The trip started with live music on the tour bus by the Faiz Ghar music class. On reaching the venue, the group found a quiet spot and spread their yoga mats to attend a vigorous yoga session conducted by Yogi Sham- shad Haider. By the time the session ended, the cold had disappeared, and many had taken o their woollies. The time was ripe for a fruit eating session. The more sporty among the group started playing football and frisbee. By this time the musicians had got their act together. The live music and dance session that followed became livelier when a large group of school girls and their teachers joined in. After a lot of food for the soul, the group was ready to attack Gogay kay Chaney, home made koftas, organic salads, and the most delicious rabri kheer. The group then took a tour of the jungle and the safari park. They enjoyed the wonderful ambience of the bamboo jungle, and the ostriches, deers, parakeet, swans, and many other wild animals and birds. Some members also took rides on the train and colour- ful donkey carts.

  • Echoes and Exuberances: Baidar Bakht's Recent Translations of Urdu Poetry
    Echoes and Exuberances: Baidar Bakht’s Recent Translations of Urdu Poetry T , and possibly the most gifted, translator of Urdu poetry into English these days is, no doubt, Baidar Bakht of Toronto, a specialist not in Urdu literature as one might expect, but rather in bridge engineering, a subject in which he holds a University of London D.Sc. One first noted his considerable talents as a translator in An Anthology of Modern Urdu Poetry (Delhi: Educational Publishing House, ) which he edited in collaboration with the Canadian poet Kathleen Grant Jaeger. Here, all renderings show Bakht and Jaeger to be deft and sensitive translators of the many “exuberances” of Urdu poetry into English.1 One cannot help but compare this anthology to Mahmood Jamal’s The Penguin Book of Modern Urdu Poetry (Harmondsworth, England: Penguin, ) which features one hundred poems by seventeen poets. As would be expected, there is some overlap of poets and poems in each volume. Both anthologies have individual merits and defects: () Jamal’s volume presents breadth, Bakht’s depth; () Jamal, an English-language poet working alone, has produced translations whose surface textures 1The term “exuberance” (an artistic feature found in the original text and/or maintained in the translation) and its opposite, “deficiency” (the lack of a given artistic feature in the original and/or in the translation), are based on notions of José Ortega y Gasset developed in his essay “The Misery and Splendor of Translation,” for which see, Theories of Translation: An Anthology of Essays from Dryden to Derrida, ed.
