Water cannons used to disperse
protesting teachers
Chandigarh, September 12 The incident occurred at about 1.45 p.m. when the teachers marched to Matka Chowk and tried to lift barricades. The police personnel, already present there due to the ongoing farmers’ agitation, were taken by surprise at this development. They immediately swung into action and tried to disperse the protesters. The undeterred protesters however, continued to shout slogans even as the police threw water cannons on them. The protesters, then sat down on the road and started raising slogans. Interestingly, farmers present there in hundreds to press for their demands gathered around the protesters not knowing suddenly what had happened. Talking to TNS, the protesters said they wanted their demand of jobs to be fulfilled. They claimed that on February 8, the high court gave directions to fill the vacant posts. However, nothing had been done about it yet. “We should be issued appointment letters according to the high court directions,” stated a protester. The OSD to Chief Minister later visited the spot and was handed over a memorandum by the union. He assured them that their demands would be looked into.

Ex-PU Prof appointed Fellow in Academy of Sciences
Chandigarh, September 12 An autonomous international organisation founded in Trieste, Italy, in 1983 under the leadership of the late Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam, its principal aim is to promote scientific capacity and excellence for sustainable development. The Academy's Fellows and Associate Fellows (of which there are more than 700) are elected from amongst the world's most distinguished scientists and Prof Hans-Gill was one of 44 scientists inducted into the academy this year on September 4 and only one of the three from the field of Mathematical Sciences. And needless to add, this affable lady is delighted. "I have been teaching for many, many years and of course I was not expecting this. Someone must have forwarded my name," she smiles. Prof Hans-Gill's is known for her work within the field of pure mathematics-number theory with specialisation in the geometry of numbers-but mathematics happened to her
quite by accident. "The medical profession was my first love. My father was a doctor and I wanted to be like him." But the school in Gujjarwal near Ludhiana, where she was studying, did not offer maths and science. "So medicine was out of the question but my father taught me maths at home, so one can say it is my second love." From then on it was mathematics all the way. After her graduation and masters degree from Ludhiana she came to Panjab University on a research scholarship and started working here. At this time Prof R P Bambah took her in as his student and in 1964 when he decided to go the US, he took three of his research students with him. One of them was Prof Hans-Gill. It was here, at Ohio State University that she got her PhD and even taught for a year and a half before coming back to India in 1967. Today she is a NBHM (National Board for Higher Math) visiting Professor at the Centre for Advanced Study in Mathematics at PU and spends her time pottering amongst numbers, "continuing my research work on quadratic forms and view obstruction problems and learning more maths." As for her successes, she says there is no formula except "a passion for what one does, coupled with hard-work and consistency". But the most rewarding aspect of her work has been teaching. "I miss it. If one has good students in the class, there is nothing that can match it," she smiles.

Lawyers seek proper sitting arrangements
Mohali, September 12 More than 60 lawyers put up tables and chairs and entertained their clients while sitting in the open. It is reported that police personnel on duty objected to this activity of the lawyers and closed the main gate of the building. This however, did not, deter certain lawyers. It is learnt that some lawyers of the Kharar Bar Association also objected to this and reported the matter to the Additional Civil Judge, Senior Division, Ms Poonam Ratti. Mr N.S. Minhas, president of the SAS Nagar District Bar Association, said it was the fundamental right of lawyers to sit near a court complex. He said that more than a month had passed since they had been making requests to the authorities concerned to make some arrangements for them but nothing had been done so far. He said a meeting was held yesterday and it was decided to use the open space for sitting by lawyers till alternative arrangements were made. He said there was only one bar room which could be used only by lawyers and nobody else could enter it. As such it had become very difficult to discuss cases with clients. Mr M.S.Chohan, general secretary of the association, said the organisation was ready to give an undertaking that the present arrangement was only temporary in nature and lawyers would immediately vacate the space when alternative arrangements were made by authorities concerned. He claimed that Ms Poonam Ratti had seen the lawyers sitting in the open but did not object. The Judicial courts had started functioning from the building of a community centre on July 24. There was a scramble among lawyers for occupying space to place their tables and chairs outside the court complex. They were, however, not permitted by security personnel to have their way.

Theatre has to be innovative for survival: actor
“I weigh theatre in the scale of utility. What it offers should have meaning for life that we live and also for society we live in,” observed Mumbai-based thespian, cine actor and director Rajendra Gupta. In town to direct a play ‘Sirphire’ for the IPTA chapter of Mumbai in the ongoing national theatre festival, Rajendra shared his experiences and viewpoint on various aspects of the theatre with The Tribune.
Elaborating his viewpoint further he reiterated that theatre was the most effective medium for communication citing an oblique reference of a theatre production ‘Chankya’ in English of which he is part. ‘The theme of’ management’ in its wider perspective had been so immaculately elucidated that we have staged many shows for the major corporate companies on persistent demand. Likewise the powerful yet entertaining realm of theatre art can be utilised for other purposes of educational and social relevance. Belonging to a business family of Panipat , Rajendra studied at Kurukshetra University before his postgraduation in direction at the National School of Drama way back in 1972. Despite impressive roles in 27 films, including Lagaan, Sehar, Ammu, Hatya Mission Kashmir and Apne and a marathon TV serial Chanderkanta, Saya, Dulhan, forthcoming Kasme Vaade and Raavan, the theatre is his first love. Theatre teaches you to articulate and communicate your emotions and views in a candid and spontaneous expression. He maintains that ideal theatre is loyal to its people, their language, social realities and worthy of constant communication with the future. Any performance which touches your inner soul and tends to represent your sentiments is the ideal theatre production. Terming the theatre festivals as an annual ritual Rajendra Gupta negated its contribution in the proliferation of the art. Rather theatre has to be more vibrant and innovative for its survival. Unlike the cinema where budding actors are projected during publicity the theatre is no more an ‘actors’ medium’ as only the ‘directors’ dominate the show. Actors like me cannot be choosers for the film roles in view of financial constraints but for theatre we impose our opinion, says Gupta. ‘The factors like my impassioned love for the art, dreams, emotions and even failures constitute the driving force for my struggle to stardom as the best has yet to come from me, he professed. |

Exploring the richness of dialects
Chandigarh, September 12 Strange it may sound but Nandan has adapted “Waiting for Godo” to perfection in Chhattisgarhi. Not just that, he has also modified other western classics into Indian dialects like Bundeli, Bagheli and Bundelkhandi. In Chandigarh today to stage one of his finest productions “Charpai” during the ongoing theatre festival at the Tagore Theatre, the thespian said the process of adapting stories into local dialects was not tough at all. “It may seem so on the surface but it is not difficult. The simple reason is that local dialects are very rich, both with tradition and cultural influences. We have long underestimated them as narrow in appeal and weak in constitution. But in reality, they offer tremendous scope for assimilation. Any form of modern or post-modern literature can be translated into them,” he said. Born in Bihar, Alakh Nandan grew up in the lap of tradition, picking up influences as they came. Hardly had he known that these influences would return to inspire him when he would get ready to seek an awakening through theatre. After initial training and dabbling in theatre at Jabalpur, Nandan moved to Bhopal as assistant director of Rangmandal — the famed theatre repertory of Bharat Bhavan. “I was there for nine years, struggling to help the local population make sense of theatre. Being at Rangmandal was a challenge as we were expected to create space for theatre in a city which never had a tradition of theatre,” said Nandan. “Soon we were commercialising theatre without even the intention of doing so,” said Nandan, recalling how people of Bhopal who had never seen theatre were beginning to pay to watch productions. He has written five plays to date; the first being “Chanda Bedhni”, inspired by the tale of a community called Bedhni whose women traditionally practiced prostitution. “The story centred on one such bedhni (prostitute) whom the King fancied. Envious of the growing power of a prostitute over her husband, the queen engineers her murder and succeeds. But even in her death, the prostitute inspires a generation. She goes down in history as a legend. Today many landmarks in cities like Bhopal and Udaipur are dedicated to her,” Nandan says. “We speak for the voiceless. We also speak against the establishment lest complacency sets in and we, as a society, begin to rot,” says Nandan, who was just awarded Shikhar Samman — the highest award any artiste can get in Madhya Pradesh. |

True expression of French play’s adaptation
Chandigarh, September 12 The thematic essence of the convincing and authenticated adaptation of French Noble laureate Albert Kamu’s ‘The Just Assassins’ found true expression in the presentation. Acclaimed film actor Rajendra Gupta employed his directorial expertise to depict the ideological dimensions of the problem due to the widening gap between the royal rich and the poor during anarchy. There was an oblique reference to the untoward happenings in Nepal during the struggle against the insensitive and oppressive attitude of those at the helm of affairs. History repeated itself as a group of patriotic revolutionaries emerged to check and change the ideological superstructure of the ruling class. Armed with an impassioned and determined idealism, the group engaged itself in fighting the corrupt system, injustice and oppression, but failing, at times, to get rid of their emotions while executing the plans. Under the brilliant direction, Rahul Joshi, Nivedita Bauntiyal, Sanjay Sharma and Neeraj Pandey excelled. The background musical score and chiaroscuro effects augmented the production level, which had an all-time relevance for the socio-political milieu. |

Enthralling performance by Kumud Diwan
Chandigarh, September 12 Kumud began her recital with the composition ‘Sachi kaho mohse’ in ‘Raaga Mishra Khamaj’, which showed her strong base in applying ‘khatka’ and ‘murkhi’. She bared the ‘shringar rasa’ in the next rendition of a ‘dadra’ in ‘Raaga Pilu’. She moved on to present an item in ‘Raaga Pahari’, which was well received. As she doled out a ‘kajri’ in a light classical mould, her voice and persona had the audience spellbound. She continued to regale the audience with her mastery in presenting more numbers. As the grand finale, she sang Begum Akhtar’s ghazal ‘Un aankhon ka aalam’, followed by Shakeel Badayuni’s nazm ‘Ae mohabbat tere anjaam pe rona aaya’. Kumud’s flawless Urdu diction and rendering of ghazals were reminiscent of Begum Akhtar’s golden voice. She was accompanied by Jaishankar Mishra (tabla), Mohan Rawat (harmonium), Vinod Pawar (saarangi) and Pushpita Sen (taanpura). |

Baring the rot that poverty brings
Chandigarh, September 12 The script by Rameshwar Prem evokes deepest emotions as it follows the life of a man trapped by circumstances. All his life he has laboured hard, saved enough money and sent it back to his ancestral home where his family lives. But when it is time to seek some rest post-retirement, he can’t have it. Even after years of hard work, he has remained poor, unable to feed his family and escape the wrath that follows. His return is not a happy occasion — neither for him nor his family. As he enters his home, where he has longed to be for years, he finds no company. Lying on his cot — which the director uses as a symbol of lower middle-class penury — he bears the brunt of his situation. Among the many things he endures is alienation from his family and dissociation from his somewhat honourable past. Time and again he is rebuked by his own people for lying on the cot when all of them sleep on the floor. It is in this derision of the principal character that the justification of the title lies. The play, staged at Tagore Theatre, is also about how money makes the mare go and how its dearth can make all the difference. Bonded to one another by nothing expect suffering, members of the family live a wasted life, making no attempt to mend the situation. Contrarily, they find excuses for their misery and blame one another for the rot they suffer. The lower middle-class sensibility is finely dealt with in the production that has well-chosen musical scores composed Pt Ravishankar Bhaskar, Chandra Barkar, Banraj Bhatia and Sultan Khan. Rivlal Sangde has presented the songs for the play. Ajay Singh Pal does a fine job as the protagonist. Other actors in the production include Priyanka Thakur, Bishna Chauhan, Lata Sangde, Amit Sharma, Javed Zaidi and Mahendra Singh. The play was part of the ongoing theatre festival organised by the Haryana Public Relations and Culture Department. |

Chandigarh, September 12 With her fine performances at state and national levels, Gurbinder proved that her choice was a right step. She has made her family, well wishers and coach proud by winning the Punjab State Senior Swimming Championship five times on a trot. Gurbinder, a student of BA II at Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College, Sector 26, was also declared ‘the fastest swimmer of Punjab’ in the Senior State Championship held at Ropar recently. There she bagged four gold medals. In 2004, Gurbinder was the only swimmer of the state who qualified for the Senior National Swimming Championship and competed in the event with Olympians like Shikha Tandon. Apart from these, Gurbinder stole the limelight in the National School Games at Sirsa in 2004, where she not only won a gold medal but created a record in back stroke also. She clinched a silver medal too in the 50 m back stroke event. Expressing happiness over the achievements of her daughter, Mr Jharmal Singh, a former national level football player, said, “Being a football coach I wanted my daughter to play football earlier.

Praising the commitment of this 18-year-old swimmer, Chan said, “Gurbinder is very particular about her training schedule.
