Descriptive Essay About Music
I grab the white headphones and put the EarPods into my ears. Then, I go through a variety of songs until my thumb lingers over the song "You
Know Me" by a band named Thunder Dreamer. Quickly, I click play and the world around me stops as the music enters my ears. The soft guitar
strums put an end to my over thinking and suppresses my feelings of sadness. By the time the vocals appear in the song, I can only think about music
and how happy I am in this moment. By this I mean that hearing music is the equivalent of being at peace. To be more specific, music puts me in every
place I've ever felt happiness, tastes as sweet as it sounds and relaxes my overwhelming thoughts.
With this said, I am on top of the world when I have the headphones in my ears. I feel as though I can do anything when I am blasting a song by
Cage the Elephant on my speaker. Whether I am listening through my headphones or on a speaker, the volume is always the highest it can be. This
way, the music penetrates through the walls and through every layer of skin on my body. I know this high level of noise is not good for me, but
the music is. Uniquely, music places me back into every dream I've ever forgotten. I am suddenly placed into the dream where I'm a kid and I am
laughing as my friends try to catch me in a game of tag. In a matter of three beats, I am a child again and I can only thank music for this. Moreover,
when I hear Frank Sinatra's voice playing from my "Classics" playlist, I am put back into the

Essay on Bollywood Movies
Bollywood movies are very popular for the "Romance" portrayed in their plot. Romance in Bollywood has evolved throughout the ages. But the one
thing, that has remained constant are the unofficial and official ban on any depiction that may suggest something which is not a part of the "Indian"
culture. Westernization was always shown as something negative and alien. Let's have a closer look at how Hindi cinema deals with this censorship
code that has been set up. Bollywood adopted a new way to recreate the same passion that usually a 'kiss' would generate; they substitute these by
song and dance routines. Songs are basically a description of the passionate seen with no suggestive visual imagery to aid it. It's left to the audiences'

For example in Shree 420(1950), Maya the female antagonist is shown as rich, westernized women, with no moral values. She is shown to wear
explicitly revealing clothes and have short hair. She drinks alcohol and also smokes. Flirting with men and dancing while inappropriately clad
around them, are also the other negative qualities she embodies. However, Vidya is the female protagonist who is completely the opposite, she's
traditional and educated. Responsibilities that she holds are looking after her disabled father and running a school. Her hair is long and she is
always traditionally dressed in saris. The contrasting visual imagery of Vidya and Maya lets the audience make a judgment of who portrays the
negative character quite clearly. Do not fail to notice that this outward depiction of good and bad is only in terms of the women. Raj the male lead
of the movie Shree 420, goes through a phase of corruption and greed, however, he is ultimately forgiven and given the benefit of the doubt. This
leads me to my next point about how 'Women" are sacrificed in movies just to pass out a social message. The message clearly states that any act
which is not "culturally accepted" will have bad consequences. In the movie Kati Patang, you are taken through the story of Madhavi, who runs away
to be with her lover on the day of her wedding. From that very moment, she encounters a series of unfortunate events. A secondary character from

Essay on Indian Music
Indian Music
The music of India is one of the oldest unspoken musical traditions in the world. The basis of for Indian music is "sangeet." Sangeet is a combination
of three art forms: vocal music, instrumental music (Indian music). Indian music is base upon seven modes (scales). It is probably no coincidence that
Greek music is also base upon seven modes. Furthermore, the Indian scales follow the same process of modulation (murchana) that was found in
ancient Greek music. Since Greece is also Indo–European, this is another piece of evidence for the Indo–European connection (Dance and music of
India).
The vocal tradition is especially strong in Indian music. It is understood that the song is probably the most ancient form of...show more content...
It is linked to the Sanskrit word "ranj" which means, "to colour" (Indian music). Therefore, rag may be thought of as an acoustic method of colouring
the mind of the listener with an emotion. It is not a tune, melody, scale, mode, or any concept for which an English word exists. It is instead a
combination of different characteristics. It is these characteristics, which define the rag. There must be the notes of the rag. They are called the swar
(Indian music). There must also be a modal structure. This is called that in North Indian music and mela in carnatic music (Carnatic music). There is
also the jati. Jati is the number of notes used in the rag. There must also be the ascending and descending structure. This is called arohana/avarohana.
Another characteristic is that the various notes do not have the same level of significance. Some are important and others less so. The important notes
are called vadi and samavadi (Indian music). There are often characteristic movements to the rag. This is called either pakad (Indian music).
The Indian rhythm is known as tal. Tal means "clap". The tabla (Indian drum instrument) has replaced the clap in the performance, but the term still
reflects the origin. The basic concepts of tal are tali, Khali,vibhag, matra, bol, theka, lay, sam, and avartan.
Tali are a pattern of clapping. In addition to the claps, there are also a number of

As Hindu mythology goes, Lord Vishnu had a devotee called Prahlad, who was the son of King Hriranyakashyap. The king did not approve of
Prahlad's devotion to Vishnu, before that to his own father. Hence, he tried several times to kill Prahlad, but the Lord miraculously saved him each
time. Hence, the king's sister tried tricking Prahlad into walking into a fire while herself clad in an invisible cloak to ward of the fire. However Lord
Vishnu saved his devotee, and Holika was burnt in the fire. The legend is the reason for the Holika Dahan, or burning an idol of Holika in a grand fire

Holi Case Study
As for the setting of Holi, I feel that setting of the park did contribute to the program because we know that parks are locations that unite and make
people interact and socialize with each other when there are activities occurring throughout the park. So in the case of this program, it received a variety
of individuals that are Indians and others that are not, which relates to this quotation "you can't change people. But if you change the environment then
the people will change"(Eisner, pg. 107), which explains that the people that are from different cultures that attended Holi will adapt to the setting as
they enter the event. The berm of this program would be that booths were set up in a box shape and where I entered from was elevated,

Essay About Fiestas
Fiestas are best in the Philippines because people has the sense unity and it reflects their beliefs. Filipinos love fiestas. Here in our country,
Philippines, we can witness different festivals in each and every corner of our region. However, even Fiestas look as if our own, these have originally
come from Spaniards. When Spanish missionaries entered the Philippines during the mid–1500s, they found that the fiesta was a convenient tool to
help teach Filipinos the Roman Catholic faith. That is why, in the Philippines and many other former Spanish colonies, the Spanish word fiesta is used
to denote a communal religious feast to honor a patron saint (Wikipedia, n.d). The Philippines have adapted this and it is now part of our culture and
tradition....show more content...
It sounds normal and there is nothing special about it anymore because even our ancestors practiced this before. It is not also a problem because we
are hospitable and we have the innate ability to entertain our guests. The Bayanihan, on the other hand, happens especially when we help each other
cooking foods, setting places or organizing events ––– there's unity between us. These characteristics of ours prove our country's slogan "It's more fun
in the Philippines" is accurate, most especially in the eyes of foreign people. It is undeniably true that many tourists enjoy to stay here and some of
them actually visit our country intentionally just to witness the colorful and unique fiestas we have. They surely do not regret their decision for
choosing the Philippines because their experience is guaranteed to be priceless and the best. There's a lot of hanging colorful bunting anywhere, the
loud noises from the live bands or karaokes set under the tents, the laughs shared by everyone and the indefinite stories people talked, these things
make us feel the presence of the real fiesta and this is the quality which makes our country stands out among other nations. While there are thousands
of fiestas around the world, there is only one kind of festival like ours. This is the perfect time to showcase our talents and promote the

Ramayana Essay
Ramayana
Ramayana and some of the Hindu virtues derived from it The poetic author, Valmiki, does not calls Rama "the perfect man" in his well known tale of
Ramayana for no reason. For this story has been a legendary epic that many generations of the Hindu culture have been modeling their society after,
for over two thousand years. It has been an influential teaching for children and scholars of all ages because of its simplicity and exemplary concepts
and virtues of the Hindu people. From childhood most Indians learn the characters and incidents of this epic and they furnish the morals, ideals and
wisdom of common life. This epic helps to bind...show more content...
He handles the situation with remarkably patient and wise attitude and says to his stepmother, "I gladly obey father's command ...Why, I would go
even if you ordered it.". By doing this, he shows characteristics of great piety to his parents and the lack of desire to be a powerful and authoritative
rich ruler, all while knowing that he is giving up his righteous turn to rule the kingdom since he is the oldest of the four sons of the king. Instead, he
willingly goes off into exile – forest infested with evil spirits whom he battles with the power of good and defeats. As in most of the Eastern world,
this example of respect being paid to elders, parents, authorities (no matter what one is commanded to do) is very important in one's 'faith'; and the fact
that one successfully wards off evil, gives him/her the title of a cultural model hero, just as seen in Rama's case. Rama's casual attitude about going off
into the forest for fourteen years also shows his asceticism – the will to give up his material, emotional and physical attachments. His peaceful and
patient attitude towards his life is vivid due to his enduring wisdom. For he goes beyond the material and physical world

According a popular myth, the origin of this day lies in the fight against Nian, a beast in Chinese mythology. The beast would visit cities and eat
cattle, crops, and even people. In order for families to protect themselves from the beast, they would place food at their doorsteps so that the beast
would not harm them. One day during a family dinner, the family noticed how the beast was startled by seeing the color red. Word of this spread to
other friends and family. Soon, from then on, on the first day of every New Year, people would hang red paper lanterns and other red objects to scare
off the beast. They would also light bamboo stalks in order to scare the beast away. After some time, the beast stop coming to the city all together.
However, by this time relatives and family had already adopted the habit of getting together to protect each other from the beast.
Looking back at ancient civilization, fireworks, elaborate performances, or decorations had not been invented or developed. These rituals that are
associated with the tradition today were added throughout the years. It was because of time that people started incorporating ideas that were added on
along with the festival. Therefore you were lucky and fortunate to spend Chinese New Yearwith

But I can certainly see how others might, when they are twisting and misconstruing information. Here is an example. I wrote, "It's like saying "all

unfair and untrue statement, "All Muslims are terrorists." But someone makes a webpage about it, and all of a sudden its "Scarlett Is Anti Muslim"
and then that statement has babies and all of a sudden I'm misrepresented. Really easy to do. Here is an example taken from the page that started this
whole thing for me: "Death to the Rape Victim (Deuteronomy 22:23–24 NAB) If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has
relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help
though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife." It is clear that God doesn't give a damn about the rape victim. He is
only concerned about the violation of another mans "property". That last bit is the author of the webpage's opinion. ( I did a quick search on this
fellows page to see if I could find out his accreditations, not surprisingly there are none. Also not surprising is his unwillingness to respond to his

Speech On Value Of Diversity
Diversity is defined as "a state of being different" however, the meaning extends further than just culture and race. It is a concept which revolves around
acceptance and respect. Understanding each individual, their tradition, their belief, their uniqueness, and their importance in the community builds up

there are similar ideas and concepts that can bring them together, a wall of hatred and dominance is futile. Hence, the wall must be demolished keeping
all the differences apart, and shaking their hands in the name of unity and

Descriptive Essay About A Festival
My excitement was almost palpable as I drove past Lake Okeechobee, watching sunlight bounce reflectively off the massive body of water. My 6
best friends and I were moments away from entering into the majestic festival land. Entering the festival grounds, we where bursting with
excitement and energy, partly because we were sitting still in a cramped car for 2 hours. The car was moving only several inches per minute, but as
the car took covered more territory, so did my eagerness. There were only a couple of feet distancing our car from the next; everyone else was as
enthusiastic as I. I saw smiles and excitement and heard electronic music in the background, all while sitting and waiting in a vehicle. It can to my
realization that this was the first time I was surrounded by a whole spectrum of unique people. Some attendees looked like they had just stepped out of
a Madonna music video, with neon colored clothes and asymmetrical patters; others wore shorts and a tank top. However, there were two similarities
among us: we came to dance to each beat of the music and we all suffered from the humid, swampy, hot weather.
Although my friends and I wanted to park the car and head straight to the festival, we had some housekeeping to do. Three tents and a camp area later,
we were ready to start dancing to the electronic music and enjoying our three day festival weekend. The summer heat was unbearable, as the humidity
engulfed the air and the sunrays kept reluctantly burning our

Essay On Bhagavad Gita
Chapter 3: The Bhagavad–Gita
The Bhagavad–Gita is considered as one of the oldest religious writings in the whole world. Hindus believe that it contains God's message, similar to
the Bible and the Quran. In general, this scripture is a dialogue between the Supreme God and one of his devotees. This conversation was originally
recorded in Sanskrit, but it has been translated to many languages over the years. This particular religious scripture is full of ancient myths, legends,
traditions, and other writings. Its content is closely connected to Krishna's life here on earth.
Brahman lived on earth as Krishna in order to defeat evil and encourage humans to practice dharma (i.e. righteous living). He left his message in the
form of Bhagavad–Gita so that humans will have a clear guideline as to how to live their lives. The conversation between Krishna and Arjuna can play
an important role in minimizing the pain and suffering experienced by every human being.
The core principles of the Bhagavad–Gita serve as the foundation of Hinduism. Its pages contain Brahman's message regarding faith, detachment,
devotion, correct knowledge, and performance of tasks. It also contains valuable lessons on how to avoid an ego–centered life. This kind...show more

An individual must perform his duties according to his nature (swadharmacharana). The next secret talks about the hidden personality of humans.
