Life is full of opportunities, and if you have a dream, you can achieve it. That is the beautiful thing about life; You can never dream too big. If you have a passion for something you must work your hardest, and show your soul to the world. Being apart of Miss India DC helped me realize that all is possible. It was an outlet for my worries, and a platform that expressed my soul. This pageant has taught me a life long lesson; Be who you are, don't worry about the rest, and everything will fall into place. This competition isn't about winning; its about growing as an individual, and embracing your heritage and grace. Take life for every moment and everything will fall into place as it should. Be happy and be true!! | |

When opportunities come, one learns to recognize the opening door. And, once that step towards the door is taken, a rollercoaster ride filled with cheers, friendship, and learning emerges! I took the chance to take part in such a prestigious pageant and, with God’s grace, I was chosen. Yet, it doesn’t matter that I won because if I hadn’t made that first effort to make a foothold into the door, a worthwhile experience would have been lost. I would have lost my chance to connect to ravishing and bright young ladies of the Indian community, to grow as a confident and spirited competitor, and to perform in front of an esteemed table of judges and supportive audience. Life is about adventure and putting that extra bit of effort. This pageant came as the thrilling escapade that brought me one step closer to becoming a better Nikkitasha. | |

I would like to encourage all the Indian American woman of the tri-state area to participate in this pageant, because it is once in a life time oppurtunity. I believe that contests like this help us enrich the community about our culture. It is a great way for the girls to showcase their talents. This pageant helped me gain confidence and take a great pride in my background. I got to meet new people and share our experiences.I made friends for the lifetime through this pageant. It has also helped me take a huge step towards my dream. So, if you have big dreams make the first move through the Miss India-DC Pageant!!
Every year this pageant grows more...i thouroughly enjoyed it this year.Kudos to the organizers. Here's wishing you 100 more succesful years! Love - Ritwika "Smile...it improves your face value" | |

Being part of the Miss India Dc Pageant, I can truly say, it’s been so much fun. Each contestant brings in her own unique style and personality, which definitely made the experience even more re-memorable. The girls were absolutely great. At the end of the day, you just want to enjoy every moment of the pageant because it does pass by very fast. The pageant itself builds up your confidence and helps you grow as a person. You get a chance to show off your best formal wear and Indian wear. And of course, your TALENT. So enjoy each moment of it. Any girl out there should go ahead and audition to become a contestant next year, because you will realize how much fun and exciting it is. The stage is yours, and so is the audience. This is your chance to show everyone your talent and who you are. | |

This is Dhoonya Dance Company's first time taking part in the Miss India DC pageant and we have already had a wonderful experience. The organizers have done a great job at keeping us in the loop and making sure we had up-to-date information. Dhoonya Dance, DC's first Bollywood-inspired modern Indian dance school and company, is excited to provide a dynamic performance with their more experienced advanced students and performance company members. In addition, we're proud to open this year's event with the only kids performance of the show! DhoonyaKids will definitely complement the already present excitement for this wonderful event, and possibly even give the audience a glimpse of a future Miss India DC contestant! Thank you to all of the organizers for maintaining this event that showcases Indian talent and intelligence and for having us be a part of it! | |

I have been involved with the Miss India DC Pageant since I was 14!!!! It has given me the opportunity to express myself on stage and meet so many great people. Miss India DC is not only a great show to be a part of, but I always enjoy being in the audience. There’s usually a score sheet in the program so you can rate each contestant during the three segments; it’s always fun to see how close you are when the winners are announced! Overall, it’s a great show! I try not to ever miss it! | |

Rhythmaya is proud to participate in this year's Miss India DC pageant. This will be my third year taking part in this extravagant event. The first time as a singer, the second time as a model in the fashion show and now, a dancer in one of DC's most unique dance troupes. Miss India is a great way to expose ourselves to both the traditional and contemporary cultures of South Asia. Rhythmaya's professional dancers would like to thank all the organizers of Miss India for giving us this great opportunity.

Pageants are quite multifaceted, in the sense that they offer so many different things. These pageants are not only a wonderful platform to meet amazing people, they are also a way to showcase the pride that we take in our culture and heritage. Participating in this pageant truly opened my eyes and broadened my views and perspectives about myself and about the pageant experience itself. It is always about what you take from the experience and how it impacts and/or changes you. What I took most is a greater sense of pride in my background as well as a new aura of confidence that had ignited during the entire experience itself. It truly is remarakable and it shows that anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it. I never thought I could participate in anything similar to this, but when I did I had the time of my life. Cherish every moment, take advantage of every moment, and live life to its greatest. Don't leave any leaves unturned. The key element is to enjoy. It's never about winning (though it is undoubtedly a bonus), it's always about seizing the moment and enjoying it to its fullest/maximum potential. | |

I was a pageant contestant in its early years, and moved on to participating in the fashion shows. I must say, all in all, it has definitely been great fun having the opprtunity to enjoy myself with other young people of our culture. I look forward to this event every year, simply because it's enjoyable!! Even the rehearsals leading upto the event are fun. The hard work and dedication truly shows year after year. I don't know how she does it, but she does. Hats Off Neena!! | |

The pageant was one of the most enjoyable experiences for me last summer. I got to meet the sweetest girls and make so many new friends. I admire each girl for her confidence and style. Pageants are just about winning or losing, its about the experience you make for yourself and what you can learn from everyone else. I definitely learned that it takes alot to get out there, but even more that I admire each girl's dedication. The pageant was so fun, and definitely changed my perspective on it. | |
