Rock veterans Indus Creed, Pentagram and Parikrama to perform at Independence Rock

Independence Rock, also referred to as the Woodstock of India, is making a belated comeback to the city. The three-decade-old festival will take place in November and feature 10 established and up-and-coming acts, including the legendary groups Indus Creed, Pentagram, and Parikrama. On November 5 and 6, a two-day concert will be held at Bayview Lawns in Mazgaon.

The festival began in 1986 nearly as an act of retaliation for being denied the opportunity to perform at the St. Xavier’s campus festival Malhar. Farhad Wadia, a devoted fan of rock and roll, built the venue, which later developed into a Mecca for music lovers in the city. He explains, “I moved to the US eight years ago, so I couldn’t do this every year.

But I’ve always wanted to return and do this every year. I’m happy that the magic of this festival will be experienced by a new generation of festival-goers.

“We love playing big rock songs to those that dig that kind of sound,” Indus Creed frontman Uday Benegal explains. We started making music for that reason, and we still do.

The occasion serves as a sort of homecoming for Parikrama and its founder Subir Malik. When asked if today’s kids can relate to their music, he replies, “We have performed all over the world. The smaller children are headbanging to our music in the front rows, says the 52-year-old.

“The festival has always been the breeding ground for truly independent music in India and I hope it regains its status as India’s crucible of new sounds,” says composer-singer Vishal Dadlani, who is also the main singer for the band Pentagram.

Newer bands like Aswekeepsearching, The Bloodywood, and Parvaaz, among others, will also be making their festival debuts alongside these mainstays. The band Aswekeepsearching is thrilled to play on these revered grounds and remarks, “When we were growing up, Independence Rock was thought of as the biggest stage for independent bands and performers. The roots of today’s independent music scene were laid by this music event. We’re honoured to take part in it.

Karwa Chauth: What to put in and what to leave out of your sargi thali for a nutritious fast

Karwa Chauth 2022: The day-long event that honours a husband and wife’s union is just one day away. On the fourth day of the Hindu lunar month of Kartik, the festival—also known as Karak Chaturthi in Sanskrit texts—is observed. Married women observe a day-long “nirjala” fast (without food or water) on Karwa Chauth.

which generally coincides with the festivals of Dussehra and Diwali, and pray nonstop for the long lives of their spouses from dawn to moonrise. When the moon rises, women break their fast by offering the moon a “ark” from their karwas (earthen pots), seeing their husbands’ faces through sieves, and then drinking and eating.

A pre-dawn meal called sargi is lovingly made by the mother-in-law for her bahu and presented in a thali before the fasting period begins. Sargi consists of seven, none, or eleven different sorts of bite-sized food items, including sweets, savouries, vegetable curries, fruits, rice, and roti. The purpose of the practise is to ensure that those who are fasting consume enough nourishing and hydrated items to support a healthy Karwa Chauth fast.

The food provided in the sargi thali will make it easier for the woman to fast without triggering any health issues like headaches or acidity. Fasting without food and drink can be difficult. Making the thali requires a mother-in-best law’s efforts because it involves more than simply sargi; it also involves emotion.

Here are some suggestions for including nutritious foods in your sargi ki thali and avoiding foods that might deplete your vitality. Probiotic drink: If fasting is not regularly practised, a day’s fast may result in digestive problems such bloating and hyperacidity. It is important to add a probiotic in the diet to prevent this.

    Incorporating a glass of buttermilk into the sargi thali is the simplest method to accomplish this. Add black salt, cumin powder, and asafoetida to the buttermilk to reduce bloating. This guarantees a gut that is balanced and free of gas or acidity.

    1. Maintain balance in your sargi thali: Think of the sargi thali as a healthy, balanced dish that is generally consumed on an ordinary day. Including a salad portion, one or two katori of sabji—this might be two different sabjis to give variety—a bowl of dal or lentil for protein and rotis and rice for the carbs—as well as a glass of buttermilk—are all required. Never forget to add ghee to the rice or lentils.
    2. Include hydrating items in your thali: Maintaining a healthy level of hydration throughout the day is essential for a successful fast. Dehydration during the day is inevitable if there are insufficient fluids in the thali. Dehydration can be brought on by foods that are overly sweet or oily. So attempt to substitute items high in water content for fruits with high fibre content. Include coconut water, muskmelon, or watermelon, for instance.
    1. Steer clear of sugary desserts: Kheer, a milk-based dessert, is frequently offered in sargi thalis. Make sure that it is prepared with other natural sugars, such as khandsari, jaggery, or honey, in moderation, rather than table sugar. Foods with a lot of sugar make people thirstier. These high-sugar foods are not recommended because there is no water consumption during the day.
    2. Steer clear of adding fried foods: Just like sugar, fatty meals tend to make you feel older than you are. The sargi thali generally includes fried items like puris, papadams, etc. Try substituting ghee.
