Bye-Bye Bua, Belly Dance... n Much More...

When she used to live is States, her every visit to India used to be special. Everyone excited at home, so many preparations and especially when me and cousins being kids used to be excited about the presents she would get for us! 5 years back, Bua was transferred to Bangalore, India.  Thanks to her I got to sit on an aeroplane for the first time and that was Me and my Grandma who went to Bangalore in 2004. Their Bangalore house was a palace, huge so many rooms and their roof was the best... I remember everything from my trip...I still miss the friends I'd made there and Bua's neighbour who was in her 70s however befriended me and we did swimming together... After two years, Bua shifted to Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Thanks to her I got the confidence to travel alone. The Chennai House was beautiful too, again another palace... After almost spending 2 years in Chennai Bua came to Gurgaon that is like NCR, that is like being next door, neighbour!!! Furthermore it became a daily affair to meet bua, as though she had been living with us forever. Nightstays at Bua's place were a luxury, comfortable and the most outrageous experiences. Even though we would do nothing, just relax but the atmosphere around and especially living in one of the most beautiful houses on this earth, what better you want...I would miss playing carom or cards or crossword with bua, watching pictures, and working on her Imac... well I sound selfish but the kind of experiences I'd have with bua, hanging out with her were really fun...and I'll miss that... Last night Bua and Uncle left for Boston. I cried, I felt bad... I was wishing that somehow we could spend more  family time :)
It was a surprise and seemed completely impossible that Bua would one day actually be next door...!! awesome fun.. Bua I'll miss you, hope you have great time in US, and hope I'll come to visit you soon!! :D

Today was my first belly dance class , at the Banjara School of Belly Dance. I went half hearted for the class because I feared that it might turn out to be lame like all the earlier classes I had gone to at various other dance institutions!! However I came very happy, excited and with more desperation to learn Belly Dancing... my instructor's name's Meher. She showed us few moves which were so fantastic which assured me that Yes! she is professional... There were like 15 students, rather I should call ladies, because I was the youngest amongst them. The one elder to me was in 1st year college. Meher told me that I'm picking up pretty fast, that made me more confident about what I was doing... Plus we even started with the choreography. The performance is in September and the theme is ''Belly-wood'' that is belly dancing with the touch of bollywood. So our batch is learning the moves on Kajrare. Exciting!! And now it makes me impatient for the nest class!!  Yeahpie!!!!

In the evening today, we're going to the 50th birthday party of one the friends of my parents...Hopefully I'm gonna wear a dress!

I haven't found a Guitar instructor as yet. This does not make me feel terrible or sad but disappointed that it extends the number of days I'll be practicing on my own without any supervision telling me whether I'm doing it correctly or not! It's OK, though!

Indian Premier League is starting today... but no match of Delhi Dare-devil, so I don't think I'll be watching it!! :)

~~~
and that's it... I don't think there's much to do except clean many of my shelves... that's a headache... I started with a new book that My sister issued from the library ''Stick or Twist'' by Eleanor Moran. Moreover, I simply skipped the first three parts of Twilight and simply read the 4th part for I knew the most of the story... from my personal experience don't read it, it sucks, however it is better than a sleeping tablet :P and that's it! Tomorrow's Sunday and hope it is as great as the last one!! :)
