A Musical Breaktime from the Primaries. "Chamak Cello"

[Katashi_itto]

From the Indian Sci Fi Movie "Ra One" Think a singing and dancing Tony Stark...

"Chamak Cello" Means "Sizzling Siren" in Indian

1. Why is Bollywood so cool?

Because it is.

Not so sure about this because I am a monoglot. But I kind of like this one
(except for that dude's haircut).

Nevertheless, a worthwhile R&K, and yes, a refreshing diversion from hyper intranicine political warfare.

I might add, there's always room for cello.

Another cello diversion, if one desires it.

Thank you for this.


on edit: I like the first one better, in spite of the commercial message at the end.

2. Awesome!!! I have never heard this!

[longship]

3. And thank you too, for your post.

Diversions are always welcome, especially when they expand ones horizons.

My best to you.

5. You too! It's Friday off to Iaido Practice in a few hours!! Thank god!

Practice is always the high point of my week.

8. Iaido: (Hope this explains. The Japanese art of the use of the sword )

I am a ranking Iaidoka. Sort of like having a black belt in Judo or Aikido, but in sword use.

Iaido (居合道 Iaidō?), abbreviated with iai (居合?), is a modern Japanese martial art and sport that emphasizes being aware and capable of quickly drawing the sword and responding to a sudden attack.

Iaido is associated with the smooth, controlled movements of drawing the sword from its scabbard (or saya), striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard. While beginning practitioners of Iaido may start learning with a wooden sword (bokken) depending on the teaching style of a particular instructor, most of the practitioners use the blunt edged sword, called iaitō. Few, more experienced, iaido practitioners use a sharp edged sword (shinken).

Practitioners of iaido are often referred to as iaidoka.

10. Think of it as sort of Yoga with a sword.

Its the other side of the coin to my other martial art Kendo:

11. Whoa!

Love the garments.
Does 'men' refer to the area you are striking?

[Katashi_itto]

12. There are three valid targets in Kendo.

"Men" Head, "Doh" Chest and "Kote" wrists.

If you are fighting a naginataka (Sword spear) then shins count

Triva fact. All the basic light saber moves are taken from Kendo. Once they start twirling though that's just theatrics. The Jedi outfights are thought to be inspired by Kendo gi and hakamas

Frankly, if your busy twirling your lightsaber. I would cut you in half with my plain katana.

13. Samurai Champloo!

I like the footwork.
They sound like John Belushi as Samurai Futaba

I hope she survives.
