Zany first take, with lots of desi-isms thrown in. Date: Fri, 20 Aug 1999 19:59:22 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Dance Party : You're invited! Good evening UNC Computer Science this is debug how may I help you? (oops... wrong number...:) Bhaiyon aur behenon (B&B).... We (names withheld) are hosting a dance party as an opportunity for us new South Asian (?!?) students to meet all of you & get to know you & (maybe) dance with you... and you've just been invited ! "Nooooo.... I don't know how to dance!!! leave me out of it!!!" you say. Fine. Neither do we! Let me reassure you that you won't have to dance if you don't feel like it, and many of us don't know the first thing about dancing... its the ENTHU that really counts! Interested? Here are the details... Time : Saturday , 8pm Venue : Kingswood R-6 (Srihari & Deepak's apt) (WARNING: no furniture. Bring your own (and donate it to us, of course) and stand to earn our gratitude forever and priority service in all computer-related non-honor-code-violating matters for the semester :) Music : Madhukiran & Co. Snacks: Yes Drinks: Yes; Non-alcoholic (coz that's what's cool right now... :) BYOD optional Dress : Yes; come as you are RSVP : NA, as I don't have a phone connexn yet. But please be there. Plan: The first hour will be spent in talking and snacking (to light music) after which we will take to the (carpeted, ugh:) floor and move to some groovy beats (God & Madhukiran willing). So please try to be there (unless you've got that killer assignment submission or your dissertation adviser is breathing down your neck or you're taking Sonali to Harris-Teeter and Walmart for the 4th time or...:). You're welcome to bring along a friend or SO or spouse. I'll end in fusion Desi-NC style "Bhaiyon & Behenon... Y'ALL COME !!!" Cheers, Deepak ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This one MTV-inspired, much more polished...
