Time to Experience the Great Joy of Liberation of Indian Music by a New Generation
It used to be called fusion, very often concocted in confused minds, mostly
an experience of frustration to those who enjoyed traditional Indian music.
With a new generation of
dedicated and serious musicians who seem to understand what they are playing
and work very very hard to perfect their skills, suddenly Indian music is being
liberated from their traditional limitations and scaling new heights.
There are several palpable facets
to this new, invigorating upheaval in the Indian musical entertainment, being
brought about by our youngsters through their ventures with exotic names like
Music Mojo, Kappa TV, Acoustika, Music Bowl
Rosebowl and bands like Staccato, Bennet’s Band etc.
First and foremost is the
liberation of the musical soul of the artist itself. A talented musician can
now experience that joy of his own god given talent, which was confined to the
bathroom and extremely private moments, in much more accepting, forgiving and
friendly environment.
From the nerve wracking and
competitive performances in schools and colleges, through the highly
pressurized competitions on TV and similar platforms to the demanding recording rooms of established
directors, the journey of a musician, in his quest for getting recognition and
fame is indeed gruelling.

Do the Character and the Events in the Life of Narendra Modi Validate Vedic Astrology?
There is at least one head of a political
party in India who demand that aspiring candidates for party seats during elections
approach her with their Vedic horoscopes in hand. Only the ones with the best
disposition of the stars and a winning streak are selected. This is a leader
who believes that she herself is destined to become the Prime Minister of
India.
Such is the trust in Vedic
Astrology in the 21st century India
where the system is said to have originated and where even a mission to
Mars is undertaken only after ensuring heavenly blessings.
It is likely that, despite
opposition of different kinds and various degrees within his party, Narendra
Modi, a Guajarati by birth and an outsider to the Hindi speaking heartland of
the BJP, has really won the nomination based on his Vedic chart, which the BJP
leaders rooted in Hindutwa must have realised is their best ticket for power in
Delhi.
It is because, going by the
principles of Vedic Astrology, once the esoteric knowledge of an elite group of
seers, the Vedic Horoscope of Narendra Modi stand out as a certificate for its
veracity and authenticity.
That is, assuming some party
genius didn’t conceive and cast it to suit a Prime Ministerial candidate in the
first place and simply claimed that it
belongs to Narendra Modi.

The return of the fragrance of jasmine of India.
“I am alive today, I may not be there tomorrow. I shall continue to serve till my last breath and when I die every drop of my blood will strengthen India and keep a united India alive.” Indira Gandhi.
No one had called Indira Gandhi
the jasmine of India. But just when the
ideal of a United India which she nurtured, toiled a lifetime and eventually gave
her life for seems to be falling apart,
there is some refreshing fragrance of
hope emanating from Indira’s own flesh and blood.
It is as if Indira Gandhi, who had
made millions feel immensely proud to be Indian while she was alive, has cast a
spell on her grant daughter Priyanka Gandhi. A magical yet mesmerising spell
which even Priyanka seems to be unaware of, something only those who lived in the
times of Indira can discern.
Such is the simplicity of a few words
she spoke recently, manner and mannerism with which she has delivered them, the
confidence she has exuded while delivering them and the immense destructive
power with which they have destroyed the fake facade she had hit them with, all
reminiscent of her grant mother, that one may be excused to indulge in spells
and charms and nostalgic glory of India.

The North South Divide of India Narendra Modi Can Bring Back.
Everyone agrees that the self
appointed next Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, is a fragmenting
character. Did the US Ambassador to India, Nancy Powell see the writings on the
wall and decided to throw in the towel because Washington won’t see?
Can the United States and the
rest of the world, already beleaguered by a divisive and aggressive Putin in
Europe, deal with a North South divide of a strong India, a guarantee against aggressive
China, on top of all other kinds of splintering Narendra Modi seems to have
abetted so far?
To list out the divisions Modi
has achieved so far, critics can point out his hype of Gujarat Model
Development, his professed Urban support base, his orchestrated cyber follower
base, the blind admiration of young techies he has mustered and numerous other
factors which the rest of India lack, as Modi’s own versus the rest of India
which divide the fabric of India in some
undesirable way.
“Give me three hundred seats and I will empower
the nation” Narendra Modi , who has so
far been refused a US visa on account of his role in 2002 religious riots in
Gujarat, has stated in a pre election speech.
