10,000 Year Old Rock Paintings Depicting Aliens and Ships Chhattisgarh state department of archaeology and culture plans to seek help from Nasa and Isro for research on 10,000-year-old rock paintings depicting aliens and UFOs in Charama region in Kanker district in tribal Bastar region.  According to archaeologist JR Bhagat, these paintings have depicted aliens like those shown in Hollywood and Bollywood flicks.

Politics and smoke at INDIAN COFFEE SHOP HAZRATGANJ , Lucknow   It is not really once upon a time. It still is full of smoke, possibilities, memories. But those were the days when it used to be the hub of modern enlightenment in the heart of old Lucknow. The Indian Coffee House at Hazratganj, Lucknow, used to be a meeting place of communists, socialists, nihilists, journalists, middle-of-the-roaders, intellectuals as well as 'non-intellectuals' whose sole ambition was to be mistaken as intellectuals. Here people would sit for hours every day and decide the fate of the world: precisely, local politics, politics at Lucknow University, politics in the cow belt, and national politics. But life stretched beyond politics too. Late PM Chandra Shekhar, Hindi writer Yashpal and artist Prof RS Bisht - all patronised the caf. Even after 50 years of existence and a new makeover, the coffee joint still attracts old and new generations. Though this caf too had to close down...

Raaga : Ahir Bhairav I want to introduce you to a morning raga –  Ahir Bhairav . This is different from  Raga Bhairav  - another morning Raga I wrote about here . The Ahir are a caste of cowherds, milkers, and cattle breeders widely dispersed across the Gangetic Plain. According to musical folklore, the melody of their cowbells is supposed to be behind this raga. Thank you for giving us this beautiful raga. Ahir Bhairav is a late morning raga and can be sung from 8am up to 10 am. "I woke up to the sound of Raga Ahir Bhairav, the legendary voice of Ustad Amir Khan rendering the morning raga as a variant of the original Raga Bhairav. I looked at my watch. It was four in the morning. I could visualize the scene in the living room. Keya would be sitting by the window, waiting for the first glimpse of dawn. The window would be open and the white lace curtains would be swaying in the cool breeze to the accompaniment of the wind chimes hanging in the corner. They sounded li...
