Aaaah! I get it now....

When we were growing up, we were told by parents and teachers (especially Sunday schools) alike to stay away from from dark music. How were to know to know what is dark music and what is acceptable. I finally came to the conclusion that all noise from musicians with long hair, loud Gothic non melodious sound emanated from shirtless bands with masks were out of bounds! (a simplistic view of the world). That deprived most of us from the music of great bands (are they really great like?) like AC/DC, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith etcetera, etcetera....
Fast forward 30 years to the future, with the comfort of reclining chair, non-arthritic fingers, the power of keyboard and cyber submarine cables, all the songs that we missed can be listened again and again. Not only that, we can gets its lyrics. Only now can we appreciate its true lyrics. All this while, I thought it was just gibberish and senseless yelling of self proclaimed artistes with croaking and constipation releasing voices!
The following song appeared Satanic to me then with its weird song chant-like Oooh... When you scrutinize its lyrics, it is nothing more than pure lyrics writing mastery at its heights of creativity.


Thanks again to the internet, the alleged backward masking of song (i.e. hidden messages encrypted into songs to psychologically deviate the mind of its listeners to the Dark side). Now, we can hear this back masking and decide for ourselves...like this one..

Gory historic details or gore fest?

Razakar:  The Silent Genocide Of Hyderabad  (Telegu, 2024) Director:  Yata Satyanarayana In her last major speech before her disposition, Sheikh Hasina accused those who opposed her rule in Bangladesh of being Razakars. The opposition took offence to this term and soon widespread mob throughout the land. Of course, it is not that that single incident brought down an elected government but a culmination of joblessness and unjust reservations for a select population group. In the Bengali psyche, Razakar is a pejorative term meaning traitor or Judas. It was first used during the 1971 Pakistan Civil War. The paramilitary group who were against the then-East Pakistani leader, Majibur Rehman, were pro-West Pakistan. After establishing independence in Bangladesh, Razakars were disbanded, and many ran off to Pakistan. Around the time of Indian independence, turmoil brewed in the princely state of Hyderabad, which had been a province deputed by the Mughals from 1794. The rule of N...

The products of a romantic star of the yesteryear!

Now you see all the children of Gemini Ganesan (of four wives, at least) posing gleefully for the camera after coming from different corners of the world to see the ailing father on his deathbed. They seem to found peace with the contributor of their half of their 46 chromosomes. Sure, growing up must have been hell seeing their respective mothers shedding tears, indulgence in unhealthy activities with one of them falling prey to the curse of the black dog, hating the sight of each step sibling, their respective heartaches all because of the evil done by one man who could not put his raging testesterones under check! Perhaps,the flashing lights and his dizzying heights that his career took clouded his judgement. After all, he was only human... Gems of Gemini Ganesan L-R: Dr Revathi Swaminathan, Narayani Ganesan, Dr Kamala Selvaraj, Rekha, Vijaya Chamundeswari   and Dr Jaya Shreedhar.  ( Abs:  Radha Usman Syed, Sathish Kumaar Ganesan) Seeing six of Ge...

Chicken's Invite? (Ajak-ajak ayam)

In the Malay lingo, the phrase 'ajak-ajak ayam' refers to an insincere invitation. Of course, many of us invite for courtesy's sake, but then the invitee may think that the invitation is for real! How does anyone know? Inviters and invitees must be smart enough to take the cue that one party may have gatecrashed with ulterior motives, or the other may not want him to join in the first place! Easily twenty years ago, my family was invited to a toddler's birthday party. As my children were toddlers, too, we were requested to come early so that my kids could run around and play in their big compound. And that the host said she would arrange a series of games for them to enjoy. So there we were in the early evening at a house that resembled very little of one immersed in joy and celebration. Instead, we were greeted by a house devoid of activities and no guests. The host was still out shopping her last-minute list, and her helper was knee-deep in her preparations to ...
