well tomorrow night 3 of us boom boom girls are performing at indian plaza and i'll be doing my first solo!!! i'm a little nervous but since it's a slow song i should be alright. we already had choreography set for this piece but i thought it needed a bit extra so i changed it up a bit. so it's half of my own and the rest sam's. i love this song so much. it's yeh jo des hai tera from the movie swades. such a beautiful song. *sniffle* hopefully the whole night goes well. more details later.
i've noticed a few things around this place. there are a few here that seem to thrive on drama. thrive on being cold and heartless. using hateful words to cut others down for their enjoyment. words i'm sure to cover up any unpleasantness in their own lives. i personally can't, and never will, understand why some insist on being hateful. the act of hurting another human being, to cause them pain in *ANY* form makes me physically ill and i certainly would never recieve any pleasure from it. is it that hard to be a pleasant human being? striving to be a better person inside and out...just an impossible dream? every day that passes this world disgusts me more and more. people don't seem to care about other people and there is a serious shortage of feeling anything resembling guilt for being a horrible person. i'm sure this won't be read by most, not comprehended by most because their blackened hearts won't allow it but i would hope a few out there will and hopefully stop to look at themselves as a whole and wonder how they could be a better person. if you can't manage that you could always follow the simple rule....
if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
lets start with our first tv appearance. it was a disaster. sam had made a fresh cd the night before and then tested it. it worked fine. the next day at the tv studio they tested it. it worked find. three minutes before we go on we were informed that it was skipping a little so we were starting 20 seconds into the song. (they should have asked for another cd at that point)
our dancing begins. it skipped a little bit. we get three steps out and it skips again and again and then dies. cut to commercial. bastages!!!
the host bitch was exactly that. a bitch. when we were leaving not one word of i'm sorry, what a bummer, maybe next time. we simply didn't exist. whatever.
(april 2nd)
Aashiyaana Dance Competition. this was the indian dance competition that we were personally invited to. i'll tell you right up front that we didn't place and that is fine by me. i had such a great time i didn't even care. there were some phenomenal dancers that evening. i was just happy to hear ppl scream our name in the audience and to hear thunderous applause and cheers when we finished. can't wait to do it again next year. Anil and Sonia were such sweet people and we were all honored that they felt we were competition worthy.
Now for today...
we are making yet another tv appearance this wednesday (6th) and hopefully this one will not get screwed up. this time channel 3 will be coming out to the studio to film us. we'll be on tv around 4:40pm, 5:40pm and between 6 and 6:30pm. channel 3 is top of the top for our area so this could be very good for us.
we also were emailed by a young woman who wants to do a story on us for ASU's radio station-The Blaze. she was also in the dance competition and that's where she saw us. she's working on a story about the west embracing the eastern cultures- specifically Indian dance and music. since she saw us at the dance competition she wants to interview us. she expressed to a few of us that night that she *loved* what we did and can't wait to see us dance again. it's absolutely wonderful being accepted by the indian community around here. quite possibly the nicest people i have ever met.
news on how the tv appearance went later on.
