Someone's little girl is singing and in the cool air her amplified voice is carrying kilometres across the valley into my precious ears.

Bless her, a braying donkey sounds better.

She's just started on Adele's "nothing but the best, for you" & she's slaughtering it so badly...

We're on "eye of the tiger" and hearing her roar ro a a ah I'm just dying for her.
I'm not of Simon's critical calibre, but "a village being pillaged is more musical" is my final score.

I was hoping for a break, but they've just started another number. This one sounds like it ends in a shallow grave.

Maybe I need to go inside and light a fire.
The "murdering of the cats" has subsided.

I'll get the skinny next week. No doubt she made a name for herself tonight.

What a performance...

Rig Ved 1.36.7

To do a Namaskaar or bow before someone means that you are humble or without pride and ego. This means that we politely bow before you since you are better than me. Pranipaat(प्राणीपात) also means the same that we respect you without any vanity.

Surrendering False pride is Namaskaar. Even in devotion or bhakti we say the same thing. We want to convey to Ishwar that we have nothing to offer but we leave all our pride and offer you ourselves without any pride in our body. You destroy all our evil karma.

We bow before you so that you assimilate us and make us that capable. Destruction of our evils and surrender is Namaskaar. Therefore we pray same thing before and after any big rituals.
