Thanks a lot, guys, for helping me experience the college life in India! |

Arya Recital 2011
This recital was an emotional affair. Ruhi returned as support and make-up manager for the girls. Also, the only senior in our troupe enamored us with her speech, telling us how much she loves us and how she lives to dance for us. For most of the troupe, it isn't all about dancing. Many of us find a family away from home in this small group of Arya Troupers, and we are as close as siblings. We're all going to miss our pompous Hinnah a lot, and hope she does well in college! We performed our competition piece at this recital, along with a piece with the choreographers and a couple of Bollywood/hip-hop pieces.

School Action Shot
The school team in my junior year was at the peak of its performance. We went farther and had a better league record than ever before. I've played with most of these guys for three years, and we've bonded with each other really well. These guys accompanied me on my whole volleyball journey. We have memories that will always be with us.

ICC 2011
Our confidence and domination on the stage was best seen at this performance at ICC. We won first place again, and was probably our best performance in terms of technique and energy. Not only did the troupe win for its classical piece, but our classical girls won 2nd place in the classical category as well! Way to go Arya Troupers!

MVP, Renegades 17-2
This is one of my proudest accomplishments. Our team in general improved greatly, and I'm proud of every single one of them. Everyone had something to contribute on the court, and the team was unrecognizable by the end of the season because of how much it improved. This award has my name on it, but I think it should have everyone's name on it.

CCF 2011
Winning, second year in a row! Although this time we weren't as sure in our performance, we were fairly certain that we were in the running for 1st place, and we won! It's a great way to start off our dance season this year, guys, but we're far from over.
Rarely can unadulterated joy be seen to such extents on our faces. Shreya, Sonam, and Aditi (left to right) are two of my closest friends on the troupe, and we have a blast outside of practice and rehearsals as well. Today was a great day for the four of us!
