New song Release by D H Malviya

सिने में कंही किसी ओर एक आग सी जल रही है.
जेसे घने अँधेरे में एक चिनगारी सी जल रही है.
आँखों में कंही किसी ओर एक चमक सी बढ़ रही है.
जेसे कड़ी धुप में एक ठंडक सी हो रही है.
मन में एक हलकी उम्मीद सी जग रही है.
जेसे कंही दूर किसी ओर तूफानी हवाएँ सी उठ रही है.
दिल में एक हलचल सी मच रही है.
कोई बात जुबा पे आ के रूक सी रही है.
सिने में कंही किसी ओर एक आग सी जल रही है.
जेसे घने अँधेरे में एक चिनगारी सी जल रही है.
चहरे पे तेरे एक चमक सी दिख रही है.
जेसे हवाओ में एक महक सी उठ रही है.
कानो में एक हलकी सी आवाज़ गूंज रही है.
जेसे राहे मंजिल तक ठहरती सी दिख रही है.
कदमो में एक पहल सी हो रही है.
जेसे थोडी दूर कंही एक धुंधली तस्वीर बनती सी दिख रही है.
सिने में कंही किसी ओर एक आग सी जल रही है.
जेसे घने अँधेरे में एक चिनगारी सी जल रही है.
जिंदगी अब एक गाडी सी लग रही है.
जो मंजील तक पहोंचती हुई सी लग रही है.

“Welcome To Sajjanpur” is enormously high on simplicity.

Film: “Welcome to Sajjanpur”; Cast: Shreyas Talpade, Amrita Rao, Ravi Kishan, Rajeshwari Sachdeva, Ravi Jhankal, Ila Arun, Divya Dutta, Yashpal Sharma; Director: Shyam Benegal; Rating: *** ½
Welcome to Shyam Benegal’s world of enchanting social comment. Every character in this village of the damned, the doomed and remarkably redeemed is a stereotype. And yet, miraculously, every character is an individual, eccentric, quirky, blemished and yet so full of vitality vigour and energy that you wonder which came first…life, or life as seen through the eyes of Benegal’s camera of innocence, candour and credibility.
This isn’t Benegal’s first broadly-designed, warmly-panoramic ensemble film. Earlier, the prolific director excelled in depicting the life of a specific community in “Mandi” and “Suraj Ka Satwan Ghoda” as a microcosm of a larger reality.
“Welcome To Sajjanpur” is enormously high on simplicity. To be simple in cinema is the most difficult thing in the world - especially when you attempt a film that subsumes an entire ethos of socio-political and cultural ideas on a rural society in tricky, torrential transition from blind faith to globalisation.

Drona is my Biggest Film: Abhishek Bachchan

Sounds surprising though, for someone whose career is almost a decade old. But Abhishek Bachchan who has worked in a lot of big movies, claims that Drona is his biggest film so far.
“It’s my biggest and best film so far,” says Abhishek with confidence. “I don’t speak like this, do I? But DRONA is different. It’s the most expensive film I am associated with. Besides, Goldie (Behl; the director) has executed the subject remarkably,” he states.
“Goldie was disheartened after his debut film failed. Later, he diversified into television; he wanted to make his company secure before he announced his next film,” Abhishek reminisces. “If at all DRONA works — and I hope it does — Goldie should get the credit for it. He has worked very, very hard. I am sure, the Indian audiences haven’t seen an adventure film like DRONA before,” he says confidently.
We hope so too… All the best Aby Baby.

Naomi Campbell gets the Moss Chop.........

Naomi Campbell Gets The Moss Chop…

Naomi Campbell joined the likes Dita Von Teese, Monica Bellucci and Matthew McConaughey when we spotted her arriving at the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in Milan yesterday. The supermodel, who is rumoured to have just signed a £1million deal to front D&G’s worldwide advertising campaign, was sporting a new do, which looked remarkably similar to Kate Moss’s recent chop, or the scraggly bob as we’d like to call it.

The Golden Age Of Greece

The Golden Age of Greece
The Classical Period or Golden age of Greece, from around 500 to 300 BC, has given us the great monuments, art, philosophy, architecture and literature which are the building blocks of our own civilization.

The two most well known city-states during this period were the rivals: Athens and Sparta. It was the strengths of these two societies that brought the ancient world to its heights in art, culture and with the defeat of the Persians, warfare. It was the same two Greek states whose thirst for more power and territory, and whose jealousy brought about the Peloponesian wars which lasted 30 years and left both Athens and Sparta mere shadows of their former selves.
The seeds of the classical period were sown in the 8th century with the commiting of Homer to writing which in a way created a code of conduct and an ethnic identity for the Greeks. The heroic exploits of Odysseus, Achilles and the other Achaeans served as role models for the Greeks which told them how to behave, (and in some cases,how not to behave) in many situations, particularly on the field of battle and in competition. Just as important in the creating of a Greek identity was the emergence of the Olympic games and the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi both of which had their roots in the 8th century.
The Spartans
The Spartans who were founded by Lycurgus around 800 BC were known for their militaristic society. These Spartans, known as the Lacedemonians controlled the Peloponessos. The Spartans had no always lived in such a society. Earlier in their history they had produced art, poetry and music and seemed to be on the same course as the rest of Greek civilization which might have led them to give us some of the famous names that have been passed down through history. But from the late 8th Century Sparta fought a war with their neighbors in Messinia to the west and unlike other wars in ancient Greece where an invading army fought, won, worked out a treaty and left (to fight again someday), the Spartans subjugated the entire population of Messinia, reducing them to slaves or helots. These helots were no more than serfs and worked the land for the Spartans. Because the helots vastly outnumbered them, the Spartans had to create a society that would protect them not just from external enemies but from a revolt from within. Men lived in barracks and male children were taken from their mothers at a young age to learn how to serve the state, meaning the art of warfare. Unhealthy children were killed or left to die. Life had one purpose. To defend the state.
The Spartan Constitution was credited to Lycurgus who in his travels had studied governments in Crete and Ionia, had read the epics of Homer which strongly influenced his ideas on how a nation should be run. Lycurgus travels to Delphi for guidance. Told by the Oracle that his laws would make Sparta famous, he returns to convince first his influential friends and eventually all the Spartans that his reforms will bring power and glory to Sparta. The system of government he created included two Kings, five ephors (executives), a council of thirty elders and a general assembly which was made up of all male citizens. Full citizenship was reserved for the elite, known as the Spartiates who spent much of their time training for and fighting in wars, while their helots worked the land to provide food for the communal mess halls known as syssitia. This is where the Spartiates ate their meals and each was expected to contribute a certain quota of produce every month. Those who could not keep up with their commitment were kicked out and became part of the inferior classes. Children served and then listened to the men discuss state affairs and other topics, as part of their education. Girls were required to exercise and be strong so that they would give birth to strong men. They were also required to dance naked in front of the men to teach them bravery and to be too ashamed to let themselves get fat. The boys learned to read and write but their primary educational goal was to learn to be brave and strong.
Maybe the most frightening of the Spartan institutions were the Crypteia, where young boys were sent to the countryside to live off the land similar to 'Outward Bound' except for a critical difference. These boys were permitted to kill any helot they ran into. This pretty much kept the helots at home.
The Spartans not only feared their own subjugated population but they also feared ideas (like democracy for instance) entering and polluting their system. They would occasionally expell all foreigners and they discouraged commerce and trade by banning ownership of silver and gold, instead using heavy iron coins which were then dipped in vinegear to make brittle. This eliminated the import of luxury items, robbery, bribary, prostitution, jewelry and the amassing of property and resulted in a society where it was impossible to get richer than your neighbor, creating equality, among the Spartan elite anyway.
Though it is easy to get the impression that the Spartans were a society of militaristic robots this is not the case. The Spartans were known for their wit and their ability to say a lot without wasting words. Because the helots did all the work the Spartans had plenty of time for leisure and it is a myth that they spent every free moment in training. Nonetheless much of their time was spent in training in the art of war and discipline and their soldiers were feared by all their enemies and even some of their 'friends'. Marching into battle to the sound of flutes and inspirational music the Spartans seemed to be completely comfortable and at ease which of course made their adversary uncomfortable and uneasy. They used mercy as a tactic as well. The Spartans would not pursue and slaughter a retreating enemy, considering such behavior disgraceful and not befitting a true warrior. This gave their adversaries the option of not fighting to the death but turning around and running and living to fight another day. It was a policy of Lycurgus not to fight too many wars with the same opponent since that gives him a chance to learn your style and strategies and defeat you.
In his final act as leader Lycurgus informed the Spartans that there was one thing more that had to be done and that he needed to go to Delphi to ask the Oracle how best to implement this final piece of the puzzle. He made the Kings and the people of Sparta take an oath that they would not change any of his laws until he returned. He left the city and disappeared forever.

Greece's History

The most ancient primitive Greeks somewhere between 10000 and 3000 BC were known as the Pelasgians. They inhabited areas of Thrace, Argos, Crete, and Halkidiki and are known to us through the writings of Homer, Herodotus, and Thucydides.






The remnants of the Pelasgasian civilization are found mostly in the form of scattered stones which were used as tools and the foundations of dwellings which just look like a bunch of rocks to anyone but those with a trained eye. In the Argolis, in the Frankthi Cave there are excavations which show that these early inhabitants were already trading with their ancient Greek cousins on the islands. Other Neolithic settlements in Central Greece, notably Sesklo and Dimini are evidence that their inhabitants from the fourth millenia BC already had a complex society with walls protecting the towns and a central building which suggests a leader of some sort. The Photo is an early Cycladic figure found on the island of Sifnos from the National Museum of Athens. We know very little about the culture that produced these marble figurines between 2800 and 2300 BC.
In Crete people from Anatolia came to the island sometime around 6500 BC and settled in the area around Knossos. These people were mostly farmers and lived in small communities. This changed in about 2400 to 1500 BC when the Minoan civilization, named for the legendary King Minos flourished. Life in Bronze Age Crete revolved around a series of palaces, scattered around the island whose design and complexity is unlike anything that preceded it in Greece. All of the Cretan palaces share a similar design with the largest one in Knossos, which had been discovered by Sir Arthur Evans, an amateur archaeologist, in the nineteenth century. Palaces are also in Malia, Palekastro, Phaestos and Zakro, and numerous other places on the island. These palaces were the part of a system which included a number of sanctuaries in caves, on the mountains and in houses. Though little is known about the belief system of this ancient religion, (since no sacred texts have been discovered, so far) from the figurines and shrines it can be assumed that the Cretans, if they did not worship nature and human beauty, held it in a very high regard. The legend of the minotaur, the half-man, half-bull off-spring of Pasiphae, the wife of King Minos and a bull, and other archaeological finds seem to confirm the worship of the bull as some sort of divine being or symbol. It has also been suggested that this could refer to the constellation of Taurus and perhaps the commemoration of some event that occured. It is also interesting that Zeus, the king of the Gods, is said to have arrived in Greece from Crete.
The Palaces themselves were also the centers for economic production with storehouses for grain, wool, oil, and international trade. From artifacts found in excavations we know that the Minoans had contact with some of the other ancient civilizations like the Summarians and the Egyptians. The fact that the palaces were unfortified shows a confidence in their naval power as their defense against aggression.
The island of Santorini, or Thira, was one of Crete's primary outposts. Much of this civilization we know from the ruins of Akrotiri as well as the ruined palaces in Knossos and around Crete. These were supposedly destroyed by the eruption of the volcano in Santorini at around 1600 BC which created a massive tidal wave. Some believe it was this wave which destroyed the Minoan civilzation, however advances in technology, such as carbon-dating, show that the Minoan civilization did not collapse until around 1450 BC, one hundred and fifty years after the eruption of Thira. So while the calamity may have led to a decline in the fortune of the Minoans (there was certainly plenty of damage and they did lose a trading partner) this was not what destroyed them. According to Plato it was this same wave which wrecked a Greek fleet as it was returning from conquering the Egyptians, which he learned about from Solon. This is all tied in with the theory that Santorini is ancient Atlantis, another story altogether. Besides the large population centers of Crete and Santorini there were smaller independent civilizations on the Aegean islands which were rich in minerals and precious metals.
The problem with understanding the Minoan Civilization is that despite the buildings and artifacts that have been left behind we have no written history or literature of the inhabitants of Crete in the Second Millenium. We can only look at the stones, statues, pottery and painting and try to guess what their society was like and how it came to an end. In short, the Minoan Civilzation is still a mystery and there is a lot more that we don't know then what we do know.
During the same time-period of the Minoans another group, known as the Achaean or Mycenaean Civilization centered in the Argolis of the Peloponessos. During the bronze age between 2100 and 1900 BC this area was invaded by people from the east who introduced an advanced culture to the primitive local people who had been there since Neolithic times. These ancient Hellenes had fortresses as far west as Pylos and as far north as Iolcus in Thessaly. The Mycenaean princes used the Linear B script to keep track of possessions and their enterprises throughout the Mediterranean. The walls to their fortresses were made of stones so large that it was difficult to imagine a mortal man lifting them and were therefore dubbed Cyclopean walls, named after the race of one-eyed giants of Homer's Odyssey. The Myceneans and the Minoans were probably economic competitors in the Mediterranean. Sir Arthur Evans believed that the Minoans had colonized the mainland and the Myceneans were really part of that civilzation. Others believed that the Myceneans were a totally different culture and the artifacts that suggest Minoan influences were actually aquired in trade. In 1952 Michael Ventris, an English architect and classical scholar, deciphered the Linear B tablets found in by Evans in Crete which Evans himself had spent much energy trying to decipher while at the same time insisting they were not Greek but a 'Minoan' language. Ventris discovered that the language actually was Greek which proved that at least the later period of Minoan civilization came from the Myceneans. So instead of the Myceneans being an offshoot of the Minoans, the most likely scenario seems to be that they were contemporaries. If the lack of fortifications around the Minoan cities suggests that their walls were their fleets which ruled the seas, maybe the eruption of Thira which caused great damage to their cities with its tsunami, also destroyed their ships. With the Cretan fleet decimated there was little to keep the Myceneans from invading, occupying and closing out the last period of what we call Minoan Civilization.
It was the Hellenic people from this period who were the Achean heroes of Homer's Illiad and Odyssey. The Illiad is the epic poem about the abduction by Paris, a Trojan prince, of Helen, wife of King Menelaus of Sparta, and the alliance of Greeks, led by King Agememnon who traveled to the city of Troy (Illium) in Asia Minor and fought for 10 years, eventually destroying the city, just to get her back. The Odyssey is the story of King Odysseus of the island of Ithaki, and his journey home. For many years these stories were thought to have been myth but in 1870 Henrich Schliemann found the ruins of the ancient city and evidence of its destruction during the time period that Homer's epic would have taken place. Truth or fiction, the two books are a fascinating window on a very early period of human history. Preserved orally they were committed to writing in the 8th Century and created a sense of identity among the Greeks, connecting them with their heroic past.
The Mycenaean civilization came to an end sometime around 1200 BC and as was taught to us in our history books was followed by the invasion of the Dorians, who though warlike, brought with them a new culture and what came to be known as The Iron Age. Experts now are no longer so sure that this is exactly what happened. What is known from the artifacts found in Myceneae is that they were wealthy culture who loved gold and objects of beauty. What is also known is that there was a city of Troy which guarded the straits of the Dardenelles, the entrance to the Black Sea and as about the time of the epic war described in the Illiad this city was destroyed. It is possible that this ten year war which ended in the defeat of the Trojans, also led to the weakening and destruction of the Myceneans not by invaders but by their own working class. So maybe what we have been calling the Dorian Invasion was an uprising of the peasants and the lower class who saw an opportunity to change the social order. Why not? It has only happened thousands of times since then and will probably happen again many times more.
While the Dorians were invading or uprising, the Pelasgians were leaving for the islands and the coast of Asia Minor where they created new cities like Smyrna, Halicarnassus, Samos, Ephesus and Miletus. These city-states brought to mankind science and philosophy as for the first time people had time to reflect on the nature of themselves and their place in the world. As these city-states prospered through trade, more outposts sprung up from the Black Sea to the Western Mediterranean and gave birth to what is known as the Classical period or Golden age of Greece. But before that great awakening is a period known as the Dark Ages which was probably not as bleak as it seems. Instead of imagining Mordor-like scenes of humans living like wild animals it is more likely that people headed for the hills to escape the dangers in a collapsing society, becoming shepherds and farmers and relying on the extended family instead of the palaces. These clans or households were known as 'oikos' from the word for household in Greek. These clans grew larger and began to develop crafts and trade once again, not just with their neighbors but across the sea. By the 8th century the Greeks are living in cities again, known as polis or city-states. Though autonomous by nature these city-states could come together during a crisis when outsiders threatened the Greeks and it is during these periods that the ancient Greeks emulated the heroes of the Illiad and the Odyssey who were just as ancient to them as the classical Greeks are to us. As nuclear families became clans which became villages, towns and cities the problem that has plagued Greece through the 20th century appeared: lack of quality farm land and natural resources to support the population. So the Greeks began to export the commodity that they had plenty of and which even up to the twentieth century has been their primary export. They exported themselves, creating colonies as far away as what is now Spain in the west and the Ukraine in the East. Concentrating mostly in the Black Sea, North Africa and the Western Mediterranean these colonies were founded in places rich in farm land, fresh water and were always close to the sea. As the colonies grew and developed economically the trade routes between them turned the Mediterranean into highways of ships as the Greeks took to the seas. They have been sailors ever since. Where trade routes intersected more colonies were built most notably in Italy and Sicily which became more wealthy than the mother country.
It was through colonization and trade that the Greeks came into contact with other cultures such as the Phoenician traders who they crossed paths with in Italy and the eastern Mediterranean. The Greeks had pretty much abandoned writing in the dark ages but during this period of growth used the semitic alphabet of the Phoenicians to symbolize the sounds of the Greek language. Other ideas filtered into Greek culture from the colonies and their interaction with the local people including the introduction of Eastern Mythology and religious ideas into the Greek myths, notably in the writings of Hesiod whose Theogony is probably the most important evidence of what the ancient Greeks believed, a sort of family-tree of the Gods written in verse form. (For more info see Richard Caldwell's Translation of Hesiod's Theogony which is probably the best unraveling of the poem). This is known as the orientalizing period and evidence of this can be found in their art. For an interesting theory on the influences from the east on Greek art and culture with thousands of photos comparing Greek-Chinese and other cultures visit the website of Theresa Mitsopoulou.
Another interesting theory concerns the Palestinians or as they are known in the Bible, the Philistines. The theory is that the Philistines were in fact the survivors of the Greek-Dorian conquest of Crete in 1200 BC and that these Minoans fled by sea to the Libyan coast and from there tried to gain a foothold in Egypt and failed and then went on to Canaan where they arrived just about the time that the Israelites moved in as well. Another theory is that they were survivors of the Troy expedition who lost their way home. Neither theory has real base and are only theories actually…but it is interesting as essentially it means that if the Palestininas failed to get what they wanted in Gaza they could always start claiming that Crete was their national homeland! Imagine what a mess that would be. Theory or reality it could explain the affinity the Greeks have for the Palestinans and vice-versa.
