SUMMARY:'Broomrider's Book of the Dead'- Book launch
DESCRIPTION:Gyaan Adab presents the first official pan-India launch of Mukta Sambrani’s Broomrider’s Book of the Dead. \nIn a time when people rush to be published and celebrated\, Mukta Sambrani plays with ideas across a wide range of themes and manages to hold down the fort of storytelling beautifully. Influenced by Doris Lessing’s The Golden Notebook\, the book contains her personal and historical voice in various contexts. Presenting the experimental writing in its quintessential essence\, the book will be launched with a multimedia presentation\, followed by dramatic readings and interaction with the author. Join us at Gyaan Adab as we celebrate the triumph of a writer who has been devoted to her work through thick and thin. \nAbout the book: The book rests on the premise that an unknown author called Anna Albuquar wrote a book that remained unpublished\, was lost and was pieced together when found in parts at a peanut vendor’s stall in Mumbai. Broomrider’s Book of the Dead is about time\, loss and memory. It brings to mind the question\, what happens to unknown authors who leave behind unpublished works? Could we be eating peanuts and ‘chana jor garam’ on fragments of what could have been the novel of the century? \n \nAbout the author: Mukta Sambrani was born and raised in India where she taught English and worked as a freelance journalist.  She has an MFA in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University. Her first book of poems\, ‘The Woman in this room isn’t lonely’ was published by Writer’s Workshop\, Calcutta in 1997. More recently\, her work has appeared in Verse\, Em Literary\, Laundry Pen and anthologies such as Bloodaxe book of contemporary Indian poets\, 60 Indian poets and others. The recipient of 2003 Audre Lorde creative writing\, she lives in Oakland California\, where she is a school administrator. \nENTRY FREE

DESCRIPTION:A film that celebrates childhood \nBrought to you by British Council\, Pune.\nGyaan Adab invites you to the screening of this award winning film which marks the beginning of a series of film screenings by the British Council that will showcase a range of British cinema. \nJ.M Barrie kept the child in all of us alive by introducing us to the land where dreams are born and time is never planned. Where one can just think of happy things\, and where one’s heart flies on wings. He introduced us to Never Land. He immortalized the innocence of childhood through his iconic character Peter Pan who taught us to believe – “All the world is made of faith\, and trust\, and pixie dust.” \n \nFinding Neverland is a semi-biographical film about the Scottish playwright\, his platonic relationship with Sylvia Llewelyn Davies\, and his close friendship with her sons\, who inspire the classic play Peter Pan\, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up. The film was nominated for several Oscars\, including Best Picture\, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor for Johnny Depp’s portrayal of J. M. Barrie. \n  \nENTRY FREE

SUMMARY:Lessons from Ruslana
DESCRIPTION:Gyaan Adab invites you to the launch of a motivational masterpiece\, Letters from Ruslana – In Search of Alternative Thinking by Amit Dasgupta that could reshape your destiny by changing the way you think. \nABOUT THE BOOK\nRuslana was the face of a Nina Ricci perfume. With her striking features she took the fashion world by storm and quickly became the toast of the glitterati. But who was she really and why did she look so unhappy? No one knew till one day they discovered that she was just another lost and lonely girl. Keeping Ruslana’s tragic world as the centerpiece\, Amit Dasgupta presents insights that take the reader on an inspirational journey exploring why we do what we do. Inspired from art\, literature\, history and philosophy\, the book is outstanding for the simplicity with which it tackles complex subjects and proposes an alternative perspective on thinking. Most of all\, it tries to unravel the mystery behind one question that bothers the modern generation: Why am I unhappy\, why do I fail and will I ever matter? \n \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nAmit Dasgupta was an Indian diplomat for over three decades and has travelled extensively\, on assignments\, within India and abroad. This unique experience brought him in contact with different cultures and ways of seeing things. Having retired from diplomatic service\, he has now decided to become a fulltime writer\, in both fiction and nonfiction\, exploring ideas that are related to the meaning of life and the pursuit of happiness. He lives with his wife in Visakhapatnam.

SUMMARY:Into The Blue Beyond
DESCRIPTION:MYSTIC\, India’s first poetry-music band\, takes us on a journey into the high Himalayas with enchanting lyrics and an evocative fusion of guitar and flute. Presented in three movements: Self\, Memory & Divine\, the concert unfolds – sharing the experience of evolving consciousness which magically reveals the spirit of the great mountains. \n  \nDeepak Bhanuse on the flute\nDeepak Bhanuse is a talented Hindustani classical flautist who is presently under the tutelage of the renowned Pt Keshav Ginde. Deepak has an MA in music (flute). He is a regular public performer in Mumbai\, Goa\, Bengaluru and works at the JW Marriot. He has been awarded the Pandit Pannalal Ghosh Award (2009) from the Amulya Jyoti Sanstha\, Pune and received the Venuvidya Shisha Vrutti (2009) from the same organisation. More recently\, he performed in Kalauatavam in Singapore. \n  \nMajid Aziz S. on the guitar\nMajid Aziz S started playing live in the early 2000s at the Pune Festival. He draws his inspiration from world music\, movies\, books\, places\, birds\, trees\, mountains\, blue skies\, food and eyes. Detailed guitar pieces created by him are highlighted by notes as clear as motifs or fine inlay work carefully laid on marble castles. Jazz and Spanish music inspires him the most. Majid is not a ‘note-by-note’ cover player but loves to improvise\, write his own pieces or adapts and fuses a theme/melody. \n  \n \nRandhir Khare lyrics & vocals\nRandhir Khare\, the award winning poet-performer\, is known for exquisite renditions of his poetry which create hauntingly beautiful whirls of sound.

SUMMARY:The World of Munshi Premchand
DESCRIPTION:Gyaan Adab celebrates Munshi Premchand’s 135th birth anniversary through an audio-visual presentation and cinematic narratives featuring some of his famous short stories- Boodhi kaki\, Kaffan and Idgah. \nA pioneer of modern Hindi and Urdu fiction\, Munshi Premchand was the first Hindi author to introduce realism in his writings. By pioneering a new form of writing- fiction with a social purpose- he believed literature was a powerful means of educating public opinion. \n \nIt is an ode to his genius that his writings have been translated not only into all Indian languages\, but also Russian\, Chinese\, and many other foreign languages. Written in a very direct and simple style\, the master’s stories made their own magic. His protagonists were always the people he observed around him. With each novel\, each story of Premchand reassures us that humanity is alive and well. \nIn a way\, the reader himself becomes a part of Premchand’s stories\, for all his fictional characters are real. They are living and breathing. Not just\, blank ink on white paper. It is this same magic that the Centre wants to reinstill for the evening.

He recorded many blues songs throughout his career and we feature a few of these numbers\, which are comparatively unknown\, including some rare versions available only on the special collectors label FTD/ SONY and other sources. \nOperating out of Pune and Mumbai\, the official Elvis Presley Fan Club of India (EPFC) was founded informally in the early 60s’. Over the years\, the club has organised several concerts and shows. The Club meets informally at least four times a year and also on special request. Those interested can contact us to set up private music or movie session.

SUMMARY:Vanity Fair
DESCRIPTION:From the novel by William Makepeace Thackeray.\nBrought to you by British Council\, Pune. \nGyaan Adab invites you to the screening of this film\, which marks the continuation of a series of films presented by the British Council that will showcase an exciting range of British cinema. \nLondon\, 1802: Born to poor parents\, Becky Sharp (Reese Witherspoon) has always aspired to be a member of England’s upper classes. Leaving her boarding school and best friend\, behind\, Becky associates herself with the Crawleys\, eventually falling in love with their son\, Rawdon. The marriage is happy at first\, but deteriorates when Rawdon’s fortune dwindles.
