This is a nice way to start back with the blogs, don't you think?

Hey. Long time, no see. My life has been packed with the normal daily grind of class and the rather extraneous activities I am involved in. Therefore, I have not had time to post any goodies or valuable facts to you. However, I'm back and I'm ready to give you the down low on my whereabouts in a series of pictures. I hope you enjoy them- I have with the activities I did!


About two weeks ago, I went to a Bhangra party which for people unfamiliar to Indian culture is extremely intense and energetic. I went to this restaurant called Manhattan's, which is new in town. I went and ate in the restaurant below to kick the night off. I wanted to kill some time before the party so I tried out the dining area. Food was good but I didn't finish because I wanted to save some room for the food I wanted to eat at the Bhangra party.


For those of you who have heard of Bhangra music, you already know that the song is very seductive and that you may or may not do things that you would not normally do on the dance floor. The picture of me on the right shows just that, even though this is not one of my best pictures I admit. You get the picture.


Anyway, I go upstairs to where I wait in the lounge area where the food is just waiting for me. There is no one there around the 9-10 hours so I would have to wait until the atmosphere is more "hyphy" (slang for crazy and psychotic, such as in the actions of people performing on the dance floor- except this is in a Bhangra sense.) Usually parties at OWU do not start getting active until after midnight because people are actually trying to study or are doing something more constructive, so they wait until they are spent or bored to party the night away. When all of my friends arrive on the campus, when the party really starts getting ready to take off.

Bhangra, sponsored by Sangam, the Indian awareness organization, is held twice in the academic year, one in the fall and one in the spring. This is my second and I loved it both times. There is always to be something a little different with each one whether it is the location or the feel for the party and for me, this is a good thing. I don't like events to be stagnant and Bhangra parties are definitely not stagnant. They bring out my energetic side, the side that not too many people actually see from me. What I mean by this statement is that I do not exert more energy than I need at random. At the party, you see me in action!














Well, now that this feeling is off my chest, I can continue with my research on the Evangelization of Mexico and prepare for my Finals. I gotta focus- academics is #1. Three weeks remaining. I have to finish this academic year out strong. Enjoy the remaining pictures above.
