So my Valentines eve was EVENTFUL...I mean literally! I was at a Valentines event at the Indian Community Centre, where I did this hot hot duet with Brian to a luscious, soulful song. My Valentine did come to watch which was PERFECTO! (We will do our romantic, celebratory, somewhat traditional Valentines celebration next week. I am tempted to go for the pillow fight in San Francisco, but Hash is not too excited about it.)
Anyways so the event tonight was SUPER fun. You can't go wrong with chocolate fountains, an open bar and of course, performances choreographed by the Mona Sampath Dance Company. I LOVED working with and watching Jollywood, our SENIORS' performing group. The girls SIZZLED in gold tights and orange feather boas, shimmying to the tunes of "aap jaisa koi" The boys matched their rhythms in "ek main aur ek tu." Jollywood are just amazing, and their ZEST is inspiring.
Then of course the company kids set the stage on FIRE, like they always do, and the StayFit group did a bunch of SCINTILLATING numbers. I really had fun dancing with Brian; we were INCREDIBLY connected and it felt really, really good, especially after the few but intense rehearsals, that resulted in cuts, bruises and the usual soreness. And of course our SHOW STEALER Akhil was the compere, the most ARTICULATE 5-year old I have ever met, with a VOCABULARY that far exceeds his years (and cuteness I cannot even begin to describe).
We followed up the performance with drinks and dancing. Now I am home and it is past midnight, so its already Valentines, the day Hash proposed 3 yrs ago. Today I teach and rehearse from 12 to 5pm. It will be another CRAZY day. Hash and I will probably do dinner together.
So even though Valentines wasn't what I had thought or hoped it would be, it was still a BEAUTIFUL day. I got to share my love for dance with so many people and spent the evening with a lot of people I care about. As the day closes, I am HAPPY and THANKFUL for all the wonderful people I have in my life, some who are far away, but always in my thoughts.
