Symposium on “Hindi Navjagran and Shivpoojan Sahay” on the occasion of 125th Birth Anniversary of Shivpoojan Sahay.
“है कहाँ तमन्ना का दूसरा क़दम या रब!
हमने दश्त-ए-इम्कां को एक नक़्श-ए-पा पाया”
ہے کہاں تمنا کا دوسرا قدم یا رب
ہمنے دشت امکاں کو ایک نقش پا پایا
**मिर्ज़ा असदुल्लाह बेग़ खां ‘ग़ालिब’~ 27/12/1797- 15/02/1869**
बिला शिक़वा मिर्ज़ा ग़ालिब उर्दू अदब की तारीख़ के सबसे अच्छे शाइर हुए हैं। इसका अंदाज़ा इसी बात से लगाया जा सकता है कि जो क़लाम वो 150 बरस पहले लिख गए हैं, वो आज भी ताज़ा है। ग़ालिब को जितनी बार पढ़ा जाए, लगता है पहली दफ़ा पढ़ रहे हैं।
आइए कूचा-ए-शेर-ओ-सुख़न के सरताज मिर्ज़ा ग़ालिब की एक महफ़िल में शिरक़त कीजिए, ग़ालिब से जुड़िये, महसूस कीजिए।
इस इवेंट में आपके लिए पेश होंगी ये चीज़ें:-
* ग़ालिब की ज़िन्दगी जो कि काफ़ी हद तक misinterpreted रही, पर उनकी शायरी के हवाले से एक बातचीत का दौर।
* ग़ालिब के क़लाम: उनकी ग़ज़लें, उनके लिखे सहरा, मर्सिया का recitation
* ग़ालिब के ख़ुतूत(letters) की reading और उसके साथ उनकी ग़ज़लों का एक musical session
* अंत में एक सेशन सामईन के लिए कि वो ग़ालिब का कोई क़लाम, उनसे जुड़ी कोई बात, कोई अनुभव साझा करें सबके साथ।
इस एक छोटी सी कोशिश में शामिल हो कर शायरी के सबसे अलग अंदाज से रू-ब-रू होइए कि
“हैं और भी दुनिया में सुख़नवर बहुत अच्छे,
कहते हैं के ‘ग़ालिब’ का है अंदाज़-ए-बयां और!”

किस्से (Kisse) Connection has helped create kinship in its own strange ways.
MATI ( Management of Art Treasures of India) in collaboration with Art Konsult Gallery invite you to our lecture: Tribal Art and Culture for a Sustainable Society, featuring renowned speaker Kalyan Kumar Chakravarty.
Tribal art, as we have seen, is not art for the sake of art, but a very important part of tribal life. It is a reflection of their cultural environment, and is thus closely related to its other constituents like dance, drama, music, etc. It does not have a separate identity. In fact, none of these constituents exists alone in tribal life. Tribal art is the visual arts and material culture of indigenous people. Also known as ethnographic art, or, controversially, primitive art, tribal arts have historically been collected by Western anthropologists, private collectors, and museums, particularly ethnographic and natural history museums.
The objectives of this lecture are:-
1- To discuss the need to preserve our tribal art and culture.
2- To explain the types of tribal art.
3- Understanding the significance or importance of tribal art and cultural.
4- Contribution of tribal art and culture for a sustainable society.

“Harappans in the Ganga Valley: New Discoveries”
As part of Indian Archaeology Series.
Speaker: Dr. Bhuvan Vikrama, Archaeological Survey of India
The Harappan presence in the east of Yamuna has been attested at Alamgirpur (Baghpat) and at Hulas (Saharanpur), however, with an admixture of local or regional cultural elements, it represents a diluted form of the Harappans or its rural manifestation with no urban signatures. Recent, discovery of a large collection of copper objects from Harinagar (Bijnor) and a small scale excavation at Sakatpur (Saharanpur) yielding the copper hoard implements with Harappan artefacts has brought us to a point where a rethink of the Harappan presence in Yamuna-Ganga doab and beyond becomes imperative. The present talk will focus on the Harappan evidences found in this region and will discuss their significance and relevance.
Rembrandt and the Mughals is the subject of a new book and forthcoming exhibition at the Getty Center curated by Stephanie Schrader. Rembrandt made 23 drawings late in his career based on Indian paintings imported to Amsterdam from Surat. These portraits of rulers, princes and courtiers reveal how the contact with Indian art inspired him to start drawing in a different, more refined style, and on Asian paper. Schrader argues that the Mughal compositions Rembrandt copied were not merely curiosities, but carried with them specific associations of empire, trade, luxury and exceptional artifice.
Raza Foundation and Civil Services Officers’ Institute are holding a discussion on “Pleasure of Reading”, as part of series of ‘Art Dialogues’.
A rumour that ends in calamity; A girl who is demonised because of her ‘evil’ horoscope; A man who preys upon young girls; A train journey that forces a woman to look at her marriage anew; The gorgeous inner life of a shop girl; A child overwhelmed by the wonder and terror of his world…
Set in Kolkata and Delhi, the stories in this collection deal with love and betrayal, dogma and superstition, sexuality and thwarted desires. The characters belong to the world of urban, aspirational India where snobbery and rat race go hand in hand with class and religious conflicts.
Dark or funny, satirical or poignant, these stories are as much a snapshot of modern India as they are an intense crystallisation of the unpredictable chaos of life.
Come to the book launch and meet the likes of Mrinal Pande (Writer, Former Chairperson of Prasar Bharati, Senior Group Editorial Advisor to the National Herald Group),
Anita Agnihotri (Writer and Former Civil Servant), Poonam Saxena (Writer, Translator and National Weekend Editor, Hindustan Times).
