Hillary Clinton says the film insulting to Muslims cannot be stopped because of freedom of expression. 2. The French and Italian papers published photos of a naked Duchess of Cambridge. Now a French court has ordered the publishers to surrender all the pictures to the royal couple and to stop publishing them. The Italians are also going to do the same. 3.

  • Darbuka (tablah) by Debu

    My brains got jammed one afternoon (lately it is getting worse!), so I took a break and browsed for some new songs – as usual latest A.R Rahman’s release.  The I came across this tube where a bunch of music group members jamming were their way through with a Darbuka. It helped me relax….it really did. I love the sound of it. Btw I think one of the guys (the blond with black shirt) is a member of the band called DEBU. Went to their concert once in Malaysia with a friend and my sister.  Great music, great love…
