Punjabi culture declining:
Bhagwant SAS Nagar, April 5 Stating this at a press conference here today, Bhagwant Mann, satirist and comedian, said he felt pained at the changing scene in the rural areas and has tried to present the true picture with a sting in his new cassette, “Dam Lai Lo”, released last week. The cassette, by T series, contains eight songs written and sung by Mann. The songs include “Dam Lai Lo”, “Charkha”, Hooter”, “Raunak Punjab Wargi”, “Gavaiye” “Boliyan” and “Pindaan Vich”. Mann said nowadays one does not see women on swings under pipal trees in villages. This had been replaced by the TV. Besides, 70 per cent of the women must have used their “charkhas” as firewood while the rest must have dumped theirs in a corner of some store full of cobwebs. Mann said his songs did not have a purely commercial angle. Most of the so-called singers had turned women into commercial commodities by presenting them in their videos. They concentrated only on dancing, singing and love. “Aj kal ghar ghar jaman gavaiye”, he said. Mann said he was highly impressed by Pakistan comadians like Amanullah and Shauki Khan. He said a comedy TV serial was under preparation which would be shown on either Zee or Sony. |

Different strokes on view Chandigarh, April 5 The exhibition that featured about 25 works by a group of nine ex- students of Government College of Arts reflected a host of emotions of the young minds ranging from the unfortunate disaster of Gujarat to the naked truth of human desire. Rajesh Kalsi expressed the basic nature of man-woman relationships and also man’s dominion over woman in “Naked truth” and “ Desire to catch” by engaging a simple technique of etching and aquatint.” Searching for Saint” is another work by the artist in etching where the artist has shown his quest for true knowledge. A tribute to the Kargil heroes were paid by Vinay Mallik in mixed
media. His another painting “ Gujarat Disaster” portraying the earthquake tragedy conveyed the message that mankind is still at nature’s mercy despite being technologically superior. Aditya Pandit in his abstract “Weight” showed the work pressure on today’s couple to reach the height. Sanjeev Kumar painted the contradictions of different religions by spraying colours on Burkha clad women in his oil painting on jute called “Holi”. Rajnish Sharma tried to capture the essence of Indian traditions with his series of folk paintings in bright colours. Among other exhibits , Ajay Yashpal’s “landscape” and “ Prayer to Shiv” in water colour were nice soothing pieces of work. The show was inaugurated by Mr
Madan Lal, Secratary of Punjab Lalit Kala Akademi here today. |
