There is a song titled 'Prime Sinisters' in the repertoire of Bombay Brass, a Mumbai-based punk-jazz band comprising some of the finest horn players, including saxophonist Rhys Sebastian, who is almost like the group's "band-master".
When you start playing the song from a personal device, you think your system's volume has gone down. But three seconds down, when Sebastian interjects, "keep it rolling", it rises again. Now they are blaring full horns, all 11 members in sync, their adrenalin transmitting to the listener in a snap. When Bombay Brass performed 'Prime Sinisters' at the recently concluded Jodhpur Rajasthan International Folk Festival (JRIFF), they did not quite dwell on the story behind the name. But the audience responded like it was trailing behind a boisterous baraat (wedding procession). Or navigating a rambunctious chase in a busy street with a perfectly synchronised orchestra of car horns.
For this performance-centric band, exuberance is everything. Their smooth, high-energy instrumental pieces can conjure visions in technicolor. "The point of the act is the full energy of the brass," says Jehangir Jehangir aka JJ, the band's drummer, a day after their performance on a breezy night at Mehrangarh Fort.

Detaching morality from economic policy
Is the Adani imbroglio an episodic, one-off incident-or does it reflect a major systemic lacuna in our conception of development and democracy? Mahatma Gandhi had said the national objective must be \"to wipe every tear from every eye\" and earlier answered a question about his \"dream for India\" by saying he would \"work for an India in which the poorest shall feel it is their country\" in the making of which it is their voice that shall prevail.
