Actually, there is a album by Bob Marley titled "The Legend" - his greatest hits.. bit my legend, my greatest legend is Nitin Sawhney... (www.nitinsawhney.com). This guy is terrific.. unbelievable! What deep words and sounds about migration, violence, development etc. in his music.. his albums (Beyond Skin, Prophesy, Human, Philtre, Spirit Dance, Migration, Displace the Priest, etc.) cannot be ranked, because they are all as great and better than each other at the same time.. but see him life! I saw him twice in London (once in Hackney, the second time I forgot where), and the concerts even beat the albums, as they have an excellent juxtaposition of visuals with sound.. hard to believe.. you oughta see him..!
Here is a sample of his music (a video I found on Youtube).. enjoy!! Music is my world, my refuge, my soul asylum..!
Today, let's talk about weather.. as you might have followed up in the news.. Snow storms have reached New York.. :(
I will keep this post short.. here are some pics:
This is 5th Av (between 13th and 14th) from my office... the yellow cab stands out ;)
Famous Arthur's Tavern, 7th Av/Grove St (JUST where I live, basically in my basement)
So much for now.. if the electricity collapses (and my battery is charged) or gas leaks again (as it was the case in January), I will be promptly come to you ;)
OK, before I start with posts about Society and the World in general... this post is in honor of my nephew Mayur.. isn't he the cutest??
And here you see a video, how he gets along with Shankar, my parents' small kitten (he is actually more than three years old!)...
Update.. sorry, the video was too large... I will sort out how to compress it and post it here! SItting on our dining table (this would have been impossible a couple of years ago, when the "you will never get pets from us" prevailed at our home --> so we had to get them on our own! ;-) )
here's a pic of SHankar with my mother, when he received free Hindi Lessons with Barbara!!
