My friend Manny and I went to the Chinmaya Mission Garba & Bhangra Night in Lidcombe last night (at the invitation of a friend from Hindi class)… It was so much fun!
We started off with Dandiya, which involves hitting the sticks of your partner in a pattern and spinning along to the next person. Much dizziness ensued.
The DJ later moved on to Bhangra and hip-hop music, which got the crowd going…
For once, I also had an excuse to wear a kurta (and dupatta) and dance around like an idiot (without feeling like a fool!).
Ahhh… good times!
I was there too!!! Did u stay till the end and see the fight?
Hope you had fun…it’s good fun, isn’t it? I try and go everytime one’s on…
Cya!!!
Yep, we were there and saw the fight… both of them! Such a shame for it to end that way.
I did have an awesome time, otherwise!!!
A flight?
Did it come down to a dance-off??
hey Jem,
finally got to your blog, looks great!
glad you had a good time at your Indian night, seems fun
one day i’ll join for smth like that, to refresh my indian memories too!..
Danu:
A “fight” between some guys fighting over some girls… you know the story. Quite sad, really! There were chairs being thrown and security involved. All got a bit icky.
No dance-off, unfortunately. I’d love to have seen them trying to out-do each other with Bhangra moves.
