• Legendary Band Moheener Ghoraguli Tapas Bapi Das' last founding member passes away.

    Tapas Bapi Das, the sole remaining founder member of the pioneering Indian Bangla rock band Moheener Ghoraguli and famous composer, guitarist, and music aficionado, died on Sunday morning after a battle with lung cancer. According to many media sources, he died at the SSKM Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal.

    Since 1974, Moheener Ghoraguli's band Tapas has transformed Bangla music with a unique blend of baul, jazz, folk, and rock music supplemented with beautiful, soulful sounds and profound lyrics. Tapas was one of West Bengal's most admired painters.

    He'd been fighting lung cancer for a time and was now in the third stage, undergoing chemotherapy. Since the news of his sickness surfaced in January, artists in both West Bengal and Bangladesh have been soliciting cash for his treatment, with the West Bengal government overseeing his care.

    On July 14, a fundraiser concert with 40 famous Bangladeshi performers was set to take place at Dhaka's Liberation War Museum.

    Tapas was born on September 22, 1954, in Kolkata, and was one of the original members of Moheneer Ghoraguli, along with Gautam Chattopadhyay, Ranjon Ghoshal, Pradip Chatterjee, Biswanath Bishu Chattopadhyay, Tapesh Bandopadhyay, and Abraham Mazumdar. This original lineup remained in place until 1978.

    Tapas became the creator and mentor behind the next-generation Bangla band Moheen Ekhon O Bondhura in 2015, after the band disbanded.

    Tapas is listed as a co-lyricist, composer, and performer on numerous Moheener Ghoraguli songs, including Haay, Bhalobasi, Bheshe Ashey Kolkata, Shudhijon Shono, Ayee Surey Bohudurey, and others.

    'Even though he lost his battle with cancer, he at least got to know about this initiative, and he expressed his joy when we first discussed this concert with him,' Eventholic, the organizer of the scheduled fundraising concert in Bangladesh for the legendary artiste, said on its official Facebook page. We also had him sign some t-shirts last night.'

    'A tribute concert will undoubtedly take place, since we genuinely want to stand beside his wife, Sutapa Das, and plans will be announced in two days,' said Sutapa Das. 'The show must go on,' the message states.

The glimpse of the trailer particularly reveals the relationship of the mystery guy with the children of the war (1971), which would possibly have a deep reference to the Liberation War, as well.

  • Russian Nobel Peace laureate slams against Putin’s ‘insane and criminal war’ on Ukraine.

    Russian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Yan Rachinsky slammed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “insane and criminal” act toward Ukraine in his award acceptance speech in the capital of Norway, Oslo on Saturday.

    Rachinsky, who is from Russia’s human rights organization Memorial, claimed that resistance to Russia is known as “fascism” under Putin, stating that it has been “the ideological justification for the ferocious and criminal war of aggression against Ukraine.”

    Memorial, one of Russia’s most renowned and respected human rights organizations, worked to expose the abuses and atrocities of the Stalinist time over three decades - before it was ordered to shut down by the country’s Supreme Court late in the last year.

    Ukrainian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk also called for an international tribunal against Putin. Also, Belarusian strongman Alexander Lukashenko in order to establish justice over “war crimes” in her award receiving text.

    Matviichuk, who received the award on behalf of her very own human rights organization, the Center for Civil Liberties in Ukraine, said this would be a good way to “ensure justice for those affected by the war.”

    Matviichuk warned that war criminals should not only be convicted after the fall of authoritarian regimes, saying - “justice can not wait.”

    Human rights groups from Russia and Ukraine – Memorial and the Center for Civil Liberties – were officially honored with the Nobel Peace Prize for 2022 on Saturday, along with the jailed Belarusian lawyer Ales Bialiatski. Bialiatski’s spouse collected his award on his behalf at the ceremony. The three winners will share the prize money of 10 Million Swedish Krona (equivalent to 900,000 USD).

    The new laureates were admired for “an outstanding effort to document war crimes, human right abuses and the abuse of power” in their respective countries.

    Marvel’s Moon Knight is finally here, and with it, a new universe of possibilities with a new collection of characters entering the popular MCU, including some divinities from Ancient Egypt mythology. With all this big historical setting, Moon Knight is certainly showing something new that goes a bit beyond the superhero lore to introduce some real mythical stories and characters passing through the Marvel treatment. Definitely, something that will attract history buffs and mythology fans to this already popular cinematic universe.

    Having said that, knowing who these gods and goddesses are, gives the story another dimension even though some liberties are taken in the marvelization of the characters. I will discuss these Ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses that have made it into the MCU in the last series Moon Knight but one by one.

    Of course, I will start this list with Khonshu, who is the first god to be introduced in the series and is the Egyptian deity that has the most connection with Steven Grant/Marc Spector in the Moon Knight story. So, without further ado, let's get into the mythical stories about Khonshu.

    As mentioned, Khonshu (or Khonsu) is the main deity reference since he is the one that uses Marc Spector as a body on Earth or as it’s known in the series, as his avatar, Moon Knight. In Egyptian Mythology, Khonsu was an ancient Egyptian moon god, emerging in texts as far back as 2350 BCE. The creator’s primary city of worship seems to be Thebes which is currently about 400 miles south of the capital, Cairo. Khonsu’s significance seems to have shifted throughout time. He was also considered to be a violent and bloodthirsty god, as well as a being thought to rule over evil spirits. Many scholars agree his name is derived from a word meaning “to cross” or “to travel.” However, in some versions, he is the one that controls evil forces and the one who can cause immense harm to human beings. This duality is what we’ll see in the series personified in the character of Marc/Steven.

    Stay tuned with whatsOn to know about other gods. See you in my next article.
