Bangladeshi Music and Music color

Bangladesh is traditionally very rich in its musical heritage. People of Bangladesh love music very much. Most of the people couldn't pass a day without listening music.Most of the music is basically on classical music, and classical music is the basement of all music. There is not a single music without classical music.The music of Bangladesh can be broadly categorized among the following genres: Rabindra sangit, Nazrul geeti, Classical song, Folk, Baul, Lalon, Adhunik, and Modern (Pop, Rock, Mainstream rock, Underground rock).

Classical:
Classical music is the "column of a building". Without classical music one can not sing a single song. It is based on rags and it is fully on "Sargams". Some of the most talented classical musicians of the sub-continent come from Bangladesh including Ustad Allauddin Khan.

Rabindra sangeet:
Rabindranath Tagore is the main origin of Rabindra sangit. It is one of the best-known genres of Bangla music outside Bengal. Rabindra sangeet itself is broadly classified into few sub-genres:puja porjai (prayer songs), prem porjai (love songs), bichitra porjai (variety songs), swadesh porjai (patriotic songs)Tagore composed most of the songs himself. In rabindra sangit all of them are based on rags.On the other hand some songs are fundamental creation of Tagore. He has composed some songs based on European music also. In 1878 he composed a music drama "Balmikiprotiva". After this he composed another musical drama "Kalmrigoya". Both of them are based on western music. Tagore used ragaas while composing any songs as such anyone can identify them as rabindra sangeet. That is the most interesting and common in Rabindranath's song.Rabindra sangeet is most important thing in bengali culture and almost 90% people of Bangladesh love Rabindra sangit. All the times, if there are any cultural program in bengali or bengali culture, there has Rabindra sangit all the time. These songs have also been used in several movies, both in Bengali and non-Bengali cinema. The national anthems of both Bangladesh and India are Rabindra sangeets; these are "Amar Shonar Bangla" it's mean Oh My Precious Bengal, the melody is based on a folk tune by Gogon Harkara and "Jana Gana Mana", means Ruler of the Minds of All People, written in an older form of Bangla, closer to Sanskrit, that can be readily re-interpreted in almost all Indian languages.In Bangladesh, until recently, Rabindra sangeet has practically been synonymous with two names and they are, Rezwana Chowdhury Banya and Sadi Mohammad. For all these causes Rabindra sangit is most popular in Bangladesh.

Nazrul Geeti:
Nazrul geeti, literally meaning "music of Nazrul", are the works of Kazi Nazrul Islam, national poet of Bangladesh and like Rabindra sangit, Nazrul geeti is also most popular in Bangladesh. The most famous Nazrul geeti is Karar Oi Louho Kopat (Prison-doors of Steel) and has been used several movies - especially those made during the pre-independence period of Bangladesh.Nazrul Islam also incorporated influences from Western India. He played an active role in carrying out a fusion between Western Indian ghazals and traditional Bengali classical music.Nazrul Islam born in Bangladesh and from his childhood he wrote songs. Bangladeshi singer and composer, Firoza Begum, played a very big role in popularising Nazrul geeti in both Bangladesh and West Bengal. Sohorab Hossain, Shabnam Mushtari also played a crucial role in making Nazrul geeti mainstream.Folk music can clearly be distinguished and classified into several sub-genres:Baul, Bhandari, Bhatiali, Bhawaiya, Gajir geet, Gombhira, Hason Raja, Jaari, Jatra, Kirtan, Pala, Kobi gaan, Lalon, Mursiya, Shaari, Upojatiyo, Letto.Of these several groups, Baul song is best known and was further enriched by works of Lalon.

Pop music:

Pop music initially started with the so-called band music. And as the name suggests, the music was heavily influenced by Western Music. Some of the best known bands of the pop era were:L.R.B: Nagor BaulMiles: The early contributors to pop music also included the following singers: Azam Khan, Amani Latiff, Happy Akhand, Lucky Akhand . Mostly the tenage people are very much addicted about the pop music. Pop music of Bangladesh had an assorted history. Artists of the "Adhunik Gaan" and folk genre also contributed to the pop music from time to time. Mehreen is a noted name in this regard for having revived pop and new generation fusion music.

Rock music:

In Bangladesh, Bangla rock was started by Azam Khan, Miles and LRB. Hassan and James, contributed in popularizing rock music. However, hard-rock did not begin until arrival of bands like Rockstrata, and later Warfaze among many others in the early 90s.Bangladeshi rock scene has evolved into two distinct categories. They are, Mainstream and Underground.

Telecom operators more spends in Bangladesh media

Advertising expenses by chief brands in Bangladesh rose by 7 percent to a feasible Tk 8.4 billion last year as mobile telecom operators battled for customers, with Grameenphone the country’s biggest financier.

This is not a disclosure but it is led by all telecom service supplier brands- Grameenphone, Banglalink, Aktel, City Cell and Warid. As the telecom market expanded in recent years and competition with other operators amplify day by day, Grameenphone has to spend more on adverts.

On the other hand the rate of expenses growth slowed sharply compared to previous years, advertising spending measured down to 7.2% in 2007. But In 2006 it was 22%. Total article estimates above the line spending in 2007 are estimated total Taka 8.4 billion.

Five of the top six advertisers were mobile operators, with the top ten advertisers secretarial for approximately 54 percent of total spending. The mobile handset maker Nokia also made it on to the top ten lists.

The top 10 categories explanations for almost 80% of total media spend during 2007. In 2006 they are description for about 70%. In terms of actual spending, Telecom sector maintained its top position with a significant increase.

When print media stay behind the largest advertising vehicle with around 43 percent of spending, the cable and satellite channels increase heavily at the expensive of the country's earthly operator, BTV. In total, TV advertising accounted for 36 percent of advertising spending.

Real estate and soft drinks, though characteristic within the top 5 categories actually reduced spending in 2007 over 2006. Real estate declined across two consecutive quarters of 2007. The government concentrated effort generate the turn down

In 2007 in the second quarter, for the first time 80 and 90 second ads were introduced. TV profitable with strange durations akin to 5, 15, 25 seconds are not encouraged by BTV, they surrounding them to the next senior even period like 10, 20, 30 seconds.

Style and Fashion of Bangladesh

Fashion stated differently to different people in different countries. Fashion is a connecting part of the global communication sector. It carries one countries thought to another countries. Though every country has their own style and cultural rhythm, they welcome fashion and culture of the other countries as well.

It is obvious that some cultural exchange will be happen as we are the neighboring country of India but how much should we adopt from them and what should we not take from them in our culture.

Let’s see what fashion we are in to and from where it is coming. In the global communication era the exchange of fashion is an obvious happening issue. And through the internet one can easily find out what’s happening in U.S.A or in the Paris. India with great respect improving and playing creatively with design in their fashion including dress, accessories, life style every where. Bangladeshi designers and market some how influenced badly by the Indian culture and trying to bring their flavors in our culture.

Now the question is where there is chance to go with the original western fashion and in a sense where India also adopts their fashoin why are we concentrating mainly on the Indian fashion and its trend? Is it because we have something common in the dressing segment or is it because the western countries culture is too different from ours.

In India bollywood movie and the Hindi serials is mainly the place from where we copied their style. Basically the cuttings of Salwar Kamiz, jeans, skirts, shirts or kurta, the design in sari the Indian fashion are obtained. If Rani Mukhaji wearing short Kamizez in the movie the trends start here and obviously in India. Its not mean that Rani Mukharji is making the fashion change, they are the medium of reflection .Aishwaria Rai’s Sari in the film Devdas hit our market as well as their.

The following trends don’t end in the list of dress it continued with the hair style as well as with the accessories. The hair color or the change in the cutting goes well with the Indian trends. The Baggy bags or the big beds necklace carry here by the girls smartly when it emerged in Bangladeshi market from the outside countries. Boys are somehow seems a little bit less effected by the Indian trends. They go with universal trend more, to my point of view.

Some of the Bangladeshi fashion boutique houses are trying their best to avoid the Indian culture and bring a fusion collection in their design with the folk and modern design. Jatra, Bibi Rassels Design, Shada-Kalo, Mayasir, Arong, Kay kraft are one of them. They are concentrating on more Bangladeshi element and design which also got the attraction of our generation.

Fashion is the reflection of each persons thought and how they want to carry their self in every day life. I am not against to see, learned or try the western style. No one should be in the globalization world. But my point why can’t we create something special from our own culture? When the time will be come to see that western countries are adopting our culture and wearing it as a fashionable part?

FOOD CRISIS: Rice-importing countries

The dramatic rise in world food prices has once again enforced lack of food to the top of the humanitarian agenda. The world is passing through a critical food crisis which has not affected the world for many decades. Already social uncertainty, political unrest and riots start off in many developing countries. Aid groups have long been warning about the consequences of trade imbalances and climate change, but food riots in Africa and Asia have finally brought the issue into the limelight.

The United Nations said for an every week100 million people are now urgently at risk of not having enough food to eat -- and that includes people on every continent of the world. The years 2007–2008 saw remarkable world food price rises, bringing a state of global crisis and causing political and economical instability and social unrest in poor and developed nations.

World Bank has warned that the present crisis will deepen and will create further deterioration in law and order situation in those countries.The rise in global food prices has sparked a number of protests in recent year, highlighting the worsening epidemic of global hunger. The World Bank estimates world food prices have risen 80 percent over the last three years and that at least thirty-three countries face social unrest as a result.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has warned the growing global food crisis has reached emergency proportions.generally causes for the world-wide food price enhance have been at present acknowledged a climate change, rising oil price, which has heightened the costs of fertilizers, food transport, and industrial agriculture, the increasing use of biofuels in developed countries and an increasing demand for a more varied diet (especially meat) across the expanding middle-class populations of Asia. These factors, coupled with falling world food stockpiles and instability brought about by the subprime mortgage crisis, have all contributed to the dramatic world-wide rise in food prices. In most of West Africa, the price of food has risen by 50 percent—in Sierra Leone, 300 percent.

The World Food Program has issued a rare $500 million emergency appeal to deal with the growing crisis. Several causes factor into the global food price hike, many linked to human activity. These include human-driven climate change; the soaring cost of oil food into fuel. Rice-importing countries Bangladesh, Vietnam and Afghanistan have been hit hardest, as the world's biggest rice producers including China, India and Indochina are restricting exports to protect their stocks and limit inflation.Bangladesh is facing its worst food shortages. Twice hit by severe flooding last year and devastating cyclone have left hundreds of families surviving on one meal a day after spending up to 80 percent of their income on food.

A recent riot at a textile factory near Dhaka, demanding higher wages to meet higher food prices, resulted in injuries to dozens of people, including the police. Rice prices are likely to keep rising for some time as production of the staple fails to keep up with soaring demand, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) said. The government failed to build enough stock of food immediately after last year's disasters; Economists estimate 30 million out of the Bangladesh's total population of 150 million could go hungry. It could become a serious political problem for the military-backed government also. The World Bank predicts that global demand for food will double by 2030.

Ornaments of Indian Fashion

The Indian woman's are very developed in there fashion. Not only dress also they are so serious there ornaments. Some ornaments are really nice for Indian woman.

Nose pin:More common than a nose ring, both are symbols of purity & marriage; though today many unmarried Indian girls wear this adornment.

Necklace:These are very popular fashion accessories across India amongst girls and women of all ages. Necklaces are made of a variety of materials, ranging from glass beads to gold and diamonds. One special necklace is the mangalasutra, worn only by married Indian women. It is the Indian equivalent of the western wedding ring. Traditionally a woman wore it during her wedding ceremony and took it off only if her husband died.

Bangles: Worn on the wrist, bangles are believed to be protective bands and women always wore them as symbolic guards over their husbands. As with other ornaments, bangles today are worn by women of all ages all over India and are made of silver, gold, wood, glass, and plastic, among other materials.

Rings: Rings, studs and other ornaments worn in the ears are popular all over the country. In fact, a girl's ears are usually pierced before her first birthday. Other important ornaments are finger rings, toe rings and anklets. Rings for the fingers are again, of various materials and designs and worn by unmarried and married women. Since the ring has become a common adornment, it is no longer considered a symbol in Indian Marriages.

However, toe rings and anklets are still worn mostly by married women. Ornaments for the feet are usually made of silver because gold, being a 'pure' metal, was not supposed to be worn on the feet. This privilege was given only to women of royal Indian families.

In addition to these ornaments is the 'mangatika' or 'tikli'. This ornament, worn at the top of the forehead in the parting of the hair, is usually a small pendant on the end of a chain that is clasped to the hair. Although traditionally this ornament was also worn as a symbol of marriage, today it is not so commonly worn even by married women.

Kajal or Eyeliner: From the time, a child is six days old, its mother applies kajal to its eyes and also a small black dot on the forehead to mar the child's beauty. This 'imperfection' is said to protect from evil.

City Life vs. Village Life

City life has got to be one of the most exciting places to live. Many people seem to think city life is too fast paced or too fake for them to enjoy a city life. Living in the city for me seems to be one of the most exciting places to be. Hearing all of the hustle and bustle going on out side of my house, seems to give me a since, that I am not alone in this world. There are many reasons any one love the city life, but there are three main reasons and they are entertainment, convenience, and people.
Entertainment is the most exciting part about city life. For instance, being able to go out and have a good time at any bar within walking distance from my house is one of the greatest pluses to living in the city.
On the other hand, a village is composed of small population that is not advanced whereas a city is very advanced and has large population. Life in a village is completely different from life in a city. This difference is like distinction between earth and sky. These lifestyles are totally different from each other. It is hard to find similarities between persons of different characteristics and same as with life in villages and cities. Cities are getting more advanced everyday and it has forced people to leave their village pride behind and become more city oriented. City and village life has characteristic that are similar and different.
Village life and city life are somewhat regional. People can't think of a life beyond the boundaries of their village or their city. Villagers think that villages are the best place to live, and people living in urban places think that they are more fortunate. There are some similarities between both locations. Children in the villages have their desires and ambitions like city children. They also want to be something in their lives. Villagers, like urban people, are also hard workers.

Which life is better...a village life or a city life?

I think a village life is better because it is more peaceful and relaxing. In a city one is always running around with the clock - life seems more hectic. Maybe there is more to do in a city life then in a village life when it comes to entertainment. But being in a village where life can be more relaxing is nicer.
My friend’s said……

Friend-1
The city is a fun place to visit but I prefer my village. I would miss my mountains and all the nature around me. And to the girl that said a village sounds like some sinister movie, it’s the same thing as a town!
Friend-2,
City life is the best one...........Because there's no possible facilities in the village side....they also should know what's going inside the cityso my opinion is to city......

The human being, feelings, and willpower.

Of all the previous discussion about willpower, a logical implication is slowly emerging: if the decisions we make do not depend on just one being or origin of will, it seems obvious that this is because this being does not exist.
In other words, the human being as a living being with an individual willpower does not exist. Human willpower is the consequence of the individual wills of a multitude of more elemental beings generated by a system of personal decisions.
In this sense, we could say: "I think, therefore I am not".
On the other hand, the idea of being human fits in perfectly with the concept of the vital impulse system.
The GTCEL book defines the vital impulse systems as those that, for one reason or another behave as if they were living beings, or at least, have a lot of the principal characteristics of living beings.
Likewise we have pointed out that superior animals can be considered as symbiotic macro-societies of more elemental units with their own life, like cells.
The order of intuitive proximity indicates that the first type of vital impulse systems is formed by those whose components are also living beings (nation, state, beehive, ecosystems).
All of the above makes us ask, "Where do we come from? Where are we going? Who are we?" These are very difficult to answer, perhaps impossible. It is like asking, "Where does a state come from? Where is a beehive going?"
These questions are not very relevant because we are talking about organizational forms. To be able to respond to these questions, first we should answer precisely, "What are we?"
From a strictly scientific point of view, we are animals that have evolved from monkeys and it seems as though our existence is only based on a vital impulse system.We cannot even continuously guarantee the existence of human beings from a spiritual point of view, given that, as we have seen in discussing the decision-making processes or formation of will, our different components or individual elements are not always in agreement nor do they have the same points of view or morals.
