1. Thanks for Garba - We loved organizing it for you!
The October 1st Garba was fun. We hope you enjoyed attending it as much as we enjoyed putting it together. Please let us know your feelings are india@usc.edu so that we can make our next event better.
Also, please
send us garba snaps that you think will look nice on our website. Please compress them into a zip file and use www.yousendit.com to send it to us.
2. Performers needed for the Nov. 13 Diwali Show
The Diwali show is in Bovard on November 13. We are looking for performers for Dances [one co-ed, one all male, one all female], skit, musical events and fashion show. Send us an email at india@usc.edu if you are interested. Do not be scared of these midterms.. that is why we are starting practices early :-).
3. Answer to last Sandesh's question and this issue's question
The answer to last week's question is "George Fernandes". Congrats to Anupam Jain for Cracking it.
This week's question is:
"
Which Muslim community in India receives it's name from the practice of their Arab forefathers to marry local women and settle down in India?"
As always, the first person to send an email to india@usc.edu with the answer gets bragging rights :-).
