I have this crazy friend who is singing songs on Facebook....ok not literally singing; he is typing out the lyrics of all these fun and crazy kuthu pattu and this one song Vadi Vadi brought back a flood of great memories...Homecoming 2007... the theme was "Wild with Pride" and the ISA (Indian Students Association) decided to participate for the first time... well we did not want to do it for the sake of competition or anything...the idea was that we should have fun doing it... so we send out e-mail inviting participants and a bunch of people volunteer. The day before the event, we are sitting in our apartment thinking about how we could best represent the theme and this guy ( the same one who is singing songs on FB) suggests we should all dance for this song... all of us get super excited and some of the people who can dance think of some typical fun kuthu steps that we can all learn overnight. On the day of the event, we get to the starting point at around 6:00 a.m. when it was freezing and someone brought hot coffee and fresh doughnuts from Krispy Kreme... we all load ourselves with sugar and dance our way through the entire parade route....It was so much fun and so crazy...the judges couldn't understand head or tail of what we were doing but they could all see that we went really "Wild with Pride" and gave us the first place...
Soooo...everytime I listen to this song... brings me back to that crazy Homecoming Parade and even as I am writing this I have the goofy grin on my face...
