had such a lovely time last night. went and saw the goldberg variations played by a musician who held himself quite beautifully and played beautifully. and then, best of all, i went out for drinks with my friend, i had all the drinks, she had none, but we both had a good time. why do i love bach. first off -- i know only him. then, he makes such lovely inversions - he 's always who he is whether he tries to or not to. he brings his signature back into all his pieces, something about the way he moves musically tells you its bach. only bach. undisputably so.

MYIndia

i dream of an indian cultural center. its mission statement would be:

-to foster in young children, a sense of pride in the national heritage--in indian history, culture, and all of its artifacts.
-to create a strong sense of identity among indian children of their indian-ness, to help children of indian parents identify positively and embrace the cultural, religious, historical and social construct that informs attachment with India.
-to be secular in approach, not removing religion from the curriculum but incorporating all religions that exist in india
-to not confuse this sense of pride and this identity with nationalistic machismo.
