Wolf Trap Success Updated:11:31 AM ET September 17, 2008 By Anjori Sinha Our dance was awesome! We actually performed 2 dances this time. There were a total of 6 dances from our group where we were 1st and last. We started the program with Mere Dholna from Bhool Bhuliyan and ended the program with a Tandav dance. The music for that was half from the movie Waqt and a Pranali sung by the great Kathak dancer, Birju Maharaj. ~*~

Updates ..
Updated:11:04 PM ET September 7, 2008
By Anjori Sinha

I have finally updated my photos and calendar to match the time now. Upcoming for the rest of this year is a performance that takes place this coming Saturday, September 13th. I am also working on learning more with project management, since I have change my position at work to be the project management support for our client. In support of that, I might get to travel to Florida this October down to Hurlburt Air Force base.

What has already happened:
I had gone to India with my sister this past June/July for about 2 weeks. It was a very last minute trip but great (and much needed break) nonetheless. I also had a trip out to Denver, Colorado for work. This was in the end of July. I had to go there to support our client in training users for the web application that we are developing. It was too much work to be called a vacation, that's for sure.

This past labor day weekend, our family went down to visit Ragyi. She supervised us with a lunch cruise on the "Spirit of Norfolk" on Saturday. We also went to Virginia Beach and Water Country USA. It was tons of fun! ~*~

A New House!
Updated:11:04 PM ET September 7, 2008
By Anjori Sinha

I have bought a new house. Its a townhouse-condo combination. I signed the dotted lines back in March. The coolest thing about this house is that its got 4 stories: a basement, living area/kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and a master bedroom all in separate floors each. Its great to have something to decorate the way I want to, although not much has been taking place in terms of decorating. I did install a ceiling fan alone. That was a challenge to make sure I didn't fall off the ladder. Other than that, its little things here and there that are being added slowly to make it look more like a home. I am looking for roommate right now. My first roommate was great so I have high standards now for my next one. I hope to find one soon. ~*~

Woh Wada
Updated:06:31 PM ET January 24, 2008
By Anjori Sinha

I wrote a poem waaaay back in the summer last year, except this one is in Hindi. Its the first one I've ever written in Hindi so not so sure if it is good or not. Those of you that understand it, let me know what you think. =) Those of you who can't understand it, I wrote the English translation to it as well as I could so ENJOY! =)

Wada hai tumse, jo wada liya hai
  I promise you, that the promise I made
Woh wada nibhanoongi sanam
  I will fullfil, my love.

Na janne kaise bhula diya hai
  I don’t understand how you forgot
Guzraye lamhe, jo beethaye hum
 Those moments, we spent together.

O sanam, o sanam, o sanam
  O my love, O my love, O my love

Changes for the New Year..
Updated:10:44 PM ET January 16, 2008
By Anjori Sinha

Firstly I'd like to wish everyone a very happy new year! I know its late, but better late than never right? :) I hope everyone's new year is filled with joy and blessings.

~*~

The new year has many coming out and making resolutions of how to change themselves. For me, its more like a big wave of changes has drowned me and compelled me to take some steps. I for one, don't make new year resolutions. I never keep them so I don't want to promise something to myself that will be broken in the end. Broken promises to oneself is horrible, worse than those to others. I think I take myself for granted a lot of the time and put others before me. I do things that others require of me before I do something for myself. Well, good changes are coming because life is requiring these changes from me. So this time, I gotta put my foot forward and look ahead. Even though the journey is unknown, my goals are in place. I've started on each change and have near future goals to help me achieve the ultimate. Lets hope that I can follow through. ~*~
