To the Motherland...

I'm taking a journey with my good friend, Sameer Sampat, to India. What exactly this journey is going to entail... your guess is as good as mine. Our inner voices will be our guide. (along with our handy-dandy Lonely Planet)

NRI invasion in Ahemdabad!

So, we're garba-ing it up in Ahemdabad... and the craziest part... is, most of the time, I forget that I'm in India, as we have been surrounded by NRI's -- the Indicorps crew which is really cool.. Dharmesh, Yatin, Rupal, Shivana, Anjali, Rashmi, Laxmi... and friends doing independent things... Mansi Shah, Jay, Arch (Indicorps), Rishi... and we seem to add more to the crew daily. We also have made some local friends though "Yuva Ahemdabad" -- this new volunteer organization that consists of college students across Ahemdabad.

The "society" garba was cool... they actually did it in big circles and the music was getting better and better as the night went on. We were dead tired though, and left at 12:30... right when it was really starting to get good. The huge "club" garbas is where all the "hip" youngsters go... but, so far, from what we've seen... they're not as fun, as everyone is separate in their own little friend circles during garba... and they don't do raas at all... and some of the people, even girls, are wearing Western clothes... and you have to pay to get in these... All this being said... we're going to another "club" garba, tonight.
