TATA tshirts

Yet another Desi inspired t-shirt from a non-Desi inspired company.

I guess the folks at "The Cotton Factory", are not too concerned about copyright infringement?

For those that don't know about TATA, here is a LINK ...oh and they own Jaguar and Landrover, so they are everywhere now.

Nike T-Shirt going Desi

Here is an interesting find from the Netherlands. A rare Nike T Shirt - 'Love' India edition. I actually found this on EBAY.

We were recently contacted by a newspaper that posed an interesting question.

"Do you feel that Indians are ready to represent themselves in the West, considering that they are more prone to wearing a mainstream brand?"

We feel that our t-shirts can be worn by anyone and not necessarily for someone of Indian origin. Our designs don't scream, "Brown", "Desi" etc... They are made for the masses.

The interesting thing about Nike producing a t-shirt with Hindi writing could actually show that there is something to what we are doing. Could a mega company like Nike actually make it cool to wear something of Indian origin, or will they kill us? In the meantime we are going to keep tooting our TATA horn and do our own thing.

We can only hope that you find our designs are a bit more appealing than the standard "Om" symbol shirt or a Nike shirt with "love" written in many languages.

Bhangra Loves Michael Jackson

(August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

To the King of Pop, may you finally rest in peace from all the vultures that wanted a piece of you.

For those that don't know the track in the video above.....it is Tigerstyle's - "Nachna Onda Nei". The foundation of the song is thanks to Michael Jackson. A man that crossed all genres of music will be greatly missed.

Okay, I couldn't resist this Telugu rendition of Michael Jackson's Thriller. Sit back and enjoy the insanity. I got a ton of feedback on Facebook for this one.

Ustad Ali Akbar Khan Passes Away

The South Asian Classical Music World lost a great maestro today. May Ustad Ali Akbar Khan rest in peace. Our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and lovers of his creations.

His discography , It is massive! Educate yourself and buy some!

Those Tiny Packets in the Electronics Box.

Okay, this completely random but I couldn't resist to post something called, "Desi-Pak".

Now the science part from Desi-Pak® :

Desi Pak® unit bags provide a low cost and efficient method of protecting against moisture damage during transit and storage. The bags are filled with a bentonite clay which is a naturally occurring mineral as opposed to a chemically synthesized adsorbent.

Wonder where the name originates from anyway? Some guy in France, certainly has a monopoly like the "KYY" guy that's on most people's flies.

"Intel Star" Ajay Bhatt

This had us in stiches.

From Intel:

Rather than focusing on a new product, the 2009 "Sponsors of Tomorrow" ad campaign celebrates what makes Intel different culture, personality, heroes -- and ways Intel has helped change the world for over 40 years.

Where does one get the Ajay Bhatt, t-shirt anyway? It won't be long before someone on "Cafepress" or "Zazzle", creates one. Did we mention, how we dislike Cafepress and Zazzle?

Hey Intel, we are here to offer our services!

MTV - Paan Commercial

I recently brought some Paan Leaves from Edison, NJ. I was mentioning this old MTV India commercial to a friend, who decided to be my guinea pig and test my Paan making skills.

The commercial is a classic that has been forgotten so we figure we would make it resurface like a Paan leaf in a bowl of water.

The video was produced in 1996 by Rohit Watsa.

This was an older Chor Bazaar, post on PAAN

"MTV...not know for its good taste" ENJOY!
