If the Shakra girls were on the rampage, I’d get out of the way if I were me. Which I am, in fact. On their new DVD, the three Shakra girls, Brownen, Hilary and Na’la, blast their way through a workout that the Americans would call “kickass”.It’s a stomping, kicking, punching workout, bursting with high [...]
I’ve decided to take one Pilates exercise a day, and add it to my dance workouts. Of course many of the dance workouts have yoga and Pilates inspired moves to begin with, but by focusing on one exercise at a time outside of the workouts I want to try and perfect them. It isn’t just [...]
What you see here is the face of penguinphobia. Thanks to her uncle, this little girl is petrified of the curious, comical birds everyone else loves. The thing is, Pushpi is a force to be reckoned with and is afraid of nothing at all. Disciplining her or getting her to do anything, including take her [...]

This isn’t a special effect or a man in levitation. This Zanskari man, like many of [...]
Here’s something mesmerizing, soothing and meditative. Ilana Yahav is a sand animation artist and paints with sand on a glass table. She swirls and throws and brushes the sand around till it flows. In the background, music and sounds flow too. The effect is rivetting. Watch her at her own website at Sand Fantasy.
If there’s something special about Bozenka’s “Every Shimmy in the Book” I’m afraid I couldn’t find it. I’ve seen more detailed shimmy instruction on general belly dance videos, forget shimmy-specialized ones. Bozenka shimmies real smooth and pretty. But what’s the fuss about?
First of all let me point out that this certainly is [...]
I’m sure Gulabo will grow up to pleased she’s the first dog to make it to my blog – specially the cat section of my blog. Ha. Well, she’s way too cute not to. This little milky looking Labrador puppy lives in South Delhi, with eight other dogs – one mommie, six siblings, and [...]
