Both Shreelina Ghosh and Manasi Mishra will not only demonstrate the physical aspects of performance, but also how it evolved from the sculptures of Konark and Khajuraho temples and vegetable-dye "Pata Chitra" artwork.

Indian American Sam Singh - Former Mayor of East Lansing, Michigan

Sam Singh an Indian American Former Mayor of East Lansing, MI has a BIG and I mean real BIG Agenda planned. Lansing City Pulse is reporting

Come March 2008, 12-year East Lansing Councilman and two-year mayor Sam Singh will finally find himself in a place where zoning and economic development are not on the agenda: Antarctica.
(Note: Keep checking Sam Singh's journey for the next 16 months which will take him to over 25 countries by visiting his website/blog.)
Instead of analyzing bike lane proposals, wooing developers or smoothing university-city relations, Singh will be running a half-marathon along pristine shores thronged by penguins and seals at the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula.

The Antarctic Marathon is one of the more exotic stops in a 16-month, globe-girdling trip Singh began Dec. 31.

Singh, 36, has dreamed of the trip since he was a teenager, when he started an ambitious list of places to visit before he died.

“For a long time, I thought this would be the type of experience I’d do when I retired,” he said. “Then you get fears of ‘Will I be healthy enough?’ or ‘Will I be able to do it because of family situations?’”

Sam Singh is going to mix Community Service along with his travels. This quote from his website

A major component for my travels will be to work with nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations throughout the world. I will use this section to highlight groups I work with as well as compiling the trends in the field of international volunteering.
