This is my favourite cover of Tera Ghata and one of my favourite tracks ever and I still can't believe they're from Uzbekistan. Someone fluent in Hindi tell me if you can detect an accent because I can't. They've also transformed the song into one of the most danceable tunes ever. If you say it doesn't get your toes tapping I don't believe you.

'A River Called Titas' (Titash Ekti Nodir Naam) (1973)

Titash Ekti Nodir Naam (A River Called Titas), directed by Ritwik Ghatak and released in 1973, is a cinematic gem that immerses viewers in the poetic and tragic world of a fishing community. The film's cinematography is a visual feast, capturing the vastness of the river, the ebb and flow of life, and the raw emotions of its characters.

Ghatak's lens becomes a window into the souls of the people of Titas, their joys, sorrows, and struggles. The cinematography skillfully uses wide shots to emphasize the expansive river and the overwhelming power it holds over the lives of the characters. Intimate close-ups bring us face to face with their raw emotions, capturing the depth of their pain and longing.

What makes Titash Ekti Nodir Naam truly great is its ability to transport viewers to a world that is both mesmerizing and heartbreaking. The cinematography creates a sensory experience, allowing us to feel the ebb and flow of the river, smell the brine of the sea, and taste the salt in the air. It immerses us in the rich tapestry of human existence, evoking a profound sense of empathy and connection.

Titash Ekti Nodir Naam is a masterpiece that explores themes of love, loss, and the indomitable spirit of the human condition. Its cinematography not only captures the external beauty of the natural world but also delves into the depths of the human soul. It is a film that lingers in the heart and mind, reminding us of the power of cinema to transport us to places we have never been and to touch our souls in ways that are truly unique.

"You weren’t made for this life" Marina Tsvetaeva: To Die in Yelabuga by Vénus Khoury-Ghata

You weren’t made for this life: Marina Tsvetaeva: To Die in Yelabuga by Vénus Khoury-Ghata Translated by Teresa Lavender-Fagan @seagullbooks

It begins as it ends. With a beam, a rope, a chair and a window looking out on a hill, a cypress tree and a potato field. With a heart turned to stone through so many trials. In her stark, poetic elegy The Last Days of Mandelstam, Lebanese-French poet and writer, Vénus Khoury-Ghata, aimed to bear witness to the final days and hours of Osip Mandelstam’s life that had passed unrecorded in a transit…

no matter WHAT i’ll ALWAYS ask anon questions like i’m sorry but what if i’m being rude in a question or it comes off as too forceful or inconsiderate or i’m just plain wrong like that can’t be on my record so i just always ask anonymously.

#maybe i’m autistic guys #seriously though one person got a little mad at an ask before and i’ve never been the same since #cause also what if it’s a dumb question and the response is ‘‘look in my bio what’ LIKE NO I CANT TAKE GHATA #guys #GUYS.

Headcanon: After Brynne and Hira adopted Ghata...

Hira: Ok, I just overheard Ghata in her room giving herself a pep talk and I think she's about to come out to us. So, no matter what she tells us, we have to be supportive.

Brynne: Of course, babe! Have you forgotten I'm bi and you're a lesbian? She could be gay, trans, non-binary, whatever! The point is, we'll love her no matter what!

Hira: Perfect. Ok, here she comes!

Ghata: Ma, Ammi, I have to tell you something important.

Hira: What is it, sweetie?

Ghata, nervous: Um...well...you see...

Brynne: C'mon, spit it out! You're a demon, remember? Be strong, girl!

Ghata: Ma. Ammi.

Both: Yes?

Ghata: I'm... I'M...

Both: YES-

Ghata: I'M A VEGAN!

Both: O_o

Hira: ...Well...that's great, baby-

Brynne: You're dead to me.

Hira: BRYNNE!

Brynne: Eggs, fish, meat. Does their taste and nutritional value mean nothing to you?!?

Ghata, on a roll: Also, I've been going to that vegan restaurant that opened lately.

Brynne, dramatically: OH, WHY DON'T YOU JUST RIP MY HEART OUT-

A wanderer between two worlds: The Postman of Abruzzo by Vénus Khoury-Ghata

A wanderer between two worlds: The Postman of Abruzzo by Vénus Khoury-Ghata, tranlated by Teresa Lavender Fagan #WITMonth

“Rifling through the papers of a dead man isn’t enough to bring him back to life.” Ten years after her geneticist husband died following his return from a village in a mountainous part of southern Italy, Laure leaves her home in Paris in search of something—she’s not sure exactly what—that will help her understand why he kept returning to this isolated community of displaced Albanians again and…
