The session will be enhanced by traditional Kahwa tea to add to the flavour of the evening. \n\nPragnya Wakhlu is an award winning singer\, songwriter and musician from India.

SUMMARY:Sojourn
DESCRIPTION: The Stories That Feet Tell\nAn Exhibition of Drawings By Sucheta Siddha \n\n\nFrom infancy to adulthood and beyond\, our feet feature in numerous social\, cultural\, community and religious customs\, beliefs and practices. But these don’t leave any impression on the stories of our lives. People do. Those who walk in and out of our lives leave footprints that knowingly or unknowingly change the paths of our lives for better or for worse and in the process alter our perspectives. \nIn this exhibition\, Sucheta Siddha uses the essential form of feet to explore this complex and many faceted experience in order to provide multiple perspectives for the viewer – from which life and relationships can be viewed. The drawings on display in this exhibition have been selected from her series of 150 thematic works that explore life and relationships using the image of feet. \nHer line drawings are sharply defined\, confident and energetic. Their immediacy is evident as they connect with our lives at an essential level. The physical is reinforced and made symbolic\, challenging the viewer to also look at larger emotional\, social and ethical implications. Borne out of deep internal experience and reflection\, the drawings express the emerging accomplishment of a talented artist. \n  \nSucheta Siddha has had one solo show and has participated in two group shows. She has an  MA in Fine Arts  (SNDT\, Pune)\, Art Master ( Abhinav Kala Mahavidyalay\, Pune) and Applied Art Diploma(Abhinav Kala Mahavidyalay\, Pune)\, and wide experience in art education in schools\, art direction in print media newspapers and weeklies\, in-house publications of industrial houses and has led design and marketing initiatives in the laminate industry. \nDate: 12th March 2016\, Saturday.\nInauguration: 6.30 pm on March 12th\, Saturday. \nThe exhibition will remain open from 12th-25th March 2016. \nENTRY FREE \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening -  Bhopal Diaries and A World Within Four Walls
DESCRIPTION:Gyaan Adab invites you \nto the screening of films \nBHOPAL DIARIES\nand \nA WORLD WITHIN FOUR WALLS\nBhopal Diaries: Bindu\, a naive immigrant woman in Bhopal makes mobile videos of herself talking about everyday incidents and sends it to her husband Mohan – a soldier\, away on duty protecting the nation’s borders.

But her joyous facade will collapse soon in the face of a greater tragedy that awaits them.\nA World Within Four Walls: Human beings are fame hungry by nature\, but sometime fame can perturb someone\, disturbing the personal life and hindering privacy.

Siddiqa’s faith on Allah\, her humanity\, her innate womanly affection towards her nephew and her exasperated view of life enthused the director to make this film. \n  \nABOUT THE DIRECTORS \nArchana Borhade is a director and cinematographer. She worked at Wipro Technologies as a SAP consultant for 2 years before making a career shift to filmmaking in late 2007. She worked on several prestigious Bollywood films\, ranging from low budget indie Aamir to big budget blockbuster\, My Name Is Khan.
