SHAKES-peer!
To be or not to be…ambiguity confuses, but it also fascinates while mystery has a charm to it. William Shakespeare and his characters, if demystified then, wouldn’t have interested as many as they do now. Even today, it isn’t possible to draw conclusions about Shakespeare’s personality and all one can do is deduce certain traits after analysing his works. So when the opportunity came, we thought it’s our big chance to know the ‘demystified’ Shakespeare, and who better than RS White, an author and researcher of Shakespearean works, to explain it! Albeit the ambiguity continued and, “No amount of research can help one know his life history for there aren’t any written documents. His literary works are the only clues to his life,” White clears the air. Shakespeare’s works reveal that he had a liberal thought process. Even in the male-dominated society of those times, he wrote plays that had women as protagonists. Even in times when Christians and Jews had conflicts, he gave Jew characters of his play their due share to justify their acts, even when he was a Christian himself. “Shakespeare was extremely popular because he wrote for the masses. He catered to all sections of the society. In a way he was a strategist as well,” explains White, in the city on Friday to conduct a seminar on Scholars in Shakespeare: A postmodern Scrutiny, organised by MCMDAV College for Women. “All his works revolve around three facts of life — love, laughter and death, which are common to all civilisations,” he reveals. But Indians love to read his works for the striking similarity between the story lines. “Romeo and Juliet seems to be the English version of Indian stories such as Sohni-Mahiwal and Heer-Ranjha. There is also a co-incidental resemblance between the works of Shakespeare and Rabindranath Tagore,” he adds. Not just literature, his works somehow also reflect the social issues in India. “King Lear is the story of a king who has three grown up daughters. His problems and worries are same as that of any father with three daughters in India.” While Shakespeare has inspired many writers throughout the world, even the concept of patronization has been adopted from those times. “We have numerous art and literary councils that support artists and writers. These are formed on the same concept,” says White. And popularity of Shakespearean works is evident from the fact that a number of Bollywood and Hollywood projects are inspired from them. White refers to Omkara next. “The adaptation was near perfect, except for little variations to suit the Indian context.” Surprisingly, Shakespeare is losing readership in the West, even in his birthplace England, while he continues to be popular in India. White rues the fact, “Shakespearean tourism earns a lot of revenue for the government. But when it comes to people, it’s only a medium for entertainment and not education. The English seem to have taken their heritage for granted.” After 40 years of research on the literary icon, White does share a few secrets, which the world doesn’t know. “He lived with his mother, and aunt, who lost her 12 children. He thus developed respect for women and wrote wonderful tragedies.” There was another reason for his feminist inclinations. “He wrote women centric comedies at a time when Queen Elizabeth I ruled England,” share White. Some take from Shakespeare’s world indeed! ashima@tribunemail.com All works of Shakespeare revolve around three facts of life — love, laughter and death, which are common to all civilisations — RS White, author

SmART strokes
Here they are, the Gen Next artists-the duo Jiten Thukral and Sumir Tagra. At first glance, one may be tempted to dismiss them as just another pair of exuberant youngsters… maybe members of some rock band with Jiten's green trousers and green shoes, and Sumir's spiked hair in place, making style statements of their own.
But scratch the surface and you meet the hugely talented and originally innovative thinking artists whose expression is as profound as their visual vocabulary, dynamic and unusual, defying all conventional notions of what art ought to be. In the city for National Art Week of New Media organised by Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi, and Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi, while they deliver a lecture on Thursday evening at the Government Museum and Art Gallery Auditorium, Sector 10, they take select viewers down their short albeit momentous journey, dotted with many milestones. In the process, the viewers are not only left awe-struck with their body of work but more significantly by the unusual manner of representing it. So at one moment they couch the message of condom use on flip-flops (slippers), at another they delve into the grand Punjabi obsession of immigration to foreign lands by showing a huge dining table flying off. Flying houses (the Punjabi Baroque style of keeping up with Joneses) mirrors in yet another project comprising paintings. Crass commercialisation, brand culture, their artistic lament, "There are more malls than parks" pours by way of recreation of a departmental store with fake bottles and a faker brand name, paintings and much more. Today as they go about transforming gallery spaces, exhibiting works around the world at Mori Museum, Japan, Brisbane, Australia, Singapore, with a chuckle they recall the first time. "When we were first asked to move to gallery space we had no clue what to do with it till Peter Nagy, director of Gallery Nature Morte told us — burn the place if you wish." As the unbridled freedom of artistic expression sank in, they quip, "Installation is not just meant to be seen alone, but tasted and listened to as well." So in their project on foreign dreams they used a video clip of a Punjabi immigrant who has sung three songs encapsulating his journey. For the one meant to spread HIV awareness, they went out on the streets selling flip-flops. Between public art and the one meant for gallery space they don't see much difference except that materials have to be different. Blurring boundaries between videos, paintings, furniture, graphics and fashion and most importantly between popular culture and art, their background in communication design comes in handy. Trained in applied art and having worked for the advertising giant O&M, Jiten incidentally happens to be an alumnus of the Government College of Art, Chandigarh, itself. How the two met for the first time is not so earthshaking a revelation as their telepathic communion is. Where one leaves off… another takes over, when one is in the driving seat the other comfortable in the back chair, "The teaming", they say in unison, "is perfect. One plus one makes 11 for sure." In fact, after passing out from Delhi College of Art (Jiten did his post-graduation and Samir his BFA), what began as a visual dialogue on e-mail has today turned into a lasting collaboration and the world knows them better as Thukral and Tagra or better still as T&T. And to the world that understands India only through "Slumdog Millionaire" they have designed a project "I am India" to show the real face of their country replete with its highpoints as well as its contradictions. Soon to be shown in the US, as they go hopping from one part of the globe to another, being part of triennials and biennales at such young age, how do they feel? They quip "It's all about being in the right place at the right time." The rationale of their art, they may confess, is to capture a moment; most of their projects are for life. Not surprising another favourite catch line is - the campaign never finishes. Next on the anvil is one on deserted wives of Punjab. Art is the message… or message the art? But then knocking down boundaries is the forte as well as the raison d'être of the young artists who are only too glad to be in the business of changing views. |

Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is back with Guzaarish. And, he has once again teamed up with Aishwarya Rai in the film and says she is his muse. He also describes her as a timeless actor of Bollywood. "Aishwarya is my muse, my jaan and I get terribly excited when I make a film with her because she is very, very special. Some people are timeless and Aishwarya will be there for another 20 years," Bhansali said during the unveiling the first look of Guzaarish. This is Bhansali's third film with Aishwarya after Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) and Devdas (2002). Aishwarya said: "This was a very special film for us. We are glad to share this special piece of work with you before we reveal it to the rest of the world." The director was also all praise for his male lead Hrithik Roshan. "I have never enjoyed working with any other actor as much as I have enjoyed working with Hrithik, just for the kind of talent he has, for the kind of person he is," said Bhansali. In the film Hrithik Roshan will be seen as a magician, while Aishwarya Rai plays a nurse who is estranged from her husband. The film will reportedly touch the issue of controversial mercy killings. Bhansali has even composed music for the film as he couldn't rely upon anyone to get the right effect. There are eight songs in the film and 12 songs in the album. "The reason behind doing music of the film is that I think I understand the characters and understand most what they would express musically than any other music director. Some deep thoughts are my concern, so whatever little music I knew, it was a sort of experiment. But I am happy with what I have done," said Bhansali. Jointly produced by UTV Blink and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film would hit the theatres Nov 19. — IANS

It was a ‘magical’ day for over 100 underprivileged girl children from various orphanages in the tricity who were invited by Fortis Hospital-Mohali to a special function to commemorate the International Girl Child Day as well as the 4th anniversary of Chetna, a support initiative by Fortis for the girl child. The chief guest was S Bambah, one of the most distinguished citizens of the tricity. The young girls got to enjoy an entertaining and educational magic show. While performing the magic tricks, the magician also drove home messages on the importance of maintaining personal hygiene, washing hands regularly, brushing teeth twice a day as well as other relevant messages which were well-accepted by the children. Fortis also issued health cards the girl children, which entitle them to free health check-ups regularly, the first of which was done at Fortis itself. Fortis Hospital also announced that under Chetna it would be taking up the case of a five year old girl child, Meenakshi, who has been suffering from kidney disorder since birth. Speaking on the occasion, Col Harinder Chehal, director, Fortis Hospital Mohali, said “We’re at a juncture in history when a girl’s value to the society should be recognised, enabled and empowered. Young girls should be supported, nurtured, informed and given the opportunity to live to the fullest, safely and responsibly. And it is through Chetna, that Fortis Hospital Mohali attempts to do its bit towards promising our girl children a healthier and a brighter tomorrow.” Dr Gurbir Singh, Medical Director, Fortis Hospital Mohali, commented, “We at Fortis are concerned about the well-being of the girl child. Through our initiative Chetna, we are reaching out to a large number of underprivileged girls. As part of our outreach programme, we regularly conduct rural health camps in the neighbouring villages. We conduct educational talks, medical camps and provide medical care to some of these needy girls. It is our endeavour to contribute in a small measure to ensuring development and good health, protection and participation of the girl child which is her birth right.” —TNS Alarm bell Nearly five million female fetuses are aborted, even though laws have been passed to stop this despicable practice. More than 10,000 girl babies are victims of infanticide each year. Every sixth girl child's death is due to gender discrimination. Fifty per cent of all sexual assaults are committed against girls age 15 or younger. The leading cause of death for girls age 15-19 is complications from pregnancy.

Fujifilm India Pvt. Ltd., the wholly owned subsidiary of FUJIFILM Corporation, Japan, has come out with all new 18x super zoom camera. Kenichi Tanaka, managing director, Fujifilm India, said, "The feature rich S1800 which comes up with 18x optical zoom is a perfect camera for any shutterbug. Holding, look and feel like a DSLR, S1800 offers full manual photographic control for the more experienced user and an automatic scene recognition mode for beginners. With a very comparative price tag this camera is sure to get a wide and serious attention." FinePix S1800 comes with a mechanically stabilized CCD sensor and high ISO sensitivity (ISO 6400) for anti-blur protection, the combination of these technologies reduces the blurring effect of both hand-shake and subject movement to provide sharp, clean and clear results even at the longest zoom settings or in the most challenging of lighting conditions. Using Fujifilm’s Scene Recognition Auto (SR Auto), the FinePix S1800 cleverly selects the scene type and the shooting conditions present. The camera settings get adjusted accordingly, optimising results and making it easy to take good pictures. Instant zoom is an adaptable feature, which enables the users to keep their subject in shot at long distance by offering a wide viewing area around the frame and then cropping in to the subject once the photo is taken. Zoom bracketing is another useful function that enables three shots to be taken at the single press of the button, at varying degrees of magnification (original, 1.4x and 2.0x). This enables instant editing on the camera to choose the ideal shot, rather than having to go back to a PC to facilitate a digital crop. This camera also has Tracking Auto Focus feature. This function allows you to track moving subjects by half-pressing the shutter button and ensures that when you take the shot you capture your subject in centre of the frame and in perfect focus, leaving no room for frustrating missed shots! To further enhance the existing face detection system, Fujifilm has added two fun and valuable features: Smile and Shoot Mode can recognise the precise moment your subject smiles and releases the shutter only when this happens, ensuring that all your photos are happy ones. Blink Detection warns you if any of your subjects have blinked so that you can re-take the photo if necessary. New Auto Picture Rotation is a function that ensures your photos are always the right way around in playback. Whether you have taken a landscape or portrait image, you can enjoy your pictures whichever way around you are holding the camera, as the image will rotate in the screen to suit. Not to forget the Micro Thumbnail – a playback feature that allows for viewing an index-style image on the LCD. The FinePix S1800 will show up to 100 images in micro form. The control buttons are used to select specific images. — TNS

LABH byte!
Normally, we plan a career…but sometimes it follows its own course. For most Punjabi singers careers take shape, crossing one milestone after the other. Thank god for little mercies, some people know absolutely well what to do with their career! Singing to acting, the path is set and only a few wouldn't tread it, for most of them do. Labh Janjua, Punjabi-cum-Bollywood singer is one among many to follow suit. You heard it right; the singer will play villain and actor in three upcoming ventures. In the city to promote 92.7 Big FM's Big Punjabi Movie Awards 2010, to be held in October, Labh doesn't see acting as a chance happening. "I was always inclined towards it. I have the passion for acting. However, I cannot understand how every singer turns towards acting. Some people like Gurdas Maan, Harbhajan Mann are actors in the real sense. Rest should train, before they face the camera," says Labh. For sure you must have taken lessons in the same? "No, I haven't," he adds without any hitch. "I am a natural actor." (What did he just say? Let's see, he was being modest). "I think people will like me; I am working very hard for it!" Hard work, oh ya right! Punjabi singers moving to Bollywood for good? "It is the new trend now. What people wouldn't know is that we get to work on the whims and fancies of music directors. If they want they can give a full song, otherwise whatever they want," adds Labh, who shot to fame with 'Mundian To Bach Ke Rahi, Jee Karda (Singh is Kinng), Pyar karkey (Pyar Ke Side Effects). "In the long run, singers who are good with their work survive, rest have to settle with whatever they offer." Well, tell us something we don't know; something like how did he get work in Bollywood? "That is because I have a different style of singing," he says. (See we told you he is a modest man!). "Besides, I think I share a good rapport with the almighty." (This is not fair God; are you listening?). All said and done, Punjabi singers are leaving a mark on the music scene, which is why 92.7 Big FM is coming up with Big Punjabi Movie Awards 2010 to recognise and applaud their work. Says Labh, who has loads of projects in Bollywood up his sleeve, "If we don't applaud the efforts of our industry, who would? 92.7 Big FM is taking up this endeavour, which will boast their morale, and also bring forth the works of various artistes who have done so much for the industry." jasmine@tribunemail.com

Living life ‘Queen’ size
There is no way we can forget Queens; no way we wouldn't foot tap on I want to break free or The show must go on. Some notes stay forever. But an effort can be made to make them immortal and fresh. And this is precisely what UK's premier Queen tribute band, Rhapsody, Is This The Real Queen, aims to do. Formed in 2005, Rhapsody, a five-piece band, is like a tribute band that reproduces the original tracks by Queen. In the city to perform at the Golf Club concert on Thursday night, the five members - Alex Koronka (Freddie Mercury) plays piano and sings the lead vocal, Paul Smyth (Brian May), Ricky (guitarist David Clarke (John Deacon) plays bass and acoustic guitar and sings backing vocals, Jason Mercer (Spike Edney) plays piano and synthesiser — share what got them hooked on to Queen so much that they created a tribute band for the same. "Queen is one of the few bands that has all hits, one after the other," shares Alex. "Their songs are very strong and still have a standing. This is why we named the band after the famous song "Bohemian Rhapsody. Each one of us has discovered so much more about Queens after we began singing them. The respect for the band has increased many folds." This band tries to live up to the legendary name by singing originals with the same accuracy like the original band would. Shares the five, excited about performing in various cities and stations. "We play Queens songs over and over again, not even once do we get bored. Every time, it is a different experience. However, we do try to reproduce the same energy, which was the trade mark of the rock band." The USP of the band, besides the passion for Queens, is that they don't perform to backing tapes. Puts in Paul, "We play everything live, so that people enjoy Queens hits." You bet such dedication does not restrict their creativity. The members are also part of other bands. Three of them play for Stags. "Music is no something adapted, it is a way of life for each one of us," smiles Paul, looking at the other members for conformation. Freddie Mercury, the original Queen was a half Indian, so influences are normal. Shares Alex, "We have collaborated with Ravi Shanker for a concert. The group, however, feels that in India fusion music rules the roost. There isn't enough rock happening." The concert saw North regions first Cocktail Jockey, Vineet Mishra present exclusive fire flair show. jasmine@tribunemail.com

S(t)age wisdom
The history of mankind reveals that the holy utterances of certain prophets, sages and seers, replete with moral and ethical content, have had a marked impact on people. Likewise, the eternal teachings of saints like Kabir, Tulsidas and Guru Nanak Dev are full of wisdom," says musician and lyricist Shekhar Sen. Holding a rare record of 1,500 solo act performances of four mono-musical plays in India and abroad, composer-singer of 188 audio albums and five TV serials, including the Ramayana, Shekhar today is engaged in expounding the mystic significance of centuries-old Indian spiritual culture through theatre, the most effective medium of communication. After creating history with his productions like Bhagat Kabeer, Swami Tulsi Das and Swami Vivekanand, his latest is titled 'Saheb', which unfolds contemporary life's problems and ways to overcome them. In the city on the invitation of Cultural Affairs Department, Haryana, for a live performance of his classic mono-act play Kabir at the Indradhaunsh, Panchkula, he shares excerpts from his journey. Born to academicians Arun Kumar Sen, former VC of Khairagarh University, and Anita Sen, Shekhar did his B Com with music as additional subject. "In fact, I was raised in an atmosphere replete with musical notes. Later, I landed in Mumbai in 1979 to pursue a career in Bollywood. I did not fail, but the strange ways of the industry shocked and surprised me," he says. "As a trained vocalist, I preferred to sing ghazals of Dushyant before attempting to sing works of Pakistani poets like Sahiba Akhtar and others, written after 1947, which attracted the wrath of regional political parties. I experimented with various poets, but could not succeed as much as I would have liked to," he shares And it was then that his wife, Shweta, suggested that he should explore the mysticism of great Indian saints.

Win(e)some!
What is it about wine that is complicated, confusing and yet classy? White, rose and red; look, smell and taste? The basics are easy to get right. What beyond that? One thing is certain though - we certainly go on enjoying a glass of wine whether it's a romantic dinner, a casual cocktail or a formal party!
Reason enough to clear some air. So, Thursday afternoon had Siddartha Tandon, manager, training and activation, UB group, coming to the rescue of the clueless, by holding a session of wine tasting and educating about the most natural form of alcoholic drink. "Most people are unable to understand wines, thanks to the misconceptions and myths surrounding them. Through these interactive and experimental sessions we attempt to make wine more approachable and simple," he says. They even presented Four Seasons collection, which are India's most awarded wines. "The practical exercise will teach the consumers how to serve, store and buy wines, besides the techniques to consume them. Wine reflects a culture, it's more than just a scientific process and an artistic signature," he adds. The hour-long session had old world and new world wines (old world wines belong to France, Germany, Spain and Italy, and new world are from Chile, India, Australia and Argentina). Fine details like consuming wines at what temperature, to the effect of cork and screw cap to the texture and colour of the grapes used to make them, were discussed at length. "Red wines should be served at a temperature between 14-18 degree Celsius and white between 8-10 degree Celsius. One sip never really tells you about the real flavour, but constant swirling of wine helps in oxidation and bringing out different flavours of the wine," Siddarth offers help. Similarly, "Red wines should be served with red meats, rich textured gravies and white wines with sea food, chicken and grilled items. Rose wines go well with Italian food. Also, one should have soft cheese with stronger flavours of wine." Now, that's about getting the basics right, but beyond that wine is a high-end affair. What say? "For the ones who feel intimidated by it. Chandigarh has a market for wines, youngsters are liking it and so it's about time we educate people to make them self-dependent and fun too," says Siddharth. Well, someone who is a certified wine professional from the WSAT, London, and has eight years of experience in the industry, the statement becomes a fact. nehawalia@tribunemail.com |
