Continuing our Kapoor series, we discuss Shashi Kapoor's family in this episode: wife and actress Jennifer Kendal and their children Karan, Kunal, and Sanjana. If you know anything about them at all, it's probably that they all launched in films and never went anywhere as actors, but we watched a film starring each of them to flesh out that story. Jennifer, of course, was an accomplished stage actor before her marriage to Shashi, and when she chose to dip her toes back in acting, you can see the talent! Films discussed: Junoon (1978), 36 Chowringhee Lane (1981), Vijeta (1982), Sultanat (1986) (read Beth's essay here https://antiserious.com/sultanat-the-epic-of-fictitioustan-bf1f42c80838), and Hero Hiralal (1988) Have you seen any of these films?

Junoon Take Us Down Memory Lane...With over 30 million albums sold worldwide, and over 2 decades in the music industry, our guests today are the unmatched Sufi rock band ‘Junoon' performing live at Coca-Cola Arena on October 6th. Welcome to the show!

For Executive Chef Akshay Bhardwaj, becoming a chef was not always the plan. It took perseverance and a little bit of defiance for him to rise in the ranks and become the Executive Chef of Junoon, which at one time was the only Michelin Star restaurant in New York City serving Indian food.   In this episode, you will hear about Akshay's path to cooking, how he approaches collaborations with other chefs, and where he finds inspiration for dishes when traveling.     Grey Interviewer: Samantha Geller, Senior Project Manager and Podcast Producer 

Book 02 Faqeer Rung - Session 08 - Ikhlaas, Junoon, Adab

I have attempted a favourite song from the Hindi film Junoon (1979), which evokes some.charming scenes traditionally associated with a North Indian monsoon, especially in rural communities. Set to a lilting folksy melody, the lyrics in the colloquial Hindi of Uttar Pradesh describe the feelings that the dark clouds and cool breezes of the monsoon evoke in a young woman, after the searing heat of the Indian summer. The monsoon weather makes her romantic and playful. The singer describes how the buds of the jasmine and bela flowers begin to open in this season and release their heady fragrance. Tree branches sway with the movement of rope swings as the singer and other young women swing joyfully, their green 'chunaris' refusing to stay demurely on their heads, while their bangles tinkle as they move. The singer can't escape the rain and doesn't want to. Apparently complaining, she actually is enjoying getting drenched in the courtyard and terrace of her home. What is more, her lover's bed (placed in the courtyard or terrace as was the practice in the warm weather) also gets soaked in the gently falling showers of the monsoon along with her crisp, dry cotton chunari.

Born in Queens, Akshay Bhardwaj studied business at Fordham University and Baruch College, and then pivoted to his passion: cooking. His ascension in the culinary world was extraordinary; between 2012 and 2017, he worked his way from working the line to executive chef at Junoon. Junoon was awarded one Michelin Star eight consecutive years from 2011, and held the title of the only Indian restaurant in New York City with a Michelin Star from 2018-2019. He was also selected as a Gohan Society Culinary Scholar — and traveled to Japan to study the delicate art of omakase — and became the first Indian chef to be selected for the Forbes “30 under 30: Food & Drink” list. Bhardwaj showcases a menu that reflects the diversity of India, steeped in the classics while offering deft touches of modernity.In this episode, we talk about Akshay's journey running a family business, creating an indian fine dining place and how is it different from a “fusion” restaurant, and finally Akshay shares some wisdom for young folks based on his experience."Hey chef, just wanted to ask about March 11th for time off"Still getting time off requests like that ☝️ via text?

U n' I with Rashmi Shetty will be Celebrating Women and the amazing work that they do all of March. The first in the series is the inspirational Haimanti Sen- a 25 yr old social entrepreneur who is a psychology and sociology graduate from Mumbai University. She founded an NGO named Junoon in 2018, with the aim of helping underprivileged children to avail of basic education. Junoon is a team of 9 members today and 30 volunteers, and they provide basic education to children living in streets and slums through music, art, dance, plays, and other educational trips. Obviously, the execution of this idea was a challenge for Haimanti. Where would she teach the children? Would their parents allow them to come? Would any school offer help? But despite all of that, she figured her way out. But it did not end there. Whenever she would sit on the skywalk to teach the kids, local commuters would criticize her, one of them even called the cops. She wanted to give up too sometimes, but the enthusiasm in the children's eyes is what kept her going. She and her team recognized the main areas that were affecting the overall development of a child, which were nutrition, healthcare, education, and family dynamics. So they look for innovative ways to deal with the challenges like daily meals, health check-ups, and family counseling to name a few. Today Haimanti is a speaker at World Tolerance Summit, has won the Rex Karamveer Award 2019, Teacher Warrior Award 2019, and has also been a TEDx speaker. She definitely is a role model to today's youth. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-third-eye1/message

Much like Drama, there is one medium that every Pakistani can’t help but bow down to: Pakistani Rock. Though different from the ghazal music that our parents revered, Pakistani rock fed the soul of an angsty generation that was simply yearning to be heard. The Maazes investigate the likes of Vital Signs, Junoon, Jal, and more, uncovering how this genre was responsible for creating a new music era of Pakistan, including the country’s anthem “Dil Dil Pakistan.”

Fin de temporada! Nos vamos de vacaciones y antes de ello os dejamos con un programa que llevamos meses preparando. Bueno, en realidad no. Dijimos que lo íbamos a hacer hace un montón pero terminamos de ver las pelis un ratito antes de grabar. A disfrutar del verano. Ahí va el índice: - Teen Wolf Too (1984) - Van Helsing (2004) - La Maldición (2005) - Underworld: La rebelión de los licántropos (2009) - Miedo azul (1985) - Dog Soldiers (2002) - President Wolfman (2012) - Junoon (1992)

Junoon is the most popular rock group in South Asia, with sales of over 30 million. In his memoir, Rock & Roll Jihad, Salman Ahmad describes his fight to bring down the wall between east and west, and to overcome the barriers of fundamentalism to bring cultures together through music.

In this edition of the OP Diaries, I am joined by Omar Sohail, son of the former Pakistan Chief of Air Staff Aman Sohail. Omar gives us an insight into the parallels between civilian life and being an military brat and gives us an insider track into the mindset of a man who commanded so much influence for a number of years, his father. He talks us through the rather unsettled lifestyle one leads as the son of an armed forces officer. We also discuss the privileges afforded to members of the armed forces, the abuse of power, the enormous spending and influence, and the public perception. Lastly, Omar details how after all the places he has lived in due to the nature of his fathers’ job, he has found his ‘real’ home in Scotland where he now resides with his wife.

This podcast is an inspirational talk given by Dr. Rajvanshi to Students of IIT Kanpur, his alma mater in March 2013. He talks about the idea of how junoon (passion) can create a desire to do things out of ordinary and in the process bring happiness. He gave examples of his junoon of going to USA from IIT Kanpur and then coming back to rural India after leaving a very lucrative career in US. The transcript of this podcast can be found at: https://nariphaltan.org/junoon.pdf

This podcast is an inspirational talk given to students by Dr. Rajvanshi at the 70th foundation day of Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) held on 10th February 2019. Dr. Rajvanshi was the chief guest at the function and there were about 1500 students of various colleges of Pune University present. In the talk, he spoke about various topics like nation building, Junoon, happiness ethics of work and how to become a good human being.

In a wide-ranging conversation, we talk to Pranav Jani about Marxism and colonialism. Pranav is an associate professor of English at Ohio State University and a long-time activist and organizer with the International Socialist Organization (ISO). Pranav describes his evolution from an apolitical college student to his first encounters with the writings of Marx on India—and how he went beyond a few selected excerpts to a deeper engagement with Marx’s thought and its evolution. We also talk about postcolonial theory, and Pranav explains what insights he gained from that field of study as well as the limitations he ran up against working within it. Another theme running throughout our interview is the importance of combining activism and theory for Pranav’s understanding of and commitment to socialism. He talks about how it was the anti-colonial revolt against the British that began to shift Marx’s own ideas about India. In Pranav’s own life and political outlook, the importance of struggle is paramount. We talk about his experience as an Indian revolutionary moving from the East Coast to Columbus, Ohio, and what he learned from helping to build a strong presence for the ISO in Ohio. One of the themes of our discussion about his work in Ohio is a critical examination of some of the punditry about “red-state America” and the 2016 elections. Pranav describes the political picture in central Ohio and the importance of a more nuanced understanding of the working class as well as the socialist commitment to fighting both exploitation and oppression. In our opener, we talk about a major opus on climate change published recently in the New York Times Magazine, titled "Losing Earth," whose conclusions we deem essentially reactionary. The author, Nathaniel Rich, has compiled a dense history of a decade of climate summits, high-level boardroom meetings and political hearings, but somehow concludes that human nature—and our failure to sacrifice for long-term needs—is to blame for the failure to act to prevent climate catastrophe. We reach a different conclusion: that capitalism is to blame. Links for our interview with Pranav Jani: *Pranav developed his ideas on Marxism, revolution and colonialism more deeply for a talk he presented at Socialism 2018. You can listen to the audio at We Are Many: http://bit.ly/PranavS18 *Pranav also wrote a feature article for Socialist Worker describing in more detail “What the Indian rebels taught Marx” (http://bit.ly/MarxIndiaSW) *The International Socialist Review (ISR) review of Vivek Chibber’s book on postcolonialism can be found here: (http://bit.ly/PranavISR) Links for our intro on climate catastrophe: *The NYT Magazine piece on Losing Earth (http://bit.ly/LosingEarth) *Naomi Klein had a good rejoinder to this article in the Intercept (http://bit.ly/KleinLosingEarth), and we engage with her material in this episode as well.

Indian subcontinent can boast to have the widest range of musical variety in the world. While the music from Indian film industry dominates the popular culture, other forms for music like classical, sufi, folk and regional are also equally popular and recognized parts of the mainstream music. But as creativity and desire to express has no limits or boundaries there have always been independent groups and musical bands from Indian subcontinent which have stretched the imagination of masses and the boundaries of the music. Last few years the independent music scene has witnessed the transformation on a more rapid pace. More and more musicians are interested in creating original material and there is a new spirit of innovation and creativity. This has also fuelled by availibitiy of platforms like MTV, Coke Studio, Dewarists as well as ability to distribute music directly on the Internet. In this Chaitime we celebrate the free spirit of some old and some new muscians, groups and bands. We will enjoy music from : Strings, Indian Ocean, Raghu Dixit Project, Junoon, Zeb aur Haniya, Kailasa, Mukti and Revival, Fuzon, Agnee, Swarathma and Advaita.

Gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, vegan and vegetarian — has your Thanksgiving menu being undermined by food allergies and ethical objections? Tell us about what you don’t eat in the comments below. Or share the extraordinary lengths you’ve gone to in catering to the dietary restrictions of your friends and family. Here’s what three chefs and one caterer had to say about the subject. “I grew up in Maryland and on our way to the beach every year, we would see the poultry farms, or some of them, and they just really disgusted me,” confessed Jacques Gautier, the chef and owner of the Brooklyn restaurants Palo Santo and Fort Reno. “That was the one thing that led me as a teenager to become a vegetarian.” He’s no longer a vegetarian, but he still makes it a point to stay away from brands like Perdue or Tyson — all because of that childhood memory. This year, he’s hosting Thanksgiving at his restaurants, where he’ll serve heritage turkeys raised on small farms. When it comes to the sweet stuff, Chef Peter Berley, the author of The Flexitarian Table, draws the line at refined sugar. “I avoid white sugar because it has disastrous effects on the body,” he said. “Really — it’s something that I’m pretty adamant about. And so I replace it with natural sweeteners that are loaded with minerals and also are whole foods, such as maple syrup. I like maple syrup a lot and one of the reasons I why love it is because of the Maillard reaction, which creates a synergized form of umami, which is the fifth taste, which is the experience of something yummy.” Berley added that sweet potatoes are one of the few vegetables that have naturally occurring umami, so adding maple syrup to your sweet potato casserole will make it doubly delicious. For those who avoid dairy, Aliya Leekong, a chef at the restaurant Junoon and author of the cookbook Exotic Table, has several suggestions on how to replace the flavor of butter with other vegan ingredients. “I think you could easily replace flavors like butter in your cooking using just great market vegetables, aromatics like shallots and garlic,” she said. “Nuts add depth of flavor and fat to a dish. And just bright herbs like parsley and mint and cilantro can really sort of round out a dish, and you don’t really need a butter.” Leekong says the only thing she tries to avoid are processed foods. Liz Neumark, the CEO of the catering company Great Performances, has a longer list of foods she doesn’t eat. Neumark stays away from dairy, meat, and octopus. She took the octopus off of all of the menus at Great Performances after reading articles about how smart and sentient they are. This Thanksgiving, Neumark will be in Israel, where she’ll celebrate Hanukkah, too. The rare overlap of the two holidays won’t happen again until 2070. But there’s one vegan and vegetarian Hanukkah food that Neumark would like to see every Thanksgiving. “There’s no reason to think that latke couldn’t be a part of Thanksgiving tradition in general because it’s a great seasonal vegetable that really complements everything else that you’re eating,’ she said. “And you can really have fun with them because you can make them out of potatoes, you can make them out of sweet potatoes, you can make them with carrots, zucchini. You can do them so many different ways.” So sometimes it just takes a little creativity and merging of cultures to find foods that everyone can enjoy this Thanksgiving. And remember, if you have dietary restrictions, one great way to work around that is to bring a dish that everyone can eat. Who knows? You might just make a dairy-free, nut-free, gluten-free convert out of your friends. If you’re still scouting for a side dish for Thanksgiving, try chef Einat Admony’s award-winning latke recipe below. Or check out chef Peter Berley’s recipe for Roasted Pumpkin with Quinoa Stuffing. Potato, Yam & Carrot Latke with Honey, Preserved Lemons & Yogurt Sauceby Einat Admony, chef and owner of Balaboosta and Taïm 1 cup grated potato 1 cup grated yams 1 cup grated carrot 1 1/2 cup grated onion (after having the liquid squeezed out) 1/2 cup grated peeled granny smith apple 1 egg 1 tbs chopped thyme 4 tbs AP flour 1 tbs salt Pinch black pepper Pinch sugar Canola oil Method: Mix all in a mixing bowl. Heat up sauté pan with 1/2" oil. When the oil is hot, around 370 degrees, create a 2-inch patties and fried them on both sides until they are golden brown. For the yogurt sauce: Simply mix chopped preserved lemons with enough honey to balance out the bitterness. Gently fold in plain yogurt until you have a homogeneous mixture. You can add turmeric for color if you wish. Season with salt and pepper. Dollop on your lovely little latkes and let the holiday feasting begin!

This week on Eat Your Words, Chef Aliya LeeKong joins us via phone to talk to us about her latest book, Exotic Table: Flavors, inspiration, and recipies from around the world–to your kitchen.
