World space radio interview

Yes! I have been invited to be interviewed on the Indian Satellite radio "World space" as a guest. They want to know about Gujarati culture in USA. You know I am going to open my big mouth and talk about American Raas (as I call it) and other dance forms that our kids (young adults) are performing in colleges and keeping the culture alive. I plan to talk about Rutger's use of "pink panther theme, BU's use of Boston tea party theme, Batata nu Shak etc. along with the usual serious stuff about how our culture is evolving in the west. I will try to get a voice recoding and post it here if they would let me.
India is crazy as ever. Mumbai is exploding with wealth. Now Bollywood defines Indian culture. It used to be the other way around. Culture used to define Bollywood.
Congrats to BU (my daughter's team). They were second, but I heard that the Boston competition was not terribly well organized. No comments on judges since my daughter is the captain.
I will attend Maryland Masti. I have heard that it is a good up and coming program, well organized. See you there. This will be my first Raas competition to attend this year.
