A tribute to Prof Noorul Hasan: Ananya S Guha

Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Education, , , ,

UTTAR PRADESH / Shillong, MEGHALAYA  :

I remember Professor Noorul Hasan when he returned after a prestigious fellowship in Manchester University, to teach us in M.A. at the North Eastern Hill University. He was teaching us Thomas Hardy’s ”Jude The Obscure” and by then we knew that he was a Hardy specialist. Prior to taking up the text he gave us an overview of 19th century English fiction, where the point and counterpoint were realism and reality. I sat enchanted, for never had I heard such concepts discussed. Moreover, our understanding of texts prior to this  was only piecemeal. Professor Hasan was always viewing texts in specific literary and cultural contexts. This was something I never heard before, but our Professor had an unique style. He would explain a novelist or for that matter a poet in a cultural context. What do you think Father Time represents ? he would ask us.

Days later he took up a John Donne poem. Trying to specify metaphysical wit he said with a flourish : ” It is as if he says Q.E.D. after the poem”! Professor Hasan would use  the text as a tool to highlight a writer’s virtues. Ratiocinating as I learnt slowly was an hallmark of the great Metaphysical poets. And then when seminar papers were discussed he would snap: ”What does this word mean? You are writing  a paper not fiction”. Again, ”Don’t use a word, the meaning of which you are not sure”. Here was a man inching us towards perfection, or some kind at least.
I wrote an essay on Metaphysical poetry. His comments were: ”Although the essay makes some useful points about individual poems, it fails to put into perspective Metaphysical poetry in its historical and cultural matrix”. Wow, I was learning.
After my Masters I had decided that if it was going to be a Phd, it would only be under the supervision of the one and only Professor Hasan. He was kind. What do you want to work on? he asked. The poets of the 1930s was a prompt but forethought answer. He dismissed it flippantly — ” so much work on this”. ”Why not William Golding?”
And William Golding it was. ”Tradition And Modernism In The Novels Of William Golding” was the subject, peremptorily decided by the teacher. ”You see,” he explained, ”not much has been written on him,  you will not have to  read much. And what you say should stand”. My mind went back to school. Oh ”Lord Of The Flies”. Poor Piggy, poor Ralph. Was Simon a saint, if so then why did he die so tragically?
”Keep on writing” was Professor Hasan’s maxim, “and then I will read. But remember your first chapter will be the most crucial. It will be theoretical around which the entire thesis will revolve. Around hundred pages”. The words seemed to fade away. Hundred pages of theory. I had no idea of it. I almost gasped. The Professor was looking into oblivion.
Meeting him in his department room with the ostensible reason  of discussing my work, turned out to be more than exciting. ”Do you know I was taught by Firaq Gorakhpuri. When he spoke on Wordsworth it was as if Wordsworth was peeling off the creative layers of his poetry.” Allahabad University in the sixties he averred, had some of the best teachers of English Literature, Firaq, his brother, the Bose brothers and so on. I was transported to a new world of literature and culture. ”You see those days it was an  euphoria in the aftermath of the freedom movement. We debated, discussed, had talks and in the midst of it all was Firaq, two whisky bottles dangling in his sherwani”.
”The problem with teachers,” he said,  “is that they do not go into the creative processes of a text, they cannot build a context out of a text”.
I learnt from Professor Hasan, the nuances of teaching and learning, the critical use of language, and the ability to question, with the context emerging from a text. ”Your chapter on ‘Darkness Visible’ you should send to ”Modern Fiction Studies”. I almost fell down from my chair. My writing in Modern Fiction Studies, arguably, one of the best journals of fiction studies in the world?! I never did. But Professor Hasan never minced words. He meant what he said. He was not vulnerable to blandishment of any kind. He knew what was quality academic writing and what was not. ”You have improved considerably Ananya” he said. I winced. ”In MA you were not good. I used to wonder, this boy speaks so well, but writes badly”. Professor Hasan  could be blunt! Above all he loved humanity, in tolerance even of those who harmed him the most. RIP beloved Sir.

Gulfam Khan feeds orphans on Eid al-Adha

Arts, Culture & Entertainment, , ,

Mumbai, MAHARASHTRA :

GulfamKhanMPOs28dec2017

On the occasion of Eid al-Adha on Saturday, popular actress Gulfam Khan said she celebrates the festival by feeding orphans.

“Eid al Adha is an Eid of sacrifice. Though the Holy Quran does mention sacrificing an animal, I think like most of the times it has a deeper meaning. So, as far as my thoughts are concerned, I believe we are supposed to sacrifice something dear to us in the path of good,” Gulfam said in a statement.

 
“It can be something materialistic or even something emotionally bonding. It shows what length you will go to stand by the right… I still have to go a long way to reach that height, but as of now I try and feed orphans on this day.

“Sometimes I do it by being present over there physically and a lot of times when the orphanages or the underprivileged are in far fetched places, I see to it that the food reaches them and they can feast too like us… May Allah grant us the patience, love and wisdom to walk the right path,” she added.

Gulfan is best known for her roles in shows like “Naamkarann” and “Khwaabon Ki Zamin Par”.

Glorious arch over Telugu meet regales ballad & king Qutub Shah

Hyderabad, TELANGANA  :

ArchMPOs27dec2017

Hyderabad :

Malkibharamuni. The name may not ring a bell for many Hyderabadis. But much of the rich and varied cultural and linguistic heritage of Telugu owes to this former ruler of Telangana. For the first time, Ibrahim Qutub Shah IV, revered as Malkibharamuni in Telugu ballads and legends, gets recognition in the World Telugu Conference.

Ibrahim Qutub Shah, who patronized Telugu and issued royal decrees in the language, had endeared the people of his times by popularizing the local language through mega literacy drives. He and his successor Mohammad Quli Qutub Shah V, who founded Hyderabad and built Charminar, had a number of Telugu poets in the royal Qutub Shahi court. Ibrahim Qutub Shah was fluent in Telugu and his generosity towards Telugu language and culture was so high that he continues to live as a legendary Malkibharamuni in the world of Telugu literature and folks songs.

Malkibharamuni figures in the list of 83 personalities, who had contributed to the development of Telugu language. One of the arches to be erected in the city to welcome the delegates of the World Telugu Conference will be dedicated to him. Historian Abdul Majeed Siddiqui in his “History of Golcunda” published about eight decades ago extols the Qutub Shahi ruler saying that Ibrahim’s “lasting service in the domain of politics and culture had lent fascination to the name of the remarkable king and had made him alegendary figure in the Telugu literature. He is Malkibharam (Malkibharamuni) of legend and ballads.”

According to Siddiqi, Telugu, received encouragement and Telugu was patronized as liberally as Arabic and Persian languages. “Telugu poets and prose-writers were munificently encouraged and rewarded,” he said. Mohammad Quli is believed to have composed poems in Telugu too.

The Qutub Shah’s poetry “depicts his impressions about the life and culture of the Telugu society. It shows his sympathy with the local life and traditions,” Siddiqi adds.

In fact, the Qutub Shahis were the first non-Telugu kings, who spoke and wrote in Telugu. The language was at its golden peak during the period of Ibrahim and Mohammad Quli.

RWITC pays tribute to forgotten trainer

NRI's / PIO's, Sports, World Opinion

MAHARASHTRA  / Bangalore, KARNATAKA :

The Royal Western India Turf Club mostly prefers to stick to its traditional format when framing its year-long horse-racing programme. But the turf club’s management does make occasional concessions as it did when springing a pleasant surprise with the inclusion of a race in memory SM Shah on Sunday. Late SM Shah, incidentally, was veteran SS Shah’s elder brother who passed away earlier this year.

The younger generation probably may not have heard much about Majeed Shah but old-timers would certainly recollect him as a hard-working and celebrated trainer who carved a place in the heart of the ardent horse-racing fans during an era, which was dominated by the likes of ALJ Talib, Aziz Mahmoud, DP Pandole, Dady Adenwalla and Major VM Lad. He held sway for over two decades before moving permanently to Bangalore in the late 70‘s.

Shah saddled three Indian Derby winners: Nijinsky (1967), Our Select (1968) and Bright Hanovar (1971). He also trained other prominent winners like Hard Held, Bade Miya, Beandaz and Bakhtawar. Apart from MD Mehta and Laxmi P Lala, Shah was patronised by late Mary Homi Wadia aka Fearless Nadia and Mehmood, the actor par excellence and a superstar in his own right who brought glamour to the game with his presence at the racecourse.

Fitting finale

The race framed in memory of the late trainer who spent two decades in Western India was not in RWITC’s prospectus but Shah’s eldest son Kaleem, an American citizen now, helped RWITC pay a perfect tribute to his father. Not only did he sponsor a glittering gold trophy worth a lakh of rupees for the winner but, in a noble gesture, also gave away twenty thousand rupees each to the grooms of five best turned out horses during the day.

By the way, Kaleem, contrary to his father’s wish, ventured into owning horses in USA by purchasing his first thoroughbred in 1996 and gradually increased his bloodstock to become one of the big owners. Kaleem’s famous win till date has been with Bayern who won the Breeders’ Cup Classic, worth US$ 5 million, in 2014. Bayern was saddled by one of USA’s top horse-trainer Bob Baffert.

Returning to the running of the SM Shah Trophy, call it providence if you like; it was won by the filly Priceless Art, owned by none other than Cyrus Poonawalla. It was only fitting that the trophy was presented by one passionate racehorse owner-breeder to another.

Chivalrous gesture

On a day of festivities when the entire Shah clan was in attendance at Mahalaxmi to witness the race, what came as a dampener was that most race-goers were unaware of the significance of the event. The RWITC replayed a video clip which showed some of India’s senior professionals paying tribute to one of their colleagues and that was it.

No effort was made to highlight Majeed Shah’s achievements as a professional or his son’s feat as a race-horse owner in the United States. It was Kaleem’s sobriety that neither did he demand attention from the club’s administration nor the club’s officials.

However, it was Cyrus Poonawalla’s chivalry that saved RWITC some blushes as the former was only too happy to accompany Kaleem for most of the time till the day’s races were over.

‘I always wanted to be a filmmaker’

Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Karnataka (under research project), , , , ,

Bengaluru, KARNATAKA :

Saad Khan
Saad Khan

Director Saad Khan is a known name in the world of theatre and movies. And why not? He knew that he wanted to get into filmmaking and had a clear idea about how to go about it.

As his film ‘Humble Politiciann Nograj’ is all set to release in January, Saad is all excited. In a candid chat with Tini Sara Anien, he talks about the film and more.

How did your interest in direction come about?

I belong to the age when video cassettes were popular. I used to watch at least two movies every weekend. This is when the passion for films came in. At school, I was already into theatre. I remember doing a professional play and being yelled at by my director because I was mouthing everyone’s lines. The director told me that acting is not what I should be doing and that I should probably assist him. My passion grew. I did a summer workshop with Bangalore Little Theatre and finally directed my own play.

What kept your interest alive?

My first play ‘Idle Hand’ was a big moment for me as a director. I didn’t know about the method acting or anything then. The play was about a lazy man and how one particular night, when he sleeps, his hands take over his body. I was associated with many plays after that. I always wanted to be a filmmaker. I knew that I had to make a transition and at that time I felt theatre was the right way ahead.

Is theatre a stepping stone to filmmaking?

From what I have observed in the recent past, there is no particular design for artistes. I’ve heard so many filmmakers and actors’ stories that I know that there is no set formula for it. Eventually, I realised that I didn’t want to stick to any genre. I brought the Hollywood movie ‘Scream’ on stage. I’ve also done musicals.

What was the turning point in your career?

It was when my short film ‘Another Kind of Black’ went to the Cannes Film Festival. I felt I was too cool but I soon realised I was just lucky as the concept was pretty good. That was the moment when I knew that this is what I wanted to do. I wanted to sell stories.

How is your chemistry with actor Danish Sait who plays the ‘Humble Politiciann Nograj’?

Danish used to do prank calls on air as Nograj. Slowly he and I made YouTube videos with ‘Nograj’. Once we did a live video of it from Times Square. After this, I said ‘I think we are now ready to make a film on Nograj’. We already had the title of the film since we always referred to the character as a humble politician. Danish, Maaz (Khan) and I met and wrote the story. I took a bit more time to do the screenplay. We were lucky to get Pushkar Films, Lost and Found Films and Paramvah Studios as producers.

What’s next?

We are just focussing on the movie release at the moment. There are speculations about a sequel.

Anisa sets new mark

Sports

Pune,  MAHARASHTRA / Faridabad, HARYANA  :

Anisa Sayyed.
Anisa Sayyed.

Chinki, Swapnil and Nishant also set records

Anisa Sayyed held on to her status as one of the premier pistol shooters in the country winning the women’s 25m air pistol gold in the 61st National shootingchampionships at the National Games shooting range here on Tuesday.

The Haryana shooter, who was third with a score of 576 in qualification, behind Heena Sidhu (581) and Rani Sarnobat (578), was in great form shooting a consistent 33 in the final to erase the National record of 28 set by Annu Raj Singh in Brisbane earlier this year.

Shital Shivaji Thorat (Maharashtra) came second with 30 points pushing Rani (28) to third.

Maharashtra emerged first in the team event with a total of 1714 points ahead of ONGC (1707) and Haryana (1700).

In the junior women’s section, Chinki Yadav (Madhya Pradesh) took the top spot with a National record bettering performance of 31, a good seven points clear of the old record, leaving Gauri Sheoran (Haryana, 28) and Saee Ashok Godbole (Maharashtra, 20) in second and third places.

Haryana took the gold in the junior women’s team event with 1686 points ahead of Tamil Nadu (1652) and Maharashtra (1641).

On Monday, Swapnil Suresh Kusale (Railway) overhauled the existing National record as he collared the gold medal in the men’s 50m rifle 3-position.The Railway shooter, who had finished fourth in qualification, was a good four points clear of second-placed Satyendra Singh (Army) at the end of the final, totalling 457.0 as against 452.8 returned by the Army gunman as he obliterated the existing record of 456.1, established by Sanjeev Rajput in 2013.

Olympian Chain Singh, who has had a disappointing tournament, was forced to settle for the bronze with 439.8 ahead of Anil Sheoran (Uttar Pradesh), the leader of the qualifying field with a total of 1166.0 over the three positions. Chain Singh was second at that stage with 1164.0, while Surendra Singh Rathod and Swapnil had an identical card of 1163.0.

In the team event, the Army Marksmanship Unit was head and shoulders above the rest, finishing on top with 3472.0 points. Indian Air Force was second with 3458.0 and Indian Navy third at 3443.0.

In the junior category, Nishant Dalal (Haryana) was bang on target as he took gold with a new National record to boot. The Haryanvi shooter, who was hardly challenged in the final, finished with 446.7 erasing the existing mark of 442.1, set by Subhankar Pramanick in Pune last year.

Fateh Singh Dhillon (Punjab) took silver with 443.1 after Harshit Banjwa (Madhya Pradesh) was forced to settle for the third spot with 432.2.

In the 25m centre fire pistol, Anish Bhanwala (Haryana) and Yogesh Singh (Indian Navy) had an identical tally of 582.0 over three rounds each of rapid and precision, but in the countback luck was to favour the Haryana youngster, who last week had won the 25m rapid fire pistol. Anhand Jawanda (Punjab) followed the leaders in third position, two points behind.

Haryana also took the top of the podium in the team event with a total of 1734.0 and was followed by Indian Navy (1725.0) and Punjab (1719.0) in that order.
