11-23-2007 - Sweet 16 and Sangeet

Earlier, this year, we decided to stay in for thanksgiving holiday. So, what's better than to DJ a couple of events in the long weekend? So, we DJ-d two events, a Sweet 16 party on Friday and a friend's Sangeet on Saturday and still had plenty of rest. The weekend totally rocked.

After our sweet 16 girl cut her cake, the usual dancing started. I must tell you something about this group. I meet several kinds of groups while djing. Some dance to only those tunes they know and spend most of their time behind the DJ booth, telling the DJ what to play next and spend very less time on the floor having fun. Another group, dances to any tune you play and just want to have a good time at the party. This group was of the second kind. We played, Bhangra, Reggae, South Indian beats and this group danced for more than 2 hours non stop for any tune we played. It was so much fun DJing their event even for us. We both kept dancing behind the booth as well.

At the end, we had few guests come to us and say, "We have seen several Djs that just play music, par aap dono bhi itni masti kar rahe ho ki, watching you both, we were even more motivated to have fun. Excellent attitude, wish we had someone like you in New York". THAT MADE OUR DAY!


Saturday was spent at Sachin's Sangeet, who is a fellow DJ and a brilliant dhol player. So, what happens when you have two DJs in a room? The room gets a total knock out set up with two DJ systems, just for 100 people. The decor was stunning in the room. The evening had many dance performances, Shayari, Teasers to the couple etc. Jaya and Anjali danced brilliantly, after all, they are trained under Chaula Thakar's Nadanta, a dance school that I belong to.

When open dancing started, it looked difficult for the guests to freely dance, perhaps the dance floor was too small. We saw them dancing a little and clapping in a cicle a lot. So, even if you are having a small party, if you have a dancing guest profile, make sure your hall has a big dance floor.

Dr Sanjay Gupta was part of the guests, Vinny recognized him, though I did not. I have a poor face recognition algorithm built in. At the end, we sang a few songs for the couple and Sachin joined us too.

Oh and we survived totally on our neighbour's food that weekend, it is so hard to eat at the parties, when there is so much work at hand and you are all pumped up with energy. We got home both the nights and ate Idli-Sambar she gave us. Our neighbour is an absolute darling and takes care of us like a big sister !

11-02-2007 - A KHAN wedding

Lucky us, we got to DJ two events back to back, Mehndi and the actual Shaadi. Mehndi was purely for the ladies, so gentlemen, may we kick you out pleasantly? I being a girl, get roped into some of these privileged ladies-only events. They are a lot of fun and perhaps, unlike men in a bachelor's party, these ladies are so well behaved and have so much fun.

The evening started casually in a laid back mode until the families made their entrance. The groom's family, minus the groom and other men of course, came in with eloborate gifts for the bride. Girls formed a trail with lovely candles, flowers and gorgeous suit sets for the bride and the bride followed beautifully under a dupatta canopy.

After an exciting photo session on the stage in a swing, the entertainment started with several dance performances. Girls performed dances for the bride and covered the ground from hiphop to belly dancing. They were amazing. We had an impromptu performance on 'Mehboob mere - Fiza', which was a stunner too.

The rest of the night was power packed with bhangra and high energy enthusiasm. The nikah next day was very traditional. Our bride walked in with 'Tere bin - Atif Aslam' steering through the room. That song never sounded better than that.
That is us by the way.
