Milap 2008

by | Tuesday, March 11, 2008

The Indian Cultural Society of greater Lansing (ICS) held its annual cultural program Milap 2008 this past Saturday. It was a great program with traditional and Bollywood dances, songs, and other performances. My daughter Shreya’s dance troup, performed a Kathak dance (a traditional Indian dance style), to a classical Hindi song (Madhuban mein Radhika naache re…). I was volunteered to be the unofficial photographer of the event and I took over 400 photographs over two hours or so, 350+ of which are now available for viewing on my Flickr site.

That is my 8 year old on the left. You can see the entire show by going here (external link to a set on Flickr) or just photographs of my daughter’s dance group by going here.

Goodbye 2020 (whew), welcome 2021

2020 has been a heck of a year... and maybe in hindsight (hindsight, of course, being 2020) it will all make sense. But, I think we can all agree that it is time to let it go. A lot has changed this past year but one tradition we wanted to keep alive was the short...

On breaking the rules (and words)

My daughter on her blog has a new poem / haiku called Sweat, a haiku with one glich. She is in India right now where the temperatures are easily in the 90's - which I guess explains the genesis of the poem. What was more interesting, to me however, was the manner in...
