Making lover out of a bedbug!

Clouds, rains, birds and bees have had a significant share of poetic expressions. Bollywood music has captured these elements in nature to reflect connectivity to human emotions of love, romance and longing. From Bheegi-bheegi raton me, meethi-meethi baton me to Kabutar ja-,ja-ja and from Ek ladki bheegi-bhagi see to Bhanwra bada nadan haai, there are numerous musical renditions that continue to capture soft and sensitive moments, and enhance their emotive value.

Lyrical reflections of electoral misfortunes

Like literature, cinema also holds a mirror on society. Whilst entertaining the viewers, it rarely misses a chance to reflect views from the margins as ‘objectively’ as possible.

Lullaby is the essence of raga!!

Have you ever watched how a lullaby (लोरी) works on a toddler? Even during those early days of cognitive development, soulful melody by the mother (or Nanny or grandparents for that matter) registers on the tiny mind of the child.

Chowkidar Deserves More

The prime reason for immense mass popularity of cinema has been its hold over the narratives that touch multiple aspects of our daily life. While the script has characters picked from ordinary existence, making a valued sense of their existence had the support of meaningful lyrics and soulful music.

Creating a virtual space of musical engagement

In my sustained engagement in understanding the impact of popular songs I have come to realize that popular film music has a long and layered history of engagement that cuts across cultural and ideological contexts. In doing so, it creates a kind of conversation with diverse audience(s) in the society.

Weaving words in a philosophical mosaic

Modern day living has little place for ‘philosophy’, which is often considered a domain of those who view life beyond its daily ordeals. Yet, there is limitless flow of thoughts of the enlightened minds in circulation on social media. Other than for sharing within our social circle, I am not sure if such thoughts stick with us. There is fleeting comfort in reading them, however, but that is about it.

We are trying to create a platform where our readers will find a place to have their say on the subjects ranging from socio-political to culture and society. We do have our own views on politics and society but we expect friends from all shades-from moderate left to moderate right-to join the conversation. However, our only expectation would be that our contributors should have an abiding faith in the Constitution and in its basic tenets like freedom of speech, secularism and equality. We hope that this platform will continue to evolve and will help us understand the challenges of our fast changing times better and our role in these times.
