Question: Practice on New Year's Eve?

I would just like to know how many people are going to Avantika for New Year's Eve and how many people won't be doing anything?

Should we have practice on December 31st?

Post your comments.

General Progress Announcement:
Sunitha auntie's class managed to start dancing this time around having choreographed at least 30 seconds to 1 minute of the song.

If anyone is just interested, our song is Dhadak Dhadak from Bunty aur Babli.

General Announcement:
For all those who didn't know, Ashok uncle's class has decided after MUCH deliberation that they would work much better as ONE dance team as opposed to TWO. So, in essence, Ashok uncle's class will choreographing one dance instead of two.

First, an announcement to Ashok uncle's class!
The groups have been decided for you and now its up to you to decide what songs you want (we will make the final decision as to whether or not you can use it) to dance to and arrange your own practices!

If you want to switch groups and trade people, feel free to do so, but its best to start dancing during the holidays (or before then) before final exams become a large issue.

Second, an announcement to Sunitha auntie's class!
We will be meeting at Jayant's house this saturday starting at 6:00 and ending whenever.

Hope to see you all there!

ASHOK UNCLE CLASS DIVISION FOR DANCES

Big news for Ashok uncle's class today. The following list is of who is part of which group (dance):

Adithya Gangadharan - Bhangra
Aditya Sathi - Bhangra
Gautam Muthusamy - Bhangra
Kartik Sidhar - Bhangra
Narain Murthy - Bhangra
Rahul Rajkumar - Bhangra
Dushyanth Panditi - Bhangra

Aarthi Arab - Telegu/Tamil (Undecided, swinging toward Telegu)

If you have any opposition to this, please comment because this isn't final.

Balavihar in Avantika: 12/9/05

For all those who weren't informed (or forgot, like me), tomorrow's Balavihar is in Avantika. Now, I can see with a certain amount of certainty that a majority of the students will not show up. However, please make it a point to be there.

Ashok uncle's class and Sunitha auntie's class should try their best to make it to Avantika tomorrow as the script will be completed and available for review and edit.

We need to start working on this so it would best if we started early. When finals roll around, you don't want to be doing too much work, believe me, it happens.

So once again, try to make it to Avantika.

Shukriya

Welcome to another post!

To all members of Sunitha auntie's class who are unaware: there will be a meeting at my house (Diections available in previous posts. See 12/5/05 post for details.)

From 6:00 to an undertermined time.
Bring money as we will be buying Pizza. You only need a couple of dollars, we're not buying Pizza Hut or anything.

So take a deep breath and I'll see you on Friday.

Check This!

I don't usually like to post twice a day, but just to spread the word:

Everyone who is checking the blog should make it a point to keep checking it daily (it's something to do when you're bored...) and to KEEP TELLING OTHERS TO DO SO.

Always check ALL the posts! Make sure to check the date on Republic Day announcements since I do make sure to add that to the heading of all my posts.

I still haven't collected ALL the e-mail addresses from everyone in both classes but keep telling everyone to visit the blog and we won't have to resort to the dreaded e-mail again.

On a happier note, do you all know what a forum is?
Here's an example of what a forum is:
http://forums.gentoo.org/

• Personalized names, profiles, pictures, debates, discussions...
  
• A true conversation instead of simply commenting on posts
• More interaction with people
• Etc.

Should we have one?
Comment on this post and we'll take a poll.

Oh, and when you leave a comment, could you please leave your name just for my own sanity?

The scripting session this Friday will be held at my house from 6:00 PM to an undetermined time. Whenever we feel like quitting, we'll stop.

I'm not going to even try and give directions myself so use my address

45040 Lightsway Dr.
Novi, MI 48375

on MapQuest or Yahoo for driving directions.


In my last e-mail I recieved several questions regarding both the scripting session at my house this coming Friday in addition to the program in general. If you are in Ashok uncle's class, please disregard any questions concerning the scripting question, otherwise, pay attention kiddos.

Ashok uncle's class... skip this next question.

Q: "ok so where is your house...and how long do u think we should plan on staying?"
A: I have provided directions above. Plan on staying for at least 2 hrs.

Ashok uncle's class... pay attention.

Q: "so u said we are doing three dances, one a bhangra the other is a normal hindi song, wats the last one gonna be?"
A: That will be decided in our meeting on Friday. However, if your curiosity cannot be sated until the 10th plan on a Telegu song.

Thats all for now. For all you curious George's, whatever part of the script is done and any decisions made will be up on the blog Friday night. See you on the 10th (hopefully).

Shukriya

Announcement: December 3, 2005

The decision has been made final that both Sunitha auntie's and Ashok uncle's classes' will be combined for Republic Day. Within one program, three different dances will occur and three different groups within the combined class will exist for dancing only.

Next Friday, Sunitha auntie's class will convene at my house for a scripting session where we hope to have a rough draft ready for the following day's class, where others may input their suggestions/comments/reviews.
