It's a time for C new beginnings for looking back fondly and looking ahead with joy. Just the year gone by has e h t transformed into a new year bursting with possibilities. Jayamahal Durga Charitable Samiti is Culture Beat m endeavouring into a new activity of bringing out its own Newsletter, “Bengalooru Katha,” an o r F information and communication channel for Bengalis as well as Kannadigas interested in the Bengali culture. Can we take an oath in this Naba Barsha; we will support it and enliven it together so that we like it more and more.

Here is an attempt N to alert people to a great injustice that is being perpetrated upon the sons of Bengal. O So you thought they were wimpy to begin with. Far from it, my friend. Their S R current state is a result of years of conditioning by the oppressors, namely, the women. E By using a variety of psychological weapons, they have reduced these fine men to P what you mostly see today. Let us focus on the first weapon in their hands - the nickname. When a son is born into a Bengali household, he is gifted with a resonant, sonorous name. Bengali names are wonderful things. They convey majesty and power. A man with a name like Sushmito, Samrat, Samudro, Rudro, Prokash,Indrajeet, Surojeet, Prasenjeet, Bishwadeep, etc., is a man who will walk with his head held high, knowing that the world expects great deeds from him, which was why they bestowed the title that is his name upon him. But it simply will not do for these men to get ahead of themselves. Their swelling confidence needs to be shattered. How can one go about it? This task is left to the mothers of these lads and is accomplished by the simple act of referring to the boy, not by his rather-great-sounding real name, but by a nickname which even Shakti Kapoor ‘Picking Lotus Buds from the Mud’ would feel ashamed to answer to. Their are some rules for creating nicknames, which need to be followed. 1) Nicknames must have no connection to the real name.

That too, a monkey with a flair for slapstick, *** that was gifted to them by their own mothers, aunts and grandmas.

E F Later on a train journey while passing through Dharwar, D R Bendre, the well-known Kannada poet met Rabindranath on platform No 1 of the Dharwar Railway Station and had a longish chat with the poet. To commemorate this memorable incident a stone plaque has been installed on this platform. The story of “Amit Ray” “Shesher Kobita” was a project Rabindranath had taken up in the summer of 1928 at Coonoor as the guest of the Maharaja of Peethapuram. On that trip he was accompanied by Dr. Prashanta Chandra Mahalanobis and his wife Smt. Nirmal Kumari (Rani). After a few days, they left for Colombo for a trip to Europe. On reaching the Lankan capital they were told that in view of the poets declining health he should not undertake the arduous journey to Europe. The programme was cancelled and they came to Madras as the guest of Dr. Annie Besant at Adyar. He could barely withstand the oppressive heat and so came to Bangalore to recoup his health as the guest of Sir Brojendranath Seal who was then the Vice Chancellor of the Mysore University. “Balabrooie” was the official residence of the Vice Chancellor.

  • Locating the Auteur in Rituparno Ghosh's Dahan
    Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities (ISSN 0975-2935) Indexed by Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ, ERIHPLUS Vol. 13, No. 2, April-June, 2021. 1-12 Full Text: http://rupkatha.com/V13/n2/v13n242.pdf DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.21659/rupkatha.v13n2.42 Published on June 26, 2021 Infidelity to True Story and Novel: Locating the Auteur in Rituparno Ghosh’s Dahan Akaitab Mukherjee Assistant Professor, School of Social Sciences and Languages (SSL), Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Chennai Campus, Tamil Nadu, India, [email protected], ORCID id-0000-0001-6410-9898 Abstract Rituparno Ghosh (1961-2013), a celebrated Bengali film director who started making film in 90s, often borrows plots from literary and other cultural narratives. The essay aims to explicate Ghosh’s early film Dahan (1997) which is an adaptation of distinguished Bengali novelist Suchitra Bhattacharya’s novel with the same title. Bhattacharya’s novel is influenced by the real incident in which a couple was harassed by four youths at Tollygunge Metro Station in Kolkata on 27th November, 1992. The film also acknowledges that it is indebted to the true story. The essay explicates the adaptation of the two sources by the auteur. It examines the duplication of authorial concerns in this adaptation while following the narratives of two texts. Ghosh remains unfaithful to the literary text and the cultural memory of the true story to establish his authorship. As Ghosh’s films portray the middle class women in patriarchal society, following Janet Staiger’s reconsideration of the theory of auteur in the context of queer movement and identity politics in 1970s, the essay argues that the performance of infidelity to the literary and true story to establish authorship is auteur’s “technique of the self”.

  • Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis
    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

And yes, I admit that out of the many names mentioned, some of them surely deserve a place among the best. So I have made some changes in the list as per your valuable suggestion. Manoj Kumar in Shaheed (Now Inlcuded in the Main 100) Meenakshi Sheshadri in Damini (Now Included in the Main 100) Shammi Kapoor in Teesri Manzil (Now Included in the Main 100) Sanjeev Kumar in Aandhi (Now Included in Worth Mentioning Performances) Sharmila Togore in Aradhana (Now Included in Worth Mentioning Performances) Sunny Deol in Damini (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) Mehmood in Pyar Kiye Ja (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) Nagarjun in Shiva (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) I hope you will approve the changes made as per your suggestions.

    18 Balaji Telefilms Limited Annual Report 2012-13 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS INDUSTRY REVIEW INDIAN ECONOMY The global economy faced another challenging year in 2012 as it continued to recover slowly following the global financial crisis of 2008. Slow US economic recovery, European sovereign debt crisis, moderating growth in China and other emerging economies continued to hold back the global GDP growth rates.
