MIT Bhangra, India Day 2011

DateMonday, October 24, 2011 at 12:18AM

OK, this was a couple months back now, but since I always post the video of MIT Summer Bhangra's performance at the big India Day celebration on the Boston Esplanade -- here is this year's. Rehearsals were disorganized as usual, but it all came together in the end. Anyway who cares if it's not the most professional bhangra performance. It's fun.

I'm in the second dance.

Coming Aug. 17 -- India Day, Boston

DateWednesday, August 6, 2008 at 09:25PM

I have gotten really bad about keeping this website updated.

I am back in Cambridge and I'll be dancing in the India Day celebration on the Esplanade in Boston. As usual MIT Bhangra will be closing the show, going on stage some time around 8:45-9pm. 

This photo from India Day in 2002 shows me in the foreground in blue, in a squatting dance move that I probably can't do anymore. The dance I am in this year luckily has no squats.
