Funky house * Zaros * Ashley Fernandes https://soundcloud.com/zarosmusic/on-the-rocks-orginal-mix FROM THE WIKIPEDIA: Funky house is a sub-genre of house music that uses funk samples, a funk-inspired bass line or a strong soul influence, combined with drum breaks that draw inspiration from 1970s and 1980s funk records. Like most variants of house, the genre follows a traditional four to the floor house beat, and makes heavy use of synthesizers, samples and soulful vocals, although unlike in more electronically bent Chicago and deep house, presence of acoustic instrumentation is much more common -- FN Land +91-832-240-9490 Cell +91-982-212-2436 f...@goa-india.org\
[Goanet-News] Goanet Reader: Goanet Reader: Exploiting disasters, and the disaster of exploitation (Radharao Gracias)
EXPLOITING DISASTERS, AND THE DISASTER OF EXPLOITATION Radharao F.Gracias graciasradha...@gmail.com India dominated world hockey for about three and a half decades either side of independence. Today, we struggle even to qualify for major tournaments. Teams we used to rout in our glory days are now doing the same thing to us. Some years ago, a group of people -- mostly Indians in Britain -- were discussing the reasons for the decline. After hearing the various opinions, an Englishman who was part of the group disagreeing with them said, Not at all. It is easy to see the reason, behind India's hockey decline. What is that? interjected another member of the group. Oh said the Englishman, you see, when the Indians are awarded a corner, they convert it into a kiosk! He was alluding to the tendency of immigrant Indians to set up kiosks in every conceivable corner of England. Ironically, two centuries earlier Napoleon Bonaparte had called Britain a nation of shopkeepers. But then Napoleon had not heard of the Banias. Right now, all attention is focussed on the catastrophe caused by unsettling weather conditions in the young north Indian state of Uttarakhand. News reports coming from survivors are disturbing. Those who are in need of urgent food and care are being exploited, by cynical local people. A bowl of rice, is sold at Rs600, a chapatti at Rs180 and a litre of water at Rs100 which in the words of Samuel Taylor Coleridge would be a case of water, water everywhere... and not a drop to drink. We have not lost our shopkeeper mentality, even in the worst of human disasters. The situation seems to say, Give Indians a disaster and they will convert it into a kiosk! Compassion, mercy and charity (although not always adhered to) is the basis of every religion. I had learnt in school that the Shankaracharya had travelled all over the country in the ninth century to revive Hinduism and he set up mutts at Dwarka, Puri, Sringeri (I have been there) and Badrinath. The latter along with Kedarnath, is the epicentre of the present disaster. The area is holy and it is mostly pilgrims and local residents who were the victims. I am left wondering how in such a place there could be such complete lack of piety, compassion, charity and mercy, the bulwarks of all religion. Is this all that we see for the Shankaracharya's efforts, all those long years ago? There has been no report of any of the nationalist and patriotic organisation in the rescue efforts at least in the early days. Where exactly are the RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal or the Ram Sene? I suppose this disaster called for their efforts. I would not be surprised, if all these organisations make an appearance now, claiming post facto heroism. We have been witnesses to such dubious heroism by our freedom fighters, many of whom were collaborators with the Portuguese but became freedom fighters after the Portuguese were dislodged. In the bargain it is the genuine freedom fighters who have languished and the frauds prospered. Perhaps, the Hindutuva brigade would have been fully active, if somehow the disaster was linked to the 'Jihadis'! We have witnessed on TV, the untiring efforts of our armed forces in rescuing the victims, under great peril to their own lives. Seeing the self-sacrifices being made by these brave-hearts, we are assured that our defences are in safe hands. Several of the defence personnel have died in the rescue missions but they have continued, undaunted. That is what patriotism, courage and valour is all about. And now, enter Narendra Modi. He rescues fifteen thousand Gujaratis, in forty eight hours! A world record perhaps! And by this dubious claim the man tipped to be the next Prime Minister has demeaned and undone the herculean efforts of our armed forces, under overwhelming odds. There is only one message from Narendra Modi, and that is: before he came on the scene, the armed forces were simply inefficient and incompetent and therefore the fifteen thousand Gujaratis had remained trapped! Is there any other interpretation possible? I was not unhappy when Narendra Modi was anointed the prospective PM by the BJP, here in Goa. The man appeared to be focussed and we certainly do not need another five years, of remote control by the Mambo Italiano. But then, within no time Narendra Modi has shown that Godhra was no aberration. In fact, the Godhra Albatross now hangs heavily around his neck. Consider; a man projected as the next Prime Minister goes in the disaster area and selectively rescues only Gujaratis. Does he not know that in matters of rescue, all that matters is humanity and there are no racial or regional identifications? After Godhra it was massacre the Muslims and protect the Hindus. In Uttrakhand, it is save the Gujaratis, ignore the rest.
