“…Bhangra Beats is much more intense. If initially the workout seem too much, you can lower the intensity or just do the default move and pick back up when you are rested. Just don’t give up. With time, as with me, you will build up some serious stamina!”

An Improbable Meeting

Tue, 26 May 2009 16:51:04 -0400

Sorry for not updating in a few weeks. I’ve had to go to 4 different weddings in 4 different states the last 2 weekends. However, at the last Sangeet I attended, I ran into Rani from Mississippi (who won a copy of the Bhangra Beats DVD during my Jus Punjabi interview). Who would have thought?? Having only spoken to her over the phone , it was great meeting Rani and her 2 daughters in person, and I hope to continue to meet other Bhangra Beats fans from around the country and the world.
