Ghazal ke
GHULAM!
There are very few people whose wisdom speaks in the way they conduct themselves; ghazal maestro Ghulam Ali is one among them. In Chandigarh for a concert being organised by the Naad Foundation, the Pakistani Ghazal singer speaks to the delight of all those present.
His mere presence set the cameras rolling. Between the light of the flash bulbs, he steps forward and misses the microphone! In his baritone voice, he says, "Zaayada baton se kuch nahi hota, ek baat hi aaram se ho jaye to accha hai." Draping a shawl, he exuded all the charm that he is known for. A promise with the foundation five months ago gets him here again. "Insaan ki insaaniyat issi main hai ki who waada poora kare," he says in a moderate tone. Born to a sarangi player in 1940, Ghulam Ali fondly recalls his first radio performance. "It was in 1955 in Lahore; an audition in Radio Pakistan for a children's show," he says. His first feeling of anxiety and nervousness came when he was only heard for just eight seconds. "It was the assistant director's encouragement, which gave me the right push," he recalls. Into the inspiring world of ghazals since the age of six, the voice becomes sad at the mere mention of Jagjit Singh. "Our first interaction was in 1976 when we both went to London together. We would make it a point to be a part of each other's performance," he says. After Jagjit Singh's death, he feels that the void can never be filled and is aware of the upcoming generation of singers, who have pretty large shoes to fit into. "The upcoming generation does understand the essence of ghazals, but there is no doubt that the listeners are weak," he rues. The singer also points out the lack of focus on poetry and compositions in today's generation of singers. Known for blending gharana gayaki into ghazals, lending the seasoned creativity to his singing, he is a man who has no time for rest. "I have been travelling between London and Lahore; today I am here in this beautiful city," he smiles. At the point where most others are more inclined towards singing for themselves, he says, "Jab tak aawaz main dum hai, hum zaroor gayenge." Named after the famed Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali, the famed singer had the fortune to learn from the experts themselves. "When it comes to ghazals, the basics are very
important. Since Ustaad sahib was occupied, his brothers taught me and the result is for everyone to see," he smiles. Declining popularity in traditional dialects and languages is sure to impact his form of
singing as well. "The government should take steps to ensure the languages sustain in the days to come," he says. Pakistan holds a special value for Ghulam Ali. Comparisons are bound to occur, "The hospitality there mostly surpasses every place. Sur wale aadmi kisi ko galat nahi samajthe," he says, focusing on the purity and sanctity of music. It is not difficult to notice the few women ghazal singers. "There are several voice modulations, which don't suit a woman's voice. The voice of a ghazal singer should be sharp yet soft… ek lihaaze ke saath," he says. With everyone marching towards modernity,
Ghulam ali says, "Humare buzurg keh kar gaye hain ki ek jagah khade ho jao to duniya wahin ekktha ho jayegi." He wraps up the never-ending argument of looking at the western world! vasudha@tribunemail.com

Tunes of the land
When artistes around the world are serving high doses of vulgarity and violence in order to sell their creations, just in the name of public demand, there is one odd singer from Punjab who is the flag-bearer of the rich culture and heritage of the state. Pammi Bai is out with his new album, Punjabiyan Di Balle Balle. The title track pans across the globe and brings in Punjabis doing well in politics, business and other walks of life. Mirza is next; set in real Punjab and Marji takes you on another trip. The ten tracks in total, present different facets of life. As goes with his reputations, once again the songs as well as their videos evoke a charm without compromising, just to suit youngsters' tastes. As an artist and bearer of rich Punjabi legacy, Pammi is firm in his resolve to bank on his voice and art to create magic. "I fail to understand why artistes create videos that they can't see with own sister, mother or daughter," wonders Pammi, on the occasion of the release of his album at the Punjab Kala Bhawan-16 on Wednesday. One among the many persons that Pammi is grateful to is his producer HS Aulukh. "Today, it's not easy for the artistes. To reach the audience one needs to make videos, which entail a lot of expenditure. I am thankful to Aulukh who bore the expenses," he says. The album, produced by Vanjhali Records, is priced at Rs 140 and comes with handwritten lyrics by Pammi. The songs are up on the Internet and you can download them legally. The business of albums no more gets one audience and attention as before, so Pammi is next working on his own Live Folk Studio in Patiala. "Live has something enthralling about it, that's what we are working on." Pammi is all set with his live folk band comprising 12 members. He is also planning to record young artistes free in his studio, only condition being that he should be able to sing live. mona@tribunemail.com |

All that glitters is…. platinum!
All that glitters is not gold! True. Platinum is the new gold of the metal industry! Well, talking trinkets, platinum is the new metal that is attracting people and why not, this silvery-white metal has always been an enigma.
Although for we Indians nothing replaces the yellow metal, gold, for some the sheen of the white metal is too tempting. “Platinum has long been used to make rings and other pieces of jewellery, but the precious nature of platinum was not very well known until recently. And due to designer patterns and use of diamond with this metal, the complete piece looks stunning. “Platinum is only being used by people who know the metal and love designer jewellery,” says Rajeev Patwal, store manager, Tanshiq. Talking about the metal, Savvy from Silver Haze says, “Platinum is naturally white and does not tarnish over time. It can withstand high pressure and temperature. As a result, it requires a skilled hand to craft a piece of platinum jewellery. Even though platinum is denser than other metals, it can be drawn into fine threads that can withstand high levels of tension, thereby giving the jeweller greater freedom in terms of design possibilities.” Though platinum has always been the luxury metal of choice for wedding bands and trousseau gifts, this is definitely the metal to go for as there is nothing like sealing your relationship with something that would never tarnish! “That’s not all; platinum is now being used in men’s jewellery too. Men like platinum as compared to traditional gold for rings and chains,” says Gurpreet Dhillon, diamond jewellery merchant from Phase VII, Mohali. Platinum is a metal that is exciting and inspiring jewellery-makers to create new designs, the latest trend is to draw it into thin threads in which precious stones and gems can be suspended. “Hollow or tubular designs, which give the impression of filigree work are also in vogue, as they can be both vintage and modern in appearance. For those who prefer simple yet tasteful jewellery, floral designs are a rage in platinum pieces. Diamond-studded flower earrings or necklaces adorned with thread-work leaves and vines are also in for classy evening outs,” says Rajeev. Talking about the high price of the metal, due to its pure nature platinum is placed at a position higher than that of gold. And if modern innovation is your style, platinum is surely the metal to go for!

YRF goes international…
Bollywood’s prestigious production house Yash Raj Films (YRF) is now ready to make inroads in the American film industry—it has launched a new wing, YRF Entertainment, in Hollywood that will develop and produce feature films for the US and international market.
Actor Uday Chopra will serve as the CEO of YRF Entertainment. The new company is funded by Yash Raj Films, the 41-year old studio which was founded by Yash Chopra. Uday, who has featured as an actor in many of his father’s productions like Mohabbatein, Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai and Dhoom series, is excited about the new venture. “My family has a deep commitment to making and distributing quality films that entertain and enlighten audiences. I share that passion, as well as a love for American films that I have had since childhood. It is that enthusiasm and my love of the creative process of filmmaking that drove me to start this new venture,” Uday said in a press statement. He has hired Jonathan Reiman to head development and production of the new company, which is currently producing and financing The Longest Week, a comedy which stars Jason Bateman, Olivia Wilde and Billy Crudup. Uday tracked down the project after the original financier had to abandon the film and immediately fell in love with the material. YRF Entertainment is also preparing a slew of projects that it will develop and produce from scratch. The first such project is an untitled action-comedy by Dan Ewen of Opposites Attract fame about two 20-somethings who run away to pursue big dreams and become an unlikely duo. Meanwhile, the parent company, YRF, is busy in the promotion of Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, co-starring Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh. — IANS

I’m still a bad girl: Jolie
Actress Angelina Jolie, who experimented with hard drugs and self-harming during her teenage years, says she still has those traits.
“I’m still a bad girl. I still have that side of me. It’s just in its place now. It belongs to Brad. Or our adventures,” said the 36-year-old. Jolie, known for her wild past, also feels “lucky” to have not died young. “I went through heavy, darker times and I survived them. I didn’t die young, so I’m very lucky. There are other artists and people who didn’t survive certain things,” she said. “People can imagine I did the most dangerous and the worst. For many reasons, I shouldn’t be here. You just think (about) those times when you came too close to too many dangerous things, too many chances taken, too far,” she added. — IANS

Deep impressions
Not all feelings can be expressed; some reverberate in the mind, trying to find a vent. And then they flow, effortlessly assuming different shapes on the canvas. The ongoing exhibition of paintings, Insight’ 11, presented by ArtDot at Punjab Kala Bhawan, is an amalgamation of experiences and feelings. As many as 13 artists, including Dr Surjit Kaur, who is well-known, have put up their works.
A quiet and observant Gurmukh Singh Mangat, principal Government Senior Secondary School, Hazara, Jalandhar looks deep into his work – landscapes and nature. “I am amazed at myself; even after years of association with the paint and brush, I still feel that each time I have a different thought and a different mind to express.” Inspired by nature, which he has abundant in his village, Gurmukh Singh expresses it through a wet-on-wet technique. Interpretations do not conform to a rule, which is why different artists have all together different ways of expressing an experience or thought. Manan Walia, assistant professor, department of painting, Kanya Maha Vidyalaya, Jalandhar, uses textures and flowing colours to depict the mystical element of nature. “Nature has such varied elements that you cannot express them in words. They assume a surprising form when as an artist I pick up my paint and brush. It is magical,” she adds. Bamboo trees, a tree with spread roots, Manan captures the mystery of nature in its various manifestations. Lines and hues develop into a landscape in Sukhwinder Singh’s paintings of trees, water and sky. He integrates all the elements to give a Brahmanical touch to his paintings. At Insight’11, nature is not the only expression; depiction of human forms in different styles has also been captured intricately by certain artists. Seema, a teacher in Police DAV Public school, Jalandhar, is inspired by female forms. “They are a visualisation of my inner self. These forms depict my mood and emotions,” she says as we notice that all her paintings have a brightness of colours. Suruchi, another artist, is inspired by the human forms. She, however, is interested in how
they emerge out of rough surfaces and hurdles. “I use monochromatic hues and textures in a subtle manner to bring out the extremities of life.” jasmine@tribunemail.com (On till November 25)

Celeb point
Akela hi chala tha janebe manzil magar, log milte gaye, karwaan banta gaya..that’s life for me…
Every new place I go to for shooting, I get disoriented. Away from my comfort zone and home, some new place, new people. And I take time to acclimatise...and then I get so comfortable, I don’t feel like coming back. Strange and ironical, but that’s what I am, I guess men would say, ‘most women are’ and I am no different! I am shooting for Vikram Bhatt in Jodhpur along with Karisma Kapoor. Vikram and I were to do a film together years back, which didn’t happen. This time he called me up with a lovely role saying, “I owe you one”. He is one of my
very favourite people. He is very sensitive and intelligent. Must say a lethal combo! I am very glad to be working with him finally. I have ma for company. The best I could ask for. She and I are best travel partners. I wasn’t shooting on the day of travel. So, I asked the production team to organise a sight-seeing tour for me. The lovely local organiser came himself to show us around. Right from the forts, palaces, markets, yummy food joints! He, in his enthusiasm to show his city, didn’t leave any corner. By the end of the day, we forgot we were meeting for the first time. Such warmth and care! Next day was a day of hectic shoot. And patience is most definitely not my virtue. But as I reached the set, the lovely place amazed me and shooting was so much fun. As I packed, I got a call from the same gentleman, “Haanji ghanikhamma madam, ghar ka khaana
bhijwayen?” I didn’t for a second felt I was away from home. How people bond—amazing! And everytime, I take back cherished memories of these lovely people who go out of their way to look after you for nothing in return. Except to be remembered fondly. As I get ready to sleep, I remind myself to tell the gentleman, “Kal set pe ghar ka khaana zarur bhijwana, ghanikhamma.” (Dutta is a Bollywood actor)

Trendsetter
Fashion maybe followed blindly but style has to be cultivated. Style also incorporates the right consonance with the demand of the occasion. It might be achieved by safely sticking to brands or some adventurous styling. Fresh MBA graduate Sunpreet Singh Ghataura is all for suitability.
Your sense of style… I feel style is very personal and though it should look pleasing but primarily it should gel with the one’s own persona. I am always impressed with the style of the turban and branded shoes! Latest addition to your treasure of clothing or accessories… My two perfumes Eternity and Polo which I got from America recently. Brand crazy or street pick ups? Mostly brands for me like for shoes. I wear only Nike. My style icon would be… I am impressed by
the dressing style of politician Bikram Singh Majithia Who do you think is the worst dressed celebrity? I think all Punjabi singers come under
this category. Which look would your prefer – sporty, chic or glamorous? Glamorous hopefully! One fashion trend that goes beyond your comprehension… Sports shoes with formal trousers are a complete fashion misfit. Your take on accessories? They are very important but for us they must be classy and not punkish at all. What gives you a high on the confidence level? When I wear what I like, it gives me confidence and when there is a compliment thrown in, it is just –wow! (As told to Poonam Bindra)

Set the pattern
Simmi Waraich I am a doctor. I met my wife in medical college and we got married after MBBS. We have been fighting a lot and she has often said she wants a divorce. We fight in front of our little son too. I feel I cannot continue to live this way. It is better to separate but I want to feel I have tried everything. Himesh, Chandigarh It is tough when there is a lot of conflict in the marriage. Going to a marriage counsellor regularly for at least six months may help to set rules and to optimise the positive interactions. In a marriage, the behaviour and attitudes of one partner elicit a reaction in the other. These destructive patterns need to be dropped and new rules established. I am a 22-year-old girl. I married young and did not finish college. I like painting as a hobby. I get upset easily and am very insecure regarding my husband. I accuse him of talking to other women though I know he would never have an affair. He is very caring. I have few friends. I don’t do much housework as I have help. I don’t feel like doing anything these days. Kavita, Chandigarh Feeling insecure about your husband may be due to a deep sense of low self-confidence. In life we get confidence from many things—appreciation form others, having achievements in life etc and also from a basic belief in oneself. Ask yourself if you believe in yourself and if not, why not? What are your strengths? Now, in a day how often do you tell yourself— “Hey, I’m good at this. I did a good job.” And how often do you put yourself down? If you do, change that. Write down your strengths on a paper as if you had to submit a resume about yourself and read these out to yourself daily for five days. (Dr Waraich is a Chandigarh-based consultant psychiatrist.

In fact, now you can obtain something by moving slowly and being constant. Be content with your position and you’ll go far. Be an active voice at work.

In fact, it’s better to deal with things immediately to avoid having to shoulder all the blame. You should try to kill two birds with one stone. You will harbour lingering regrets if you don’t rectify the situation. You show a rather challenging 2012 with schedule issues, temper tantrums, especially with/over Gemini. Pets may be an unexpected expense. Good financial position is ahead. One way or another you’ll gain a better rank in your career. Your salary will increase over a period of time. Listen closely to the ‘observations’ of friends, especially if they are trying to give you hint, insight or clue to your behavior.
