Book Synopsis Raga - an Epic of Love and War by : Tetulia Kaza
Download or read book Raga - an Epic of Love and War written by Tetulia Kaza and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-18 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force? It happens when Dante meets Raga. ''Raga'' is an exquisite and passionate experience, remains an unspoken mystery and an unsolvable enigma, an esoteric tale that takes a lifetime to unravel. It is a Historical Romance Fiction, a haunting tale of a man against himself and a powerful woman against the world, the tale of how love blooms in the fires of war. It is a work of fiction and romance, on the journey of a General''s battle against his King. Dante is thrust on a path, leading him to the King''s daughter, the love he had left behind before a decade. But it takes a lot more than just morality and valor for them to kill the men they loved in a battle just to restore something as fragile as peace and justice. It was not his war; it was his penance. And yet, after it all, the greatest of the wars is within hearts and the best stories end in a quiet journey home. Excerpts from the book: Dialogues: "I will miss you in the quietest way possible" "I think I will remember you when it is dawn, and when it is dusk. And whenever I see the stars in the sky". "Me? When I look at the lilac skies, endless waters and the stars, I just see how infinitesimally small we are" "It is the time to break all promises in the world" "I forgive the world because you exist." "For the sins, we do in the name of love." Passages: "It was just love." He whispered, shaking his head. "Yes." she said. "It is not like I can''t live without you", he said with a sad smile. "Yes." Raga turned to him, nodding slowly. "But do I have to?", Dante asked in a small voice, as he turned away. He gave a brief laugh. Raga gave a soft smile as she nodded and swept the hair that fell on her face. It was a long time ago when they shared silence over fresh morning coffee. "Is this a good ending?" Raga looked at him sadly. "It is a very sad ending when you don''t want someone to leave" "Sagar." Dante breathed. "He will be a lot of peace. Not fire". "Would you have rather it was someone else?" She had meant the entirety of the story, every moment of the agony. "No. I wouldn''t wish it upon anyone but me," Dante smiled. Prologue: "When time wrote the forgotten tale of a General''s war against his King, for a fragile balance between what he saw as good and evil; destroying him to the edges of his frayed soul, it wept. When time painted a tale for every imaginable pain in the world, it yearned to paint him. As it spiraled down Dante''s Inferno, Paradisio and Purgatorio, it couldn''t even grasp the canvas anymore. When it couldn''t, a woman could. When she did, it was nothing more than a faded reverie of words, memories and an aftertaste of gory". From the Author: I wanted my life to be a painting of watercolours. The softness, the paleness, it felt exactly like love and warmth. Like a hug. Later, I had accepted that even soft pastel painting was okay with its exquisite shades. But life was Acrylic, and oil painting. Heavy and dark. In between all of this, ''Raga'' somehow happened. We must have read thousands of books in our lives. I remember half my life reading cheap books from thrift books, cheap novels from the roadsides, cheap books on kindle and then the bestsellers, the bestselling books on kindle and the list goes endless. Through this, I saw that none really stayed in me. I wanted to write the one novel that would live with every soul who reads it. I spill my soul, word by word. Years later, I realize that whatever you write, there will always be a million other books that would mean more, and that doesn''t mean you have failed. And without fear, for the first time in my life, I open up to the world through ''Raga''.

Download or read book Sex and Power written by Rita Banerji and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2008-11-14 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Sex underlies human existence, and if human life is sacred, how can sex not be?’ As squeamish as India is today about sex, this is also the land where queens once copulated with head horses at religious ceremonies, where the art of love-making was declared the revelation of the gods and recorded in elaborate detail in the kama sutras and prostitution was a form of sacred offering at temples adorned with erotic sculptures. Using India as a paradigm, Rita Banerji illustrates that sexual morality is not an absolute but a facet of living that undergoes periodic upheavals. She delineates four major periods in Indian history when there were significant shifts in the collective social perception of sex and sexuality, and the associated customs and beliefs. What causes this revision in sexual ethos? To explain this, Sex and Power proposes a modified version of Nietzsche’s slave versus master morality theory. The theory, which is tested against the dynamics of each of the four defined periods, establishes that the moral overview of any given period is determined not by a set of pre-existing ethics but by the existent power structure of the period in question. The accepted moral code actually serves the party in power. How would this theory play out in the context of India today? Banerji examines this question at length as one of extreme urgency, and concludes that the three most burning issues facing the country today—population explosion, AIDS and female genocide—are the manifestations of a collective sexual malfunctioning of society and need to be redressed in the context of an existent social and economic power hierarchy.
Book Synopsis Advances in Music Information Retrieval by : Zbigniew W Ras
Download or read book Advances in Music Information Retrieval written by Zbigniew W Ras and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-02-28 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sound waves propagate through various media, and allow communication or entertainment for us, humans. Music we hear or create can be perceived in such aspects as rhythm, melody, harmony, timbre, or mood. All these elements of music can be of interest for users of music information retrieval systems. Since vast music repositories are available for everyone in everyday use (both in private collections, and in the Internet), it is desirable and becomes necessary to browse music collections by contents. Therefore, music information retrieval can be potentially of interest for every user of computers and the Internet. There is a lot of research performed in music information retrieval domain, and the outcomes, as well as trends in this research, are certainly worth popularizing. This idea motivated us to prepare the book on Advances in Music Information Retrieval. It is divided into four sections: MIR Methods and Platforms, Harmony, Music Similarity, and Content Based Identification and Retrieval. Glossary of basic terms is given at the end of the book, to familiarize readers with vocabulary referring to music information retrieval.

Book Synopsis Making Musical Time by : Guerino Mazzola
Download or read book Making Musical Time written by Guerino Mazzola and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive examination of the conception, perception, performance, and composition of time in music across time and culture. It surveys the literature of time in mathematics, philosophy, psychology, music theory, and somatic studies (medicine and disability studies) and looks ahead through original research in performance, composition, psychology, and education. It is the first monograph solely devoted to the theory of construction of musical time since Kramer in 1988, with new insights, mathematical precision, and an expansive global and historical context. The mathematical methods applied for the construction of musical time are totally new. They relate to category theory (projective limits) and the mathematical theory of gestures. These methods and results extend the music theory of time but also apply to the applied performative understanding of making music. In addition, it is the very first approach to a constructive theory of time, deduced from the recent theory of musical gestures and their categories. Making Musical Time is intended for a wide audience of scholars with interest in music. These include mathematicians, music theorists, (ethno)musicologists, music psychologists / educators / therapists, music performers, philosophers of music, audiologists, and acousticians.
