round 1

this past weekend (5/19) we celebrated the upcoming wedding of my good friends vicii and anush....we from the NYU crew (me, ruk and barbara) would like to take full credit for making this wedding happen given that we were the 3 people that introduced them.

so a group of us (doris, barbara, kiks, michelle and me) got together on various saturday mornings over the past 2 months and put together this little dance for them. the songis called Jogi andit's by Punjabi MC....i picked the song because it apprrpriately spoke to the couple's love for hip-hop, dancing and all things that slant towards the ghetto. it was also short enough for us to only make fool's of ourselves for all of 3 minutes and 11 seconds and it had a builtin applause in the song....all reasons to me. but the most priceless thing about this song is the lyrics:

Na de dil pardesi nu, tainu nit da rona pai jaaoga
Don't give your heart to a foreigner, or you will have to cry everyday
Naal ranjhe te jogi de, tainu jogan hona pai jaaoga
Falling in love with an ascetic/hermit will make you the same
main ishq de allayah zakhman de khud has has ke moonh see laangi,
I will soothe all my pains from love, with a smile on my face
je yaar mera mainu zehar dave, main gat gat kar ke pee langi
Even if my lover gives me poison, I will gulp it down readily
Come on ......

and this weekend--memorial day--the wedding....
