I’ve got Om Shanti Om stuck in my head and need to replace it with some other tunes.
I need a joyful respite from the storm of crap that has enveloped me this month, and I think Bollywood is it
I’ve been wanting to come to your parties for a very long time, truth is, I cannot afford the tickets. The student budget does not allow me to splurge very often. It would be great to win tickets!! Either way, I’ll be there in spirit, just as I always am!
I just recently discovered Bollywood dancing in Portland, and I had a blast the first time I went!
I’ve heard the Bollywood nights here are awesome, I’d love to find out for myself!
Bollywood is better than Hollywood
This would be SO much fun!
I wanna because me n ma wife love Prashant is simply d best and with Akbar Sami coming in, I know it will be the biggest bollywood dance part that Portland has ever seen…Prashant, U simply rock!!!
balle, balle!
Yes, please!
This has just been one of those weeks and promises to continue to be. I very, very, very much need to dance – it makes the stress go away.
We could DEFINITELY use some dance lessons, help us out!!
I’ve never attended a Bhangra Dance Party! I would love to learn how to dance like a Bollywood movie star and heck I would even enjoy the henna tattoos. This would be so much fun!
Because I’ll be there already, but would prefer free? :)
I absolutely love dancing to bollywood songs & can’t wait to “nach all night” to “feel (way more than) alright”, after a very hectic work week!!!!
All izz gonna be (too) well:).
Jai Ho!
Can’t wait to see this guy. I will be there after 14hrs of class and will need to be back on Sunday for an additional 13hrs of class… I hope I win for the sleep deprivation!
Fun!!!
Going dancing tonight!!!
