I'd like to start off by saying that the latest rendition of "We Are The World" that Tenny posted up may have been one of the most inspirational videos I have ever seen. Seeing the effort that every individual is making to support another nation in need is truly inspiring. I have never been so proud of our community, our country, and our world :)
As for the Olympics:
1) I can definitely attest to the fact that Tenny is indeed a sports fanatic.
2) It was heartbreaking to learn of the death of Nodar Kumaritashvili hours before he was about to live his dream, but having come that far must be a dream come true in itself.
R.I.P. Nodar Kumaritashvili
But the games go on and the 2010 Olympics is something I've personally been looking forward to for a while. Two years ago in the summer of 2008, I had the opportunity to participate in the 2008 Dance World Cup in Vancouver, BC. At the time, they were also preparing for the 2010 Olympics. It's amazing how time flies and absolutely unreal to think that these contestants on TV are where they were setting up only two summers ago.
Also, did you all know that Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn spread Austrian CHEESE on her leg to reduce inflammation at the Olympics?! Talk about strange...hmm...I wonder if it really works though...
OH. Almost forgot the most important part of my post. Today I witnessed one of the best dance performances I have EVER seen in my life. The Akram Khan dance company came to UCSD tonight and performed a SPECTACULAR work of art. Akram Khan is a Bengali choreographer who is London-based. He trained in Kathak (an Indian dance form) for many years and now choreographs fusions of Kathak, Contemporary dance, Ballet, and Modern dance. Tonight he partnered with the National Ballet of China (Tenny, it's like our cultures fusing! How cool. haha.) and produced an AMAZING and I mean literally AMAZINGG dance production titled "Bahok". Everything about it was beautiful. Wow. DEFINITELY worth my money :)
Here is a brief trailer of the "Bahok" performance:
Well that's all I've got for now!
Fashionably Yours,
Nisha
