HDTV: Plasma, LCD, or LED? October 31, 2009

Posted by atharkhan in : Personal, Tech , 6comments

My four year old Plasma TV seems to be on its way out. Any recommendations on which technology (Plasma, LCD, or LED) is better? Is any particular brand better than others at this point or are they all comparable?

Sweetener Choices October 25, 2009

Posted by atharkhan in : Personal , 18comments

White sugar, Sweet n’ Low, Equal, Splenda, Sugar in the Raw, unprocessed cane sugar, real honey, unpasteurized honey….the choices are endless. Is it better to use smaller amounts of  unprocessed (or minimally processed) sweeteners rather than using sugar substitutes? Which one do you use and why?

Kailash Kher (Kailasa) – Joban Chhalke October 20, 2009

Posted by atharkhan in : Personal , add a comment

This track is on Kailash Kher’s band Kailasa’s latest CD, “Yatra (Nomadic Souls).” I found it rather playful.  I couldn’t find the official lyrics online so I have tried to write them out myself.

Enjoy! (and please let me know if I have any errors)

Ban than ke gora kahan chali?

Vaara maare aise jor
Moonh ki khaavein sadhu chor
Bijli si kadke ghanghor,
Bhittar bhittar vaale por
Kaise, chaloon mein to tikhad tikhad ke

Ho joban chhalke, joban chhalke

Are banthan wali mane kiye
Ke leri jhodi mein

Bhaari bhaari achraj paas pados karein gharane mein
Are court kachehri band pad gaye
Bhaggi pardh gai thane mein
Are-re-re-re-re

Uppar uppar ka hai shor
Bhittar bhittar hein sab chor
Saare ke saare moonh zor
Baaton ka koi aur na jhor
Jee mein mukute ye badadh badadh ke
Ho joban chhalke, joban chhalke

Chaandan raat mein peesan baithi kid kid daant bajaon jo
Nas nas meri kas kas jaave par bas dar dar jaaon jo
Are-re-re-re-re

Kaise maare vo kilkor
Mastave saavan ki dor
Joban hai paavan chitchor
Dhak dhak jee mein uthe hilor
Sab ka dil jaave pighad pighad ke

Aey re gora gorari, aey re gora!
Ban than ke gora kahan chali?
