This weekend the Tamil community gathered to enjoy a wonderful South Indian buffet dinner after a full afternoon's worth of dancing, game playing, singing and acting. It always amazes me what effort they go through to pull this off every year.
For weeks, the kids and adults have been holding dance, singing and acting practices in their homes. The menu plan was organized and families were assigned items to cook on that morning. A venue was selected and folks were trained on the audio/visual equipment available. Unlike many other Indian functions, this one is specific to a certain region of India where they speak Tamil. So, unfortunately for me, the program was mostly Tamil and Bartee had to do a LOT of translating. Disappointing to my MIL, I still have not learned Tamil. Despite the language barrier, I throughly enjoyed every minute of the program.
