Desi party in Boston

Hey Mausam,

Day before yesterday, I was on my way back from work. As I got off the train I plugged my Ipod on and started listening to the track "Dil Harey" by Atif Aslam. Something happened, i don't know if it was the song or it was some divine intervention but suddenly for that moment I felt happy; I had a spring in my step, I was playing the song at almost full volume. I was not walking my way home, I was running!
Why? I don't know. Maybe I was just happy, a la Aamir Khan in that famous " Pehla Nasha" song. (But there was nothing Pehla Nasha about my thoughts. I am only referring to his state of mind and the manner in which Aamir Khan was jumping and smiling in that video)
Anyway, it was a wonderful feeling and stayed with me for the rest of the evening.(Try listening to the "Dil Harey" song and let me know if you also feel the same way!)

Last night I decided to go for a Bhangra party at one of the local club. After my previous disastrous desi party experience in US, I was hoping that this time it turns out to be a much better. The party was organised by generationdesi.com and it was supposed to start at 10pm, but this being desi party I heard the first dhol beat only at 11:30! (Old habits die hard you know!) But once it started it was worth every penny of the 15$ ticket price! Almost all the Bhangra tracks that DJ Ashu played had a dominant hip-hop influence, but that was expected. I ain't complaining as all the tracks he played were very awesome.
The usual question of "Jatt ho ke daaru nahi peeta" was asked before the party started, but yeah, that question was answered once I started dancing. Needless to say my body aches and my throat hurts, thanks to my singing/shouting routine.
It sure was a night to remember. I hope to make most out of the 3 remaining months that I have in Boston.
Regards,
Ajj Kaim

PS: I have finally learned the rules of Baseball and I watched, understood and enjoyed the Red Sox- Yankees game, but cricket still rules!
