Children from the India Association of New Hampshire entertained
the guests at the Hillsborough County Nursing Home in Goffstown NH on
Saturday June 18, 2005. The program included a variety of classical and
folk dances from India. The staff at the Nursing Home made all the
arrangements needed to accommodate a large gathering of Senior Citizens
who were once again treated to a variety entertainment program from
different regions of India. Last year this event took place on Mother's
Day. This year we were pleased to be there in honor of Father's Day.
Meera Nair opened the program with her Ganesha Kauthuvam, followed by a
delightful skit on the merit of being united which was performed by
Pragnya Iyengar, Nishant, Nitin, and Shreevatsan. Anusha Gopal and
Varsha Gopal stole the hearts of many with their dance. Anjana Mangalat
danced to the sixties song, "Parde Mein Rehne Do" followed by Aishwarya
Ravi who performed a folk dance in the Kuchipudi tradition. Lekha Nair
entertained everyone with a Wedding Qawwali. Amritha Mangalat performed a
gypsy dance, "Kurathi Naatyam" which is a popular dance from Tamil Nadu.
Anusha Gopal concluded the events with "This Land Is Your Land" which
she delivered on her violin.This had all the delighted audience singing
along with the music.
Barinder Ahluwalia and Tony Epaphras addressed the audience and that
concluded the day's events. We have been asked to come back next year.
The children were touched by the appreciation and praise that they received
from the audience.
