टीवी पर और सोशल मीडिया पर हम लगातार देख रहे हैं। मैं इंस्टाग्राम भी चला रहूं, तो वहीं चीजें आ रही हैं। कैसी ग़लत-ग़लत चीजें हो रही हैं। कुछ चीजें हैं, जो हम लोगों ने भी एक्सपीरियंस किया है, लेकिन अब जो चीज पसंद है, वो करेंगे। जो नहीं पसंद है, वो नहीं करेंगे। मुझे उम्मीद है कि बतौर एक इंडीपेंड्स आर्टिस्ट आप हमें सपोर्ट करते रहेंगे।” मैथिली ने 16 जून को एक वीडियो अपलोड करके इस बारे में जानकारी।

[lokisprettygirl]

hey! so I had this dream and you're the only person I know who can turn this into a beautiful fic. An Indian style wedding with Loki. Maybe include the avengers as guest. Also him being confused with the traditions. And.... clad in an emerald green sherwani. The reader is in a green wedding dress too! ALSO I LOVE YOUR FICS! YOU ARE AN AMAZING! 😭💚

First of all thank you so much dear for enjoying my writing and for the compliment 💚❤️I combined these two requests ❤️💚 I wasn't able to add everything because it would be 10k long fic if I tried to sum up an indian wedding 😂

Loki x Indian Reader wedding

You were getting married to the love of your life. Your wedding with loki was all set to take place tomorrow, when you asked for a traditional Indian style wedding as that's what your parents wanted, and you couldn't deny them, they were already being so gracious as they 'permitted' you to marry a white alien man. Their words not yours and loki was so damn confused, he already dreaded meeting your strict stereotypical Indian parents but when he finally did, he charmed his way in pretty quickly.

Who wouldn't adore that sunshiny ray of light, your parents were no different. You couldn't wait to be his wifey and you couldn't wait to call him your husband.

"Omgg jeeju and his friends are here" you heard your cousin and you blushed, it was your haldi ceremony today and since loki didn't have any idea about any of the hindu traditions , you decided that it would be best if you both did all the rituals together. You were dressed up in a yellow saree with your flower jewellery, all ready to get glowed up "I can't believe you're marrying an avenger" your cousin neetu said excitedly "I can't believe she's marrying a prince" your best friend chimed in. They all giggled and blushed as loki entered the venue, he had Clint, tony, Bruce, steve and Bucky with him, his best friends and ofcourse his brother Thor they all dressed up in white kurta pyjamas

As he sat down next to you, you couldn't stop staring at how angelic he looked, those green eyes and raven curly hair contrasted perfectly with his white kurta "Hey beautiful" he whispered and before you could say anything he was hoarded by your friends and cousins as they clicked pictures and chatted his ear off with randomness. His friends were just so confused but amused, your aunties dragged them to the dance floor and made them move on bollywood songs. Tony stark can dance that's for sure.

"So I'm gonna get that all over me?" He giggled as he stared at the bowl of yellow turmeric paste "Yes it's supposed to make you all glowy and brings good luck" you pecked his cheeks quickly, and then looked around hoping nobody saw that, he blushed as you did. You looked so beautiful and he wanted to kiss you but he couldn't. Your parents would frown upon it.

"Then I should have you all over me because you make me all glowy my darling love" you blushed as you heard him and looked down "Love that look on your face princess, can't wait for our wedding night, I read it's a ritual in itself? What do you guys call it? 'Suhaag raat right?" You glared at him as he flirted shamelessly with you "shussshhh you'll be thrown out if they hear you" you warned him and he giggled in response. He's your everything.

By the end of the ceremony you both were covered in yellow all around, your cousins had so much fun getting their hands all over him, he looked so cute like that and you couldn't have been happier. In the evening when Sangeet ceremony started, your family had a whole choreography to perform which was expected from a typical Indian family but what you didn't expect was Loki to do a dance performance on "Saajan ji ghar aaye" with his friends, who suggested him that? You had no idea but he danced perfectly and somehow he was able to lip sync too, he dragged you into his performance and ofcourse being a Desi girl you didn't need a choreography to match steps with your soon to be husband.

Next day when your wedding finally arrived you felt so nervous, you wanted everything perfect, even though you always thought your wedding lehenga would be bright red you decided to choose green lehenga, since loki was wearing green sherwani you wanted to surprise him and match with him, once you got completely dolled up, you heard your cousin yelling that the groom was here and your heart raced in your chest, you're going to get married and you're going to become his forever.

When your cousins left to see the groom you heard a knock on the door and you thought must be someone from your family but it was loki. You can't see him, it's bad luck, it must be a superstition but you didn't want to jinx it, you walked towards the door and you stood right next to it, with your back on the door "baby I can't see you, it's bad luck" you told him and he chuckled "I know I read about that, just wanted to hear from you princess, you must be nervous" truth to be told, he was way out of his element and he was nervous too, all those people out there, not leaving him to breathe, grabbing him for pictures or making him do another one of the countless rituals, he was scared and lost without you, and he knew hearing from you would help him, he was doing this all for you. He would do anything for you

"I was baby, but I'm all better now, thank you for coming, are you okay sweet love? Just few more hours and we will be all done I promise" you whispered softly and he smiled, that's all he needed to hear "I know princess, I just needed to hear from you darling, I love you so much" he mumbled softly "I love you" you responded, you wanted to hug him but you couldn't, just few more hours, you consoled him and yourself most of all, then he was gone, groom can't go missing for long afterall.

He thought you were adorning red for the night but when he saw you in that green lehenga he couldn't stop himself from tearing up, as you entered the stage for jaimala he smiled as he looked at you, you're the prettiest woman he had ever laid his eyes on, not just your outer beauty but you had the prettiest heart too, you accepted him without judgement, you loved him unconditionally and he wanted to give you every little thing you'd ever want from him. You couldn't stop staring at him either, he was undoubtedly the most beautiful man to ever exist and he was about to be all yours forever.

When the wedding rituals finally started he was so lost, with every mantra and every chant he got more and more confused, but he did everything he was asked to do by the pandit (priest), he did enjoy the saat pheras though, giggled his way through it, his smile and laugh so infectious, everyone just adored him in the moment, he was so relieved when after 5 hours the wedding rituals finally got completed, then came the worst part 'the vidai' or the going away ceremony, now you have always lived away from your parents but there's something about getting married to someone that makes you feel like you're leaving your parent's house forever and the thought made you cry.

When he finally took you away and got a moment alone with you he hugged you so tightly and consoled you "I'm so in love with you princess, I'm always going to, I'd never allow you to feel sad or lonely ever again, even if you do I won't let it last for long" he whispered and you hugged him tightly "I love you too loki and this is the best day of my life, long and exhausting but definitely the best day, I promise to be yours and be by your side forever my sweet sweet boy" you giggled and he kissed you softly as he heard you.

"Wifey" he smiled as he picked you up

"Hubby" yeah you are the luckiest woman ever.

"Now time for that Suhaag raat"

He winked mischievously and you were in for a long night or a day.

MUSIC TASTES AND GUILTY PLEASURE SONGS bros + undateables

Lucifer

Jazz, classical music, if he has to choose a modern artist then aurora or Videoclub, he vibes with French music a lot of the time. He also likes Piano and violin covers of more popular songs but cannot stand the originals. Satan and belphie are aware of this and take full advantage, much to his chagrin.

Guilty pleasure: mamamoo, hwasa specifically radiates Lucifer energy and I can 100 percent see him vibing with it. Levi swears he once saw him at a concert but would never say so, he gets a death glare from Lucifer every time he brings up mamamoo in conversation so he knows he saw correct but also he *doesn't want to die*.

Mammon

90s hip hop jams, queen, classic rock, overall has pretty good taste in music, adores abba

Guilty pleasure: he cries at the shrek soundtrack and he doesn't know why. Just straight up starts bawling to all star. Also romantic songs get him crying. He just can't. He has a playlist named 'MC' that's full of romantic songs he wants to dance with them to, but any time any of the songs plays he starts crying.

Levi

K-pop and jpop, he stans Loona. Listens to a mix of male, female and mixed groups and artists. surprisingly enough he goes to the most concerts out of all of the brothers, even beating Asmo out (since he tends to go clubbing instead). It's the only time he voluntarilly goes into such an enviroment. When he goes to a concert he doesn't mess about, VIP tickets and gets the best merch. He loves anime themes, also see him liking anything 'niche' so is a bit of a hipster and a massive music snob. Likes things like horrible histories songs and asap science elements song where he can study without studying if ya get me. Deffo can name every Pokémon. Pfft you like the original poke rap? Catch this boi listening to BDG's better pokerap and reciting every word, also rocks out to Richie Branson.

Guilty pleasure: Ariana Grande but hates that he likes it cos it's 'normie music'

Satan

Studio Ghibli soundtracks, heavy metal, baby queen, MCR, AKMU, Triple H, Gang of Youths, Paramore, good taste but very varied so his playlists are always jumping between genres.

Guilty pleasure: the front bottoms, esp. the song 'father' for obvious reasons, also likes Videoclub but knows that Lucifer also likes it so adamantly denies he likes it. Catch him alone in the library jamming out to 'En nuit' tho I dare ya

Asmo

Techno and clubbing music, as well as anything on a girls night playlist, you kno he knows all the words and has definitely sung every song while crying at 3am on a karaoke machine, also the Orion experience and anything normally played at a pride parade or rave

Guilty pleasure: babymetal. He knows it's not the vibe he gives off but he finds them adorable, deffo attends every concert but will deny it. Levi saw him at one once and it was the Spiderman meme. He swore him to secrecy.

Beel

Happy upbeat music he can work out to, modern pop works but really anything with a rhythm. Likes African drums because of this, can play the djembe drum. Probably attends a Zumba class and makes all the fellow demons drool, from his abs and the fact hes eating a 30 course meal while he does it

Guilty pleasure: Shakira? I'm gonna say Shakira. Beels hips don't lie but catch him dancing and he'll get embarrased.

Belphie

Green Day and anything anti-authority, MCR, bmth, he is vibing to emo bops and you know it.

Guilty pleasure: country esp. dolly parton cos he's a cow boi.

Diavolo

He loves country music and because of this he plays it on repeat in the castle and Lucifer cannot stand it. If only belphie knew his guilty pleasure songs would drive Lucifer insane, he would play them full blast every day just to piss him off. Yeah maybe it's good he doesn't know.

Guilty pleasure: Explicit rap music. He know it's not good for his royal image to swear but man, he loves it so much. Got a sweet spot for Nicki Minaj but only Barbs knows about it.

Barbatos

I can really see him liking Bollywood dance and music for some reason? I feel like his favourite instrument is the sitar. He definitely watches Bollywood dramas in his offtime and gets very invested. Will do the same with Kdramas, Jdramas, Mdramas, a secret drama hoe. Only a dramatic bish would !!!SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 20!!! ((get the bros watch MC die only to turn around and be like 'well actually' he loves drama he's just *subtle* about it))!!!SPOILERS END!!!

Guilty pleasure: Nicky Minaj, who do you think introduced Dia to her huh? Also weak to kidzbop but don't you dare call him out on it. It's one of the reasons he and Luke get along so well. They vibe to kidzbop while they bake.

Simeon

Hymns I don't know what to tell ya, but also MUSICALS, Boi is a massive musical nerd and knows all the words. Luke once make the mistake of bringing up Hamilton and had to sit through him singing the entire soundtrack. It was good, don't get me wrong, but he was trying to do his human history class hw..

Guilty pleasure: lil naz x and Beyonce, but he blushed bright red the WHOLE TIME and prays for forgiveness after. Has definitely danced drunk to single ladies tho. Probably with mammon or Asmo.

Solomon

SALSA MUSIC this man can DANCE and dance he shall. Bachata all the way. But also shamelessly loves Nickelback. I'm sorry. I know. I can see him liking fall out boy, and purposely playing songs that reference angels and demons to get a rise out of them. He is the one that showed Simeon Lil Naz X.

Guilty pleasure: the spice girls. When Asmo found out they both had a mini concert in his room.

Luke

Kidzbop and hymns, but mostly kidzbop. He also likes studio Ghibli music, he listens to it while cooking, but he hates that satan likes it because *demon prejudice*.

Guilty pleasure: Avril Lavigne, more specifically girlfriend and skaterboi. Also likes Ariana Grande and Cardi B but has only heard their kidzbop versions and not the originals.

[shawnsmusical]

Nah zayn hasn’t been putting out proper music that showcases his vocals. We know he can hit notes. I still to this day replay the acoustic version to hear the hightnotee for dusk till dawn at the end. He’s covered Bollywood songs that really show his range. You can say you like shawn more but to deny zayn’s vocal??

I get that he has anxiety but at least record a live performance once in a while

The Differences Between Musical Genres

Overview of all songs within the style Digital, Including associated genres. Half heady avant-garde improv, half properly-thought-about Molotov cocktail, all methods disorienting, Throbbing Gristle's debut steamrolled a new path for underground noiseniks by eschewing many of the formal rules of rock music — drums, guitars, melody and, on Aspect B, pulse completely —going instantly for the primal appeal of distortion. "Industrial Music for Industrial Folks" learn the tagline for the band's own Industrial Information, spawning a genre fueled on grinding, mechanical terror and offered influence for everyone from Nine Inch Nails to Aphex Twin. Built on disturbing samples, disturbing digital textures, and disturbing reside recordings, Second Annual Report employed the LP as a medium of moveable transgression. In a yr through which pop music—from Robyn to Ariana Grande—was making a robust assertion, singer Héloïse Letissier, who performs as Christine and the Queens, arrived from France to continue the conversation about gender and identification on Chris. On Doesn't Matter"—over daring poppy '80s drums and glowing synth—Héloïse bravely addresses the pressures of the masculine gaze, suicidal ideas, and the nature of relationships and faith. It's a heavy and essential conversation to be having—especially in a song crammed with as much buoyant French enjoyable as this one. I don't understand how individuals in India have the guts to even name Bollywood a music business. I mean, critically? A expertise-much less bunch saying "Your eyes, your face, our love, our marriage" again and again in each track. And a few random-ass "rapper" who occasionally chips in to "rap", which all the time consists of "Get on the floor, yeah, groove it, yeah, yo, yo, transfer it". 99.9% of the songs are like that. Plus, no production quality at all. Every thing borrowed from different worldwide music. Bollywood is just industrial marketing noise which is bought off as music to a billion individuals with no style and no clue as to what actual music is.

Although he's been useless for over one hundred ten years allready, essentially the most celebrated person from the city of Bergen, nonetheless, is EDVARD GRIEG. As classical music has been canonised for much longer than different musical genres and has earned its place even as an academic topic its unlikely for this artist to fall into obscurity through the many generations from the height of his profession. His most recognisable compositions are in all probability the incidental music for Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt, whereas the ‘Within the Hall of the Mountain King' is included. Nation, people, pop, rock Linda has covered it all in her forty-plus-year profession, however no matter which style you associate her with, her success on the nation music charts is undeniable. Linda has 14 platinum albums to her name, including 4 that climbed to the highest of Billboard's Country chart, in addition to 13 Grammys and two ACMs. And who could neglect when she teamed up with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris to create the tremendous-est of feminine tremendous groups and release 1987's Trio. The iTunes Store has lots of methods that can assist you discover music you will love. High charts. New music recommendations based mostly in your past purchases. Trending Searches to help you slim down which artist, album, or genre is hot.3 And Siri works with Shazam, the amazing app that identifies the tune that's enjoying.4 As soon as you hear a tune you want, just ask Siri What tune is this?" to find out the artist, track, album, and extra. You can purchase the music immediately from the iTunes Retailer. Or Siri can add it to your Want Checklist so you can buy it later. For many of us, our taste in music is an integral a part of our identification - so much so that, to a sure extent, what we hearken to is who we're. The songs of our youth, heard a thousand instances, fill our headspace with stray lyrics and infectious grooves, creating a filter for the way in which we see, hear, and perceive the world from then on out. And while some have a much less aware, elanateal229.hatenadiary.com more organic strategy, others actively draw boundaries between the music they settle for and the music they deny - and by extension, the people related to these musical cultures, as effectively.

Metallic is a great style of music. It is incredibly numerous, from heavy steel, to hurry and thrash metallic, and even to pirate steel, just like the band Alestorm, and there are even humor steel bands. Metal bands sing about demise, ache, sometimes love, life, peoples personalities, it tells stories, and many different issues. The music itself is diverse. There are songs that begin off slow and http://www.audio-transcoder.com progress to actually quick solos, there are metal songs which are fast all throughout the music, and there are gradual songs. All in all, metal is a great style of music resulting from its great range.

Though each house and techno music were merchandise of city African-American culture, these kinds would get pleasure from a lot of their recognition by the late Eighties within the U.K. and Germany. In the U.K., parties could be held in large open fields out in the countryside. The brand new drug ecstasy turned a popular ingredient to the house and techno events of this era, along with different psychedelic drugs like LSD. These events acquired the title raves and shortly turned famous all through the world for their wild, Dionysian, utopian vibes.

In answering your title question, I agree with the other reply right here (from Tetsujin): genres exist because classification Is What We Do and our brains our wired for using heuristics (see, for example, the writings of Herbert Simon ). That's, labeling something by genre provides a sense of its innate structure and the "rules" by which it performs - or, perhaps extra apparently, the principles it performs round with. (This is why (I personally believe) there is vital argument around whether or not artists fit into sure genres. It seems to be significantly endemic to some steel sub-genres, where there's even a time period for 'trueness to the style': kvlt) Extra merely - or extra individually - the label of genre is among the shortcuts that helps me resolve whether or not or not I may prefer it.

[thisaintascenereviews]

Artist Spotlight, Episode I: Anik Khan I don’t know what it’s like for other people, but sometimes when I get into a new band or artist, I don’t just listen to one album, I try to dive into a bunch of their projects, so I can get a full idea of who this band or artist is. In the past, I’ve reviewed each album from said band or artist and that can take awhile, especially if I don’t have a lot to say, or there’s a lot of history with them, so I thought I’d bypass that a bit by starting a series where I just talk about an artist or band I like, especially if I’ve been listening to multiple projects of theirs. Instead of reviewing each one, I’ll just talk about them as a whole, and talk about why I enjoy the band or artist in question, ultimately recommending them. These aren’t going to be standard reviews, so don’t expect the same ideas and tone; it’s more or less a casual and conversational look into an artist I’ve been listening to, or one that’s very deserving of your time, but I don’t want to review all of their work at once. I could easily do that, but I’d rather not. These also won’t be extremely comprehensive pieces, either, I don’t plan on diving deep into these artists, or really exploring their history, but I just want to talk about them as a whole, as well as the albums I heard, briefly talking about them as well.

For the first episode of this series, I wanted to talk about a very underrated artist that I found pretty recently -- Anik Khan. He’s a criminally underrated rapper and singer from Queens, New York, and I bring that fact up, because he wants you to know that. For good reason, too -- Born in 1989, Khan is an immigrant, and his family came to the US from Bangladesh in 1993, just when he was five years old. Most of his life, he’s been here, but he’s only just recently gotten his citizenship, and that’s a big part of his most recent projects, including the double EP, Approved and Denied. Being a Bengali immigrant shapes a lot of his music, and one thing I really love about Khan’s music is that he brings his South Asian culture into it. He covered a Bollywood song very recently on a single that came out in May, but he features a lot of language, imagery, and instrumentation that you’d find in his culture. On his debut LP, 2017′s Kites, songs like “Habibi,” “Mango Nectar,” “Cleopatra,” “Tangerine,” “Sunlight,” and many more feature a South Asian flair to them, and it’s really cool. I absolutely love it. I love hearing music from other parts of the world, because here in the US, we’re not exposed to it. On the EP, Approved, where he talks about finally getting his visa, he moves more into a reggaeton, Caribbean, and Latin sound, which is really cool as well. I’ve watched some interviews of him where he’s talked about being influenced by music all over the world, as well as being friends with a diverse group of people while growing up in New York and that’s shaped his music as he’s gotten older. Aside from his sound, which I do think is very unique, especially for a rapper in today’s day and age, his lyrics are also very unique, at least in spots. He does write a lot about the generic money, women, and fame kinds of things, but it comes from a more genuine place, where he is an immigrant, and he’s always wanted to be successful, especially when his parents sacrificed everything for him to be here. In other spots, however, he talks about that, and what it’s like being an immigrant. The song “Columbus” from this debut album, 2017′s Kites, is all about taking the myth of Christopher Columbus and deconstructing it, ultimately talking about how America was built on the backs of people of color, and how people are mislead to believe that he “discovered” America, when in fact, Indigenous people were already here, and people of color built the country even further while being oppressed by the settlers and colonizers. He also just flavors his lyrics with South Asian imagery, like I said earlier, and it makes for a more interesting and unique experience, versus the generic bragging and flexing that a lot of rappers engage in. I also just think he has a great voice; he can rap very well, even though he doesn’t utilize straightforward hip-hop too much anymore (Kites is more or less a hip-hop / R&B record, because he sings a lot on that album, versus outright rapping), but he can also sing very well. A lot of his more recent material has him straight up singing, and it sounds awesome. I’ve also seen some videos he’s done recently of him singing some songs in a live setting, and they sound fantastic. I’d love to see him live, I bet he would sound absolutely fantastic. I wish more people would find him and listen to his work. I found him through Apple Music, but more specifically, on the recommended artists page while going through Riz Ahmed’s page. I was looking up his music, which I’m going to be talking about as well, and I found Anik Khan under the artists that sound similar section at the bottom, and I decided to give him a shot, so I’m glad I did. Khan is a rapper that is proud of his heritage and his culture, whether it’s through his lyrics or the music itself, all the while exploring more styles of music from all over the world. He really takes a lot of influences into his sound, and you don’t hear artists like that very often. Not only that, but he’s proud of where he’s from, and he’s proud of being an immigrant (one of my favorite lyrics is from the single “Big Fax,” where he says, “Damn, it feels good to be an immigrant,” and that’s such a powerful thing to hear), but he’s also proud to be from New York. He loves his city, more specifically his borough, but he also loves his culture. Khan is such an interesting, unique, and really cool artist that I was very happy to find, so I hope more people listen to his music after reading this. That’s what this series is going to be about, at least if I ever take a deep dive into a band or artist and don’t feel like reviewing all of their albums individually, I can write about them as a whole here. As a first episode, I’d say this was pretty successful, so hopefully you’ll join me for the next one.

My Top 10 Favourite Movies Part 1 (10 to 6)

I always find it hard to answer the question ‘What’s your favourite movie?” Because it’s so dependant on my mood or what criteria I’m judging it against, but I get it - people want some kind of insight into you and the movie you love will probably give them a bit of that. So this is my top 10 which kind of cover the run of different kinds of movies I love for very different reasons.

10. Gone with the Wind Yeah, this movie is problematic. There is no denying that, like it’s source material, it tries to put a ‘kind’ face on slavery and glamorises the south. But here’s my story, when I was 16 I went to boarding school and I was not exactly the most confident or pretty of the girls so I tended to be a little invisible, people didn’t dislike me but a lot of the time they just sorta forgot I was there. Sunday was our one free day of the week with no lessons and whilst everybody else used it to socialise I used it as my time to be alone and recharge. I’d camp out in the TV room that rarely got used except when big sports events were on - I’d take a book, a film, a mug and a load of tea bags (the kitchen was just next door!). A lot of the time that film was Gone with the Wind - Scarlett O’Hara was everything I wasn’t she was the centre of attention, she always knew what to say, she focused on her goals and didn’t really mind who she had to used to achieve them. I loved her and whilst I didn’t condone everything she did I did find myself practising some of her looks in the mirror.

9. 300 Zac Snyder’s style has taken a fair bit of probably reasonable criticism, but for me in 300 it really worked. Whilst there is some loose historical fact behind 300 it’s not meant to be accurate - it perfectly captures graphic novel style in the medium of film, something which Scott Pilgrim also manages in a different way but which a lot of films have failed to achieve. It is also being told as a story within the story in order to amp up some troops for battle so ya know its supposed to be a bit out there and exaggerated. I think its beautifully shot and paced and I like the overall message. These men didn’t think they were going to win, they knew they didn’t have the numbers, but in the face of something they saw as unreasonable they stood up anyway in the hope that there story would lead others to fight and ultimately win where they alone couldn’t. Also, Lena Headey is killing it as always.

8. Little Women (1994 version) Little Women was one of the first ‘grown-up’ books I read and I fell in love basically from the first page. I’ve seen three versions of this film and love different things about each of them, and whilst June Allyson will always be my favourite Jo on balance I think the 1994 version is the best overall film. This is for several reasons; I think Susan Sarandon is excellent, I think they handle the growing romances of Amy/Laurie and Jo/Fredrich much better and perhaps most importantly I love the score to this movie. It’s so perfect sometimes I just listen to it and it conjures up all the emotions of the film for me. I watched this film so many times when I was younger I think everyone else in my household was ready to die of boredom but I was constantly enraptured by it. I can even forgive them for prettying up some of the characters who weren’t quite so written.

7. A Muppet’s Christmas Carol Here’s a thing about me, I love Christmas as much now as I did as a child. I shamelessly buy into all the commercialism; I love the lights, the present buying, the mulled wines and ciders, I bake mince pies and gingerbread, have a Christmas songs playlist and watch tonnes of Christmas films. And I’m not sure there has been a year since it came out in 1992 when I haven’t watched the Muppet’s Christmas Carol. I think the mixture of human to Muppet characters is perfect, the songs are excellent (It feels like Christmas being a personal fave of mine) and the mixture of laughter and sadness is just right. I’ve seen this film so many times I could probably perform the whole thing solo. But I don’t think there will ever be a Christmas when I don’t sit down and watch it.

6 Kuch Kuch Hota Hai I come from a mixed race family and whilst I never learnt Hindi I did watch a lot of Hindi films when I was younger. I’m a sucker for catchy songs and gut punching emotion so Bollywood in the late 90s/early 00s was kinda made for me. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was definitely my favourite and the one I would encourage anyone who has never seen a Bollywood film before to watch. It’s a great entry point, it’s colourful, the songs will draw you in and the story is not overly complicated but the characters are well drawn. It’s so super 90s and more than a little bit over the top but I challenge anyone not to have a good time. There is a song called Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aaye from when one of the characters finds out the person she loves is in love with someone else that made me cry then and makes me cry every damn time I hear it. 

So that’s 10 through to 6. I will follow up with part 2 later and do 5 through to the number 1 spot.

Simmba Movie Review by Devotee Bollywood Bang Bang (DB3) :

A group of intentionally ugly, unkempt and repulsive goons standing in-front of clean shaved, gelled hair Ranveer Singh is all you want in a typical masala film. From Yaadon Ki Baarat till Simmba, the lineage of masala films have passed from the pen of Salim-Javed to Sajid-Farhad’s MacBook. Most critics and movie analysts consider ‘Masala‘ Genre as a bad piece of art but even they can’t deny that this genre has better success rate than any other category. So it won’t be justice to compare ‘Simmba’ with ‘Raazi’ or ‘Badhai Ho’. Films like ‘Singham’, ‘Kick’, ‘Dabangg’ and ‘Wanted’ are perfect parameter to judge ‘Simmba’ and like every other masala hit it is also copied from the South’s wardrobe. Yes,Simmba is a remake of Telugu film- Temper. For the first hour Ranveer Singh is playing a superhero cop with bulging muscles and no hard and rock morals like ‘Singham’ and in another half, it is a social drama with the feel of ‘Singham’. Rohit Shetty is good in maintaining franchises and after ‘Golmaal’, ‘Singham’ franchise is started by ‘Simmba’. ‘Singham’ recalled us of ‘Zanjeer’ and ‘Simmba’ recalled us of ‘Singham’.

Story by Devotee Bollywood Bang Bang(DB3)

An orphan kid born in Singham aka Bajirao Singham’s village ‘Shivgadh’ but with contrary to Bajirao’s integrity.  Sangram “ Simmba” Bhalerao is an antihero whose only love interest was money till he gets transferred to ‘Miramar’ where he met Durva Ranade(Sonu Sood) and food carter Shagun(Sara Ali Khan). He was heinous, waggish and a flamboyant chap with a tag of a dishonest and corrupt police officer who turns into a serious and responsible officer after a rape-murder scene happens with her dear one.  Ajay Devgan as Singham has a special appearance in the film. Film is about how ‘Simmba’ turns into ‘Singham’.

According to Devotee Bollywood Bang Bang(DB3), Ranveer has utilized his electrifying performance and energy to make Simmba a watchable film. It’s good that ‘Simmba’ wasn’t Sara Ali Khan’s debut film as the screen presence is almost negligible. Ranveer and Sara failed to show a good chemistry on screen and credit goes to the writers and director who just used Sara as an eye-candy. Sonu Sood as always played the role of dashing antagonist who will eventually get beaten up by hero. Ajay Devgan's cameo brings air to the almost dead second half. Accept Ranveer Singh if anyone could have done this role with same humour and energy that would be Akshay Kumar and yes he is also in this film. Apart from that a bunch of sidekick cops, goons and women are present to make statements which will provoke Simmba to forget logic and create emotional drama. Simmba deals with the social awareness about rape. If anybody wonders how can masala blend with social awareness, Simba is a perfect example of what to avoid.

Technical onlook by Devotee Bollywood Bang Bang(DB3)

Simmba is like an old ingredient in feverish masala. Then there’s a full complement of songs and dance but lack of powerful narration and maker’s negligence towards the role of the script is concerning.Rohit Shetty as always focused more on making every scene look bigger with various side actors and extravagant fight scenes. Sajid-Farhad has tried to cover up the dullness of script with extra layers of masala.  Jomon T. John cinematography was according to scripts demand fill with so many low angles and jump shots.

Why Devotee Bollywood Bang Bang (DB3) recommend this movie

Simmba can be your paisa vasool movie if your only aim is to get good 2 hours. Its light-comedy till first half and social drama in another half can entertain you as well as spread awareness.Simmba might failed to give logics but Ranveer's performance and good punchlines will definitely make you laugh.

Celebrate This 50th Wedding Anniversary in (Bollywood Style)

There is no denying that Bollywood has changed immensely in the last few decades. There was a time when Rishi Kapoor’s charms and Helen’s scintillating dance moves dominated the silver screen. Nevertheless, some Bollywood films remain evergreen and are important milestones in the Indian film industry.

This is an especially good gift if you partner loves recalling filmy dialogues

The Carvaan sections songs based on artists (Lata didi, Rafi sahab and Asha di) and moods

3. “Action” Bollywood star photo album

Store all your old photos of kids, weddings, anniversaries, family functions and other memorable events in this nifty book.

Thin crowds greet Bollywood film after rumors set off anger

NEW DELHI/January 25, 2018 (AP)(STL.News) — There was anger about a rumored romance between a Hindu queen and a Muslim invader. There were death threats. There were buses burned and grandstanding politicians.

But when the Indian film “Padmaavat” was finally released on Thursday amid heavy security and breathless TV coverage, Bollywood’s latest over-the-top offering turned out to be just that: an opulent period drama with multiple songs and dances and a thin storyline and not the slightest hint of the rumored relationship.

At a theater in the Indian capital, dozens of policemen and even a few armed paramilitary troops were posted outside. There were no posters announcing the release and less than a 100 people watched the film in a theater meant for a thousand viewers.

The film is based on a 16th century epic Sufi poem, “Padmavat,” in which a brave and beautiful Rajput queen chose to immolate herself in a ceremonial fire rather than be captured by the Muslim sultan of Delhi, Allaudin Khilji.

Over centuries of retelling, the epic has come to be seen as history, despite little evidence. The main character of Queen Padmini has become an object of veneration for many Rajputs, the clans of former warriors and kings from the western state of Rajasthan.

And that is where the film’s many woes originated.

Rumors, denied multiple times by the film’s producer and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, swirled that the film depicted a romantic dream sequence between the invading sultan and the queen of legendary beauty he madly coveted. As it happens, Queen Padmini and Khilji, the sultan, never interact in the film and are in the same frame for just a few seconds.

The film’s sets were vandalized several times by Rajput groups over the last year and Bhansali was manhandled by a mob.

Members of several small Rajput groups continued to be enraged about the film despite Bhansali’s protestations.

They kept finding reasons to be enraged.

The film’s trailer showed the queen and her female companions dancing during a religious celebration, which angered some protesters. A demure Rajput queen would never be seen dancing in public. In fact, in the film she is seen dancing only in front of her husband.

Others were angry that during the dance her bare midriff was visible briefly — so the filmmakers used special effects to cover her up.

As the film’s initial release date of Dec. 1 inched closer, the threats grew and spread outside Rajasthan.

In November, Suraj Pal Amu, a member of India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party from the northern state of Haryana, offered 100 million rupees ($1.5 million) to anyone who beheaded Bhansali and lead actress Deepika Padukone.

The head of the Rajput Karni Sena in Rajasthan said Padukone should have her nose cut off — a symbol of public humiliation — for being in a film that he said insulted the famed queen.

Four Indian states, all ruled by the Hindu nationalist BJP, said they would ban the film because it hurt local sentiments.

For a while it appeared the film would never be released.

The producers scrambled to save their expensive extravaganza. A group that included representatives of India’s former Rajput royal families watched the film before the country’s censor board gave it a greenlight. They changed the name from “Padmavati,” one of the names of the queen.

They issued full-page disclaimers in every national newspaper, insisting the film paid homage to the valor of the brave queen and the heroic history of the Rajputs.

India’s top court had to step in and order the states of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Haryana to reverse their bans.

But the violence continued up until Thursday, with protesters setting buses on fire, damaging some theaters ahead of the release and blocking many national highways.

Several theater owners didn’t screen the film for fear of vandalism.

Prema Swarupa, a 21-year-old college student who braved the early winter chill and fears of violence to watch the film in New Delhi, was puzzled by the protests.

“I was definitely scared there would be violence but I can’t understand at all what all the protests have been about. There’s nothing in this film,” he said.

“It was all for nothing.”

Four Ways to Save Money on Heating Bill’s

  As temperatures drop, heating costs begin to rise. Most American families depend on herbal fuel, power, or an aggregate of the two to hold heat inside the iciness, and it is not easy to price range for the prices. These pointers assist in decreasing payments with out sacrificing comfort.

Clean and Replace Filters

Forced-air structures rely upon filters to clean and circulate the air. Clogged, dirty filters cause the device to paintings more difficult, resulting in better energy payments and pointless wear on the unit. Most filters require month-to-month replacement, despite the fact that some offer 3 months between modifications.

Invest in a Programmable Thermostat

Consumer Reports recommends placing the temperature to 68 tiers Fahrenheit at some stage in waking hours and decreasing it to 60 degrees in a single day. A programmable thermostat automatically takes care of those changes based on the consumer’s present specs. It additionally makes it clean and price-green to timetable temperature adjustments to suit family activities, consisting of work or circle of relatives vacations.

Take Advantage of Other Sources

Some routine obligations across the house, along with cooking, drying clothes, and showering, generate warm temperature. Morning showers are top notch approaches to boost overnight temperatures, and oven dinners permit house owners to showdown thermostats early without losing good sized amounts of heat.Joint resolution definition.

Warm Up With The Sunshine

When it’s miles to be had, daylight is a super home heating supply. Homeowners who open their blinds and curtains all through the day typically run their furnaces less frequently than individuals who preserve their blinds closed. Covering home windows as the solar is going down helps to keep the warm temperature into the nighttime.

  Yes, All Women Deserve Dignity

In the aftermath of the Bengaluru mass molestation, there’s been a wave of reactions throughout social media. Outrage and sadness poured in from almost all quarters, but not quite. #NotAllMen started to fashion on Twitter as guys got here out to protest the generalization that they were all perverts. In response, the #YesAllWomen movement wearily picked up steam once more because it attempted for the umpteenth time to explain to guys what its approaches to be a lady in modern day society, and the degree to which women face sexual harassment every single day.

Women’s world cup favorites

It’s now not the first time girls have been made to justify why they deserve an existence free from eve-teasing and sexual harassment. Among people who have not experienced it, there is a widespread consensus that the day by day problems ladies face with informal sexism are simplest a minor inconvenience, and absolutely special from the more legitimate worry of rape. What appears so hard to simply accept is that being hooted at while crossing the street or accompanied as you walk your canine at night time is in itself a traumatizing occasion. Women around the sector are pressured to justify why they feel helpless and terrified in a scenario the world sees as ‘uncomfortable’ at maximum.

Here are a few statistics: Eve-teasing is sexual violence. It is the intentional infliction of emotional distress. It entails “making vulgar feedback, indecent proposals, unwelcome gestures with hands, legs, arms or other organs, attempting to make bodily touch, and many others. Any sort of verbal or non-verbal behavior, physical conduct or show of items or snapshots and remarks approximately a female’s seems or frame also can be considered as eve-teasing”, as described via 2014 have a look at.

The average case of sexual harassment may be whatever. It will be your milkman looking at you as you rely upon out your money. It can be the bumping and grind in the packed bus that hides creeping hands. It may be your boss insisting which you get inside the pool at an off-site, or your co-people joking approximately what you have on under that breezy blouse. It can be your uncle exclaiming how you’ve got grown, whilst you know he’s now not talking about your peak. It can be a bizarre man on the road singing voyeuristic Bollywood songs as you leave the house or your downstairs neighbor inquiring for the 0.33 time whilst your husband could be home.

The in advance referred to 2014 study became carried out on the University of Calicut, Kerala. It requested a hundred and twenty lady college students how they reacted to eve-teasing. Almost all expressed a readiness to react if pressured, either with the aid of immediately confronting their attacker or by complaining to a better authority. Yet best 1,444 cases of eve-teasing have been registered in 2015. So, why are not more girls speaking up? Let’s attempt to understand this.

At the example of harassment, three feelings take over.

Fear, that the smallest prevalence of intimidation can improve.

Shame, the grotesquely unfair result of an entire life of victim-blaming and moral policing, disgrace at being taken by wonder yet again, disgrace on the sheer hopelessness of our scenario.

Computer code in film: hidden meanings or irrelevant nonsense?

Computer code in film: hidden meanings or irrelevant nonsense?

Ever puzzled what those Matrix-style green holographic film codes that sparkle throughout computer screen in films without a doubt imply? You recognize, the ones reputedly sophisticated algorithms within the 5th Estate and unbreakable cryptograms in Physician Who? Nicely, programmer John Graham-Cumming has the solution.

code

“I used to be watching the movie Elysium, and a few coding came up as the space station is rebooted, and I motion: ‘That is certainly familiar’, so I tracked it down,” explains Graham-Cumming, who started coding at the age of 13 on his BBC Micro computer and is now a blogger and programmer. “It turns out that the system is taken at once from the Intel software program developer’s manual, which I found a laugh. So I tweeted that and got hundreds of responses.” Remaining Friday, he released a Tumblr to compile greater examples; by using Monday morning, it already had eleven,000 fans and Graham-Cumming became inundated with suggestions for film codes to crack. The technique of figuring out the resources of film systems is in reality pretty simple. Graham-Cumming takes a screengrab and without delay gets a feel of whether the code is probably valid or utter nonsense. If a unique individual or variable sticks out, the selections it out and Googles it. In most instances, whether the codes is purporting to manual a missile or rifle thru private databases, it is possible to be a quite mundane reduce and paste task.

There are a few real howlers. Graham-Cumming was tickled at the same time as looking Antitrust, a mystery about a wannabe Invoice Gates: “I cracked up watching those Pc nerds looking at code, nodding and announcing: ‘Whoa, This is the first-rate man,’ while it was clearly the maximum pure Javascript this is utterly meaningless.” in the Terminator, we see the sector via T-800’s head-up show, but the scrolling textual content accompanying the crosshair in his imaginative and prescient is the harmless assembly code for an Apple-II. But the sources for faux coding just get higher: in a single episode of Doctor Who, Matt Smith appears intently at a few hovering code, yet on closer inspection, it is the reference for a simple photo report – a picture of a lightwave – lifted from Wikipedia.

Laptop programmers need to snicker after they see characters in movies adjusting their thick-rimmed glasses, furiously typing, then watching at the code that in all likelihood most productive says: “Hiya world.” Graham-Cumming reveals it unexpected, though, that this info, which is probably relevant to a plotline, are rarely given extra thought, and attention through directors, especially as viable codes are so easy to locate through open–supply websites including GitHub and SourceForge.

But, there are some dazzling examples of programming detail. Jurassic Park becomes virtually ahead of its time: actors worked on solid, high-acting Silicon Pics Computer structures and in a single classic conventional scene, teenager Lex Murphy logs directly to the Laptop and exclaims: “it is a Unix device, I recognize this,” which relates to an actual working machine. More recently, The Social Network supplied a visually compelling, technically genuine narrative about the technique of programming. While Mark Zuckerberg, performed by way of Jesse Eisenberg, types the commands for “facemask” the usage of PerlScript, it’s far woven in with his clarification of the technique in pure textual content and HTML on his weblog. In David Fincher’s The Lady with the Dragon Tattoo, heroine Lisbeth Salander is depicted as trying to find files the use of the same method that real builders use. With the upward push of excessive-definition screens and display screen-seize gear, and with gadgets including Google Glass an increasing number of likely for use on screen, there will most efficient be additional opportunities for clever-ass code-studying. Directors take a word.

Every 12 months we pay attention the same horror story; that cinema is overrun by using formulaic franchise fodder, with nothing, however, superheroes and sequels on the show. But flip your attention far away from the monotony of the multiplexes, where the dreary Batman v Superman: Sunrise of Justice and the disappointing Suicide Squad might also rule the roost, and the photo is quite one of a kind. At unbiased cinemas around the UK, we’re constantly reminded of the lovely breadth and scope of modern films, way to movies including Peter Middleton and James Spinney’s electrifying Notes on Blindness, an important sensory experience, based totally on the audiotape memoirs of theologian John M Hull.

Notes on Blindness become merely one in every of several excellent homemade indie snapshots launched within the Uk this year. Different admirable oddities covered Stephen Fingleton’s stripped-down Northern Ireland mystery The Survivalist; Joe Stephenson’s Kes-like Chook; and Jane Gull’s My Feral Coronary heart, with its impressive, valuable overall performance through newcomer Steven Brandon.

My preferred movie of 2016 changed into the spine-tingling British manufacturing Under the Shadow from Iran-born, London-based totally creator/director Babak Anvari. The UK’s access for next year’s foreign language movie Oscar, this brilliantly smart chiller is about in Tehran, shot in Jordan, and filmed in Farsi. There are nods to Roman Polanski’s The Tenant and Guillermo del Toro’s The Satan’s Spine, but Anvari’s gem conjures surroundings this is its own. In compiling my Pinnacle 10 I’ve caught rigidly to movies that had been indeed launched within the Uk in 2016 (competition screenings and previews don’t matter), which means that such eagerly awaited films as Los Angeles L. A. Land and Moonlight, which don’t open right here till early 2017, aren’t eligible. My listing also functions some films that Different critics may additionally have included in Last 12 months’ lists – specifically, Room, Include of the Serpent and Son of Saul, which was launched in the US in 2015.

If 12 months can be judged via the great of the movies that didn’t pretty make the Pinnacle 10, then 2016 became super. I couldn’t discover room for Denis Villeneuve’s heartbreaking sci-fi epic Arrival, Ben Wheatley’s original version of JG Ballard’s excessive-upward push, or Colm McCarthy’s eerie zombie % The Girl With All the Items, all of which I fashionable substantially. It breaks my Coronary heart, too, no longer to had been able to consist of Whit Stillman’s Love & Friendship, John Carney’s Sing Street, or Stephen Frears’s Florence Foster Jenkins, which provoked laughter and tears on a couple of viewings. Different splendid omissions include Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s Oscar-nominated Mustang (with its fantastic Warren Ellis rating) and Lucile Hadžihalilović’s brilliantly weird Evolution. Maneesh Sharma’s King of Comedy-style Bollywood mystery Fan changed into a robust contender, too – a twisted tale of a celeb and his younger devotee, each played through superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

A new Pc application could assist to calm civil unrest and discover new threats to public protection by way of analyzing postings on Twitter and assessing public mood, academics have said.

The gadget can examine up to two,000 tweets a 2nd to extract from every an instantaneous expression of certainly one of 8 real feelings: anger, disgust, worry, happiness, disappointment, surprise, disgrace, and confusion.

The team who advanced this system at Loughborough University’s new center for facts management said it could be feasible to use the sophisticated software program, named Emotive, to geographically map the emotional mood of the nation and its reaction to great activities.

Twitter has loads of millions of customers around the arena and, alongside Fb and BlackBerry Messenger, was criticized for helping rioters in setting up the unrest that swept England in the summer of 2011.

Teachers stated the usage of Emotive to geographically examine the mass mood could help police to tune potential crook behavior or threats to public protection, and may be able to guide countrywide policy on the excellent way to react to main incidents.

Professor Tom Jackson, who led the studies crew, said: “Following the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich there was an outpouring of unhappiness and disgust through Twitter.

“across the USA people expressed their feelings at this unprovoked assault, with a few the usage of the incident to incite racial hatred in opposition to Muslims.

“Two days after his murder his family appealed for calm, pointing out that their son would now not have wanted his call for use as an excuse to carry out attacks in opposition to others.

“This attraction had an almost immediate effect, primary to an outpour of the nice sentiment.”

He said that public postings thru social media provide an entirely accurate real-time document of ways and what human beings are feeling.

“Twitter is a quite concise platform via which users explicit how they experience a particular event, be that a crook act, A brand new government coverage or maybe a trade inside the weather,” he stated.

“thru the Laptop application we have created we will collate those expressions of feelings in real time, map them geographically and song how they broaden.”

Dr. Ann O’Brien turned into a part of the research team that created the ontology, or structural model, used by Emotive.

She stated: “The philosophy we created takes the eight emotions and offers them a rich linguistic context so that we will chart the strength of feelings expressed in ordinary language and also in slang. For any incident, we will view how reactions grow and decrease over time.”

The system is presently only being used to analyze tweets inside the United kingdom, but it could without problems be scaled up to display tweets globally, of which there are 10,000 a 2d.

The crew has already secured further investment with a view to permitting researchers to expand another prototype gadget that could robotically stumble on activities, analyze emotions and extract greater precise information of significance from social media.

It’s also was hoping lecturers can discover the opportunity of predicting persona profiles from the herbal language used on Twitter and similar social streams.

The Emotive assignment becomes funded via the Engineering, and Physical Sciences Studies Council and the Defence Science and Generation Laboratory.
