Diwali Puja and Garba with Bhav Bhakti
To celebrate the Hindu Festival of Lights Bhav Bhakti will organize the annual Diwali Puja , after which SASA will organize an awesome dinner and garba party! The technicalities of Garba will be taught for those who have no idea what it is – and later there will be open garba and dandiya raas time for all to enjoy. Attire will be fancy – all out lahengas and kurta pajamas if you have them, if you don’t, never fear, skirts and pants work too – but its fun to be colorful and dress up! So, if you can, do it!

Utsav: a fesitval
October 13th 9:00 pm- 1:00 am - Reynolds Club, Hutch
Geared towards incorporating first years and returning members, Utsav is our ‘celebration’. We are organizing a desi fair (mela) complete with authentic South Asian games and competitions, chat stalls (as in bhel puri, not casual conversation), booths for mehendi and merchandise, music, performances and a dance floor! Dress up in desi clothes, but something comfortable that you can still have fun in (for example, girls you might want to go with a salvaar kameez, and guys maybe a kurta and jeans)… so remember to pack these things before you arrive on campus!
General Meeting #2

This will be the Second General Meeting of the year. At this meeting you will learn more information about the show and the various ways you can be involved. You will also touch base with the members of the committee to find out what is in store for the rest of the quarter. At the end of it all we will be serving Hot, FREE Samosas!!
