Desh ki dharti
So my cousin brother Kedar just won a dance competition in Singapore. Apparently the theme was salsa and Indian fusion. Am still trying to fathom how that is possible. Vertical bounce motion of the shoulders coupled with side ways hip swinging? Bhangda meets latin dancing! The thought cracks me up. What will people come up with next? I have requested pictures.
I adore the boy though. Apparently his mom will be relocating to Singapore from Bangalore as the Principal of Delhi Public School International. Super cool. I get to see him in Bombay after, gosh, two years. Oh I miss home. I get to attend a full on Panju wedding, see this fool, pig out on, well, EVERYTHING..travel travel, see close close family and friends, and the list goes on. I have half a mind to spend my whole summer there and realize every dream I have had. Learn the tabla or sitar, practise Hindi and Tamil, possibly venture out to Bodhgaya, spend time with cousins, aunts and grandparents who I haven't seen in a while, volunteer with one of three NGOs that I have been in touch with, pay homage to Manali, Vaishnav Devi, the Himalayas and maybe Calcutta. I want to make it up north, but I doubt time will permit me. Hence, the inclination to just spend the summer there.
Thinking thinking....oh visa to El Salvador has been arranged for.

If you make it to Himachal Pradesh, I recommend Tabo (in Spiti-Lahual) or Sangla. Manali's a joke...though the Italian Restuarant halfway between New Manali and Old Manali, Il Forno, is recommendable. :-)
the pull is intense, isn't it. i'm trying to decide too. if time and place only permitted us to do all the things we wanted to do....
