 On Saturday night, I went to the first Experience India event on campus. It all started from one of my Indian friends, Shirisha, who basically organized everything (with school support) and made it happen.
When I got there, I saw that a lot of my friends were helping with organizing, so I offered to help. This is how I went to an event to hang out and ended up on the organizing side.
The event was a mega-success, with traditional and Bollywood-like Indian dances, Henna, and a LOT of delicious Indian food!
All performances were spectacular, but these little kids were the cutest and most impressive!
Another great performance! I was too far in the back, so sorry for the not so great quality!
I took the opportunity to wear my Indian shawl, that IÂ received last winter break from another one of my Indian friends, Simrun, but that I never got the chance to wear so far.

With Shirisha, who gets all the credit!
The Henna Lady creating works of art! I didn’t get one anymore, because I got one not too long ago at a Muslim Student Association event.
As I helped with organizing, I stayed till the end to clean up, and there was this enormous amount of left-over food left. All of us took at least half of plate of the food home or somewhere else, because otherwise we would have had to throw it away. I wasn’t able to eat all the food I got the entire next day! Indian food is great, but I had enough for at least 2 weeks!
