I found this site that is just an all-around everything you need to know about Inida.
I has an overview of India, a clickable map, that then gives you detailed information about the place you clicked, shows the national insignias, tells you about each major city, tells you about the regions and states, and gives you travel info, as well as airline info.
I don't know how many of you have seen the movie Slumdog Millionaire, but I have, and think it is a very good movie. This website will take you to a youtube video of the last song in the movie, it shows the translations of the text while you listen to it. The movie is based in Mumbai, a city in India.
This last site is a video of a middle eastern belly dancer, I had to post it, because her name is Krystal LOL. This is amazing, if I was skinny, I would want to learn to do this, and look at the little boy, he looks ecspecially fascinated! LOL
The overview of India was real helpfull. I love that you found the end song of Slumdog Millionaire WITH WORDS! I alwyas wanted to know what that song said. The belly dancer video was great.
ReplyDeleteI've heard Jai Ho somewhere before but I can't remember where. And actually, if I remember what I was told correctly, bellydancing was originally for bigger girls like us Krystal. In today's world it's shown as being for skinny little things, but back when it was invented, it was for ladies who had some meat on their bones. Not to mention, I've tried some moves before and it's pretty fun.
ReplyDeleteKrystal you make me laugh with belly dancer named Krystal! You would do that but I really enjoyed watching KRYSTAL belly dance. I wish I knew the fundamentals to be able to move my hips like those girls can. I am intrigued and amazed! The custome in the picture of the women belly dancing is beautiful! You would never see anything like this is in America, but it is absolutely gorgious! You can see in her position with her hands in a certain position the Indian culture and customes showing through her movements. We actually talked about how Indian dancers move their hands constantly and you can clearly see that here. I enjoyed your blog Krystal, the belly dancer. :) Just kidding!
ReplyDeleteI really like that Jai Ho song. I had heard it before but didnt know where it was fun. I actually heard it played this weekend in a zumba class! Theres not too much about it thats indian. It sounds very westernized
ReplyDeleteAhhh! i love the belly dancer. She is so beautiful. The jai ho song is very upbeat and fun. i love that you found this.:) The women belly dancing in your last video has such a beautiful costume. You could totally be a belly dancer krystal:) Just watching this girl dance makes me tired. Belly dancing is a full work out. I wish you could have this around more localy:)
ReplyDeleteI love Slum Dog Millionaire. Thanks for posting the video. It is good to know the words and it is just a fun video. Belly dancing is always good. I am a terrible dancer as you can imagine, but I love watching other people dance.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that movie. Funny story about it too. I own an xBox, not a playstation. So I sat down to watch that movie this summer and it was in the playstation and I didn't know how to work it. So we finally got it to play, and it was the final dance scene. All we kept thinking was "wow...this movie starts out really upbeat!" but then it turned out to be the very end of the movie. Good story right? :)
ReplyDeleteyea, good story Newar LOL that last song is really the ONLY upbeat one LOL
