Book excerpt: If music be the food of love…four musicians are about to feast. Against the backdrop of a magnificent musical heritage and the haunting and timeless ragas that sweep through these stirring pages, Mitra Phukan presents the ambitious sitarist Kaushik Kashyap, already a ‘name’, who tours the world; Nomita, the shy, small-town vocalist, whom Kaushik’s parents have chosen for him; the beautiful, calm Sandhya Senapati and her handsome husband, who both seem to be hiding deep, dark secrets. As the eventful monsoon months give way to autumn, the characters come to a deeper understanding of themselves as their lives change dramatically and forever. By turns serious, deeply moving and utterly irreverent, Mitra Phukan’s eye for detail, her immense knowledge of Hindustani music and her profound understanding of human nature come together in this wonderfully evocative novel. “The duality between spirituality and materialism... old-world images and modern performers, a gentle satire on the ambitions of today’s youngsters... all find a place in the novel.”—The Hindu Published by Zubaan.

Download or read book Have Biscut An ode to sweet everyday moments written by Shaziya Khan and published by BecomeShakespeare.com. This book was released on with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Biscuit Moments. In our parlance, biscuit is often pronounced as ‘biscut’. Phonetically written as /’bis.ku:t/. The second syllable rhymes with ‘put’ instead of ‘pit’. Biscuits represent pleasantness and comfort, safety, and softness for everyone. They transcend distance, time and monetary means with their endearing soft crunch. Their mild sweetness. Their richly warm “apnapan”. Life is about Biscuit Moments. Moments which are like Biscuits: small and sweet, sometimes crisp, sometimes soft. Small musings on refrigerator magnets and pressure cooker whistles. Intimate observations on jackets-shakets, dancing and socks. Languid reflections on monsoon, birdsong and chiffon dupattas. Such Biscuit Moments sweeten our everyday. O have biscut.

Download or read book Monsoon written by Robert D. Kaplan and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2011-09-13 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the world maps common in America, the Western Hemisphere lies front and center, while the Indian Ocean region all but disappears. This convention reveals the geopolitical focus of the now-departed twentieth century, but in the twenty-first century that focus will fundamentally change. In this pivotal examination of the countries known as “Monsoon Asia”—which include India, Pakistan, China, Indonesia, Burma, Oman, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Tanzania—bestselling author Robert D. Kaplan shows how crucial this dynamic area has become to American power. It is here that the fight for democracy, energy independence, and religious freedom will be lost or won, and it is here that American foreign policy must concentrate if the United States is to remain relevant in an ever-changing world. From the Horn of Africa to the Indonesian archipelago and beyond, Kaplan exposes the effects of population growth, climate change, and extremist politics on this unstable region, demonstrating why Americans can no longer afford to ignore this important area of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is very hard to endure the bombs, Father. It will be difficult for anyone to survive and come back safe and sound from the war. The son who is very lucky will see his father and mother... (Extract from a letter by an Indian soldier serving in France, written on 14 January 1915 to his father) The Great War, as the First World War was referred to, saw the service of over 1.3 million Indians, of whom 74,000 never made it back home. For their families, the War was something they could not fully fathom. Soldiers from the Indian subcontinent won over 12,908 awards for bravery, including 11 Victoria Crosses. Yet this unprecedented show of valour by Indian soldiers remains largely unsung and unrecognised-particularly in India. Commemorating hundred years of the end of the First World War, this volume brings together diverse voices-Rabindranath Tagore, Mulk Raj Anand, Sarojini Naidu, Mohamed Ali, Chandradhar Sharma Guleri and many more-that reflect a variety of attitudes among Indians towards the War. Included too are Rakhshanda Jalil's original translations of the works of Urdu poets of the time capturing their responses to the War. This volume of writings, originally written in Urdu, Hindi, Bengali and English, attempts to recognise and remember the contribution of the unknown soldiers to the Great War.

Download or read book Focus Popular Music in Contemporary India written by Natalie Sarrazin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focus: Popular Music in Contemporary India examines India’s musical soundscape beyond the classical and folk traditions of old to consider the culturally, socially, and politically rich contemporary music that is defining and energizing an Indian youth culture on the precipice of a major identity shift. From Bollywood film songs and Indo-jazz to bhangra hip-hop and Indian death metal, the book situates Indian popular music within critical and historical frameworks, highlighting the unprecedented changes the region’s music has undergone in recent decades. This critical approach provides readers with a foundation for understanding an Indian musical culture that is as diverse and complex as the region itself. Included are case studies featuring song notations, first-person narratives, and interviews of well-known artists and emerging musicians alike. Illuminated are issues of great import in India today—as reflected through its music—addressing questions of a "national" aesthetic, the effects of Western music, and identity politics as they relate to class, caste, LGBTQ perspectives, and other marginalized voices. Presented through a global lens, Focus: Popular Music in Contemporary India contextualizes the dynamic popular music of India and its vast cultural impact.

Download or read book Where Do I Belong written by Rummana Chowdhury and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-10-25 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rummana's writing is thoughtful, heartfelt and encompassing of ever-widening experiences and a deepening knowledge of the human condition. This volume, Where Do I Belong, takes the reader on a journey that involves a thematic stream stretching from the shores of the Padma to Lake Ontario. There is nostalgia and longing in such a journey, brought out in such pieces as 'Hot Apple Fritters and Hot Roshogollas', a prose meditation on the manner in which Canadian apple fritters evoke the earlier experienced pleasures of roshogollas from a sweet shop in Noakhali, Bangladesh, and the shores of Lake Ontario conjure up early layers of the Padma, Megna and Jamuna, while listening to jazz resonates with the earlier folk music of Bengal. The imagery in 'Radhachura Kathalchapa and Bogainvillea' contrasts the snow and frost of an adopted northern country (admittedly along with the compensating cherry blossoms of spring and autumn colours) with the warmth and breathtaking beauty of the radhachuras at dawn in a 'long forgotten ethereal unbelievable bliss of my birthplace'--the only base where it is possible to have total relaxation. Themes of displacement, discrimination, oppression and the violence of war are worked out in cultural specificity in such poems as 'Blood Road' 'Solitary confinement' and 'The darkness of the night pulled her'. Others such as 'The rat race', 'From captivity to captivity' and 'Wrong address' concern the universal human condition and struggles that transcends race, colour and linguistic differences.
