24th Edition of Shadow Dancing With Mind


Welcome to 24th Edition of Shadow Dancing With Mind. This edition has the following topics…

Are Human beings basically made up of two basic drives i. e. the SEXUAL and the AGRESSIVE. (Freud 1920).  Well I am not able to relate to, or digest in totality... so I did some research, and came across many who don’t think so too…

The name Higgs Boson came from a British scientist Peter Higgs and Bose (Satyendra Nath Bose after whose name thesub-atomic particle boson is named). The work done by Bose and Albert Einstein, later added by Higgs, lead to this pioneering day.

This year’s Euro Vision 2012 2nd Winner reminds me of our village folk songs from UP and Bihar as well as one from Bulgaria.

Up Close & Personal: In depth reading, understanding and knowing some great people…

Etoile Bleue (Blue Star) painting smashes auction record - BBC News 20th June, 2012
I had to put the painting ‘Blue Star’ image here, since I know, after seeing it, everyone will think... I could have painted this too... But before you go and smirk with your own interesting critic, here is what Miro thought about critics.

Freud's theories have been criticized as pseudo-scientific and sexist, and they have been marginalized within psychology departments, although they remain influential within the humanities. Critics have debated whether it is possible to test Freudian theories. Some researchers claim evidence exists for some of Freud's theories.

WHISPERS: Some of my poetry and Haiku

Remembering Dante Alighieri on his birthday today by sharing a very beautiful love poetry from La Vita Nuova ("The New Life") and a little bit about his amazing one sided love story.



And finally a book review…


Hope you will enjoy this 24th Edition… look forward to your comments and views on the same.

MUSIC: Folk Songs like of Bihar / UP (INDIA) in EUROVISION 2012


THIS YEAR'S EURO VISION 2012 2ND WINNER REMINDS ME OF OUR VILLAGE FOLK SONGS FROM UP / BIHAR AS WELL AS ONE FROM BULGARIA
______________

Yesterday night Buranovskiye Babushki (meaning "Buranovo Grannies") won second place in the prestigious Eurovision Song Contest (Sweden's Loreen won the first place). These old beautiful ladies, did not know the English lyrics but said that it was easy for them to sing. Its a lovely song and I loved it, more than the winner as it reminded me of our own village songs that my own grandmother, and family used to sing while doing daily chores or doing some community things like harvesting, community cooking or festivals/marriages.

(Buranovskiye Babushki is a Russian ethno-pop band containing eight elderly women. Buranovskiye Babushki represented Russia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan. The band consists of eight "grandmothers", but only six were allowed to appear on the Eurovision stage. They are from the village of Buranovo, Udmurtia, halfway between the Volga and the Urals in Russia. The band performs most of their songs in the Udmurt language.)





Their initial notes of the song reminded me of another very powerful folk song by Valya Balkanska known for singing the song "Izlel e Delyu Haydutin", part of the Voyager Golden Record selection of music included in the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. You must listen to Nevena Tsoneva's singing at the final of Eurovision 2007 singing that very powerful song by Balkanska...
