I just remembered that a few years ago we had Juggy D as an artist and an hour before the show was going to start his manager calls me and told me that he won't go on stage unless his hair is braided!! So there I am calling every black girl I know in my phonebook trying to get them to come handle the sitaution.....his manager calls me 30 minutes later and said he was kidding...yea not so funny when I have five girls show up at the hotel :/

Aaja Nachla Charity Exhibition May 2008, Tacoma, Washington.


Esteghlal baby. ya budday hahah


So back on POL days earlier in 2008 Aaja Nachla became a new exhibition show that was going to take place in May up in Tacoma. I used to dance with Northeastern at the time of fall 2007 (NU was really only active in fall at the time) so spring 2008 i wanted to get them to go to this show and dance. most of them couldnt make it, but i pulled together a group of 8 guys to dance. including Lali n Monti from Sher Foundation and Joher and Charan from Davis Di Dynasty. So we had 8, those 4, and 4 from my side (supposedly).


background info on team name::


sooooo sarina was like i need a name for u guys in the program and for advertising n stuff, and i knew i had a mashup of dancers so i really had no idea wat to call it, and april fools was coming up so im like hehe..call us 'esteghlal jomhuriye eslamiye iran bhangra team'. from esfahan, iran. (the independent islamic replublic of iran bhangra team) so she does it. cuz its like March'ish, and april fools is coming and im like yea jsut like u know ill jsut come out n say its a joke later on april fools.


AND BUT THEN SHE DIDNT LET ME. so now u got esteghlal in the official lineup, people trippin balls cuz fuckin apparently a team from IRAN is coming n shit...
the week of the show comes around and my number of dancers dwindles to 5. the other 3 from my coast jsut went MIA and or jsut couldn't make it anymore. GREAT.
5 man team. are you for serioussssss!!?


so we went anyway. i brought the outfits from NU. we did a bit of a mashup for choreo and mix, intro song monti n lali handled, i think bagge bagge for dhamaal joher handled, and the rest was my stuff for NU. we didnt practice til 2 days before the show. hell, monti wasnt even in town til some ungodly hour friday nite that weekend. so we didnt even see him.


mixer:: young teams, were feelin older, only me lali joher n charan were there, sittin in the corner not mingling, no identifiable team gear on, jsut chillin scopin everyone out like shady clowns. everyone coppin random looks at us like oh shit..is that them. dude that has to be them...oh shit....we get bored, start chuggin beers in the parking lot with some ABC guys n just start getin nice and eventually we leave.


friday nite:: monti still not here, plane delayed or missed flight or something. lali and raj want to go to vancouver friday nite, so we roll with them. raj driving. lali shotty. me charan joher in backseat bein drunk n singing (me singin random lyrics that i actually did know) and jsut havin a good fun drive to seattle to meetup with mandeep n some of the ubc gals to kick it with them.


at some point in the car ride, lali turns around to say something (i forgot wat exactly, but it was a genuine question bout something)


Lali: hey uh guys..
Joher: Shutup sher foundation! clickclick...BOOOOOOOOOM! CLLICKLICKBOOM!! *makes motion of throwing a grenade, firing mortars, etc*
me: OMG LOL
Charan: *still singing*
Lali: yo i was gona say
Joher: I can't hear u sherfoundation!! too many gunshots brah!
Lali: .........*turns back around to face forward*...i hate u guys


later that nite at the restaurant in Seattle with a hundred diff beer taps (awesome!):::
were there with Mandeep and im sorry i forgot the others' names from UBC, and a couple of their fiancees? perhaps? mona correct me if im wrong hah but ya. Lali and Raj leave to pickup Monti from the airport. so now its just Me Charan Joher Mandeep and her UBC buddies.
CHARAN decides its a good idea to discuss how women shouldnt do bhangra. are u for serious haha. me n joher proceed to communicate in pashto that we need to get the hell outa here haha, so we eventually leave and take a taxi back to tacoma. we all passed out on the ride, and that taxi ride came out to like 140 dollars im like wat the fuck did this clown go in circles while we slept, watever, i dropped the cash, and we went to bed.


Comp day saturday:: Monti shows up, we practice choreo for maybe 1 hour maybe 1.5 hours. and we get ready and we jsut do it. came out horrible, but wow that shit was fun hah.


afterparty: good times, but then fight happened and it ended.


hotel afterwards: not dicussing haha but i eventually passed out which sucked. dammit.




sorry that was long, but joher/lali/monti/charan if u read this:: health insurance, and "i need my fat chick!!!!!" LOLL

ohhh Bharathi DONT kill me for this one please but I must share this ..


SOOOOOOO Its Bruin bhangra 09..sun is shining..grass is greener than ever..Bharathi (Jawani bhangras captain) is sitting on a park bench with a man..chit chatting..birds singing..trees in the distance...so we all notice that the conversation is going quite well..bharathi is throwing back her head laughing..wind blowing in her hair..one strand falls in her face and the man takes his hand and gently moves it away from her eyes...then we all decide to creep up behind them..then as we are directly behind start to sing REALLY REALLY LOUD.


"THUJE DEKHA THO YEH JAAAANAAAA SANAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM PYAAAAR HOTHA HAI DEWANAAAA SANAMMMMMMMM"

Bharathi JUMPS out of her seat and says over and over the the man "I am SO sorry...i am SO sorry !!!!!"

Good times.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH where was i for this HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA u guys suck for doing that!!!
You were busy gluing parts of our "MAKE SOME NOISE" sign together back at the hotel like you were instructed :p. That was a total CB move. Needless to say the "man" avoided all Jawani girls for the rest of the weekend and then took a vow to not talk to any more bhangra girls.

Here it is:

Bhangra Blowout 16: The adventures of Nikhil at the mixer

Sooooo shoutout to Mannnpreet Keith b/c none of it would be possible without (I'm just playin sis, mad love :D )
There I was, with my team, ready to just chill out and eat Punjabi Food on Friday night. I walked in, and was prompted for my ID for the VCU Roster. Hmmm, that's weird, I never filled one out, I thought. Well, even a 40 dollar bribe didn't work, but Mr. Lovepreet Mann helped a brothah out.

I was there, chilling with my mayne man Hav, and all of a sudden

Star Wars- The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)

BAM! The 4 foot something or other laid the smacketh down upon my candy ass.

I'm The Juggernaut Bitch!

I said, as I walked away with my boy.

We chilled out, took a couple of shots and then I came back. All I remember was punching a steel elevator door and talking to Duke University Bhangra, politely reminding them of this:

Maynor winning shot vs. duke

Oh deary me...the old man can get down :D

haha!! This thread is awesome. So many memories, especially those of you who are old school on the scene. Siddy's picture of Swi is definitely a winner! ;)
