About my best friend who inspired me to start breaking(bboying) !

I'm gonna write about my most most loved and best best friend here who inspired me,who teached me,who helped me and did everything which all best friends do :P . AND ALSO HOW DID I START MY BREAKIN' ! well ! here we go.
    I was a normal dancer till my 8th grade ,those were the times when i used to dance regular styles like bollywood,salsa,contemporary and all such. But one day there was this friend of mine named prince,from my dance class. We always used to wonder about those dancers who used to hit some incredible moves,but we never really knew what it was called or where it was used to practice,originate or whatever ! prince said he saw a guy in subhashmaidan who hits a thomas flare very nicely. i was like whaat ??? what is a thomas flare ?i wanna see it !!
   so done ! prince said lets get going the same evening to that ground and check him out. We went to that place and i saw a guy,prince said yeah he is the one ! we went to him and prince asked him to show us a thomas flare(i was really very curious). so he got ready and baaam !! that flare was mind blowing and was something i saw in my life for the first time in real !!
     I was interested in such form of dancing because when i was in 5th grade,there was a wedding reception of my uncle ! and there was a dj rockin' the beats,and suddenly,a group of boys who wear kind of hiphop fashioned clothes came in, made a circle,and THEN ! they started hitting some moves because of which i was so astonished !!! and mahn !! i could feel my heart burning with desire to learn that style of dancing! i could feel the jealousy inside me pumping loudly !! My heart and mind said to me !! that yes !! OMKAR ! this is what you gonna learn and do in your whole life ! FEEL it !! LIVE it !! Explore it dude !!!! from that day i was in search of this style,i was in 5th grade and couldnt really explore it very fast.
    NOW ! coming back to the thomas flare. After that guy hit the flare,undoubtedly,it was a 2nd hit to my heart that this thing came back again to you ! I became friends with that guy. He was SUNNY(yes this was the guy who became my bestie later). From that day i used to go regularly to him and i started exploring the style. At that time even sunny didnt know many things about this style. NOT even the name !! but we were as crazy as hell for this style ! We visited cyber cafe(none of us had pc or internet whatever that time) and on youtube,it was a whole new world where we came to know that this is BREAKIN' !!! and there are thousands of BBOYS AND BGIRLS and a whole BIG BIG HIPHOP culture abroad and in India too ! We used to get inspired very strongly every time we used to hit youtube. Things went high and i learnt so many moves,steps,styles,forms,transitions under breaking. We visited other places,cities where other bboys used to rumble. Sunny is in HIGH DOWN CREW(dombivali, D-TOWN) . I learnt alot from this crew and yes i was a proper bboy because of this people.I went to stylz of beyond breakdance studio in the D_TOWN itself for 3 months where i learnt and cleared the basics . Bboy K-KURT ,my teacher i love him. He taught me the importance of foundation in Breakin' and urged me to practice hard. I did battles,showcases and many many things ,exploring a whole new world of breakin' where there's a big scope for your creativity,your understanding,your will power,your discipline,your fitness,your strenght and yes your character. Bboying is now what i eat,feel,execute,teach,enjoy and explore. And as all this happened sunny became my best best friend :)
                One day we clicked some of our pics. Here you go ! the first pic shows a THOMAS FLARE :)
