Hic Hic Hurray

 

Saw Carlsberg beer bottles getting loaded to a TASMAC van. 

Though I stopped drinking some months ago, thought “One small step for Tamilnadu, One big leap for the dazed up community”.

Digging Deep

We thought that he was a true Jedi master who would make his pupil the most accomplished one (or the Chosen One if you love prophetic words). 

But turns out that the Great Master himself has a lot to learn, especially on the power of silence.

 
The master here is a gentleman named Digvijaya and the pupil is a Gandhi in making. The more Digvijaya talks, the more we understand that he practices the ancient, secret, esoteric art called nonsensia!

This coke has lots of fizzzzzzzzz

At last some refreshing music.

After years of highly uninspiring, ‘custom –built’ music, Coke Studio (from MTV) which enthralled Pakistani audiences with exciting performances by top pop-quwalli talents including Atif Aslam and the likes is to open up its innings in India at 7.30 PM IST this Friday (17^th June 2011)@ MTV.

The difference between this program and the other music programs is that this program works on a jammin session mode wherein music is jammed live along when the singer sings. While other programs work on pre-defined notes, it does not often gel well with Quwwali and Hindustani music as singers are allowed to improvise.

That is why a live performance captures the soul than the studio music and that is why CDs of live performances are so much in demand. And this program does capture that soul well.

On line up for the Desi version are exceptional talents like Shankar Mahadevan, Kailash Kher etc.

How do I know vouch for the quality of the program? Go to YouTube and listen to the Pakistani version of Coke Studio. 

In this case, hearing is believing.

Coalition  Dharma: A new hybrid thought coined recently that is made to sound very Indian and very ancient. Refers to turning a blind eye when there is a theft, but neither the guard nor the thief is responsible for the act of theft.

Job: Refers to the work carried out as per coalition Dharma (See- Coalition Dharma above).

Coalition Partners: Refer to Mafioso (Mafia groups)

Corruption: Part of coalition dharma. Ok till not caught.
