The First Annual Anti-Bullying Gala with The NY Giants

It seems like I started a trend to do charity events during birthdays.  Two of my friends wanted to do something similar I did back in January, but wanted me involved in it, as well as host it.  We ended up doing it on May 18th at SPiN NYC, and we had tons of sponsors this time (http://www.antibullygala.com), and the fundraiser was for Bullying.Org.  In all honesty, it was a great turn out, and it was a lot of firsts for people coming to one of my events – but to those people, this wasn’t the best in my eyes.  The Aquarius Charity Affair was quite something else – the quality of that event was close to flawless.  I’m still learning, and I can’t wait until the next fundraiser event I’ll host.

Meantime, check out UrbanAsian’s coverage of the event!

Say What?!? with Salma Khan – UrbanAsianTV

Salma and I decided to start up a weekly show – it was a last minute idea for UrbanAsianTV, and it was a lot of fun! Eventually, the camera and the set will get better – but everything is still experimental.

So here it is, a Goofy Nerd and a former Miss India Illinois discussing events that has been happening in the past week.

The Urban Nerd explores FOGANA for UrbanAsianTV

The Midwest FOGANA held their 31st annual dance competition in Cincinnati, Ohio, which consisted of Raas, Garba and Folk from all age groups.

This sold-out event brought in about 1,500 spectators from cities such as Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland to celebrate the folk tradition of Gujarat, a state in southern India.

UrbanAsianTV gave The Urban Nerd an opportunity to adventure out at FOGANA, where he got to see his roots in its raw form, and also got to see if anyone would battle him on the dancefloor.

Don’t forget to comment and like the video.
