letters from england....
Dear ones,
so, my email's haven't been going through...apparently british computers hate me as well. i hope this one gets through though. i miss all of you very much, though it's been only a week. how've you been, what're you up to? i have SO much to tell all of you- we arrived on monday safe and sound. our dance classes started the next day....my aunt wastes no time ;) last wednesday and thursday vibha and i got to assist in teaching dance- classical mixed with folk- to third graders from two different schools. one which is completely asian and the other which is more caucasian. the kids will get together later- july 10th- and preform for the community here. the program is an attempt to promote intergration in the society here. so, that took up quiet some time. Then saturday vibha and i went to a mela- like a carnival, lots of ethnic food, tons of rides, music, street acts- that was soooooooo much fun. then the next day we drove to this city called hull to watch this fusion precussion performance my aunts arts company was sponsoring- 2 artists, one playing tabla and the other playing all sorts of drums, from the trap set to african bongos.
life here is very busy, tiring, but in a good way. this comming thursday we're going to go watch this old hindi movie (jhanak jhanak payal bhaje!!) which is part of this film festival- celebrating music in movies from around the world- called Bite the Mango. OH, and this coming sunday vibha and i are preforming at the wedding. it's a little odd though cause we don't know the people getting married. a lot of people here hire companies to provide entertainment at weddings, rather than ask their friends to dance, so this couple hired my aunts company....so, it's a little odd for the two of us, a lot of pressure, hopefully it'll go well. okie loves, it's a bit late here, i'm off to drink some hot chocolate and get some rest :) i miss you guys so very much, please do write- and i'll try to write more often (on dial up connection here, the internet is a bit flakey- one a side note- much like the weather, cold hot cold hot cold hot...) sweet dreams, take care!
love,
sadhu
