Civilization of the ancient India brought wisdom to this country. Values such as peaceful co-existence and cultural diversity have deeply rooted in this society for thousands of years. These values happen to coincide with the visions of We Are One International. On January 22nd, as the Republic Day of India approached, We Are One International brought members together through an Indian culture night at Mithila restaurant in the heart of Osaka!
The party started off with a presentation on India. Members followed Yumi and I to discover the richness of Indian culture. The restaurant owner Mr. Sharma from India shared his understanding of his country with everyone. After that, an exotic belly dance by Rei excited the crowd! At the end, our magician Alex performed magic shows and brought mystery and laughter to the event!
Tendoori chicken set and samosas provided by the restaurant won favorable comments from our members! Special thanks to Mithila Restaurant, belly dancer Rei, and all the participants who showed up! Your smiling faces and contentment are the reasons why we continue to strive for the better!
We hope to see you soon! Namaste!
1月22日、ネオンが艶やかな食い倒れの街、ミナミの大歓楽街に佇むインド料理店Mithila(ミティラ)でWe Are Oneのインターナショナルパーティーが開催されました。
Our first guests arrived 20min before the event started
因みに「ナマステ」という言葉は「ナマス」= “bow”(お辞儀する)と「テ」=“you”(あなた)の2語から成り、“I bow to you”(あなたに挨拶する)という意味で、なんと、私たちの活動グループ名と同じ”We are one”「私たちはひとつ」という意味合いもあるようです。あまりにでき過ぎた話にちょっと苦笑。ミティラのオーナー、Sharmaさんによるとお互いを理解し、心と心のふれあいを深める上で「ナマステ」はとても大切な言葉だそうです。またヘナタトゥーはお守りやおまじないとして模様に願いを込め、お祭りや結婚式にタトゥーのように描くボディペインティング。花嫁と花婿が横に並んで合わせて始めて1つの絵が完成するといったデザインもあるようです。
Curry, Naan & Tendori Chicken
「インドは今でも一夫多妻制ですか?」と唐突な参加者からの素朴な疑問に、今回参加していたインド出身のPunithさんが急遽、アドリブ回答するという面白い場面もありました。 クイズの正解者にはチャイスティックのプレゼント。私もTrue or False Questionで適当にNoと答えて正解し、ちゃっかりスティックを1本ゲットしました。(*^^)vでも問題が一体何だったのか未だに思い出せません。(笑)
