Happy International Women’s Day!

Posted in Living Female, There's Hope, Waiting on the World to Change, tagged , on March 8, 2009 | 5 Comments »

Every day SHOULD be Women’s day, but the sad truth is that it isn’t, and what’s even sadder is that the one day given to us by the world kind of passes away like any other day. It shouldn’t be this way. Celebrate who you are and what you mean to this world! Women are [...]

Rabbi is indeed a female sympathetic song writer, and chooses to write about the crucial topics facing India right now: female foeticide and the rights of the girl child.

Rabbi’s Lyrics (aka Avengi Ja Nahin, Part II)

Posted in Amazing Musicians, Artist Talk, Lessons from Strange Sources, Living Female, Lyrics, Music!, Rabbi Shergill, Song Translations, The Universality of Music, tagged , , , , , on August 11, 2008 | 11 Comments »

Lyrically, Avengi Ja Nahin has several songs that seem singularly female-sympathetic, an attitude that is refreshing in a young male singer, and important in our generation.

Yeh Tara Woh Tara, Swades
For the first time ever, I’ve been really jetlagged. For the past couple days I’ve been in a zombie state, and crashed randomly come 8-9pm. I think its the joint effect of being sick for most of the trip and getting little/no sleep, plus traveling constantly which makes for a terrible [...]
