Garba11

GARBA (:
This north-Indian event where people go and dance to Indian musicc (:

IT WAS MAD (:

But in all seriousness was pretty epic. Me, Lena, Sushmitha, and Anu all went to Anu's house, and got changed there from musical - btw Anu's little brother is so cute :D Then Puneet and Nana came over and we all left :D

Went to this place in Castle Grand - actualy we arrived pretty early :L and then met up with Anu's friend Aanchal and walked in. Omg - so many people STARE at you. Bloody unnerving :L And then came the whole everyone greeting people thing whilst we waited - so me and Lena kept doign re-enactments of literally EVERYONE there. The whole thing was pretty much the same.

''Excuse me?
OMG!
*squealing and much hugging
*i havent seen you in ages!
etc etc .

And, there were actually quite a few white/asian / non curry peopel there too - all dressed in curry stuff - so yeah (:

First came Garba part of the night - which is dancing with sticks basically. Everyone was pretty much making up their own dance, and there was this awesome line thing, where you danced with one person, then spun around, and got a NEW PARTNER :D Except the dance thing kept changing so it was confusing >< But fun - and ran into a lot of people from curry extra-curricular stuff and events and stuff(:

Thennnn - I think this was about when we ran into Tree, Kiran and Saj. Then danced with them - TREE IS SURPRISINGLY GOOD AT THE WHOLE INDIAN DANCING THING. Haha - just sayinn. (:

Uhh, after this we (me lena anu nana puneet sush aanchal) went to get drinks and stuff, and met up with tree and stuff again.

OH RIGHT - Tried teaching tree some indian phrases ( i love you / marry me?) and he actually went up and said them to some (semi) randoms :D Ahaha - none of them took it seriously cause they all thought he didnt know what he wa s saying - which was partially true:L 

Shortly after that was saj's third-wheeling session (I think tree intentionally dogged him? He was laughing his head off - but gotta admit it was funny :P) , whilst Aanchal was showing us Bhangara moves - which is basically any move that looks remotely indian. We were trying to indian-ify musical routines - IT IS SCARILY EASY - esp with Sur La Plage!

Then came performances - HOLY MOLEY THEY WERE CRAZY. Where do people get the energy D:

After that was this huge wait, cause there was something wrong with the speakers - so everything was about 40min delayed. Which is actually pretty typical for any curry event but still D: then came Bhangara - for anyone who doesnt knwow what that is, it is pretty much Indian 'pop' music? and you can basically dance anything cause the lights are off and noone sees you. Sooo everyone was doing typical curry moves like' screw the lightbulb pat the dog' and the 'traffic lights' somehting that Aanchal taught us and stuff - but some English songs came on. Was undoubtedly funnest part of the whoel night - exactly liek a school dance - but with indian music and curry dance moves x)

I swear the whole night random people would come up to you and be like ''OMG do you rememeber me ? from ______ (Pre Uni / That dance event / Youre _____'s brother!) etc etc. Which was particularly awkward cause one person came up to me and asked me that - and I honestly had no idea who she was D: But met up with so many people who I havent seen in ages which was amazing (: And met a bunch of new people too actually .

Then we had to LEAVEEE :( (Me and Puneet)
If there are no exams - we are all so going next year (:

how indian does tree look :D Lol -gave him my scarf-thing so he'd look more curry - totes worked :D

One - kinda bad quality but i think its cause of Facebook - photo of us at Anu's place( :

Btw: Nana's laugh is hilarious :)
and Anu's parents are amazingly nice :D

vaish
