Talking heads album

“If we had 11 fingers, our decimal system would start from there,” Nikhil Rao, Indian Ocean’s guitarist quips quite randomly, as we begin this interview. “Yes, but then we wouldn’t have a decimal system at all, no?” queries bassist Rahul Ram. Their manager has to step in and remind all in the room that this isn’t a video for a YouTube stand-up comedy group, but an interview with a newspaper. The cackling is cut short, but this gives us insight into the thought process of a band which changed the face of Indian music in the ‘90s. In Puducherry for the NH7 Weekender Express music festival, Indian Ocean is still a staple whenever the word indie is mentioned, despite a few turbulent years. Tabla player and vocalist Asheem Chakravarty passed away in 2009, and guitarist Susmit Sen quit in 2013 to focus on his solo work. “‘ Soch mat’ humaara school of thought hai ,” (‘Don’t think’ is our school of thought) Ram says, towards the beginning of their documentary film Leaving Home – the … [Read more...] about Indian Ocean talks about their past and their future

AFP Kyiv, Ukraine   ● Fri, August 19, 2022 2022-08-19 11:20 0 b2587592dd54281f57bdb7dba9144219 2 Europe Ukraine,Volodymir-Zelensky,Recep-Tayyip-Erdogan,nuclear-disaster,Ukraine-war,Russia Free Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Thursday of a nuclear disaster in Ukraine during his first face-to-face talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky since Russia's invasion began, echoing pleas from the UN's chief. A flare-up in fighting around Europe's largest nuclear facility in Russian-controlled southern Ukraine has sparked urgent warnings from world leaders, and UN chief Antonio Guterres cautioned during talks with Erdogan that any damage to the plant would be akin to "suicide". "We are worried. We don't want another Chernobyl," Erdogan said during a press conference in the eastern city of Lviv, during which he also assured the Ukrainian leader that Ankara was a firm ally. "While continuing our efforts to find a solution, we remain on the side of our … [Read more...] about Erdogan warns of ‘another Chernobyl’ after talks in Ukraine

After Sept. 11, 2001, the United States and its allies and partners funneled hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of military equipment to Afghanistan and Iraq. Unfortunately, some of this assistance ended up in enemy hands. This will never happen in Ukraine, not least because Ukraine has already shown something found in neither of those countries—a will to fight for ourselves. The most decisive battle of Russia's war against Ukraine was supposed to be won by Moscow within the span of a work week. In the beginning days of the invasion with Russian forces surrounding Kyiv, there was speculation that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would flee to London to set up a shadow government as various talking heads—and Western government officials—predicted that Russian forces would easily sack the capital. With just a few months of retrospection, it's remarkable to see just how foolish those predictions were. Ukraine won the battle of Kyiv decisively and has valiantly defied … [Read more...] about Top Ukrainian official: Western weapons are in safe hands | Opinion

Yasir Arafat claims that he was born in Jerusalem, but he was actually born in Cairo. He claims to belong to the prominent Jerusalem family of Husseini, but he is at best only distantly related to it. He claims that he turned down a chance to go to the University of Texas, but according to one biographer, the Palestinian-born writer Saïd K. Aburish, it is highly unlikely that he was ever accepted. He claims to have disabled ten Israeli armored personnel carriers in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, but Israel didn't even have ten APCs in the sector he was in. He claims to have made millions as a businessman in Kuwait, but this, too, is almost certainly untrue. Obviously, Arafat is a congenital liar. But there's more to it than that: his lies are all designed to create an aura of romance around himself and the Palestinian people. Arafat is the most bizarre political leader in the world today, in that he has obliterated all considerations of ordinary living and has fused himself completely … [Read more...] about A Brief History of Yasir Arafat

The director-general of the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, accused heads of state on Wednesday of racism for failing to address the ongoing “manmade” humanitarian disaster in his native Ethiopia, saying the Russian invasion of Ukraine is getting more attention due to the skin color of Ethiopians. Ethiopia descended into civil war in November 2020 between the ruling government – led by ethnic Oromo Abiy Ahmed, a Nobel Peace Prize winner – and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), a Marxist former ruling party that Abiy designated a terrorist organization last year. Tedros, an ethnic Tigray, served in multiple roles in TPLF governments before being elected to run the W.H.O., including health minister and foreign minister. As part of that war, the Abiy government has blockaded the northern Tigray region, affecting not only TPLF militia members but the general civilian population of the region. The blockade has resulted in mass starvation and … [Read more...] about W.H.O. Chief Tedros: World Ignoring Ethiopian Civil War Disaster Due to Racism

President Biden is facing an alarming level of doubt from inside his own party, with 64 percent of Democratic voters saying they would prefer a new standard-bearer in the 2024 presidential campaign, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll, as voters nationwide have soured on his leadership, giving him a meager 33 percent job-approval rating. Widespread concerns about the economy and inflation have helped turn the national mood decidedly dark, both on Mr. Biden and the trajectory of the nation. More than three-quarters of registered voters see the United States moving in the wrong direction, a pervasive sense of pessimism that spans every corner of the country, every age range and racial group, cities, suburbs and rural areas, as well as both political parties. Only 13 percent of American voters said the nation was on the right track — the lowest point in Times polling since the depths of the financial crisis more than a decade ago. Voters on the Direction of … [Read more...] about Most Democrats Don’t Want Biden in 2024, New Poll Shows

I wouldn't be telling the truth if I said I expected Rich Strike to win the Kentucky Derby. I hadn't ruled it out because I knew there were a lot of intangibles, but I knew it would have to be the perfect scenario. My true goal was to finish 10th or better and beat half the field. And if Rich Strike finished last, so be it. We took a chance. Rich Strike had won a race at Churchill Downs racetrack in September 2021 and had come third at Keeneland in October. That was when we started thinking we had a really good horse to race; that's when it really all began. Rich Strike, or Richie as I call him, is a "people horse." He loves attention and he loves being petted. My daughter gives him baby carrots; he probably eats a pound or two of those a day, and he's a kind horse. He's so much fun. But we realized he was starting to wake up. Training a Kentucky Derby winner Richie had tons of talent, he'd won a race and tried hard enough, but for some reason he didn't have that "killer … [Read more...] about “I trained Rich Strike—this is how we won the Kentucky Derby’
