Sunsets and planets

Think about this - The Red Planet (Mars) has a blue sunset, and the Blue Planet (Earth) has a red sunset. Hai na amazing?!

On Hatred and Dislike

Question: Is so and so responsible for this issue? Answer: In a war, it is the cannonball that wrecks havoc. The soldiers who die see the cannonball. But is the cannonball responsible for the deaths?

Think about the people you hate. Then think - what if they are the cannonball?

Aaj ka gyaan

Aaj ka Gyaan: An advisory report is not presenting facts to positions. It is presenting solutions to personalities.

A new favourite Punjabi singer: B Praak

The first song I heard was Mann Bhareya

It remains a favourite song.

But then, I saw Qismat, the Punjabi movie, and one song, out of the blue, suddenly,  brought these words alive:

The Nightingale sings
with full-throated pain.

It is rare to find the voice that brings these words alive. Sukhwinder Singh is one. This is another.

The song is here:

The voice was easy to identify. Unmistakable.

And that, is how I got another favourite Punjabi voice: B Praak

Here are some more by the same guy:
