Tuesday - Sangeet

Sangeet was geared towards Nitya’s female friends and family to dance and celebrate her wedding. Nitya entered the room looking gorgeous in red. While she entered the room her brothers carried the “Sitaroon ki chaow mein” over her head. It means “under the shadow of the stars” which was composed of strung flowers and hanging medallions.
Sukhbir, a Bhangra singer, sang the night away. Sukhbir is based out of Dubai and is a fusion of Bhangra with rap, techno and reggae. I REALLY enjoyed his performance – and I could not believe he came all the way from Dubai to perform at Nitya’s wedding!!!

I also performed an Indian dance number with two other bridesmaids in front of EVERYONE during the ceremony. Fortunately, it was choreographed by two very talented Bollywood choreographers so it was pretty good! Toot toot! I’m tooting my own horn! Our dance, along with all of the other ceremonies was recorded by CBC, Canadian Broadcasting Corporations. CBC has been following us with their cameras all week, apparently they will be airing an episode on “the effects of Bollywood” on Canadian televisions in February 2008. What a small world!! What are the chances of a Canadian film group being involved in the wedding I am attending??!
