Bridal collections displayed Chandigarh, November 22 Showcasing trousseaus of brides from 14 Indian states were the students of the academy. Escorting brightly dressed-up brides were bridegrooms from the respective states. The show was choreographed by Shireen. Although the theme being handled was purely traditional, the music that played in the background was not the wedding music. The choreographic sequences were set to Western tunes and hence did not gel too well with the mood and the theme. However, enthusiasm of the students and the crowd kept the show going. Interestingly, even the Governor sat through most part of it. Displayed at the ramp were bridal collections from Jammu, Kashmir, Punjab, Bihar, Maharashtra, Orissa, Karnataka and other Indian states.  |

Jazzy harps on tunes of “Tera Roop” Chandigarh, November 22 First it was Surma, which broke barriers like anything and sold like hot cakes. Then it was O kehri, yet another musical bonanza from Jazzy, alias Jaswinder Bains, who never forgets to team up with his friend and ally music maker Sukhshinder Shinda. Following close in line with the earlier hits he has delivered, Jazzy today made another musical offering at the Chandigarh Press Club. Flanked by the Tips team, he talked of his passion to make money and also promote Punjabi culture in the process. Never mind the fact that his earlier albums were close to be dubbed as “obscene.” Jazzy admitted that he had learnt from his past mistakes. “You make mistakes but the grace lies in accepting them and improving the future.” The latest album, “Tera Roop”, is, therefore, exceptionally clean, as was visible in the video clipping shown to the press this afternoon. The themes of the album vary from love to friendship and a celebration of Punjabiat. As of now, the singer, who is the most heard one in the discotheques around, is happy doing his musical bit. “But finally I want to work and sing for Sunny Deol. I have left it to Tips to give me this opportunity. Till then I will wait and keep doing my work, which centres around making music and spreading it to as many parts of the world as possible.” There are nine songs in the album, which reflects the style of Punjabi singer Kuldip
Manak. |

Artists weave magic Chandigarh, November 22 With exclusive concentration on collage making, the workshop dealt with the various aspects of execution of collages, which are traditionally considered difficult to compose. Derived from the French word “gluing”, collage can be created out of anything ranging from cloth and paper to newsprint and even glass. That many other external elements also contribute to the beauty of collage was evident after taking a deeper look at the works of 47 people who participated in the workshop. On display are works reflecting varied themes — from life and reality to abstract themes which translate the dreams of artists. Most of the artists have used cloth and paper with the exception of a few who have used hand-made paper, like S.D. sharma who beautifully composes a woman’s figure in this medium. Kavita Kansal’s reflection of eternity through the medium of art is impressive so is her deft handling of the elements employed in the making of the composition which portrays time. Bharati Sharma creates autumn using pieces of muslin and silk cloth. Nostalgia and hope breathe simultaneously in the works of Anand Sharma, who lends his art work a philosophical touch by indulging in the eternity of time. The subject matter of various collages differs on the basis of artists’ perception. There are all sorts of themes on play, from figures like village, mermaid, landscapes, city scapes, tribal dances and jungle life to abstract art like dreaming, rhythm, bandagi, fallacy, pleasure and seasons. The exhibition will last for a week. |

Verses that reflect emotions Chandigarh, November 22 The weight of the words is hard to counter. At Haryana Nivas this evening, such verses flowed in abundance, reflecting emotions in all their hues. As the poetesses of Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu shared a common stage to voice nearly common concerns in the language of poetry, it became virtually impossible to remain untouched and unaffected. Dr Naseem, a Lucknow-based poetess, undoubtedly ruled the roost in the programme. She doled out beautiful ghazals to suit the mood of the evening. Drawing inspiration from social experiences and also from personal ones, she struck an instant rapport with the audience, although she was among the last ones to recite her poems. She presented life in all its shade, lending a meaning to the trilingual poetic symposium jointly organised by the Haryana Urdu Akademi, the Haryana Sahitya Akademi and the Haryana Punjabi Sahitya Akademi. Impressive verses were recited by many Punjabi poetesses, including Dr Pal Kaur, whose nazm “naap anaap” was a beautiful juxtaposition of melancholy thoughts. “Paya si chola kade ek par sungadda raha jism ode vich,” another nazm that she read was titled “Dada Faqir”. Among other Punjabi poetesses, Dr Gurminder Sidhu was highly impressive, so was Ms Manjit Indra, whose “Buha na bari na koi banera, diva jalake vi rakhaange kithe,” was highly applauded. Dr Gurminder’s poem “Meri Gut” reflected the urges of a woman next door and made a statement of aplomb. It read: Kade bijli kade titli kade kachnaar meri gut...” Dr Sarojini Pritam, Dr Kirti Kale and Dr Shakuntala Srivastava thrilled the audience with their inimitable rendering of ghazals and geets. Dr Pritam took on the humorous wave and saw it through till the audience could have no more of it. Dr Kale, in her youthful voice and gesture, presented beautiful pieces beginning from ‘Sharada vandana’. She then went on to trap youth in her words and reflect the aspirations of adolescents. “Chhipaye se nahi chhipti dil-e-bimaar ki khushboo”. With these words, Kirti Kale built bridges of affection in the hall where she later presented other ghazals. She was followed by Dr Srivastava” ghazal “Baat woh kis tarah bataun tumhe”. |
