When I felt like Shammi Kapoor

Okay, first things first. I am not a dancer. I do not dance, and even when I do I am not a great dancer. In fact, I feel I am slightly better than not dancing at all.
So what do I mean I felt like Shammi Kapoor? It means my body was shaking involunatrily, in all ways possible without any control. I also felt myself humming a song of Shammi Kapoor.
Hold on... I was not in any disco ( I have never been to one). Nor I was in any party( No parties from sometime now).
I was infact in a BMTC bus going to my sister's house. The bus was on Bannerghatta road when I felt what I have stated above. The road is so horrible that all the people in the bus were swaying. The condition of the road is the same from some months. It was okay if a small portion was bad, but a strech of about 2 kms is bad. There have been some repair work done, but it is just patch work. They will surely disappear with the first monsoons.
Such is the state of affairs in an important road in the country's silicon capital.
