Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away with me where they can't tempt us
With their lies
I want to walk with you, on a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee kigh
So won't you try to come
Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you to come away with me in the night
Come away with me

Friday night marked the first time in approximately 2 years that i've seen so many indians congested in one place, for one solitary event. I think the last time i saw such a battalion of indians would have to be in Little India. in singapore; so i think it was more than a slight awakening for me when i saw close to 1000 indians at this function i went to with a couple of mates an my brothers. I think its called "garbhar", and it was MASSIVE! i was seriously standing there for about one entire minute, awe struck, mouth agape, just soaking it all in.

and the wonderful part is that there were people from all ages and all walks of life just dancing together in unison, with no reservations whatsoever and the multitude and myriad of colours was so beautiful. i didnt realise how much i missed being "indian" till then. you could almost taste the freedom in the air. it took us a while to get used to the steps since all the girls were wearing long skirts or saris making it rather difficult to see their feet movements, but we got it eventually, and we got to dance with the sticks too!! haha! i've always wanted to do it, and now i have! YAY ME!

Here are the pics...we were too busy dancing to take more than this..haha!

Us Girlies!

I have NO idea what i was doing...too hyper after all the dancing!

Me and my Bro!

The STICKS people! ARGHH!! i loved it!

and i love being indian...! the food is almost sinful, the clothes are impeccable, the colours are vibrant, the music is addictive and once you start dancing, you can't stop for anything save a desperate need for water or a sprained ankle...there's so much culture and history involved! i mean, wat more could you ask for?
