Open-minded

I just had to post the video clip of something that just about made my weekend. My forays into the Indian reality television show, Dance India Dance, have been met with kind and talented judges, a sympathetic "grand master", and super-talented and sweet contestants. It's certainly no Top Model, but there is this one amazing dance that is done by two (apparently) straight boys in drag. It's kind of amazing. (The song lyrics are basically saying "my happiness killed me, killed me, killed me...") It get's started around 3:30, totally worth the watch.

Pomp Obsessions - Spring Break

Stranded at my parents house with a sprained ankle during grad school spring break means that I have a lot of free time for obsessing. I spend most nights watching my Bangladeshi parents favorite reality tv show, Dance India Dance. And the verdict is... it's awesome. Not only does it force me to learn Hindi by listening and bugging my parents for translations, but the dancing in it is amazing... see for yourself. (It get's interesting at 1:20.)

You can watch Krishna and Radha dance here

They even had a good ole girls vs. boys dance off (:42 for this one)

And the last thing I'll bore you with is this pretty version of Half a Person that I just heard by Welcome Wagon. It made me think of spring break roadtrips with my seat reclined, eyes half-closed, smoke drifting out the windows and warm wind blowing through my hair. Sigh, a girl can dream.
