SDJM court for Dera Bassi soon
Mohali, March 9 Accompanied by Punjab principal secretary (home) B.C. Gupta, Justice Kumar visited the rest house in Mubarakpur where eight acres of adjoining land could be made available for setting up of the courts. Other than this site, the judge also visited the naib tehsildar’s court and the municipal library. Talking to mediapersons later, Justice Kumar said a single-judge court could be established by either upgrading the naib tehsildar’s courtroom or the municipal library. He added that once the site was finalised, the court could start functioning. President of the local Bar Association Rajbir Singh Mundra and general secretary Pradeep Rana thanked the judge for his visit and the interest that the high court was taking in meeting the long-standing demand for a court at Dera Bassi. The town was upgraded into a sub-division in 1998 and ever since residents have been demanding the setting up of a local court here. At present, the residents have to go to the courts at Rajpura for their work. However, since the town’s shift from being a part of Patiala district to SAS Nagar district, residents are facing a lot of problems in the Rajpura courts as the records are with the SAS Nagar administration. |

Kasprowicz. Praising the young guns of the Indian team, Kasprowicz was of the view that the young members are tremendously confident as well as talented. He said with the use of advanced technology in the middle of the pitch, now the people come to know about everything happening in the ground. “Otherwise on-field sledging and provocations are not new things to cricketers”, said the right hand bowler, who has 113 Test and 67 ODI wickets under his belt. On the new concept of Twenty-20 cricket, the 36-year-old cricketer said the Twenty-20 cricket gave my cricket career a new lease of life. “It’s just like as Karry Packer had infused life in the game around three decades before. The shortest version is new, fresh and different concept, which is definitely good for the game. Moreover, the introduction of ICL and IPL brings more opportunities for professional cricketer”, said
Kaprowicz. |

Art can unify a diverse world, says Sarmishtha
Chandigarh, March 9 Riding on the glory of her successful series of performances at Brighton festival, London, Mandap Centre Paris, France, and other countries, Sarmishtha is in the city for an Odissi recital on the invitation of the Pracheen Kala Kendra. During an interaction with The Tribune she disclosed that the Indian classical dances, with their rich thematic content, mystic looks, agile body movements, well patterned rhythmic moves and gestures embodied perfection and were revered by art lovers throughout the globe. “Though our compositions are enmeshed with and based on the stories of our spiritual and celestial deities and obviously beyond their immediate conceptual grasp they insist for complete details in advance,” adds the London based art promoter Iftekar Ahmed. A post graduate in political science and coming from a musical family of Kolkata Sarmishtha learnt Hindustani vocal music for 15 years. She was initiated into Bharatntayam at the age of seven before the spectacular features of Kathak and modern creative dances fascinated her. However, the soft influences and lyrical charm made Odissi her ultimate passion, which she is now promoting at the world stage. “I learnt every form of dance as a devout but my Guru Shiv Ram and her wife had instilled the best ingredients of Odissi like posture perfection, emotional expression and soft styled execution in me with which I have paved my way to stardom” she added.
