The Diwali fest at Oracle


All practices done till the last moment, props readied, costumes and accessories ready and we were all set to rock the place! Around 2,000 people turned up for the show and it was a sell-out concert! The Bunty-Babli theme around the wedding setting was a hit and the audience just loved it and we loved the fact that they enjoyed every bit of it :)

The function had some brilliant music, some superb songs, fantastic tabla performances, a breathtaking kathak natya, and the magnificient Bollywood wedding medley around the Bunty-Babli skit. Our Thee-Thee song with the Mallu saree was a diya dance beautifully choreographed and we had an amazing time as the audience applauded and cheered for the diyas. We had fun too, never worn a Mallu saree and so much gold jewellery before, hehe. Then the finale of the medley was the Bole chudiyan followed by Say na Say na. Lost count on the number of compliments my lehenga received :D

All done now, and am already missing the practice sessions and all the fun we had. No more running around during the lunch sessions for practice, no more sneaking time in the evenings for a few dance steps, no more dinners at dhabas in Cupertino, hehe. Raising funds for the function was another small task I had undertaken and man, was that tuff or what! All that and so much more will I miss. Will have more time in hand for the work I am paid for, haha. But jokes aside, I am already missing all the sweet friends we used to meet up with...cant wait for the next Diwali when we start planning for the grand function.
