Amidst the clash of civilizations, what a better way to celebrate Eid than ask Samuel Huntington to join the late Fareed Zakaria and listen to western music, to celebrate Eid of course!

Please ignore the first song which is in Hindi instead of English.

Gatecrashing Eid with inappropriate music from the Clash of Civilizations.

I had the good fortune to live in a place called Trichy in Tamil Nadu in the 90s. I also had the good fortune to have a neat Tequila at home. It had to be Tamil today.

Picking up from the solo episode on Swatantra Diwas USA, there is more to life than a handshake. There is more to life than a career. That's what the girl whose love is unrequited in the previous episode is thinking. And there's more to a song than a single take.

I'm not quite a beer fan, but Shiner Rock is something to be proud of as a local Texan. My apologies for not getting my friends back on together, so here goes another solo episode. I'm generally picking the songs from the middle, so hope you can guess.. Finally, stay till the end of the episode because you'll be surprised by the genres; it is not what you think it is. It simply is the order in which the songs came to my mind, so.. you are going to subjected to what I was subjected to by.. Shiner Rock!

This is for Indians past their prime, like aged wine to be exact. It's a Friday evening. With young kids, you can't risk drinking and driving like you once used to. Don't worry, we have you covered, if you can cover your ears with good headphones. For optimum listening experience, we recommend 30 ml on an empty stomach at least 30 mins before you listen. We recommend single malt if you can still handle it. Dare not touch food - you are diluting the experience. So .. guess karo!

This is a solo episode - a short 5 minute one focused on visualizing one song. Assuming you have not seen the real video of this song, how did you visualize this song? Hear mine as well. Happy Swatantra Diwas!

- Allahabad
- Vishal-Shekhar when they were single
- Anuradha Paudwal before she faded away
- Anurag Kashyap from Gorakhpur
- The rich and famous get away,
- but not before.. Aaj baag mein khilenga ek gulab
