    Who would not love to listen to music in any part of the world. The initial music which we humans heard were the chirping of the birds, sounds of cattle and wild animals, that of […]

    • Nice, I wish to hear the music form displayed here through YouTube.Are your songs in English or not? Thanks, very nice , informative one knowing your culture and music of the 21st century India.

      • Cely,

        Thanks for the appreciation shown for the music of India. Here what is shown is the Veena it is a string instrument. This has been there since the Vedic age more than 7000 centuries ago. This is the instrument played by Goddess Saraswati the Goddess of Knowledge in the Hindu religion. One more interesting thing is that before are sent to school. There is a function conducted known as Aksharabhyasa which is performing pooja for this particular Goddess and seeking her blessing that the child grown into a brainy, intelligent and wise child.

        I do not know if we can put a you tube in this reply hence am not doing the same. But it is played instrumental and it is also played along with singing too. This is famous in south India while its cousin the Sitar one more string instrument is famous in the North India. Listening to booth is nice. You will get lots of downloads of veena recitals in google by famous music personalities.

    • Thank you Krishna for putting up such a wonderful topic You have almost covered all the variety of Indian music. But one of the major sector has not been touched. There should be some category like modern songs which are not film song. Mainly sung by solo artists or bands. These songs are also very rich with their music and lyrics. Sometimes these musics are mix of several categories. I know it is hard to put all category in detail. Then this blog will be huge in size.
      In short you have done a wonderful job.

      • Thanks for the appreciation. I understood what you are trying to point out. This post became too long and I had to unfortunately stop at where I did. I actually wanted to cover what you have highlighted and some other forms too. Will try to put a different post for that. Best wishes.

    • Music produced and performed by artists from India certainly does have variety and is very entertaining.

      • Thanks for the inputs and happy to hear your view on this topic. Best wishes.

        • Question about that particular instrument that you show as your featured image. Is there like someone in India who is considered a master as playing it and making sweet melodies? Don’t know if you’re familiar with the musician Gheorghe Zamfir. He’s Romanian and people say he’s the master of the plan flute. I was wondering if there is someone similar in India who plays that stringed instrument in the picture. I’m not sure what the instrument is called but I have heard it played. If you know who is the master of that instrument, it would probably make an excellent blog post.

          • It is called the Veena and Late Chitti Babu was one of the masters who played there are many who pursue it in South India. S. Balachander, Asad Ali Khan, Rash Behari Dutta, Shrikant Pathak, R.V.Hegde to name a few of the many masters who play this instrument. This also comes in different forms like Rudra Veena etc.

    • though liked the old songs in salman khans and aamir khan movies since we were kids, i have to say the music now is so much greater and rocks, i like it and all the world like it too

      • True today’s music has evolved according to the times and the generation. The number of instruments used and the experimentation too has made the range very vast. It is a industry which is rapidly growing in India. Many albums have also become chart busters and people need not be in the film industry to get into the music industry as there are many companies which release albums and make the artiste famous overnight.

        I feel there is lot of scope for music in our country with a rich and wide array of instruments, playing and singing styles. Fusion music too has reached new heights. Audience whether old or new are open to experimentation. The tend to appreciate good music which has variety and is different from what is already existing and is pleasing to ones years. Lyrics too play an important part as catchy lyrics are liked by youngsters when the composition is good. Thanks for the input.

    The articles should not be published on some other site, face book or anywhere else. It should only be there on literacybase website. If you have it somewhere else too it should be deleted there and then submitted here. I do not have any blog of my own as of now as even I am learning too.

    Ruby wrote a new post, The Wonders of this Super Fruit or Golden berries 7 years, 8 months ago

    GOLDEN BERRIES

    I came upon this what they call super fruit when I posted pictures of wild flowers taken in our backyard in facebook.

    A friend sent me this article thru personal message in facebook. I got […]

    • I had seen plants like that before, but I did not know if it’s the exact plant like what you posted here. But it really looks the same. Yes,it is considered a weed, and we do not know that it has many health benefits.

      But how can one use it? Is it being cooked? Isn’t it poisonous or safe to eat?

      • i searched the internet and some countries really propagate it for business purposes. They dry the fruit like that of raisins or prunes.

        I tasted the green fruit, the one inside the one a took a picture of, and i am still alive, so i think that it is ok.

        I am still waiting for the fruits to ripen so i will know what is its taste.

        My husband will try to plant it to place that will not bother the rice plants.

        I will keep the update in the near future.

        thank you for your comment and questions.

    • @Ruby Ate Rubs, this fruit is I think what we would pluck in the field and we pop it in our forehead. Though, we would pick it up in a shrub not a tree.

      If it isn’t that one we pop in our forehead, I certainly have seen this.

      Certainly, this fruit can be of great help for those who got sick with prostate cancer, like my father and father-in-law.

      I hope further studies could be done to validate its healthy claims.

      Indeed, some things are taken for granted. They only will realize that it is important, when it is gone already.

      So, where is Rodel here now Ate Rubs?

      • I think the one that you pop in your forehead is the other variety of this golden berry which has 3 very small fruit inside its lanter-like fruit.

        this golden berry has only one larger fruit inside. I think they already have a study about this fruit, but since i cannot copy what they wrote, for fear of being charged with plagiarism, I just mentioned some of its health benefits to tickle our sense of awareness.

        Regarding Rodel, I will follow up on him.

        Thanks for the invite to this site. although I think the pay is a little bit low, for a starter like me, I will charge it more to experience rather than the pay I can get from my submission of articles.

    • Airlines if they want to tighten their belts. It is better they provide good quality service, maintain flight times, see that passengers are not harassed, provide amenities to passengers at airports rather than charging and making every service a pay and use variety, See customer is respected from whichever part of the world one is.

      They should avoid too much of automation and cutting of jobs as if any serious problem arises then manpower is required to handle such issues and machines will not solve the problem. Respect employees for what they are appreciate their work, see their requirements are well taken care of and they are not treated as use and throw material or like a tissue paper.
