Mayuri Dance Group Performing “Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu” Near the Manhattan Side of the Staten Island Ferry

I could have gone to this really easily, but I missed it. Mayuri Dance Group, you have commented on this blog before. Why didn’t you tell me? Oh, well.

Laal, “Vo Jang”

This is an excellent new video from the political Pakistani rock band Laal. And my favorite moment occurs right before the four-minute point.

Found at Desi Oldies: From A through Z: Hindi-Urdu Singers of British India

As some readers out there know, I have joined Facebook during the past couple of weeks (having been nudged by a good friend after resisting for quite some time), and I am now subscribed to Desi Oldies. And at Desi Oldies, I have just discovered a list of the kind that I have wanted to see for some time, From A through Z: Hindi-Urdu Singers of British India. By the way, readers will notice at the top of the page that this is still “*A WORK IN PROGRESS*.” Could there possibly be more to come? Looking at the list as it is, I think it will give me plenty to work with for a while.

Look, It’s The Return of the Benjamin Sisters!

Happy Birthday, Meena Kumari, and Happy Raksha Bandhan!

August 1 and August 2, respectively.
