Shake your booty time!
As Hindus worldwide are gearing up for this colourful and important festival called Deepavali, our Association of Image Consultants decided to join in the excitement by organising a bollywood theme event named "Jai Ho", which means victory in Hindi. The event was a blast! It was held at an Indian restaurant at Clarke Quay (somehow I have forgotten the name!). The buffet spread was great, the private room had a cosy ambience and the entertainment was fantastic. We had performances by belly dancers and we learnt about Indian dining etiquette and how to wear a sari and not trip in it! Do you know there are several sari styles such as the air hostess style, Gujerati style, ulta palla etc... Most common style is the ulta palla.
When it comes to Indian dining etiquette, it is considered rude to eat with your left hand. You should always use your right hand even if you are left-handed. However, it is perfectly fine if you prefer to eat using a fork and a spoon. It is good etiquette to wash your hands before eating. Use a serving spoon which is provided to transfer food to your plate. Never use your fingers or own spoon to touch the communal dish.
