    February is Rare Disease Month, and efforts are being made to mobilize people and raise awareness about rare diseases. Most of these diseases are genetic disorders, and some run in families. Patients often visit multiple doctors, and diagnosis is frequently delayed. The Genetic Metabolic Unit of the Department of Pediatrics at PGIMER organized a walk in association with the Organization for Rare Diseases India (ORDI) on Sunday morning. The walk took place from Bhargava Auditorium to Sukhna Lake, with participants including students from Panjab University, NINE, and DAV College, as well as doctors and caretakers of rare disease patients. Prof. Ratho from PGIMER flagged off the walk from the auditorium, and Prof. Bhavneet Bharti gave a short speech at Sukhna Lake before distributing medals to some participants. Caretakers of two patients also shared their experiences and the challenges they face while caring for a child with a rare disease. Raising awareness can lead to a higher index of suspicion, early referrals, and better diagnoses for disorders such as lysosomal storage diseases like Gaucher disease, cystic fibrosis, certain inherited immune disorders, and syndromes affecting multiple organs like the heart, skin, and kidneys. The program concluded with refreshments for the attendees.

    Bollywood, the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai, is not just about storytelling and music—it’s also about dance. Over the decades, dance in Bollywood has evolved dramatically, reflecting changes in culture, technology, and global influences. From classical roots to the fusion of modern styles, Bollywood dance has undergone a fascinating transformation. The Golden Era (1940s–1960s): The Classical Influence In the early years of Bollywood, dance was deeply rooted in Indian classical and folk traditions. Kathak, Bharatanatyam, and Manipuri were often incorporated into film sequences, reflecting the cultural heritage of India. 1. Influence of Classical Dance: Actresses like Vyjayanthimala, Padmini, and Waheeda Rehman were trained classical dancers who brought grace and authenticity to their performances. Films such as Madhumati (1958) and Mughal-e-Azam (1960) showcased the beauty of Kathak and Bharatanatyam. 2. Folk Dances in Bollywood: Apart from classical forms, folk dances like Bhangra, Garba, and Lavani found a place in Bollywood songs. These dance forms celebrated regional traditions and were prominently featured in movies like Mother India (1957). The 1970s–1980s: The Disco and Cabaret Era As Bollywood films began to incorporate more Western influences, dance styles saw a significant shift. The cabaret trend, already emerging in the 1960s, gained popularity, and the disco fever of the late 1970s took Bollywood by storm. 1. The Rise of Cabaret and Sensual Dance: Helen, the undisputed queen of cabaret, redefined Bollywood dance with her glamorous and sensuous performances. Her dance numbers in films like Caravan (1971) and Don (1978) were iconic and set a trend for female dancers in Bollywood. 2. The Disco Revolution: The influence of Western music and dance, particularly disco, became evident in Bollywood in the late 1970s and 1980s. Mithun Chakraborty’s electrifying moves in Disco Dancer (1982) and Rishi Kapoor’s performances in Karz (1980) brought a new, energetic style to Bollywood dance. This era also saw a shift towards freestyle dancing, incorporating elements of jazz and rock. The 1990s: Bollywood Masala Dance The 1990s witnessed the emergence of a unique Bollywood dance style—a mix of classical, folk, and Western influences. Choreographers like Saroj Khan, Farah Khan, and Shiamak Davar played crucial roles in shaping this era’s dance trends. 1. The Signature Bollywood Dance Moves: With stars like Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi, and Govinda ruling the dance floor, Bollywood dance became more expressive and dynamic. Madhuri Dixit’s Ek Do Teen (Tezaab, 1988) and Sridevi’s Mere Haathon Mein (Chandni, 1989) set benchmarks for Bollywood-style dance. 2. The Influence of Western Styles: While traditional Bollywood dance remained dominant, Western styles like hip-hop, salsa, and contemporary dance began making their way into choreography. Shiamak Davar introduced jazz and modern dance into Bollywood with Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), bringing a fresh perspective to dance sequences. The 2000s: Globalization and Fusion Dance With Bollywood’s growing international appeal, the 2000s saw an increasing fusion of global dance styles with traditional Indian elements. 1. The Impact of Reality Shows and Choreographers: The rise of dance reality shows like Dance India Dance and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa introduced Bollywood audiences to new styles, including contemporary, hip-hop, and salsa. Choreographers like Remo D’Souza and Terence Lewis played a vital role in integrating these styles into Bollywood films. 2. Bollywood Goes Global: With films like Dil Chahta Hai (2001) and Dhoom (2004), Bollywood dance sequences started reflecting urban and international dance trends. Songs like Kajra Re (Bunty Aur Babli, 2005) still retained an Indian touch, while tracks like Desi Girl (Dostana, 2008) showcased Western-inspired choreography. The 2010s–Present: The Era of Experimental and Digital Dance In the last decade, Bollywood dance has become more experimental, influenced by social media, global trends, and digital platforms. 1. The Influence of Hip-Hop and Urban Dance: Hip-hop has become a dominant force in Bollywood dance. Stars like Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, and Varun Dhawan have embraced breakdancing, popping, and locking in their performances. Movies like ABCD (2013) and Street Dancer 3D (2020) have brought professional dance crews to mainstream Bollywood. 2. Viral Dance Trends and Social Media Influence: With the rise of Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, Bollywood dance has become more accessible to global audiences. Dance influencers and choreographers now play a significant role in shaping trends. Hook steps from songs like Ghungroo (War, 2019) and Kala Chashma (Baar Baar Dekho, 2016) have become viral sensations. Bollywood dance has come a long way from its classical roots to its current fusion of global styles. With technology, digital platforms, and international influences shaping the future, Bollywood dance continues to evolve while staying true to its vibrant, expressive essence. Whether it’s the timeless grace of Kathak or the electrifying energy of hip-hop, Bollywood dance remains a captivating and integral part of Indian cinema.
