Faith Connections and Bhoom Shankar

Posted on by kaustubh / 0 Comment

Pan Nalin is one of my favorite director and I particularly love the way he films and visualizes vast landscapes and creates a beautiful narrative through a minimalist yet powerful visual design. His recent documentary, Faith Connections, is a testament to that. I’m yet to watch it fully and hope the opportunity comes soon enough but while checking out its trailers on YouTube, came across this lovely song that is used in the film.

Faith Connections is a documentary film on Kumbh Mela, which is considered as world’s one of the most extra ordinary religious events. Kumbh Mela is also known for the Sadhus smoking Ganjaa and this song by One Drop Forward juxtaposed with the visuals of Sadhus smoking a joint celebrates that carefree attitude of this festival.

Though I’ve never tried smoking (forget smoking Ganja), this song is addictive so thought of sharing.

What to write?

Posted on by kaustubh / 1 Comment

To write or not to write is not the burning question but what to write is. Because there is too much to talk about and too many things to react and ponder on. Too many people to be reached and too many to be offended. Yes, offended! Some people have taken offence to my previous writings (rants) and thought I went into silence since I didnt retaliate after a certain point. The thing is, I realized soon that I couldn’t come down to their level of personal mud slinging which they confuse as debates. The silence all this while was only because I was trying to get this new blog up. More rants (which make sense) will follow and more people would be offended. After all, You are not remembered for saying (or doing as Atul Chitnis said) what is expected from you!
