Dancing in thandiani

The trip to abbotabad and beyond was so great so wild that i've got so much to tell people. But i've kept most rather to myself, for no special reason. Maybe the reason is that generally people aren't ready to listen to me when i'm narrating stuff like this, or maybe this is just my imagination. Whatever the case, there're are somethings that happened that need to be translated into words.
From abbotabad, we decided to go to thandiani, its the highest point near abbotabad and the second highest in all of the Galliat. We here means me, jaws, hamza, imran, asif, umair, bajwa and his friend ali, umar, zubi and faizi. We got up a little late and went to the bus stand. I'll leave out the details of getting on the Bolan Dabbas and getting to thandiani because that is a completely separate story. I'll leave out everything we did there, we did a lot. I just want to narrate one simple act we did, which seems so beautiful so memorable and funny to me.
While having a long long dinner at a small restaurant we came across 5 guys from Lahore. From the beginning they were joking around with us and the hotel owner and they wanted a room there. We weren't living in that particular hotel so we weren't really bothered. Anyways, it was pitch dark outside and everywhere else ( there's no electricity in thandiani, only generators, that too when they hotel owners wish) and while we were finishing dinner, we heard music blaring outside. We all knew wat it was, it was the sound system of these strangers' car. They seemed pretty fun loving people so i said to imran,
"why don't we have a party scene tonight?"
"yeah why not. Kehte hain insay" he seemed pretty serious. So after washing our hands and stuff, we went outside and they were smoking and listening to music. We said,
"sir koi dance wance ka mood hai?"
the guy was like
"kyun nae janab, chal bae koi acha gana lagaa"
then they put on the song "Jee Karda". I instantly fell in love with the song. The car was on parking lights and we started dancing. Reluctantly in the beginning of then wildly. It was great. It was really cold and this was what everyone needed. But not all of us danced. Jaws, umer, ali, umair and zubi preferred watching while me, imran, hamza, faizi, bajwa and asif got into action. I dont really know how to dance but i think i can manage a bit and i love dancing. It was bhangra and twist and break and whatever you could call it. The strangers were dancing with us. Then they changed songs, we danced on a couple more songs and then they offered to do a mujra. The two guys were so skilled they'd put the pros to shame. But it was kinda scary coz they went too close a couple of times. Anyways, dancing in the faint lights of the hotel and the car, under bright stars and with a view of the whole of mansehra and abbotabad in spine chilling cold with strangers, it was great. Beautiful. Even now, i can picture all that, and i can hear the song that i fell in love with...
"jee karda bai jee karda, jee karda bai jee karda tenu kol bithawan jee karda..."

i even have the song right now.

Is that the one with the kid who leaves boxing for dance? Or is it the one with the the dance duel between two dance groups? I keep mixing up movies, anyhow, they're so good at dancing. Wish i could dance quarter as good as they do. I'd be dancing and dancing and dancing.
