I was impressed with their organizational skills there. I'm not sure I need a DVD, but the dancing really was great. Some of the skits, though...oof. <BR/><BR/>Keith - how can a person not enjoy bhangra? I don't need a nonstop diet of it, and I can easily see how it's been overmixed, but it does have a hypnotic effect on my shoulders.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1146779299309133692006-05-04T16:48:00.000-05:002006-05-04T16:48:00.000-05:00I used to work with this guy from India whose favo...I used to work with this guy from India whose favorite song was called "F*ck Bhangra."

The guy who sits in front of me was in the bhangra group. He'd been growing out his beard all year so he'd look "more Punjabi" for India Night. This week he is clean-shaven.<BR/><BR/>I was out of town at a conference, so I guess I'm going to have to buy the DVD.JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07300525020981762048noreply@blogger.com
