If You Can't Do the Time ...

I've been meaning to go to the Baltic Room's annual Diwali/Bollywood party, well, since I missed last year's. So was I going to let a little thing like a recently dislocated shoulder and multiple pulled muscles stop me? Hell, no!

So, in what might have been described as an excess of joi de vivre, I shed my sling, put on some cool clothes and went with my coworker Ajitha & her partner Diwakr to (belatedly) ring in the Hindu Near Year, last night. It was like Brimful of Asha on the 45 (with live percussion!) till the wee hours.

Amazingly, I appear to have damaged myself in no important way--especially considering that I dislocated my shoulder for the first time a dozen years ago while ... dancing. But last night's calesthenics were, ah, less vigorous than that at infamous incident.

But, man, am I sore! Good thing I got to sleep, today ...
