I like to Bang ! and release new Desi fun !!

OK that did not sound nice, but it would make one heck(a) cool desi t-shirt to rock on if put a dhol (drum) on it and that's exactly what T-SHIRT DESIGN JUNKIE has done.

Take a look,


At T-SHIRT DESIGN JUNKIE, 7 new desi tees were released last month alone to keep with the growing demand and requests from TDjunkie fans. Desi people are sick and tired of wearing t-shirts with "Desi" written on it. Yet some desi companies keep on realising them. Although, I'm guilty, I have a couple of t-shirts which were released in 2002 with the word "Desi" but its not cool anymore.

From now on, T-SHIRT DESIGN JUNKIE's
mission is to continuously provide the most stylish and innovating line of clothing to complement, enhance, and accent an urban desi lifestyle. The Junkie takes an enormous degree of pride in delivering the most creative ideas and concepts to each line of production and design.

If you haven't already noticed, Things are quite different at TDjunkie.com. My new designs reflect core desi culture in a creatively funny manner.

The PEOPLE want more, I also released Amitabh Bachchan tees last month, which explains why I did not not post anything in August. I'll talk about Amitabh Bachchan in my next blog. Lates,

What is Boliyan ? (from Wikipedia)

Boliyan or Bolis are couplets that are sung in Punjabi Language.

A Boli expresses situations, their emotions and their typical situations. Usually a boli is sung and introduced by one woman, and then the other girls form a chorus.

Although women mainly sing boliyan, men also do, His Hit Smash Kulwinder Dhillon, was launched by his song Boliyan. [1] "Jaago" the night before the wedding, the awakening night is when all of the family join together and sing boliyan, to celebrate the joyous occasion. The first boli to be sung on the Jago Night is Jago Aiya- which translates into the following

Jatta Jaag Vey. - All you Jatts Wake Up Hun Jaago Aiya. - For the Jaago has came Shava vey hun Jaago Aiya. - Wow, just look, the Jaago has came.

Although commonly women do giddha, and sing boliyan, Malwai, from the lower Punjab is where the men sing the boliyan. They also do Bhangra dances to accompany the Boliyan.

Boliyan were started by the Punjabi ancestors. Their women would sing boliyan to express their emotions and feeling, or just for fun. Nowadays there have become even more popular, as they trademark your heritage.

There have been no popular boli writers, as someone could have thought of it on the spot, then it was repeated by someone else and so forth, therefore spreading the boli.

To give boliyan more depth and strength, the vibrant colours of the girls dyed salwar kameez's brighten up the surroundings. The brighter the dresses the more visible the dancers.

The folk dances have boliyan as their composition. It is these boliyan that enlivens the mood of the dancers

They are traditional but time has made changes in them too. The boliyan are not composed by a professional person only. Even a farmer contributes to them. They have a uniform rhythm, and often their appeal is enhanced by a meaningless rhyme added to them. Almost all folk dances are performed in circles. Whilst dancing the giddha, the women sing in sonorous voices, to the accompaniment of the dholak (drum), ghadda (pots) or to the beat of clapping. The leader (woman) of the chorus sings the boli, which the chorus repeats. The ghadda is played by gently striking a ring or a small stone on it in keeping with the rhythm. It helps to build an atmosphere of gaiety.
