The Pirates of the Arabian



Ballad of Pirate Paranã



I was admiral, loyal of the empire,
Sent to conquer land like a black vampire,
But I was against killing existing civilization,
So I conquer land with ono civilization,
Settlers came from the empire, streets became busy,
But the empire started exploiting people, very easy,
So we revolt & declare independence,
I'll be the victor, it was my confidence,
I went to the sea to stop the invasion,
I won the battle, with three is to one equation,
After looting the empire's ship, I found it fun,
And there I became, the Pirate of Arabian.

Speculative Hindu Temple Architecture: Modern style

India has a wonderful variety of Hindu temple architectures. Each style evolved from previous one during a particular era and under a particular cultural influence. But after colonial period, the style stopped evolving further and all later modern temples we see today have borrowed heavily from the styles that existed before. Although there are a few hipster styles today, but still it’s little bland if you compare it with the kind of architectures that existed before. So, how would’ve been Hindu temple architecture of today’s India if we follow its pattern? But first let’s check out all types of Hindu temple architecture styles in India and abroad.

Indian Mythical Creatures II

My earlier post “ Indian Mythical Creatures ” stated the similarities between the mythical beings of India and that of the western countries. Now I have found more similarities. These mythical beings are very commonly seen but we ignore them. Hollywood filmmakers still use these creatures in movies and hence they are part of the Popular Culture just like ware-wolf and vampires and witches. These are Griffin, Sphinx, dragons etc. They also had Indian counterparts as well. But as we have not preserved and presented them in movies properly these creatures and unknown. The European creatures and their Indian counterparts are as follows: Indian Griffin Griffin(European):- Griffins are partly eagle and partly lion with body of lion but wings and head of an eagle. These creatures were and still are used in emblems, coat of arms of European countries and also in stories and movies like Harry Potter series. Sharabha [ शरभ ]:-   This Indian counterpart of Griffin is mentioned in the Hi...

Indian Mythical Creatures

Like other countries India have its own folk lore. Many of them are based on Vedic religion or Hinduism, Jainism & Buddhism. There are many non-human creatures portrayed in the mythologies like Rakshasa, Vanara, Naga, Yaksha, Astomi, Gandharva, Asura, Preta, Vritra(Dragon) and many more. Some of them have relation with creatures of other regions like Europe, China and Japan etc while some of them are found in urban legends. Here’s what I think about it. Vanara:   Ape like humanoid, with brains & capacities like humans, who helped Rama in war against Ravana in epic Ramayana. Although these creatures are considered as mythical still they shows signs that they could exist. They could be the “Yetis” who dwell in Himalayas. According to legend yetis are those apes like people who like in groups, have backbone like humans & can speak language. Although it is not proved that they exist, if considered they have great similarities with Vanara. Yaksha:   They are myth...
