Learnt dance for many yrs and have given solo concerts lasting 1-2 hrs each. I have a coupla good newspaper reviews about them (with photo). Im planin on attaching a photocopy of these

I learnt vocal classical as well but im not really very deep into it

Won an interschoool acapella competition with a team of four members and performed many many times since. Won second place in other competitions.

The 10th grade in india is one of the most important yrs of ur life... and after 10th (and 12th) we write an exam called BOARD exam. A whole lot of schools in the country all write the same papers. In that exam i came 1st in school in comp sc, integrated science, maths, english. I got awards for the same for Maths English and also got Best All-round Achiever for the yr. (Other subjects did not have sponsers)

President of Interact Club for one year.

Awarded best actress for a competition within the school

For an interhouse competition i choreographed a dance (with a friend) for 12 ppl and we won. That was fun actually!!!

oops i forgot to add

I headed the organisation of an Interschool Cultural competition. We had 30 schools from all over the city participate. Did everything (delegating some of it) from designing the invitation (formal and informal) , getting them printed, designing the trophies and certificates, getting them printed and made, inviting the judges, hiring the music system, putting toghether the agenda, etc etc etc. Its a hell lot of work. I used to go from school when it got over at 2:30pm and reach home at like 7pm and had barely any time for anythign else. But i enjoyed it.

thanks again to all of u who do read this.....

I also programmed like mad in my sophomore year in basic. Its a simple language but my project turned out fab. I did two... one for auctioning (bidding cancelling, replacing, giving objects for auction) and one for a something like a mailing system...say like an email system where u can sent messages to each others acccounts. Only thing is i couldnt activate a network cuz basic isnt that modern. Should i include that? please someone reply please. Sorry for bombarding the place with questions, but im very anxious.
