Somebody at one of these places […] asked me: ‘What do you do? How do you write, create?’ You don’t, I told them. You don’t try. That’s very important: ‘not’ to try, either for Cadillacs, creation or immortality. You wait, and if nothing happens, you wait some more. It’s like a bug high on the wall. You wait for it to come to you. When it gets close enough you reach out, slap out and kill it. Or if you like its looks you make a pet out of it.
Charles Bukowski, 1963

Probably the coolest pop culture dub step mix to come out of the Indian Subcontinent. Pakistani DJ Shahrukh remixes the debate between pak actress Veena Malik and Mufti Abdul Qawi.
