Margazhi Raagam


People from all over the world come to Chennai in the Tamil month of Margazhi (Dec 15 to Jan 15) to experience the music that mingles with the chill and mist in the air. Hundreds of concerts everyday for 30 days makes the Chennai music festival one of a kind in the world.
At first, Aghal Movies Tamil film Margazhi Ragam may seem like a random collection of Carnatic concert compositions put together in a vaguely interesting fashion. The genius behind the feature is apparent to you only much later, as you truly get into the mood of the piece, along with the artistes.

Music, after all, is the food of gods and the common man.

Tinga Tinga


Tinga Tinga is African primitive flat work. These days there are various Tinga Tinga schools of painting - from intricate and detailed animals intertwined with the feathers of peacocks, to tourist-oriented work with simple stylized characters at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Both are nice and have their unique appeals.




These fantastic works from a site http://www.tingatinga.org/  Look there more!
