Lets hope this wasn't a one off, but at least an annual event. Thank you so much ladies.
Now all I want to do is watch 'Slumdog Millionaire' and listen to 'Jai Ho'.

bollywood and henna party
Living an expat life, with friends from all corners of the world, has its advantages for sure. A group of talented Indian ladies organised a fabulous ladies only evening on Friday, where 50 of us enjoyed the delicious food from south and north India, Bollywood dancing and atmosphere of an Indian party in our Dutch city. The professional classical Indian dance teacher was amazing - the hand movements, gestures, and theatre in the dancing was mesmerising. And even the non-professional Indian ladies were fabulous too - so graceful and beautiful in their jewel coloured saris and tunics.
I've wanted to wear a sari and have my hands henna painted for a long time, and both wishes came true on Friday evening, when a friend shared her beautiful sari collection with 8 of us. And I had my right hand painted and also the back of my neck. Below are mine and a few other friends henna painted hands.
Lets hope this wasn't a one off, but at least an annual event. Thank you so much ladies.

ReplyDeleteLove that. I had a henna painting once on holiday - i think it's a very good alternative to a tattoo :-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun! I've been discovering the Indian restaurants around here recently.
