    Hello Priya,
    We have been to many Rangapraveshas, but yours beats them all! The whole presentation, starting from the invitation, decorations in the lobby, music and lighting, was very nicely done. Your talent for dancing is awesome. You have made so many people who worked so hard for the event very proud of you. We look forward to re-live the event when we see the video and photos during your visit to North Brunswick.
    Congratulations.
    Jayaprakash Uncle and Madhavi Aunty

    Phenomenal. There’s no other word to describe what you did. The virtuosity of the performance was so breathtaking that it made the pros on Dancing with the Stars look like amateurs. You moved both with grace and feeling, expressing the beauty that all great art tries to acheive. The costumes were also masterpieces of blinding splendor. And I’d be remiss not to extol the exquisite food that itself was an act of edible magnificence. In short, the evening indulged all the senses in the sublime. My deepest thanks for letting me be a humble participant to such a stunning achievement. It was an honor, privilege, and revelation.
