haha, for everyone who was waiting outside after the show waiting for the bus at SoCal...you know giddha is not boring...LoL. Special shout out goes to ABC, APD, and BABC! Thank you so much for providing much needed entertainment with the boliyaan and dhol, you guys made the night very memorable!

"well idk....a couple drinks and the giddha side is unleashed every now and then" -- Danny

You pretty much said it! And your giddha side was unleashed several times...haha.

Gabar Singh, first, I love the name! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy giddha boliyan, you should since it is a bunch of women complaining about their married lives! LoL.

RAJI--

I know, many people are not giddha fans. I myself was never one until my mom told me to try out for the Giddha team. And I must say, its one of the best things I did. Giddha has changed since when we use to learn it back in the day for the annual Gurduwara culture shows. What makes giddha so different and not easily appreciated is the fact that it is so true to punjabi culture, and it can only properly be done one way, traditionally. All the bolis are in theth Punjabi, which makes it hard for people to understand what is going on in the first place. But regardless, you should definitely come out to TPD, and give giddha another try. You might be surprised.

thank you to all the teams who are supporting giddha as a whole!

Go UCD Giddha-----> Whoo, woo!

 

[Raji]

I appreciate your thoughts. Giddha is very theeth punjabi- I like that because I can actually understand it. I enjoy listening to bolyian there funny and fun to listen too but I don't enjoy watching giddha preformed. But, you may be right- if I have some time I'd come out to the show. Again, no disrespect to any teams or the art form its just never been my thing...

 

[Laddi]

Good luck to all the teams going!

Like Raji, not a BIG fan of Giddha, but would rather see a Giddha competition taking place than watching giddha at Bhangra Competitions!

p.s.- I thought JATT was going Amarpal? ???

 

[Tor Punjaban Di]

UPDATE:

Although there has been a tremendous show of support for MAJAAJANA from Sydney Australia, they will be unable to compete at Tor Punjaban Di due to difficulty obtaining international Visas.

They will not be replaced with any last minute additions of other competing teams.

Thank you,
Tor Punjaban Di Committee

MAJAAJANA from Australia?

i think they made a mistake some where here and there.....they have a MAJAAJANA from L.A...so i guess it might be them! i doubt it that a team from Australia would come perform all the way to U.S.

but i might be wrong! never know!
