Enjoy Pakistan, India on the Same Day Pritam Bhattacharjee throws down at Georgia Tech on August 4 ... says a friend of a friend of a friend, this will be "a nice introduction for you to North Indian Classical Music." Check out some mp3s and his bio. He's staff at the Pandit Jasraj School of Music Foundation, Atlanta chapter.

It's also the day to celebrate Pakistan's Independence (technically on August 14). Aside from family fun like a bouncy castle, music and food, there will also be a Pakistani consular officer on hand if you need a visa or advice or etc. Among the sponsors is Bridges TV, a broadband station that brings South Asian TV to anyone with a broadband connection, apparently.

And, uh, well, of course India's Independence Day is one day after Pakistan's, but the big India celebration isn't until next weekend: Festival of India at Gwinnett Center, August 11.  ¶ 8:33 PM
