Tamil, not Hindi, but it may help to play this classic a few times.
I cannot possibly thank you enough for this. I've now spilled coffee all over my desk, and was laughing and crying in my office like a freakin' lunatic... Great dopamine response was had... I need more of these!
I was doing pretty well until the call for Oliver to poop on us landed... and from that point on I just went full retard. Glad it's the weekend and I'm just catching up on some work alone in the office... can't imagine how I'd explain this to a coworker.
Hello ladies ,
There's been reports of racism in this thread, not liking loud traditional Hindu music is not racist. That said I'd like to point out the use of language by @john5220 is careless and asked if he would take his issues with other forums elsewhere.
We are grownups so name calling folks who go elsewhere to enjoy hifi chat is not what we are about. John, please let go of your issues with other places , ASR is not the place to maintain your grudge.
Oh and you need to move house , in the UK you could report this to the local council and lodge a antisocial behaviour complaint. They would measure the sound levels and if above a certain level action would be taken. I'm not sure about where you are .
As a aside all the Hindu folks iv met have been beautiful human beings, I'm sure that's not universally true but if there's prejudiced in me it's positive leaning towards their virtue.
Cheers
We're all human beings - so drawing lines of separation over things as meaningless and trivial as the amount of melanin in our skin or the color/texture of our eyes, hair, etc. is ridiculous and shouldn't be tolerated nor encouraged. However, cultures are, by definition, behavioral and experiential differences - and are also familiar and comfortable to some and the opposite to others.
It is racist to hate someone because they are of Asian decent... it is not racist to hate Chinese food, traditional clothing, architecture, music, etc. Period. Although cultural intolerance may be a side-effect of actual racism... it is merely a product of ignorance or difference of opinion in a great number of cases... and calling it racism does more damage than good in healing actual racial bias/bigotry IMO.
Obviously I'm not directing that at you @Thomas savage - as your post essentially points out exactly the same things. I just get triggered by some of the PC culture conflation of the two separate issues. Cheers.
