AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Some people lack enthusiasm in life and constantly say no to anything that might bring them joy like going out, enjoying a meal, or watching a movie. While I agree that such activities may not offer deeper or lasting happiness, they also show no interest in exploring higher or more meaningful experiences.

As a result they stagnate and the energies, for want of circulation begin to sulk and get depressed. Criticising and complaining is a way of giving comfort to oneself and justifying the narrow approach to life.

Affectionately,

Hip-hop is a form of singing. The lyrics are the content one fills in the form. Just as one may serve poison in a golden glass or nectar in a cup of mud, so too the two must be seen distinct from each other. Of course it is wonderful to serve nectar in an appropriate bowl of gold. But it is not always the case. 

As a form, Hip-hop brings a unique dimension by trying to break free from all forms and bringing a new possibility in the world of music more consistent with the pace and the consciousness of the new age that is…
