Chup!

Chup! (Urdu: چپ‎, literal English translation: Hush!) was the debut album by the Pakistani pop band Zeb and Haniya, released in July 2008. The only single from this album is "Aitebar".

Concept

The album opens with the song 'Chup' which is a sweet, folksy song that packs a jazzy punch because of the use of the trumpet, played by Hildegunn. It has very simple lyrics yet the song is very endearing. 'Chup' is followed by 'Rona Chor Diya' which packs a far stronger punch. The next track 'Kabhi Na Kabhi' has darker undertones, it evokes images of old black and white films and would be perfect for an indie film soundtrack.

Paimana Bitte' is a traditional folk song is sung in Pashto and Dari and it brings home the charm of great world music that it strikes a chord to someone who can't understand the language. Zeb and Haniya out do themselves on this track, and Hildegunn's use of the horn is fantastic. It draws to a whispery close all too soon! With this song, Zeb and Haniya have proved that Pakistani music can be produced in an avant-garde manner using regional languages, and one hopes more musicians follow their example instead of constantly warbling badly accented English songs. The next track 'Kahaan' is fairly forgettable and it highlights the only issue I have with the album; that listening to it from start to finish makes it feel slightly monotonous. Chal Diye' has an absolutely beautiful guitar arrangement. 'Ahaan' is another track to keep an ear out for this alternative pop song.

Chandogya Upanishad

The Chandogya Upanishad (Sanskrit: छान्दोग्योपनिषद्, Chāndogyopaniṣad) is a Sanskrit text embedded in the Chandogya Brahmana of the Sama Veda of Hinduism. It is one of the oldest Upanishads. It lists as number 9 in the Muktika canon of 108 Upanishads.

The Upanishad belongs to the Tandya school of the Samaveda. Like Brhadaranyaka Upanishad, the Chandogya Upanishad is an anthology of texts that must have pre-existed as separate texts, and were edited into a larger text by one or more ancient Indian scholars. The precise chronology of Chandogya Upanishad is uncertain, and it is variously dated to have been composed by the 8th to 6th century BCE in India.

It is one of the largest Upanishadic compilations, and has eight Prapathakas (literally lectures, chapters), each with many volumes, and each volume contains many verses. The volumes are a motley collection of stories and themes. As part of the poetic and chants-focussed Samaveda, the broad unifying theme of the Upanishad is the importance of speech, language, song and chants to man's quest for knowledge and salvation, to metaphysical premises and questions, as well as to rituals.
