Relax your mind and enliven your soul with yoga 0

Posted on December 19, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

Yoga is a time old practice which originated in India some five thousand years ago. Since its origin, yoga aims to radiate peace and tranquility within the mind, body and soul. Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘yuj’ which essentially means to join or unite. Thus, yoga refers to the self uniting of an individual with cosmic consciousness or the Universal Whole. Yoga Poses (Asanas), Meditation (Dhyana) and proper breathing practice (Pranayama) are the keys to yoga. When these three entities collaborate, a yoga practitioner is guided to a journey of deep spiritual insight. Practicing yoga paves the holistic path and help you to connect yourself to the Omnipotent. With passing time, yoga has become a non-denominational concept, that is, it has become an integral part of all religions. Spiritual oneness or unity with the Supreme is the ultimate preaching of all religions and yoga as a doctrine upholds this concept of oneness. There are different kinds of yoga like Hatha Yoga, Bikrama Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga and each kind of yoga are unique in their own ways but all leads to a similar spiritual goal.

Our minds have a tendency to wander and ponder. We tend to worry about the future or get upset about our past. This results in stress and anxiety, which not only disrupts the mental harmony but also have a profound negative effect on our physical health. At such a crux, yoga practices help us to attain a state of self actualization when the feelings of “I, me and mine” transcends into a selfless awareness of “Thy, Thee and Thine”. The simple practices of asana, pranayama and dhyana leads a yoga practitioner to achieve a state of optimal physical health and bless him a state of peace.

Different kinds of yoga help a person to rise from their immediate, present state of consciousness. The individual move forward gradually to experience a state of wholeness, well being and enlightenment. When coupled with soothing music, yoga

Road Movies of Note 0

Posted on December 05, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

The Road Movie, we’ve all seen at least one either knowingly or not and it serves as a good tool for the writer and or director to show a change in the protagonist over the course of a journey. It gives a blank canvas against which characters can be revealed as separate from their environment in ways that films shot in specific locations don’t always offer.


Road movies tend to follow a set structure – there is a challenge to be met along the journey, new knowledge and allies are gained – and traditionally end with the protagonist(s) reaching their destination changed for the experience or deciding to keep on with their journey.


There are literally hundreds of examples of road movies but decidedly few of a high quality, some well known, others not. Road movies blossomed after World War 2 with America’s post-war boom and the growing automobility of the youth culture. With their roots back in spoken and written tales of journeys such as Homer’s Odyssey, the Road Movie really took off as a genre in the 1960s with the release of the much loved Easy Rider.


Released in 1969, Easy Rider was a road film that roared at the establishment and documented the rise and fall of the hippie movement. The counterculture film explored the American social landscape of the end of the sixties. Two bikers, Wyatt and Billy – played by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper – have smuggled drugs from Mexico to Los Angeles and decide to head to New Orleans in time for Mardi Gras, with the proceeds of the drugs sale stuffed into the fuel tank of Wyatt’s chopper.


On their journey across America, Wyatt and Billy encounter a hitch-hiker heading home to the commune he lives in, get thrown in jail only to be freed with the help of drunken lawyer George (played by Jack Nicholson), the death of a friend when George is beaten to death when the trio are attacked in the night and a whorehouse in New Orleans.

Roger Daltrey 0

Posted on December 05, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

Early years

Roger Harry Daltrey was born in the Hammersmith area of London, but was raised in Acton, the same working class suburban neighborhood that produced fellow Who members Pete Townshend and John Entwistle. He was one of three children born to parents Irene and Harry Daltrey, and grew up with two sisters, Gillian and Carol. Harry Daltrey worked for a water closet manufacturer, and Irene Daltrey was told she would be unable to have children because of losing a kidney in 1937. Nevertheless, she went into labour during a World War II air raid and gave birth to her son at the nearby Hammersmith Hospital, West London. At the age of three, the young Roger swallowed a rusty nail which had to be surgically removed, leaving a visible scar. At the age of five, the rust from the nail caused an ulcer in his stomach which required him to be hospitalised.

Daltrey attended Victoria Primary School and then Acton County Grammar School for boys along with Pete Townshend and John Entwistle. He showed academic promise in the English state school system, ranking at the top of his class on the eleven plus examination that led to his enrollment at the Acton County Grammar School. His parents hoped he would eventually continue on to study at the university, but Daltrey turned out to be a self-described “school rebel” and developed a dedicated interest in the emerging rock and roll music scene instead.

He made his first guitar from a block of wood and formed a skiffle band called The Detours. When his father bought him an Epiphone guitar in 1959, he became the lead guitarist for the band and soon afterward was expelled from school for smoking. Describing the post-war times, Pete Townshend wrote in his autobiography, “Until he was expelled, Roger had been a good pupil. Then he heard Elvis and transmogrified into a Teddy Boy with an electric guitar and a dress-sneer. Was it simply rock roll? It was obvious to a young man as intelligent as
