Bollywood Magic 2008
Posted by at 8:39 PM
While in India, I had the pleasure of attending my company's annual employee event titled, "Bollywood Magic 2008." I was originally asked to perform at the event, which after some thought I politely declined bearing in mind that everyone values their hearing. Now I've been to a few employee events in my day, but never really seen a showstopper like this. Upon arrival after walking the red carpet, I was greeted by these guys:
Brushing off the shock of my second ever red carpet walk (the first was at one Dr. Julia Johnson's bachelorette party, so I clearly have had some practice at strutting my stuff), any reservations were quickly put at ease once I was assured by this guy that the night gets a "thumbs up." I think it was Enrique Inglesias, but it was kinda hard to tell because the light was prety much focused not on his face.
Once the show got started, I enjoyed some really good performances of traditional Indian music and dance. I was really impressed with the talented folks we have in our India offices! But this reminded me of the second reason I elected not to perform at the show: I don't speak Hindi.
So without further ado, here are a few highlights from the show:
