Jen/ More Indian News

[Guest guest]

Luckily, I have met an indian lady in my town. My town is very small -only about

30K people. She is a punjabi. She wants to invite me to her house for dinner -

and she will make idli dosa! She informed me of the Odissi dance,

tommorrow, which I am going to. I am excited -cause it gives me chance to wear

sari! I will dress my mom in Salvaar Kamiz. Then I also found out next week in

a town about 1 hr south they are having south Asian film festival. That sounds

very interesting!<<<<< How did it all go? Bet your mom and yourself had a

wonderful time!

Sy- yes, I feel the same way! I would love to settle in India. I wish it were

more practical than impractal for me- especially at this stage of life! <<<<<

Likewise for me Jen.. I can only keep dreaming and hope for it to come true

one day by the Grace of Lord Ganesha! I was in North India in 1980 and that was

not the place for me but the South is paradise from what I gather.

I heard of An American who did that- he got only about 500 month from social

security (dollars) which is hard to live on in US- he is retired and living

somewhere in Chennai- that is about 2-3 times more than a majority of the

people make! So, he lives quite well there!<<<< Thanks for telling me about

this American man in Chennai. Its given me a lot of encouragement.

Is there any opportunity for you to rent Indian films in your place?<<<<

There's a "trendy" New-Agey suburb in Sydney known as "Newtown" where Indian

videos can be found. There are Indian grocers, sari shops, sweet shops,

artefact shops etc. Other than the grocers, the rest charge an arm & a leg

compared to the prices in India. Haven't been to Newtown for about 2 years as

I live a distance from it.

Aum Ganesh,

Hi. Yes, I have uploaded images to the files section- they all start

with the title VINAYAKA (as this is one of Lord Ganesh's names) and

have a number after them. Hope you all get a chance to see them-

there are some nice images from temples, homes, and shops in Chennai.

Due to unfortunate luck we did not go for that! We did go to an

Odissi dance. Sorry if I already mentioned this- it was fabulous. The

man danced with such devotion to Lord Jagannathan. (Orissa and North

Indian god) I met a Tamil family there- and hopefull can get Tamil

lessons from someone! There is a new temple opened up near by and

maybe thinking of Going for Ramanavami.

I haven't lived in North- how long did you stay? I was there for

three weeks totally in different places- as you say I agree- it is

also not the place for me- to live! Visiting was not so pleasant due

to the rowdies up there.

 

Lambodara - Hi Thanks for sharing your comments on my site. Actually

recently I have restructured my site into frames- here is the URL

You need to choose frames or no frames version. Hope you all enjoy!

 

I guess the Thaipusam site is popular- anything with fanatacism is

always targetted for attention. I don't agree with body mutilation-

though I do agree with some of the philosophy behind it.

 

Well- Wishing everyone the new year- it is Tamil and Telugu and

Kannada (know as Ugadi for the two last) New Year this weekend.

 

Bye for now,

Jennifer
