[IMC Bombay] Talk on Budget by Dr prabhat patnaik JNU

[kalakamra@onebox.com]

Dear Friends

It was the long-felt desire and wish of late Prof Sudhir Yardi to initiate a debate, with an alternative perspective, on the National Budget soon after its presentation every year.  “If people can have ‘expert opinion’ of  Palkhivala, Vyas and Ranina year after year, why is it that there no alternative view on the National Budget,” he would often remark.

As homage to Prof Yardi, we invite you to the following programme.  

We will be grateful if you could forward this invitation to as many like-minded persons as possible.

Solidarity and friendship

Subject:  [IMC Bombay] International Womens Day

 
Press release

 8th March Saturday

International Womens Day. 

Nehru Centre Worli. 6:30 pm
 

 

Narmada "the story of a river"

An oddissi dance ballet.

Conceived and choreographed by Jhelum Paranjape.

Featuring: The Smitalay Dance School
 

Smitalay, so named by Jhelum Paranjape in memory of her dear friend and critically acclaimed actress Smita Patel, is the dance wing of the Sane Guruji Arogya Mandir, a registered cultural & educational charitable trust.  

 

Activities at Smitalay include imparting rigorous and complete training in the Odissi dance form and constantly producing innovative original dance ballets. 

 

For the past decade, Smitalay has been annually celebrating international women's day by presenting a performance exclusively choreographed with "woman' as the central theme. 

 

This year the ballet is called NARMADA

 

Narmada is a story of the river; about its beautiful and bountiful nature and life giving force. It is the story about life on the banks, and the adivasis who pray to her and call her mother.

 

Narmada is also about a fiery woman who single handedly took on the world to fight for a peoples sustenance - the woman the adivasis of the valley regard as an 'avataar' of the mighty river itself. 

 

Narmada also depicts the river as a woman-a woman with many moods, sometimes vivacious, sometimes joyful and sometimes full of anguish. A woman faced with choices, confrontations and constrictions. A woman who combines strength and continuity, conflict and resolution. 

 

Narmada is indeed about the very essence of a woman.

 

Narmada makes neither a political nor ecological statement. It merely tells us what the river embodies, thinks and feels.
