Arham Khan is a promising young Sarangi Player carrying forward one of the most revered legacies in Indian classical music.

He is the grandson of the legendary Sarangi Samrat Ustad Sabri Khan Sahib, a towering figure who took the sarangi to the global stage and transformed its presence in both classical and world music.

Born into the prestigious Moradabad Gharana, Arham represents the newest generation of a lineage that has preserved and enriched the sarangi tradition for over four centuries.

Arham Khan is the son of Ustad Ayyub Khan, himself a dedicated Sarangi Player, and the nephew of Sarangi Sultan Ustad Kamal Sabri, an internationally acclaimed maestro known for his innovative approach, global collaborations, and deep commitment to keeping the sarangi relevant in contemporary musical discourse.

Growing up in such an extraordinary musical environment, Arham was naturally immersed in the rich soundscape of raga, tala, and nuanced improvisation from an early age.

Under the guidance of his elders and inspired by the monumental achievements of his grandfather and uncle, Arham has begun shaping his own musical identity while remaining deeply rooted in classical discipline.

His playing reflects sensitivity, maturity, and a sincere understanding of the sarangi’s emotional depth — qualities that are hallmarks of the Sabri family tradition.

Even at a young stage in his journey, his performances reveal a balance of reverence for tradition and curiosity for exploration.

Arham Khan stands as a symbol of continuity and hope for the future of the sarangi. As he progresses under the blessings and mentorship of his distinguished family, he carries not only an illustrious name but also a responsibility to uphold and advance one of India’s most soulful musical heritages for generations to come !

Pune Hosted Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar Memorial Ceremony & Lata Mangeshkar Medical Awards Evening Honouring Her Legacy Of Compassion

Pune, India: A special evening blending remembrance, music, and medical service unfolded in Pune on Friday, 6 February 2026, at 6:15 PM onwards at Yashwantrao Chavan Natyagruha, Kothrud, as the Lata Mangeshkar Medical Foundation presented the Lata Mangeshkar Medical Award during a commemorative ceremony dedicated to the life and values of Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar.

The programme was accompanied by a musical tribute titled “Santwani & LATA HRYDAY – In Reverence to Lata Didi,” convened by Manisha Nischals Mehak Concerts.

Organised in association with Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital & Research Center, the ceremony paid homage not only to the legendary voice that defined generations of Indian music, but also to the spirit of service that Lata Mangeshkar championed throughout her life.

The medical award recognised distinguished doctors and healthcare professionals whose dedication to patient care reflected those same humanitarian ideals.

This year, the Foundation presented its first Bharat Ratna Lata Dinanath Mangeshkar Vaidyakratna Award to Dr. (Prof.) S. Rajshekaran, Chairman, GANGA Hospital, Coimbatore.

The evening was graced by  Dr. Vishwanath Karad, Founder of MIT Group of Institutions, as the Chief Guest. Among the eminent dignitaries in attendance were Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar, Pt. Suresh Talwalkar, Pt. Shankar Abhyankar, Dr. Dhananjay Kelkar, and Dr. Sameer Jog.

The evening was compered by Dipti Bhagwat.

Where Music Met Medicine

Instituted to celebrate excellence in healthcare, the Lata Mangeshkar Medical Award extended the Mangeshkar family’s legacy beyond the world of music and into the realm of healing. The honour recognised doctors whose service, skill, and empathy had made a meaningful difference to countless lives.

A Soulful Musical Tribute to Lata Didi

The cultural highlight of the evening was Santwani & Lata Hryday, a devotional and classical musical tribute inspired by the spiritual depth and emotional resonance of the poetry of Sant Dnyaneshwar, Sant Surdas, Sant Kabir, Sant Tukaram, and Sant Meerabai, as rendered through Lata Mangeshkar’s musical journey.

The segment featured performances by Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar, Pt. Shankar Abhyankar, and singers Vibhavari Joshi, Manisha Nischal, Shreyasi Pavgi, Rutuja, and Prachi, alongside other distinguished artistes.

Speaking about the tribute, Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar said:

“Music was Didi’s prayer, her offering to the world. Through Swarajali, we remembered not just her voice, but her devotion, discipline, and the purity with which she approached every note.”

Reflecting on the emotional significance of the evening, Usha Mangeshkar shared:

“For us, Didi was not only a musical legend but a guiding light in compassion and humility. She always believed that true success lies in giving back. Seeing her name associated with healing and hope through this medical award would have made her deeply happy.”

Continuing a Legacy of Care

Through Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital & Research Center, the Foundation has long supported advanced treatment, research, and accessible healthcare for families across Maharashtra. The institution stands as a living tribute to the values of service, empathy, and excellence upheld by the Mangeshkar family.

The Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar Memorial Ceremony marked an evening of reverence, remembrance, and renewed commitment — where melody met medicine, and legacy met service.

पुण्यात भारतरत्न लता दीनानाथ मंगेशकर स्मृती समारोह व लता मंगेशकर वैद्यक रत्न पुरस्कार वितरण सोहळा संपन्न

पुणे: भारतरत्न लता मंगेशकर यांच्या स्मृतींना आणि त्यांच्या करुणामय वारशाला अभिवादन करण्यासाठी Lata Mangeshkar Medical Foundation तर्फे लता मंगेशकर वैद्यकरत्न पुरस्कार प्रदान समारंभ आज शुक्रवार, ६ फेब्रुवारी २०२६ रोजी सायंकाळी यशवंतराव चव्हाण नाट्यगृह, कोथरूड, पुणे येथे संपन्न झाला. या विशेष कार्यक्रमासोबत “संतवाणी आणि लता हृदय” हा भावपूर्ण सांगीतिक कार्यक्रम सादर करण्यात आला.

हा सोहळा मनिषा निश्चल्स मॕहेक कॉन्सर्ट्स यांनी Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital & Research Center यांच्या सहकार्याने आयोजित केला होता. लता दीदींनी आयुष्यभर जपलेल्या सेवा, संवेदना आणि मानवतेच्या मूल्यांना अभिवादन करण्याचा हा एक भावनिक प्रयत्न ठरला. वैद्यकीय क्षेत्रात उल्लेखनीय कार्य करणाऱ्या डॉक्टरांना भारतरत्न लता दीनानाथ मंगेशकर वैद्यक रत्न या पुरस्काराने गौरविण्यात आले.

पुरस्काराचे हे पहिले वर्ष असून, यावर्षी डाॅ. (प्रोफेसर) श्री. राजशेखरन, अध्यक्ष, गंगा हॉस्पिटल, कोइंबतूर, यांना या प्रतिष्ठित पुरस्काराने सन्मानित करण्यात आले.

कार्यक्रमाचे अध्यक्ष म्हणून डॉ. विश्वनाथ कराड, संस्थापक – MIT Group of Institutions, हे उपस्थित होते. या सोहळ्याला भावगंधर्व पं. हृदयनाथ मंगेशकर, पं. सुरेश तळवलकर, विद्यावाचस्पती पं. शंकर अभ्यंकर, डॉ. धनंजय केळकर आणि डॉ. समीर जोग यांची मान्यवर उपस्थिती लाभली. कार्यक्रमाचे सूत्रसंचालन दीप्ती भागवत यांनी केले.

संगीत आणि सेवेला मानवंदना

भारतरत्न लता दीनानाथ मंगेशकर वैद्यकरत्न पुरस्कार हा केवळ सन्मान नसून सेवाभावाचा गौरव ठरला. संगीताद्वारे हृदयांना स्पर्श करणाऱ्या लता दीदींच्या नावाने आरोग्यसेवेत मोलाचे योगदान देणाऱ्या वैद्यकीय तज्ज्ञांचा या निमित्ताने गौरव करण्यात आला.

“संतवाणी आणि लता हृदय”

हा कार्यक्रम संत ज्ञानेश्वर माऊली, संत तुकाराम, संत कबीर, संत सूरदास आणि संत मीराबाई यांच्या अजरामर काव्यांवर आधारित होता. लता दीदींनी या संतवाणीला दिलेल्या स्वरांमधून प्रेरणा घेऊन साकारलेली ही संगीतांजली अत्यंत भावस्पर्शी ठरली.

कार्यक्रमाचा मुख्य सांस्कृतिक भाग म्हणजे “संतवाणी आणि लता हृदय” ही भक्तिमय आणि शास्त्रीय संगीतातील आदरांजली होती. या सादरीकरणात पं. हृदयनाथ मंगेशकर आणि विद्यावाचस्पती पं. शंकर अभ्यंकर यांचे निरूपण झाले.

या कार्यक्रमात विभावरी जोशी, मनिषा निश्चल, श्रेयसी पावगी, प्राची देवल आणि ऋतुजा तारे या गायिकांनी सहभाग घेतला.

या संगीत अर्पणाबद्दल बोलताना पं. हृदयनाथ मंगेशकर म्हणाले:

“संगीत हे दीदींसाठी प्रार्थना होती — जगाला दिलेले त्यांचे अर्पण. ‘स्वरांजली’मधून आपण त्यांच्या आवाजासोबत त्यांची साधना, शिस्त आणि प्रत्येक सुरातील पवित्रता स्मरली.”

सेवेचा वारसा पुढे नेताना

दीनानाथ मंगेशकर रुग्णालय आणि रिसर्च सेंटर मार्फत फाउंडेशनने अनेक वर्षांपासून अत्याधुनिक, संशोधनाधारित आणि सर्वसामान्यांना परवडणारी आरोग्यसेवा पुरवली आहे. ही संस्था मंगेशकर कुटुंबाच्या सेवाभावी परंपरेचे जिवंत प्रतीक ठरली आहे.

लता मंगेशकर स्मृती समारोह हा केवळ स्मरणाचा कार्यक्रम न राहता सेवेला नवी दिशा देणारा प्रेरणादायी क्षण ठरला — जिथे संगीताने आत्म्याला स्पर्श केला आणि वैद्यकीय सेवांनी जीवनांना आशा दिली.

Abhay Sinha President IMPPA And FFI Strongly Opposes DPIIT’s AI Copyright Proposal, Calls It A Threat To Cinema

With Artificial Intelligence (AI) advancing rapidly, it has led to increased conversations around protection of copyrighted material and personality rights. Now, Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) and the film industry at large find itself at crossroads. On February 4, IMPPA shot a letter to the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), opposing its subsidiary Generative Artificial Intelligence and Copyright Committee’s proposal of Hybrid Copyright Licensing Framework for AI Training.

According to the proposal, AI developers – comprising individuals and corporate entities – would use “lawfully accessed copyrighted content for AI training as a matter of right” and the original copyright holders would get “fair compensation”. The “flat” compensation rate would be decided by the government-appointed committee, Copyright Royalties Collective for AI Training (CRCAT). Also, the compensation will be given not at the training stage, but only when the AI developer generates revenue from its content. The paper was published on December 8 by the DPIIT, which sought feedback from various fields.

In its letter to DPIIT, a copy of which is in  possession, IMPPA asserted that there is “widespread concern within the film, music, and entertainment industry” regarding the framework’s far-reaching consequences. The body, which includes producers Karan Johar, Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn, Salman Khan, and many others, shot down the proposal that opens the floodgates to use copyrighted material.

Talking to Abhay Sinha, President, IMPPA, said that if implemented, it will adversely affect Indian film producers. “The government will take all decisions on its own. They will take our films, but we don’t know whether they will give us [adequate] money for it. We make films worth ‘100 crore! The film industry will incur huge losses. All our producers are in disagreement with what the government wants to introduce.”

Anil Nagrath, Secretary, IMPPA, revealed that the body sent its first letter on January 2, questioning why nobody was included in the committee and seeking an extension of the deadline. He said that most bodies are fundamentally opposed to the plan, adding, “How can you allow anybody to modify my content on a blanket permission, and pay me [any sum] you want? Suppose [somebody] makes a modified film on Dhurandhar [2025], and sells it to anybody they want. This will destroy the Indian film industry!”

Nagrath added that small films will be even worse hit with this move. He added that IMPPA has alerted producer bodies across the country. “We have sent [our] letter to the film producers bodies in the various cities of India. Indian Broadcasters Association and Producers Guild have also written letters to the DPIIT, opposing the proposal.”

AI developers, including individuals and corporate entities registered with Copyright Royalties Collective for AI Training (CRCAT), will use “lawfully accessed copyrighted content for AI training as a matter of right”. The original copyright holders will get “fair compensation”, which will be a “flat” rate decided by the CRCAT.

More than 35 bodies come under the purview of the proposed policy. It includes music bodies such as Indian Performing Rights Society (IPRS) and Indian Singers and Musicians Rights Association (ISAMRA), film bodies such as Producers Guild of India, and bodies in the publishing sector like Federation of Indian Publishers (FIP) and Association of Publishers in India.

In its February 4 letter, Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) opposed the proposal. It said that the approach is a “serious encroachment upon established rights and a direct threat to the long-term stability and viability of the creative sector.”

Painter Shital Keshari Paints A Beautiful World

Real talent is infinite, beyond time and space. What started as a creative passion for Shital Keshari, the woman with beauty, grace and amazing talent, soon turned out to be an intense affair only six months before. Today she has around 25 classy paintings to her credit and still doing more paintings, too. No, Shital’s  paintings are not for sale, but only for public viewing like her recent super-hit painting exhibition at the Nehru Centre, Worli.
Ironically, Shital’s 11-years old prodigious daughter Prakriti followed in her steps and has also started doing paintings which are stunningly beautiful. Both mother and daughter are encouraged to the hilt by Shital’s multifaceted senior bureaucrat husband Ajai Keshari who himself is a superb poet as well as an outstanding ghazal writer.
Shital Keshari who shifted  to paintings few years later after doing her fashion-designing course says, “I never wanted to be a painter since my childhood. I did my fashion designing course and could have easily become a stylist. But my destiny had written something else for me.”
So, how has been the journey so far?
“The eventful journey has been  fantastic. I work on variety of themes and not one in particular,” tells Shital  as a matter-of-fact.
Regarding her participation in the recent painting exhibition at Worli, Shital  says that since she had so many paintings she wanted to showcase them systematically. “And yes, the response to my paintings in Worli exhibition was overwhelming!,” says a grateful Shital.
In this fast-paced digital world, is there a lack of interest/enthusiasm among people for paintings?
“I don’t think so. Creativity is not forced. It’s natural. Look, how I started painting only this year, six months to be precise!,” replies Shital.
Ask her about the paintings scenario, Shital elaborates, “It’s good everywhere, in India and abroad. In India, I think, the passion for paintings is more apparent in Mumbai.”
About her daughter Prakriti who’s also into painting, Shital tells as a proud mother, “Prakriti is naturally talented. She’s very good in her studies also and doing wonderful paintings just going by her intuitions.”
“You can pursue your creative passion at any age. But do the best, no half-hearted effort. Honesty and dedication are a must, to put it mildly,” tells Shital a matter fact.
Points noted Shital. All the best for your painted road ahead!

Mumbai Schools To Benefit From Digital Learning Ecosystem

The power of digital education is coming to 1100 schools in Mumbai, thanks to a partnership between the Municipal Corporation of Mumbai and Ashraya, a digital learning initiative founded by Satish Jha.

Synopsis of the Story

The Municipal Corporation of Mumbai has partnered with Ashraya to bring a revolutionary Digital Learning Ecosystem to 1100 schools, providing access to personalized learning opportunities for thousands of students. The initiative has seen the transformative power of a comprehensive digital learning ecosystem in improving learning outcomes. This partnership is a crucial step in equipping students with the skills they need to succeed in the digital age.

By Rusen Kumar

MUMBAI: The Municipal Corporation of Mumbai (BMC) partnered with Ashraya, a digital learning initiative founded by Satish Jha, to deploy a comprehensive Digital Learning Ecosystem in 1100 schools across the city. This marks the first initiative of its kind in the region at this scale, and will provide access to transformative learning opportunities for over 500,000 students in Mumbai.

“We are thrilled to be working with the BMC to bring our Digital Learning Ecosystem to so many students in Mumbai,” said Satish Jha, founder of Ashraya. “Based on our experience with 9000 students across 27 schools in 7 states, we have seen the incredible impact that a comprehensive digital learning ecosystem can have on learning outcomes. We are confident that this partnership will help to improve educational opportunities for students in Mumbai.”

The Digital Learning Ecosystem developed by Ashraya incorporates a range of tools and technologies, including personalized learning platforms, data analytics, and adaptive assessments, to provide students with a personalized learning experience that is tailored to their individual needs and goals.

“Investing in a comprehensive digital learning ecosystem is crucial for the future of education,” said Satish Jha. “At a time when technology is transforming every aspect of our lives, it is essential that we provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the digital age. We are grateful to Ashraya for their partnership and support in helping us to achieve this goal.”

So far, Satish Jha and his family have fully funded Ashraya’s program in the 27 schools in which it has been implemented. The 1100 schools awarded by BMC will require significantly more support in order to fully realize the potential of the Digital Learning Ecosystem. Ashraya will be working closely with BMC and other partners to secure the necessary funding through various benefactors, avenues, and CSR programs.

“This partnership is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to improve educational outcomes for students in Mumbai,” further added Satish Jha. “We are confident that the Digital Learning Ecosystem developed by Ashraya will have a profound impact on the learning experiences of students in our schools, and we look forward to working with Ashraya to make this a reality.”

With a proven track record of improving learning outcomes, the Digital Learning Ecosystem is set to revolutionize education in Mumbai.

Conclusion

Ashraya, a digital learning initiative, has discovered the true cost of transforming learning outcomes: a mere Rs 75000 per child over 5 years. This investment in a comprehensive digital learning ecosystem has been proven to show tangible results, and Ashraya is excited to bring this opportunity to students in Mumbai through its partnership with the Municipal Corporation of Mumbai. People can join in supporting the future of education and the power of digital learning so that it can be replicated.

Veganuary 2023 To Reinforce India’s Love For Plants And The Planet

 Celebrating the 10th-year of the global campaign, Monica Dogra, Amy Aela and Mountaineer Prakriti Varshney join Veganuary as Ambassadors.

India, December 7, 2022: Veganuary – the global campaign to try vegan for January and beyond – is all set to reinforce India’s love for plants and the planet. It is using humour, hummus, and hope to inspire positive change for health and the environment. Backed by celeb supporters and huge popularity among Indians in its previous avatar (2022), a large number of people are expected to sign up to try vegan for January as registrations open today.

On the occasion of its 10th global anniversary, 10 popular Indian vegans are supporting the campaign, including Soundarya Sharma– actor and BigBoss contestant; Arvind Krishna– actor and pro 3×3 basketballer; Monica Dogra– musician and actor; Amy Aela– actor; Prakriti Varshney– mountaineer, Mt. Everest; Kuntal Joisher– mountaineer Mt. Everest; Vishwajeet Sangle– pro tennis player; Anushka Manchanda-singer; Sadaa Syed– actor and Sneha Ullal– actor.

Soundarya Sharma has shown that you can be vegan and thrive in any situation. She has shared her encouragement to everyone trying vegan this January. Arvind Krishna said “I’m vegan for the environment, the animals, for my health and wellbeing. I’m elated to be joining Veganuary as an ambassador and I hope my active lifestyle inspires many to try vegan”.

The theme for this January is ‘hope’ and the campaign has a desi twist to engage more Indians. In addition to the free resources and 31-day coaching emails, this year’s resources Include a new Indian starter kit answering all questions on veganism, more Indian recipes, a one-pot meal plan to help make meals cheaper and quicker, as well as an updated celebrity e-cookbook featuring recipes from Indian and global celebs including Venus Williams and Dr Jane Goodall, and a new podcast series which launches on 1st January.

Reflecting on her decision to be an ambassador for the campaign, Monica Dogra said, “I turned vegan after watching a documentary about the way that eggs are produced, and also hearing information on the environmental impact of factory farmed dairy. I had already been vegetarian for years for similar reasons. I recognize it’s a process, but it is one that is easier than ever today, and one that should surely be considered by the privileged to help lower impact on the planet and promote compassionate and mindful lifestyle.” 

Market research indicates a rising popularity of veganism in India. A YouGov survey in December 2021 revealed that 65 per cent of Indians planned to eat more plant-based/vegan foods in 2022. In January 2022, India had the third highest number of people signing up to try vegan, next only to the UK and USA.

Along with climate, social and health benefits, veganism has huge economic implications as well. The Indian plant-based meat market, which is currently worth $30–40 million, is anticipated to grow to $500 million in the next two years. Plant-based dairy sales in India are expected to increase from their current level of $21 million to $63.9 million by 2024, with a CAGR of 20.7% per cent. As a result of the rising demand, meat and dairy substitutes are competitively priced and readily available on par with their equivalents sourced from animals.

Amy Aela shared her sentiment, by saying: “Choosing to be plant based is not about a diet, it’s about choosing a lifestyle which is morally sound. As humans, we have the ability for moral and rational thought – unlike other animals. So, if we can have happy and healthy lives without hurting someone else, why wouldn’t we?”

Prakriti Varshney, the first vegan woman to scale Mt. Everest recorded a motivational video for Veganuary participants and observed “If you can live a happy, strong and healthy life without harming animals and nature, then, why wouldn’t you?”

To help people track their progress while encouraging them to stay on a vegan diet, Veganuary has also collaborated with vegan bakehouse Maloney’s Delights and introduced special edition Veganuary calendars.

Veganuary’s India Head Prashanth Vishwanath said: “This is the time for hope, change, and action. Whatever your plans for 2023 are, trying vegan is a great place to start, for health, the planet and the animals. Veganuary understands the science of behaviour change and brings world-class support and resources for you to have a great vegan experience. You can do this while enjoying most of your favourite Indian recipes, engaging with celeb vegans and being part of a community that is trying vegan at the same time as you”

If you’re in Delhi or Bengaluru, don’t forget to catch Veganuary on the many cabs plying the streets. You can even use the QR code on the cab to sign up!

201 terminally ill children have their wishes granted, this Children’s Day. Boman Irani, Sangram Singh, Dr. Karan Gupta, Deepak Bhatia, Dr. Anusha Srinivasan Iyer make it possible!

This Children’s Day, Karan Gupta Education Foundation and Make A Wish Foundation, supported by Make Earth Green Again MEGA Foundation and Sion Hospital Pediatric ward, helped grant the wishes of 201 critically and terminally ill children at the Sion Hospital Auditorium.

It was a beautiful moment when each child looked back at life with renewed energy when their wish was granted.

From television sets to scooters to jeeps to tabs and mobile phones and doll and kitchen sets, the children expressed their wishes to turn doctors to engineers with radiating smiles that lit up the  Auditorium.

Besides Karan Gupta and Deepak S Bhatia, actors Boman Irani and Sangram Singh motivated the children with their  beautiful words and smiles.

Boman’s jaadu ki jhappi made a huge difference as did Sangram Singh’s simplicity.

The motive was simple. To transform the lives and fulfill the wishes and be entertained by a clown, a magician and sing and dance.

Besides Boman Irani, Sangram Singh, Dr. Anusha Srinivasan Iyer, Riddhi Modi, Kalpana Loonkar and Nitish Shah were present alongside Karan Gupta and Deepak S Bhatia.

Boman Irani felt that his wish was granted by being here. “My wish is granted today ” he said.

“Medicines are there. And then there is hope. Doctors believe that once the wish is granted, the hopes of the children double. This gift is much more than just a cycle or a game. It is much more bigger than that. It is hope that the treatment will work,” he said emotionally. “I feel like a child everytime I am on stage. And children are much wiser than us. We should all bring out the child in us,” he said.

Added Sangram Singh, “There are four ways to be strong. Eat less than what you desire, drink double the water than food, exercise the best you can and laugh four times.” The eager audience made the Commonwealth gold medallist wrestler repeat the formula twice.

“Every year more and more children miraculously recover from life threatening illnessess just by having their simple wishes granted. God bless them and let’s pledge to transform one life at a time. Deep gratitude to our donors for supporting this cause,” avered Karan Gupta who has been fulfilling wishes  for the last three years.

Here is looking forward to more such beautiful moments and fulfilment of such wishes.

   

201 terminally ill children have their wishes granted, this Children’s Day. Boman Irani, Sangram Singh, Dr. Karan Gupta, Deepak Bhatia, Dr. Anusha Srinivasan Iyer make it possible!

After Anupam Kher’s mother of all Uunchai premieres for the entertainment industry, the  Corporates and financial  industry doyens  congregated to  be part of the   Uunchai celebratory screening by Uunchal producer Natasha Malpani Oswal at PVR Juhu.

Over 500 corporate bigwigs are actually taking time off their busy schedule to participate and witness Rajshri’s most ambitious film till date helmed by director Sooraj R Barjatya. The film strives to tell people to seek and scale  the Everest within, and in the process finding oneself, through the journey of the protagonists Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Danny Denzongpa, Sarika, Neena Gupta and Parineeti Chopra.

It is this voyage of self discovery that seems to have attracted the corporates, who as sources tell us, actually want their employee force to watch the film and come back armed with hope, heart and happiness.

Looks like Uunchai is actually the film that will celebrate Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav in the real sense by infusing fresh blood  into Indians today!

Dr Swatantra Jain – For A Healthier Tomorrow Let’s Reconnect With Nature

Not even the greatest philosophers ever thought to have a One world One family Vision~ My dream is Medicine free world without hunger :- Dr Swatantra Jain

It’s very well said and believed that we become what we eat & think. It’s the little habits we form in our daily routine that determine the course of our health in the future. Dr. Swantantra Jain’s practice is very simple and doable and habits we can cultivate within the ingredients found in our kitchen. Albeit simple we all have somehow lost the touch and connection with the little things in life. Everything our body requires Mother Nature very kindly provides sadly we have taken them for granted. We are so consumed in following a mechanical life that we have lost the essence of simplicity.

The western world is adapting to our ways such as vegetarianism & yoga whereas we are changing our ways inclined to the western world.

Dr. Swantantra’s main objective is to introduce natural homeopathy all over the world by guiding us to reconnect with nature.

Dr. Swatantra Jain is on the post of Indore City President of International Human Rights Organization and Vice President of Madhya Pradesh State. He has been doing incomparable public welfare work in the field of human rights. Dozens of his books, including Muktiyan and Mukti Shikhar are a source of inspiration.

The dilemma we face today with modern medicine in not unknown. In the name of treatment doctors exploit the patients & as the patients are overwhelmed & vulnerable we fall prey to their myriad of tests & prescribed medicines for which they receive commissions.

Dr. Swantantra reintroduced the simple way of living and aims for the world to benefit by his way of treatment aka Naniji ke nuske.

His advice to people is so simple and easy for instance start your day with gratitude and smile along with two glasses of warm water. Add a few more miles to your daily routine with a light walk. Surya namakar’s 5 to 10 twice a day has monumental health benefits.

He advices to drink coconut water which has panacea for many diseases.

Replacing your morning & evening garam chai ki payali with warm water and a few drops of lemon are small steps to a better living. He suggests to introduce these little things and make them a way of living. Small steps today to a better health tomorrow.

Allopathy and modem medicine is a billion dollar business today and we all are nothing but guinea pigs in the hands of the doctors. Many medicines that are banned in other countries her dumped & consumed in ours. Sad reality of the modern medicine.

Dr. Swantantra advocates that we don’t need to depend on allopathy medicines if we make small changes & adopt to a system of lifestyle with no side effects such as Yogasan, Surya Kiran food , Amrit jal or surya Kiran water therapy, acupressure, biochemic medicines .

He further explains that he his main aim is to have a drug free world for the generations to come and seeks our help in achieving the same by propagandising his noble thoughts far & wide.

He very strongly believes in his mantra “Reconnect with nature” and exhorts his patients to do the same. All our answers are in front of us amidst the beautiful nature.

By adopting yoga, exercise and a prescribed diet by Dr. Swantantra many of his patient’s diseases have been eradicated from the root.

Dr. Swantantra Jain runs a trust called Muktiyan where treatments are provided pro bono for many patients in India and abroad.

For a better tomorrow let’s raise our voices and support Dr. Swantantra in his noble cause to spread the use of natural homeopathy would wide via social media or word of mouth. Together we can built a stronger and drug free world ..

एक्टर डायरेक्टर इमरान हसनी, निर्माता प्रशांत सिंह की सस्पेंस थ्रिलर फ़िल्म हाई टाइड का ट्रेलर लॉन्च

बॉलीवुड फ़िल्म ‘पान सिंह तोमर’ में इरफान खान के साथ और डी डे में ऋषि कपूर के साथ काम करने वाले एक्टर इमरान हसनी अब निर्देशक भी बन गए हैं। इमरान हसनी की जल्द आने वाली फिल्म हाई टाइड का ट्रेलर आज मुम्बई के ऐ.जे. स्टूडियो में लॉन्च किया गया, जहां फ़िल्म के कलाकारों सहित निर्माता प्रशांत सिंह भी उपस्थित थे।

इमरान हसनी ने इस फ़िल्म को निर्देशित भी किया है और मुख्य भूमिका भी निभाई है। यह सस्पेंस थ्रिलर फिल्म एक ऐसे व्यक्ति के संघर्ष की कहानी है, जो मुश्किल हालात में फंस जाता है, जहां उसकी ज़िंदगी के बारे में कुछ कहना मुश्किल होता है। हर बीतता हुआ पल ज़िन्दगी और मौत के बीच का फ़ासला कम करता जा रहा है।

फ़िल्म में इमरान हसनी के अलावा दधि आर पाण्डेय, तरुणा सिंह, सुधाकर मणि, मेघा जोशी, अदनान हसनी, अमित सिन्हा और नवी रौतेला ने महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई है।

ट्रेलर लॉन्च पर इमरान हसनी, प्रोड्यूसर प्रशांत सिंह, ऎक्ट्रेस मेघा जोशी और कॉस्ट्यूम डिज़ाइनर ज़ेबीना हसनी मौजूद थीं।

फ़िल्म के निर्माता प्रशांत सिंह इस सस्पेंस थ्रिलर सिनेमा के संगीतकार भी हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि हाई टाइड एक अलग सा सिनेमा है, एक सरवाइवल ड्रामा है जिसे इमरान हसनी ने बखूबी डायरेक्ट किया है। इस फ़िल्म में एक थीम सांग है “ऐ आसमान वाले” जिसे शकील आज़मी ने लिखा है और कृष्णा बेउरा ने इसे बड़ी शिद्दत से गाया है। इस गाने में एक इंसान ऊपरवाले से गुहार लगा रहा है।

एक्टर, डायरेक्टर इमरान हसनी ने कहा कि इस फ़िल्म का कॉन्सेप्ट काफी अलग है। किसी की ज़िंदगी मे आइ हाई टाइड की कहानी इस फ़िल्म में पेश की गई है। चूंकि सस्पेंस थ्रिलर सिनेमा है इसलिए मैं कहानी रिवील नहीं कर सकता मगर यह इंगेजिंग फ़िल्म  है। उत्तरप्रदेश के फूलपुर, प्रयागराज, प्रतापपुर और मिर्जापुर में इसकी शूटिंग की गई है।

कॉस्ट्यूम डिज़ाइनर ज़ेबीना हसनी ने बताया कि इस फ़िल्म के लिए कॉस्ट्यूम डिज़ाइन करना काफी चुनौती भरा रहा क्योंकि इसका सब्जेक्ट डार्क है। इमरान हसनी का किरदार और उनका लुक भी काफी डिफरेंट है।

फ़िल्म इसी माह के अंत में सिनेमाघरों में रिलीज़ की जाएगी।

How An Indian American Became A Best Selling Author And His New Work Is A Film On Netflix – The Story Of Soman Chainani

Once upon a time, there was a young boy with stars in his eyes and fire in his soul. He was to be Yash Raj’s English wedding film director.

The wedding was cancelled when YRF faced several flops back to back in those days and Florida boy Soman Chainani turned to books to tell his tales. His father’s clairvoyance when he called him America’s storyteller turned into reality when despite being in an Ivy League School and passing out from Harvard Institute, Soman found himself in a corner writing stories as a 21 year old and was chucked out of the job. “I was 21 when I was a consultant in a high paying job in a prestigious firm and that is when everyone realized that I was born to tell stories. From telling stories about how a dinosaur ate my lunch box, I delved into fantasy as an escape route, because I felt different from others in the US. The Indians in Indians felt I didn’t belong as did the locals in Florida back then and fantasy offered respite,” says Soman who then went on to film school.

“I guess I always wanted to tell stories for a living,” says the now author of the bestselling YA series known as the “EverNever World” books. Over the course of six volumes — with a seventh about to be released — the series has conjured up sales of over 3 million copies worldwide. The epic tale of fantasy, friendship and hard choices, set at a school where a diverse collection of magical young folks are trained to become fairy tale heroes or villains, has been translated into over 30 languages.

Soman’s first novel, The School for Good and Evil, and the first book in the EverNever series, debuted on the New York Times Bestseller List, and has been translated into 30 languages across 6 continents, and Later this year, “The School for Good and Evil,” will become an all-star motion picture from Netflix. The film features a cast that includes Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Laurence Fishburne and Michelle Yeoh, and is being directed by Paul Feig, best known for “Bridesmaids,” “The Heat” and “Ghostbusters.”

Another of Chainani’s bestsellers, 2021’s “Beasts and Beauty: Dangerous Tales” — an anthology of short stories inspired by classic fairy tales, written during the early months of the pandemic — is on its way to becoming a streaming television series on Sony. Beasts and Beauty, was released on September 21, last year, to wide acclaim, with Kirkus Reviews calling the collection and ;expertly crafted… evoking the wonder, terror, and magic of the fantasy realms.” Beasts and Beauty was an instant New York Times bestseller, Soman’s seventh New York Times bestseller in a row. His most recent book, The Rise of the School for Good and Evil was released on May 31, 2022, to high acclaim and the New York Times Bestseller list. Publishers Weekly described it as “An episodic, adventurous fantasy offering”.

Soman now lives in New York and writes his books from there.

He wants to direct one of his books very soon,
