Wah ustad,
wah!
The Wadali brothers are a
legend in their lifetime. Their canvas is as vast as the ocean. They have won
numerous awards, the latest being the Punjab Sangeet Natak Akademi Award, 2003.
Recently, they stepped into the world of films with Pinjar, adding divine
dimensions to the pain of Partition depicted in the movie. But more than
anything else, they have provided music lovers rare moments to remember and
cherish, says Aditi Tandon. |

TRADITIONAL CRAFT
Sober shades
brighten future of phulkari
Gurvinder Kaur
UPROOTED
by the hate wave which swept the subcontinent during Partition,
thousands of migrants from Pakistan have ironically found their very
means of survival and even prosperity in a craft left behind by their
Muslim counterparts.
Weird
wills
Roshni Johar
ECCENTRICS
have written weird wills, bequeathing both their immovable and movable
properties, in equally queer ways. One
eccentric wrote his will not on paper, but on his door in red chalk,
making two witnesses sign it also.
