"Woh Shaam Kuchh Ajeeb Thi” from the 1969 film Khamoshi is one of Kishore Kumar’s most soulful and iconic songs, with music by Hemant Kumar and lyrics by Gulzar. Listening to this song on vinyl is a deeply soulful experience. The ambient colourful lighting around me enhances the feel of the evening for which the song was composed and filmed — a scene set on a boat floating on the Hooghly river in Kolkata Music director Hemant Kumar composed the song in Raga Yaman, which lends it a sense of longing and gentle melancholy. At the time, Kishore Kumar was transitioning from acting to full-time playback singing and was still largely associated with lighter, energetic numbers. This song was an important early marker that established him as a singer equally capable of rendering raga-based, serious, and emotionally layered songs. #VinylTalkies #KishoreKumare #IndianVinyls

Unhygenic America - Toilet Paper Is Not Washing America spends billions on personal hygiene, perfumes, deodorants and bathroom products. Yet one of its most basic hygiene habits deserves serious scrutiny. According to YouGov, 87% of Americans use toilet paper every time they defecate. And here is the uncomfortable scientific finding. A review published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology cites an estimate that the average pair of adult underwear contains faecal matter. Yes, faecal matter. In underwear. Think about the contradiction. After defecation, millions consider rubbing the area with dry paper sufficient. If someone smeared faeces on your arm, would you simply wipe it with tissue and declare yourself clean? The issue isn't America's access to sanitation. It's the hygiene standard Americans have normalised. Modern plumbing, expensive bathrooms and sophisticated toilets mean little if the cleaning method itself remains inadequate.

The scars on Captain Smit Machchaar, the Hindu DubaiAir pilot are representative of a larger civilizational metaphor. - They represent the valiant victory of the Hindu rulers Bappa Rawal and Nagabhatta in Sindh against the Umayyad Caliphates as Charles Martel was defeating the same Umayyads in France. - They represent the heroic resistance of Prithviraj Chauhan against the Ghorid Islamists as Spain was fighting its Reconquista against the Muslim Al-mohad forces. - They represent the endless wounds of the Hindu Marathas in the East as the Habsburgs and Poles were breaking the Siege of Vienna in the West. For over 1500 years, Hindu polities in Asia and Christian polities in Europe faced successive waves of Islamic expansion and answered with protracted military and cultural resistance- simultaneously. The worlds of the Hindus and of Europe have been linked by this shared historical experience far longer, and more deeply, than many Euro-centrists or their derivates here, the "heritage Americans" acknowledge. Captain Machchhar’s scars make that older interconnection visible again in the present.

इतिहासकार रामचंद्र गुहा बताते हैं कि गांधी की इस सफलता से कम्युनिस्टों में खीझ क्यों थी. कम्युनिस्ट खुद को ज्यादा प्रगतिशील और वैज्ञानिक मानते थे. लेकिन भारत में गांधी सफल हुए, जबकि कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी लंबे समय तक हाशिए पर रही. देखिए ‘पुस्तकालय’ का नया एपिसोड इंडियन एक्सप्रेस हिंदी के यूट्यूब पर.

Vinyl spinning and the magic of Kishore da continues with “Mere Samne Wali Khidki Mein” fills the room! ✨ What a song is this!!? Did you know the playful “creak-creak” sound in the prelude in this 1968 classic Padosan was created by Pancham using nothing but a plastic comb 🪮+ thin paper 📃? Genius! Singer: Kishore Kumar Lyrics: Rajendra Krishan Music: R.D. Burman Fun fact: A lesser-known, soulful sad version of this song also exists… dropping that soon. Stay connected with #VinylTalkies 🎧

Was Guru Dutt a Marxist? Did you know Pyaasa began as a story called Kashmakash during Guru Dutt’s struggling days in Matunga? Or that the songs emerge naturally from the dialogue without the usual orchestral prelude? What happened between SD Burman and Sahir Ludhianvi after Pyaasa’s success? 2 hours of fascinating stories with songs played on original vinyl record, insights and fresh ways of seeing this masterpiece—with Lata ma’am @latajag. #VinylTalkies

Europeans are getting some enlightenment finally but still a large chunk of left liberal Marxist types are living with a suicidal falsehood
In the 1.300 years of Muslim-Arab slave trade, approximately a million Greek Christians were sold as slaves. Greek girls who were pretty were forced into prostitution after being enslaved to Turks who took all their earnings. Women captives were known to be subjected to sexual abuse. After Chios Massacre (March 30, 1822) where the Muslim Turks slaughtered 42.000 Christian Greeks, 52.000 women and children were sold as slaves in the markets of Smyrna & Constantinople. On September 1, 1821, Samothrace was devastated by the Ottomans through a general massacre, 10.000 men & boys were slaughtered while women & children were sold also in the markets of Constantinople & Smyrna. Only those who converted to Islam survived. On July 14, 1821, 486 Greeks of Cyprus were publicly beheaded because they didn't convert to Islam. On 13-22 September 1922, thousands of women (Greeks and Armenians) were mass raped and slaughtered in Smyrna from the Islamic horde, the Young Turks, who were motivated by racial and religious hatred. Only those who converted to Islam survived. They aimed the Christians of Anatolia and tried to erase our Greek footprint. They failed. On 6-7 of September 1955, during the Constantinople pogroms, Muslim Turks committed rapes againt the Greek community of the City. Hundreds of women expelled and raped. Now there is a minotiry of less than 2.000 Greeks living in the city that their ancestors found, Constantinople. In 1974, the Muslim Turks invaded the island of Cyprus and raped in the name of their god thousands of Greek women from 12 to 71 years old. Even the Church of Cyprus had consented through its tolerance to the amendment of the legislation in 1974, so that the abortions of that period became legal. Women captives were known to be subjected to sexual abuse. Male Muslims were given the right to have sex with female captives (slaves), which was phrased: "those men who guard their genitals, except with their wives and those whom their right hands possess, for then there is no blame" (Quran 23:6), which granted men the right to have sex not only with their wives but also with female captive slaves. Islam is an enemy for every woman. Anyone who willingly supports the Islamic invasion against native Europeans is a traitor to his or her own kind and ancestors. Picture: This is a Greek slave captured by the Muslim Turks during the Ottoman period. The sign writes: "ΡΟΔΟΝ ΕΤΩΝ ΙΗ ΠΩΛΕΙΤΑΙ ΜΝΑΣ Ω" which means: "Rose, eighteen years old for sale, for 800 mnas".

Arun Podwal, late husband of the legendary 1990s Hindi cinema singer, did not live to see the success of his first film album Meera ka Mohan, which made his wife Anuradha Podwal a playback superstar. He had composed for several Marathi films before this Hindi debut. He died at 47 from a massive heart attack a few months before the album’s release. As a great musician, he left one of the 1990s’ most popular albums, a lasting tribute to Hindi cinema music history. #VinylTalkies
