As the title suggests i decided to go in a nice sime salwar suit becos i wanted to dance a lot..being from south india the only garbas i have been are here in US...:) this is probably the 4th garba iam attending and for the last three i have never even considered the option of wearing a saree...even though i would love to flaunt it..(Aria i do that all the time in front of my mirror:D..my roomie says that iam still not out of that kintergarden phase..)..N was the one who started this idea and finally N and S dressed up in saree ..they looked very pretty too :)
But the actual garba was a real bummer..becos we were all so engrossed in getting dressed..we were very late and we missed the Garba raas..made it just in time for dandiya lessons..since i had been to 3 Garbas before this it was no problem for me to master it and actually N and S danced pretty well too without their saree falling apart..iam so gonna go in saree for next garba..anyways back to the anticlimatic evening the beat for dandiya was so slow that i almost fell asleep..at one point i expected the next dandiya song to be "waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam.."..lol
but it was fun with N, S and ofcourse Mr.A was there :)
i danced a lot with uncles and aunties this time actually something that i have never done in the last three and it was fun..other than one uncle repeatedly hitting my fingers with the dandiya stick every single time i got to dance with him.....:D
but all in all i missed the fun i had in last 3 garbas where i would dance with abandon ..iam usually so tired and hungry at the end of it that we all go out eat something at like 1 am and then sleep for like 12 hours after that :)...the garba event got over at 11 with aarti and here also i was surprised when instead of " jai jagadish hare.." they started some other song..everyone was so quite during aarti as no one knew how to sing that song....
i dont know why i felt so cheated yesterday....hopefully next garba can recreate the magic of first garba for me ..
cheers

Hi
Yours was a cool post on Indianness. Keep up the good thoughts and keep posting
Do you write stories in Indian magazines ? If you don't I suggest you should start writing !
By the way do you know that many innocent young upcoming INDIAN professionals, their elderly parents & sisters have been arrested as Dowry laws are MISUSED by some WIFES and un scrupulous lawyers.
A good criminal justice system works on the principle that EVEN A SINGLE INNOCENT man / women should not be punished.
one is "..innocent unless proven guilty..".
However Sec. 498A of Indian Penal code (CRUELTY TO A MARRIED WOMAN) is directly against this principle and FORCES the accused to prove innocence. i.e. the accused is guilty until he proves himself innocent
The law that WAS SUPPOSEDLY meant to protect weak and establish justice has become a weapon in the hands of few un scrupulous wifes. Elderly mothers& sisters have been arrested. Unable to bear this some have died.
Many courts are aware of the misuse of law. Recently Chennai High Court has restrained police from arresting people on Dowry related charges under sec. 498A
===========================

HC restrains police on dowry complaints :
Chennai, Sept 28: The Madras High Court today restrained the city police from receiving complaints, investigating or filing charge sheets under the Dowry Protection Act 1961.

So please be aware + take necessary precautions
