Delhiwale: His heap of broken images
While the sun beats, the dead tree gives no shelter, and the cricket no relief. The world is a heap of broken images. This evocation from poet TS Eliot's Waste Land can get uncomfortably personal. After all, a substantial chunk of our lives consists of a heap of unfinished fragments. We rarely reach the end of things. Our incomplete endeavours are of many types—a broken New Year resolution, an aborted love affair, or even a thing as banal as the Uber driver cancelling the ride. Here are three of citizen Arjit Roy's many untitled verses that failed to find their end. This evening, the Rohini-based poet scrolls through his mobile phone, showing the poems he couldn't complete due to various reasons, despite his best attempts. (Judgmental readers must be gently told that Arijit has already published a book of completed poems! Brave of him to share his incomplete works, instead of the other way round.) 1. The moon is cut in two equal halves tonight It is cut with such exactness Such quality Such precision That I look at the moon and wonder If a scale was used perhaps So perfect it indeed seems That the mind is forced to ask Was it possible without human touch Or is it so perfect Because of its very absence 2. Why is April The National Poetry Writing Month Is it because No other month had a say Or Nothing is more lovely Than a summer's day But not in India though Then why so Is April given this status? I think it's for the April's fool And just to look a bit more cool For only fools write poetry, that too in English in India And that too for 30 days Surely, these chaps didn't know of life's other ways MBA, Civils, NET, SSC, IIT & GATE Those who aren't really poets, can leave You aren't late 3. O Amaltas tree If I touch your lowest flower Will you also grow into me?

Sly Stone, pioneering funk legend, dies at 82
Sly Stone , the visionary musician whose genre-defying work with Sly and the Family Stone reshaped popular music in the late 1960s and 1970s, has died at the age of 82. Stone, born Sylvester Stewart, passed away surrounded by family after battling chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other ailments, his publicist Carleen Donovan confirmed on Monday. A revolutionary force in music Formed in the Bay Area in 1966-67, Sly and the Family Stone broke new ground as the first major band to feature Black and white men and women, embodying the spirit of an era marked by social upheaval and hope. Their music—a vibrant fusion of jazz, psychedelic rock, soul, doo-wop, and the emerging sounds of funk—captured the euphoria and turbulence of the Woodstock generation. The band's breakthrough came with the 1968 single 'Dance to the Music,' which hit the Top 10 during a week marked by the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Their anthems, including 'Everyday People,' 'Stand!,' and 'Family Affair,' became rallying cries for unity and non-conformity, with the phrase 'different strokes for different folks' entering the popular lexicon. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The price of dental implants may surprise you Dental Implants | Search Ads Search Now Undo Enduring legacy Sly and the Family Stone released five Top 10 singles—three of which reached No. 1—and three million-selling albums: 'Stand!,' 'There's a Riot Goin' On,' and 'Greatest Hits.'

Stone's influence extended far beyond his brief peak from 1968 to 1971. Artists as diverse as George Clinton, Prince, Rick James, and the Black Eyed Peas drew inspiration from his work, and his riffs have been sampled by hip-hop legends like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.

Sean Diddy Combs ex testifies he kicked, dragged her in attack last year
Testifying under pseudonym, Jane testifies he coerced her into sexual acts She describes altercation after confronting Combs about another relationship Testimony enters fifth week with defense to cross-examine on Tuesday Combs' lawyers claim women participated consensually in 'Freak Offs' (New throughout with details from trial testimony; note language in paragraph 4 some readers may find offensive) NEW YORK, June 9 (Reuters) - An ex-girlfriend of Sean "Diddy" Combs testified on Monday that he kicked, punched and dragged her last June, about a month after the hip-hop mogul apologized for a video that surfaced of Combs attacking another girlfriend eight years earlier. The alleged attack on the woman, testifying under the pseudonym Jane to protect her privacy, occurred three months before Combs was indicted on racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. He has pleaded not guilty. Jane said that after the attack in the backyard of her Los Angeles home on June 18, 2024, Combs contacted a male entertainer named Anton, gave her an ecstasy pill, and told her to perform oral sex on Anton while Combs watched - even though she had told him she did not want to. Jane said Combs told her, "You're not going to ruin my fucking night," and then got close to her face and said, "Is this coercion?" Jane's testimony could bolster prosecutors' contention that Combs, 55, for two decades coerced women to take part in the sexual performances, sometimes known as "Freak Offs," against their will. Lawyers for Combs, founder of Bad Boy Records, have acknowledged he was occasionally abusive in domestic relationships, but say the women who took part in Freak Offs did so consensually. On May 19, 2024, Combs apologized on social media after CNN broadcast a hotel surveillance video from 2016 in which Combs appeared to attack the rhythm and blues singer Casandra Ventura, another ex-girlfriend. The video was shown in court. In November 2023, Ventura sued Combs for allegedly forcing her to take part in Freak Offs over the course of a decade-long relationship that started around 2008. Combs denied wrongdoing, and he settled with her two days later for $20 million. Jane said she told Combs several times that she did not want to have sex with other men anymore. Jurors saw an October 20, 2023, text message in which she told him, "I felt violated and manipulated by you." But the encounters continued after that, as did Combs' financial support for Jane, according to her testimony. Jane said the June 2024 altercation occurred after she confronted him about his relationship with another woman. Jane said she shoved Combs' head into a kitchen counter and threw candles and glass at him. He eventually attacked her in the backyard while she was lying on the ground curled into a ball, she said. Combs' defense lawyers are due to begin cross-examining Jane on Tuesday. Testimony is in its fifth week. Combs could face life in prison if convicted on all counts. Also known throughout his career as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy, Combs turned artists like Notorious B.I.G. and Usher into stars, elevating hip-hop in American culture and becoming a billionaire in the process.
