There were 27 kids who put up 5 dances and they ranged from something 3 years to 12 years or so. It was a great show put up by our personal friend – Mayuri Ray

Dallas Memories
Usually, when we mention to friends in Atlanta that we went to Dallas to vacation in summer, the usual response is “But, why?” đŸ™‚ True, it is hot and humid in Texas and really not that many places to go to. But after living in Dallas for 15 years, all our friends who became family in this country for us live there. We went to visit them. I missed taking pictures of my best friends – Madhumita and Basu – but we have captured many other in this video…

Natasha’s dance at the Poila Baisakh (New Year) Festival in Atlanta in April, 2008. Bengalis celebrate their New Year around mid April every year.
This was Tasha’s second dance in Atlanta. She and her friends were tutored and the choreography done by Ruchi Lodh. The beautiful pictures during the credits in the beginning and the end were taken by my highly talented photographer friend Samaresh.
