Dschinghis Khan

Dschinghis Khan (known in some countries as Genghis Khan) is a German (former West Germany) pop band originally formed in 1979 to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest. The group's name was taken from the title of their song, "Dschinghis Khan", which was written and produced by Ralph Siegel with lyrics by Bernd Meinunger.

In 1980, their single "Moscow" (the English-language version of "Moskau") topped the charts in Australia and remained No. 1 for six weeks. Its success there had much to do with the Seven Network's use of the song as the theme music for their television coverage of the 1980 Summer Olympics. The Australian single was issued in a die-cut Channel 7 sleeve.

In an interview with Russian television presenter Alexandra Glotova, the producer of the group Dschinghis Khan, Heinz Gross, said that in the 1980s, the band was forbidden in the Soviet Union and was accused of anti-communism and nationalism.

While the group broke up in the mid-1980s, the German video for "Moskau" was a part of the show Disco on ZDF, as was the similarly-staged "Dschinghis Khan".

Corrida (horse)

Corrida (1932 – probably 1944) was a French Thoroughbred racehorse who won races in France, Belgium, Germany and England and is regarded as one of the top fillies of the 20th century worldwide. She is best known for her back-to-back wins in France's most prestigious horse race, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

Racing career

Corrida in Latin languages translates as bullfight. At age two, she won the Prix Morny and was second by a head to Pampeiro in the Grand Critérium. At age three, owner Marcel Boussac shipped Corrida to England, where trainer George Lambton prepared her at Newmarket Racecourse. Entered in the 1,000 Guineas and the Epsom Oaks, Corrida performed poorly, and after a third lackluster effort was returned to France. There, Corrida won the Grand Prix de Marseille at Hippodrome de Marseille Borely and had three placings in major races including a third in the 1935 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

In 1936, she blossomed into the most dominant horse in France. That year, Corrida won seven major races. In England, she captured the Hardwicke Stakes at Ascot Racecourse, then won the Grand Prix Prince Rose at Hippodrome Wellington, in Ostend, Belgium and in France the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, the Prix d'Hedouville, the Prix du Prince de Galles, and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and repeated her win in the Grand Prix de Marseille.

Kash (film)

Kash (meaning:Puff) is a 2014 indie feature film directed by Souman Bose with Subholina Sen and Souman Bose playing the lead roles.

Plot

Kashi Mehrothra, a youth in his early twenties is heavily influenced by Ram Sen, A "proletariat" who used to make a living by selling biris (small Indian cigarettes) and within a span of few years evolved into a huge capitalist. Ram Sen preached: "বিড়ি উন্নতির শিরি !" (meaning: "Indian cigar is the staircase to success!") Kashi Mehrothra, was heavily influenced by his philosophy as an adolescent. He thought, if a man devoid of any formal education could do so much,he could do all this and more with a more sophisticated intoxicant-per say, a cigarette. Hence, his fantasies of being the "Cigarette King" of India started taking over. He got so much into cigarettes, his friends started calling him Kash, which means a puff or a drag of smoke. Motherless Kash, despite being born into an affluent business family relates more to the Proletarian philosophies. He goes on a journey trying to make his bizarre ambition of opening a cigarette factory. Meanwhile, other forces are at work. And Kashi Mehrothra's melancholic life transforms into a topsy turvy journey, where his life is threatened by creatures from the super natural realm, viz. Jack Ketch. Kash is a story of that journey. A political satire. A horror tale. And all the drama behind a little puff of smoke.
