Mucis


Music has always been an important part of Indian life. The range of musical phenomenon in India extends from simple melodies to what is one of the most well- developed "systems" of classical music in the world. There are references to various string and wind instruments, as well as several kinds of drums and cymbals, in the Vedas. Some date the advent of the system of classical Indian music to Amir Khusro. Muslim rulers and noblemen freely extended their patronage to music. In the courts of the Mughal emperors, music is said to have flourished, and the Tansen was one of the jewels of Akbar's court.

The great poet-saints who chose to communicate in the vernacular tongues brought forth a great upheaval in north India and the Bhakti or devotional movements they led gained many adherents. The lyrics of Surdas, Tulsidas, and most particularly Kabir and Mirabai continue to be immensely popular. By the sixteenth century, the division between North Indian (Hindustani) and South Indian (Carnatic) music was also being more sharply delineated. Classical music, both Hindustani and Carnatic, may be either instrumental or vocal.

FASHION (Giorgio Armani)


Giorgio Armani 1934-, Italian fashion designer. He designed menswear at Nino Cerruti (1964-70), then worked freelance until 1975 when, in partnership with Sergio Galeotti, he opened his Milan design house. Armani was soon acclaimed for elegant, relaxed clothes, especially for fluidly tailored, understated suits for men and women, made of luxuriant fabrics in muted colors and often featuring softly lined "unconstructed" jackets. This approach was reflected in his wardrobe for Richard Gere in the film American Gigolo (1980). In the 1980s he became the favorite designer of the "power suit" for both sexes. Armani remains an important fashion designer, and has introduced a series of successful lines, including jeans, fabrics, underwear, fragrances, eyeglasses, housewares, sportswear (opening A/X in 1991), watches, cosmetics, and (in 2005) haute couture.


Bollywood

Indian moviemaking industry that began in Bombay (now Mumbai) in the 1930s and developed into an enormous film empire. Bombay Talkies, launched in 1934 by Himansu Rai, spearheaded the growth of Indian cinema. Throughout the years, several classic genres emerged from Bollywood: the historical epic, notably Mughal-e-azam (1960; "The Great Mughal"); the curry western, such as Sholay (1975; "The Embers"); the courtesan film, such as Pakeezah (1972; "Pure Heart"), which highlights stunning cinematography and sensual dance choreography; and the mythological movie, represented by Jai Santoshi Maa (1975; "Hail Santoshi Maa"). Star actors, rather than the films themselves, have accounted for most box-office success. Standard features of Bollywood films include formulaic story lines, expertly choreographed fight scenes, spectacular song-and-dance routines, emotion-charged melodrama, and larger-than-life heroes. At the beginning of the 21st century, Bollywood produced as many as 1,000 feature films annually, and international audiences began to develop among Asians in the U.K. and the U.S.

(Movies)

A funny thing happened on the way to the movies. The term is attested as a title in a New York publication of 1912, "'Movies' and the Law." But movies hadn't started out with such a slangy name. Instead, at their birth in 1889, celluloid images of motion were dignified with compound words derived from classical Greek elements by their inventor, Thomas Edison. He called his camera a kinetograph, from the Greek words for "motion" and "write," and his projector a kinetoscope, from the words for "motion" and "view." A decade later a competitor patented a similar device with the name biograph, from the Greek for "life" and "write," as in biography.

That should have been that. Edison and his successors were following the usual practice of nineteenth-century inventors who had given us the telegraph (1805), photograph (1839), telephone (1876), and phonograph (1877), not to mention kinetics (1864), kinesiology (1894), and the lithograph (1825), seismograph (1858), kaleidoscope (1817), and periscope (1879). But unlike these others, the movies escaped from the Greek. First they were known by the plain descriptive terms motion pictures or moving pictures. Then somebody began saying movies, and soon everybody was.

Well, not everybody. The producers and exhibitors of motion pictures, anxious to elevate their art, resisted the designation movies, though to little avail. They added sound to their pictures and were rewarded with the name talkies, which disappeared only when all films had sound and were called movies once again. In the 1920s, they established the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences--only to have their annual awards nicknamed with the trademark Oscars.

The cinema has indeed become an art form in the twentieth century. But it is as a mass medium rather than as an elite art that American movies have permeated the whole world with our culture, or at least with glamorous stereotypes of the American way of life.

Woh Sitaara Bhi Mujhe Keh Raha Tha
Jo Mujhe Kabhi Lagata Tha Ajnabi Sa
Mujhe Wohi Lagata Hai Jindagi Sa
Aise Kuchh Tu Mila Tha, Kho Na Jaaye Bas Yeh Dar Sa Laga Tha
Chhoti Chhoti Baaton Mein, Sochu Din Mein Raaton Mein
Jo Chaahu Woh Ho Jaaye Kuchh Aisa Ho Jaaye
Bundon Ki Iss Baarish Mein, Dhundu Main Har Khwaahish Mein
Jo Chaahu Woh Mil Jaaye Kuchh Aisa Ho Jaaye
Har Subah Mujhe Kuchh Aisa Lagata Tha
Khwaab Tha Sahi Jo Hamane Likha Tha
Dekha Toh Abhi Ik Pal Hi Gujara Tha
Par Na Jaane Kyun Kuchh Aisa Laga Tha
Jaise Sadiyaan Ik Pal Mein Saari
Kuchh Hi Baaton Mein Meri Tumhaari
Beeti Kuchh Aise ?? Hamaari
Itani Si Thi Bas Apani Kahaani
Aise Kuchh Tu Mila Tha, Kho Na Jaaye Bas Yeh Dar Sa Laga Tha
Chhoti Chhoti Baaton Mein, Sochu Din Mein Raaton Mein
Jo Chaahu Woh Ho Jaaye Kuchh Aisa Ho Jaaye
Bundon Ki Iss Baarish Mein, Dhundu Main Har Khwaahish Mein
Jo Chaahu Woh Mil Jaaye Kuchh Aisa.... Ho Jaaye
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho......
Kehana Chaahu Main Par Dil Yuun Dhadaka Tha
Jaanemann Kyun Kuchh Aise Darata Tha
Jo Bhi Tha Mera Uss Pal Woh Tera Tha
Jina Chaahe Toh Bas Yahin Lamaha Tha
Aise Kuchh Tu Mila Tha, Kho Na Jaaye Bas Yeh Dar Sa Laga Tha
Chhoti Chhoti Baaton Mein, Sochu Din Mein Raaton Mein
Jo Chaahu Woh Ho Jaaye Kuchh Aisa Ho Jaaye
Bundon Ki Iss Baarish Mein, Dhundu Main Har Khwaahish Mein
Jo Chaahu Woh Mil Jaaye Kuchh Aisa Ho Jaaye
Ha Ha Ha Ha Kuchh Aisa Ho Jaaye
O Ho O Ho Kuchh Aisa Ho Jaaye
Kuchh Aisa Ho Jaaye, Kuchh Aisa Ho Jaaye
