Bhagwan Dada had the body of a wrestler and the jiggle of Ginger Rogers. He had rhythm and music embedded deep within him. He saw people, noticed their inherent swing, and let their tempos move him emotionally and corporeally. He assimilated new ideas by trying out the rhythms of those he encountered. He captured a move, a quip, a flick of a wrist, a twist, a quasi jhatka and a feline matka, and made them his own. He owned it! He danced to tunes that one couldn’t name.
