...subcontinental pub crawl. Once a small protectorate of the Mysore Raj, Bangalore is now the fastest-growing metropolis in India. The meteoric rise of the city's I.T. industry earned it the moniker the Silicon Valley of Asia. Lifetime residents, however, know it as the Garden City, where lush forests and endless blossoms of golden and pink acacias dot with shimmering color even the grimiest roads...
...Zimbabwe and Namibia, which fought on Kabila's side, from seeking military advantage in the uncertainty following this week's assassination.

Dar weaves together intelligence, quirkiness, humor and lush melodic arrangements that entertain and enlighten. Only she could craft pop songs out of a failed 17th-century Polish messianic cult, psychotherapy or the anti-Vietnam activities of former priest Daniel Berrigan. Her radio-ready single, "What do you Love More than Love" skews off center with its focus on Buddhism. Even Dar recognizes the unlikely nature of her topics, joking between songs...
