Flyerer Of The Week: Penn Hindu Student Council

Time to accept that you stress-ate too much Insomnia before midterms...oops? You owe it to your skinny jeans to torch those cals, so why not get down at a four-hour dance extravaganza? 

Our Flyerers of The Week are Aarda Rajendan and Neel Koyawala from the Penn Hindu Student Council/Young Jains of America. As usual, we tried not to say anything insensitive.

So, what are you flyering for?

Aarda: We’re flyering for Garba, which is the culmination of a nine-day festival—we get close to four hundred people, and we dance from 8 to 12 at night on Saturday and have an awesome time.

That sounds super exhausting. Do you get a good workout?

Neel: Yes! It’s a great workout! In fact, some people now have done exercise Garba sessions.

How would you compare this to Pottruck?

Aarda: We’re more fun! Treadmills are so boring, and they’re outdated.

Neel: And it’s a great cultural experience too, if you’re trying to get exposed to a new culture.

How did you end up being flyerers today?

Neel: We got assigned. She’s the Spirituality Chair. 

Aarda: And he’s the Co-President.

What’s the weirdest thing that has happened to you while flyering?

Neel: This girl got a Mask and Wig flyer, and I was giving her a flyer, and she gave me the Mask and Wig flyer back, because she didn’t want it. She thought I was going to take it back from her. So that was pretty weird.

Oh, so does that mean you have wars with the other flyerers?

Aarda: Not yet—we’re a peaceful Hindu non-violence group.

Yeah, that would contradict the whole Spirituality Chair thing. 

Aarda: We attract people with our peace.
