To-Do (Top 3)

1) Kickstart Kickstarter for proposed documentary: ‘Tokyo or Busk’

1b) Finalize storyboard and interviewees for above project

2) Keep applying for government/NGO/NPO graduate school scholarships

3) Balance tutoring, filming, interviewing, etc while overseeing 39 American college kids throughout a summer program.

The past 3 weeks have been simultaneously tumultuous & enlightening. As my 24th year awaits, I look back fondly upon my time in NC, spent carefully with loving friends & family.  Considering their support, I feel that my decision to come back to Tokyo was surely selfish, but needed to recalibrate and prepare for a successful return. Here I am, back in Japan [rock you like a hurricane].

Curious since childhood, I have been keen to the cultural differences and unifying forces of our society. Although American-born, I was Indian-raised and slowly learned to embrace South Asian values alongside American ideals. In 2010, I founded the Queen City Bhangra Academy, a not-for-profit centered on sharing South Asian culture through music and dance, specifically focusing on secondary and higher education. In addition, I offered bhangra and dhol lessons and performance services. Two years later, I am proud of the organization’s progress, and the community’s warm reception for each lecture. To request a lecture/performance/details, please email qcbhangra@gmail.com

After a whirlwind of life events, I turn back to the city that questioned, tested, and ultimately absorbed me. Once again, I detach from the scenes and circles of the US. I  couldn’t forget the nights in Shibuya, days in Yoyogi Park, and exploration throughout. Tokyo, I’ll see you shortly.
