Trance In Delhi

If you find a DJ who is continuously bringing out the best of the genre (or sound) you like, hold onto him/her like a baby. There's just so much noise all around, discovering good music should be a skill worth highlighting on your LinkedIn profile.

Trust @ben_lost to make a killer music video with this.

Just in case if any of you wants to know why this track caught my attention, hear a preview yourself - junodownload.com/products/sasha…

Came across this UK based duo of James & Bryn together known as @cortescomusic. Their due for release collab with @sashaofficial - U Disappear caught my attention. Turns out they have been belting out some really slick music since past few years. music.youtube.com/channel/UC5HiR…

I concur. This space is no longer conducive for a healthy discussion or even banter.

Thank @X for restricting the use of “Ask Grok” feature to only paid subscribers. This might push people to do some basic research on their own, and hopefully force them to put their grey cells to some better use. @nikitabier

#BREAKING Delhi Court discharges Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in the corruption case related to alleged liquor policy scam. Court raps CBI for implicating them without any material, says voluminous chargesheet has many lacunae not supported by any witness or statement. @ArvindKejriwal @AamAadmiParty @msisodia

One of those days when I should just let some good music blast at considerable high volume and bring some of my lost sanity back. youtu.be/M4CbNVbQbpM?si…

Faqir Chand bookstore is an institution in itself in Delhi. The bookstore alone has touched lakhs and if not million lives since its inception in 1951 when Khan Market started. Anup ji carried that legacy very well. Our condolences to Mamta ji, Abhishek & Abhinav. Om sadgati.

Tomorrow Vijyant (Robin) will be 49 years old, though he will look 22 forever. (26 Dec 1976- 29 Jun 1999)

This post on traditional medicine from our honorable PM has 19K likes. As an Indian citizen, I am going to go ahead and say a few things that may not be appetizing. Apologies for the long post. 19K likes and 1000s of comments "appreciating" this absolutely useless post which means nothing shows the abyssmal science literacy of Indian populace online. I am not blaming this Govt only, and all Govts are to blame for keeping pseudoscience alive and a "career option" for young minds in India - but I will clearly saw that Govt is the one who really kickstarted this brain rot. These so-called "Summits" , "Deep Discussions" and "Bilateral Meetings" on herbal/traditional medicine, and Ayush are as important as toiler paper is, for the dining table. This whole "eye-wash" is just to keep the emotions among public alive on AYUSH (especially Ayurveda). Since the 10+ years this Govt has been in powder, there has been ZERO clinically beneficial output in Traditional Medicine that has changed medicine. It has always been these "Summits" or "MoUs - Memorandum of Understanding" with "Institutes of National Reputes" - like AIIMS , PGI Chandigarh, IITs or JIPMER and NIMHANS. These MoUs have also resulted in ZERO clinically relvant outcomes in medicine and research from India by AYUSH sector. In fact these MoUs have actually resulted in complete destruction of institutes of repute. In 2017, it was reported that scientists at AIIMS, Delhi, received government funding to research the medicinal value of Panchgaavya - a mixture including cow urine and feces. However, a faculty member, responding to viral claims, stated that AIIMS's Animal Ethics Committee would not permit such experiments. Similarly, this Govt promoted research into cow derivatives through the "Scientific Validation and Research on Panchgavya" (SVAROP) program, which has received proposals from institutions like IIT Delhi - as if this was what IITs where made to do. It is pathetic. NIMHANS, the best neurosciences institute in the country was hijacked by traditional medicine (AYUSH) and is now offering public/ patients "integrated healthcare" which includes a bunch of pseudoscience packages. JIPMER, once a shining post-graduate medical institute is now offering "integrated course" - where students can learn both modern medicine AND Ayurveda together and ruin their lives as well as their patients. Just like these wasted programs, this "Summit" will also cater to the post-truth era that has taken over Indian healthcare and research - where feelings and emotions are more important than science, research and discovery. To give you an idea of how things must be, The Kerala State Govt. recently developed the Centre of Excellence in Microbiome (kscste.kerala.gov.in/centre-of-exce…) that will study population-level microbiota and help improve our understanding of non-communicable diseases and develop precision microbial therapies. The State Govt is also developing a dedicated ₹643.88-crore organ transplant institute in Kozhikode (thehindu.com/news/national/…). These are the "Summits" and "Meetings" that matter, not this worthless Traditional Medicine circus you always put out. And wHO is doing this because India funds them and they are partly a political organization, not a pure scientific one. The brain rot people who keep appreciating you in the comments do not even realize this fact. Look at India's organ transplant status when it comes to patient level - there is not a single valuable national or core organ transplant center in the central government institute. All these AIIMS, PGIs - and not a single proper core transplant program. Dont you think the Indian public deserve better than these tradition and culture based eye-washing and white-washing of pseudoscience? Or maybe the current majority among the public deserves this circus and nonsese only and others are forced to ride shotgun. Food for thought.

In India, they hate Gandhi but abroad, they claim to come from Gandhi's India. In India, they want a Muslim boycott but abroad, they flaunt their friendship with Muslim leaders. In India, they talk of an exclusive Hindu Rashtra but abroad, they talk about Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. It's like clockwork.

Hello @congratstothe.

Finally some respite from the rains today. Had my Jaadu moment this morning.

@CMEindia @shakira

Global Music Icon, Shakira rumoured to perform in India this year. 🇮🇳 Rumour or reality? Either way, we’re manifesting @shakira LIVE in India this year.

@RonnieTheWalker Hey Ronnie, I am fine. Thanks. How have you been? Yup, TATW truly was miles ahead of ABGT in terms of it's depth in music. However, it was all part of the shift that forced most music producers to ditch their old sound & adapt to the more commercially succesful bigroom sound.

@TranceInDelhi Am glad you said it. How have you been. Life never was the same after it became ABGT. I lost the love long ago. I don’t even feel the urge to dig anymore. Remember Thursdays? GDJB > ASOT > Mike Push. 5 hours of solid music on di.fm and loads of ID discussion

Life was good when this radio show was a thing.

@breezingwinds Hii Hiiie!

@deeppotter Hello Tambe bhau, howdy?

@TranceInDelhi Hi

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to everyone celebrating today! May the remover of obstacles clear hurdles and self doubts from the lives of people who have an awesome taste in life and music. One of those times of the year when I miss Mumbai too much. गणपति बप्पा मोरया, मंगल मूर्ति मोरया
