Thirty senior folk artistes, one from each district, and two folk experts will be presented the Karnataka Janapada Academy awards for 2017. While the artistes will get a purse of ₹25,000 and a citation, the folk experts will get ₹50,000 and a citation.
Announcing the names of award winners here on Monday, academy chairman B. Takappa Kannuru said they had chosen these artistes at the general body meeting on October 30. The awards will be given to them at a two-day district folk convention to be held from December 28 at Sagar in Shivammoga district.
The ex-students of Vile Parle’s Mithibai College will hold their seventh reunion Saturday December 9 at Club Millennium, Juhu.
“We will felicitate composers Sajid-Wajid, film director Vikram Bhat, stage artiste Paritosh Painter and Afroz Shah who initiated the Versova beach clean-up,” said Krishna Hegde, convenor,Mithibai Ex-Students Association (MESA).
The glamour quotient coupled with social messages makes the Mithibai alumni meet an awaited event. This year, performances by Purani Jeans, Cutting Chai and An Evening Down Memory Lane are on schedule.
Mithibai College has among the largest number of students worldwide and approximately one million alumni in different countries.
Hegde said, “It has been a tradition to felicitate outstanding ex-students for their achievements at our reunions. We are very excited with the names selected for this year’s MESA Hall of Fame 2017.”
The previous edition of the reunion saw a turnout of over 500 alumni. Senior media professional Balakrishna Pillai’s batch is celebrating its silver jubilee since passing out. He said, “Our reunions are one of the largest and grandest in India. For us, reunions are not just about get-togethers but also celebrating the success of our college mates and being socially responsible. Since MESA was founded about 19 years back, besides getting the students together at regular intervals, it has arranged various blood donation drives, health camps, fund raising for Kargil jawans, supporting the education of underprivileged and other activities.”
“It is not uncommon to spot a film star, industrialist or sportsperson at other college reunions but at ours, celebrities seem to outnumber the average alumni! Ex-students like Ajay Devgan, Raveena Tandon, Vivek Oberoi, Praveen Amre attend the reunions frequently,” said Khalid Khan, MESA president.

Mumbai (formerly Bombay), MAHARASHTRATA / and all over India :
Some months ago I was in Kolkata when news came of the death of Laeeq Futehally, a writer and critic I greatly admired.
Badruddin-Tyabji-the-first-great-of-his-family
Some months ago I was in Kolkata when news came of the death of Laeeq Futehally, a writer and critic I greatly admired. The friend I was with hadn’t heard of her, so I spoke at some length of Laeeq’s own work (as literary editor of the pioneering journal Quest, and as the author of many books on varied subjects), and of the larger family to which she belonged. ‘Laeeq was a Tyabji,’ I told my friend, ‘and you can think of the Tyabjis as being the Tagores of Western India — a family of men and women of real distinction in the arts and public life’.
A look of disbelief now came over my friend’s face. For which Bengali can countenance a comparison to the Tagores? I pressed on, offering some names in illustration. The first great Tyabji was Badruddin, a judge of the Bombay High Court and an early president of the Indian National Congress. Direct descendants of Badruddin included the tennis player and legal scholar AA Fyzee (author of landmark studies on Islamic law), the politician and social reformer Saifuddin Tyabji, the conservationist Zafar Futehally, and Badruddin Tyabji Jr., a distinguished Indian diplomat and author.
My friend Laeeq Futehally was herself a descendant of Badruddin’s elder brother Shumsuddin Tyabji. Shumsuddin’s only son was Abbas Tyabji; once Chief Justice of Baroda State, he later joined the freedom struggle, being appointed leader of the Salt Satyagraha after Gandhi’s arrest. A nephew of Abbas (and grandson of Shumsuddin) was the great ornithologist Salim Ali, the author of landmark studies of Indian birds and an inspirational figure for conservationists all over the world.
The women of the Tyabji family were likewise quite remarkable. A fine study by the late Salima Tyabji (see http://cinnamonteal.in/authors/salima-tyabji/) narrates how they were the first Muslim women in Western India to emerge out of purdah, to travel overseas, to go to school and college, and to write at length of their experiences. Later generations kept the family name flying. Among Abbas Tyabji’s daughters was the formidable women’s rights activist Sharifa Hamid Ali and the mystic and Meera bhajan singer Raihana Tyabji.
Such was the background to the comment I made about the Tyabjis in Kolkata, a comment that evoked dismay bordering on disgust. But I have since found confirmation of the validity of my comparison. Reading through Gandhi’s Collected Works, I came across a letter written by him to Abbas Tyabji on the 17th April 1920. Here Gandhi says: ‘Indeed the Tagores and the Tyabjis are the rarities for India and they are her friends’.
The contributions of the Tagores are of course colossal, as well as colossally well known. The most famous of the Tagores was Rabindranath: poet, novelist, playwright, composer, artist, institution builder, the first Asian to win a Nobel Prize, and one who profoundly influenced both Gandhi and Nehru.
Rabindranath was a giant who looked farther in part because he stood on the shoulders of those who preceded him. His grandfather, Dwarkanath, was a successful entrepreneur whose wealth laid the basis for the artistic pursuits of his descendants. His father, Debendranath, was a progressive reformer and editor.
Rabindranath’s gifted siblings included the scholar and composer Dwijendranath, the actor and translator Jyotindranath, the singer, editor and social worker Swarnakumari, and Satyendranath, the first non-white member of the Indian Civil Service.
The generation that followed was also not lacking in talent. Rabindranath’s nephews included the modernist painters Abanindranath and Gaganendranath. His nieces included Sarala Devi, a singer, writer and patriot who so entranced Gandhi that he at one stage intended to make her his ‘spiritual wife’.
Which was the greater of the two families, the Tagores or the Tyabjis? Rather than answer the question, let me introduce a third and scarcely less gifted family.
These were the Sarabhais of Ahmedabad. The patriarch, Ambalal, was a textile millowner and philanthropist who was an early supporter of Mahatma Gandhi. When, in 1915, Gandhi’s funders withdrew support because he had admitted an ‘Untouchable’ family into his ashram, Ambalal Sarabhai stepped in to save the project.
Ambalal’s sister Anasuya was herself very close to Gandhi. A pioneering feminist and trade unionist, she ran schools for millworkers and their children. In 1918 she led the workers of Ahmedabad in a strike for fair pay that pitted her directly against her brother, who was representing the millowners.
Anasuya never married, although, in a daring defiance of custom and convention, she had a live-in partner, a fellow Gandhian and trade unionist, Shankerlal Banker.
As for Ambalal Sarabhai, he had seven children — all were talented, and at least four were remarkable. These were Vikram, the polymath physicist who founded both the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad and the Indian Space Research Organisation; Mridula, who worked heroically to settle post-Partition refugees and, later, to bring justice to the Kashmiris and their leader Sheikh Abdullah (who had been incarcerated by the Nehru government); Gautam, a public-spirited entrepreneur who founded the National Institute of Design (NID); and Gira, a brilliant designer who assisted her brother in shaping the NID while also setting up the Calico Textile Museum.
Had Gandhi had the opportunity, he might well have added the Sarabhais to the Tagores and the Tyabjis as among the ‘rarities of India’. These three families had several things in common: the ability to defy social boundaries as well as transcend disciplinary boundaries, an apparently unending stream of creativity, and the striking independence of their women. A single column can scarcely do justice to their talents and achievements. While the Tagores have had their chroniclers, the Tyabjis and Sarabhais still await theirs.

Renowned Urdu Scholar and former general secretary of Anjuman Taraqqi-i-Urdu Hind, Dr Khaliq Anjum passed away today in New Delhi after prolong illness. He was 81.
One f the most prominent scholar of his time, Anjum dedicated his whole life for promotion of Urdu in the country through his literary works and Anjumans and academies.
He authored several books of high literary value. One of the most important books is by him is ‘Matni tanqeed’, or textual criticism, a fine work that discusses the methods and techniques of evaluating, editing, annotating and compiling texts. His other significant contribution is the editing and annotation of Ghalib’s Urdu letters, compiled in five volumes.
Being an expert on textual criticism, he was one of the first people in the subcontinent to adopt the German technique of compilation to edit these letters and his version of Ghalib’s letters is considered among the most authentic ones.
His other books on Ghalib include ‘Ghalib ka safar-i-Kalkutta’, ‘Ghalib Kuchh mazameen’ and the forthcoming ‘Ghalib aur shahan-i-Taimuriya’.
In addition to Ghalib and textual criticism, Dr Khaliq Anjum’s another expertise was in the field of history and archaeology. His books ‘Muraqqa-i-Dehli’, ‘Dilli ke aasar-i-qadeema’ and ‘Dargah-i-shah-i-mardan’ deal with the archaeological sites of Delhi. His profound knowledge of Delhi’s history and its historical remains is also evident from the gigantic task he has carried out in three volumes editing and annotating Sir Syed Ahmed Khan’s ‘Aasar-us-sanadeed’.
Dr Khaliq Anjum also served ministry of education and was also a member of Inder Kumar Gujaral committee formed by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi for the promotion of Urdu. The committee submitted a detailed report on the status of Urdu., Dr Khaliq Anjum toured the length and breadth of India to survey and to understand the issues concerning the language.
The report made several recommendations, including the one that suggestion for establishing Urdu academies in every Indian state and Urdu schools and colleges in every locality where Urdu-speaking people were 10 per cent or more of the population.
Unfortunately most of the recommendations went unheeded and the only major implementation was the establishment of Urdu academies and that, too, in some state were implemented.
Born in Delhi in 1935, Khaliq Anjum, whose real name is Khaliq Ahmed Khan, did his intermediate and graduation from Aligarh Muslim University.
Having got a Master’s in Urdu and diplomas in linguistics and library science from Delhi University, he joined Delhi University’s prestigious Karori Mal College as lecturer and taught Urdu for about 10 years. In 1970, he obtained a PhD from Delhi University. His doctoral dissertation was on Mirza Mazhar Jan-i-Janan, Urdu’s classical poet and a Sufi in his own right.

Kumail Nanjiani has scored three nominations for the 23rd annual Critics’ Choice Awards: ‘Best Original Screenplay’ alongside wife Emily V. Gordon, and ‘Best Actor in a Comedy,’ both for “The Big Sick,” and ‘Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series’ for HBO’s “Silicon Valley.” Indian American actor Aziz Ansari has been nominated in the ‘Best Actor in a Comedy Series’ category for his role in “Master of None.” (Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for IFP; Alberto E.

As Hollywood begins to embrace diversity and move away from offering stereotypical roles, a few Asian actors are having breakout career moments. And now as the award season nears, it’s bringing cheer for some.
Indian American actor Aziz Ansari and Pakistani American actor Kumail Nanjiani have scored nominations for the 23rd annual Critics’ Choice Awards. For both these actors, being the contenders for this prestigious award, which some say is a barometer for predicting the Oscars, is the best way to cap a pretty successful 2017.
Ansari, who has in the past got the critics’ nod for his Netflix comedy series, “Master of None,” is back in the race owing to the second season of the series, which was lapped by the fans. He has been nominated in the ‘Best Actor in a Comedy Series’ category for his role in the Netflix drama.
Nanjiani, a critically acclaimed actor, writer and comedian, recently starred in and co-wrote “The Big Sick” with his wife, Emily V. Gordon. The film, a romantic comedy story, which was released by Amazon Studios/Lionsgate, wowed critics and audiences alike. Nanjiani, also known for his co-starring role as Dinesh in the award-winning HBO comedy series, “Silicon Valley,” has collected multiple nominations, for his work on both “The Big Sick” and “Silicon Valley.”
He is eligible for both film and television honors this year. Nanjiani is up for ‘Best Original Screenplay’ alongside wife Emily V. Gordon, and ‘Best Actor in a Comedy’ for “The Big Sick,” as well as ‘Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series’ for “Silicon Valley.” “The Big Sick” is also contending for the ‘Best Picture’ and the ‘Best Comedy’ awards.
CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory,” which stars Indian American actor Kunal Nayyar, is competing for the ‘Best Comedy Series’ award.
Netflix leads the television honors with 20 nominations, followed by HBO with 15, FX with 13, and ABC with 12.
The Critics’ Choice Awards are bestowed annually by the Broadcast Film Critics Association and Broadcast Television Journalists Association to honor the finest in cinematic and television achievement. The BFCA is the largest film critics’ organization in the U.S. and Canada, representing more than 300 television, radio and online critics. BTJA is the collective voice of journalists who regularly cover television for TV viewers, radio listeners and online audiences.
The winners will be revealed at the star-studded Critics’ Choice Awards gala to be held Jan. 11, 2018 at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif. The awards show will air on The CW Network and will be broadcast live from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET.

Come December-end, it is curtains for Frazer Town’s lending library Mecca Book House, which for more than 40 years was a favourite haunt for women, school children and even politicians hooked to bestsellers.
My school days at St Joseph’s Indian High School are filled with memories of me running to my father’s library after classes. The fragrance of books filled Mecca Book House, which used to be packed with readers and book borrowers. Former chief minister Veerendra Patil used to be one of them on many occasions.
For the past 37 years, my daily routine consisted of starting from home to the shop at 10 am, lunch at 1.30 pm and back to my books from 4 pm to nine in the night. But all good things have to end and that applies to my business as well. From January 1, it is going to change forever and I am unsure of how to go about it.
Childhood days
I remember the good old Bangalore days when we lived in our large family home on Infantry Road. We were 12 children and I was the eldest. My father Abdul Hameed Sait was a voracious reader and was always surrounded by books at home. I remember waking up in the middle of the night to see my old man burning the midnight oil. It wasn’t a surprise when he entered a trade that involved books, a circulating library. Thus was born Mecca Book House and a fancy store attached to it at China Bazaar, now Commercial Street, in the summer of 1975. He worked out of a small shop belonging to my grandmother that he rented for Rs 50 a month.
We became famous among Bangaloreans for our stock of Mills and Boons, John Grishams, James Pattersons and Frederick Forsyths, and were extremely popular among women. Our service got us a loving and loyal clientele.
Moving out
My work with the bookshop began in 1980 after I quit my sales job at a garment store. In 1987 we moved out of Commercial Street to set up shop in Cox Town, this time as an exclusive lending library. We became an inseparable and integral part of the Cantonment area with many book lovers, especially from the Anglo-Indian community, frequenting our shop.
Those were the good old days when people were hooked to books and would spend hours in our small shop and borrow bestsellers for a nominal fee. Many often landed with children for whom we had an exclusive kids section. Once a schoolgirl borrowed 15 books but returned them a decade later to rekindle ties with us and we were happy to see her. Customers were family.
We moved yet again in 2010 to the present location on MM Road in Fraser Town after the earlier structure was sold. But customers kept coming for books. My large brown registers have recorded details of every customer who has visited right from the 1980s. I still write down every detail in the register.
Internet and smartphones turned villain and the reading habit deteriorated. Business started to dip, but you don’t give up. Book business is an addiction but it can be punishing sometimes. We are forced to wind up as my landlady wants the place and not because I want to get beaten down by the interne age. I did try to shift the shop but am unable to do so due to skyrocketing rents and steep advances.
The word of the closure has spread and some have trouble accepting that Mecca Book House, which has been part of their lives for 42 years from its Commercial Street days, will soon be history. Of the 5,500 plus books, I managed to sell 3,500 and I’m waiting for the rest to be sold before I bid adieu to my 100sqft workplace.
I have no choice but to wind up at the age of 65. But I am content having run a lending bookstore since 1980, which gave me a lot of friends, good health and importantly the opportunity to read some of the bestselling novels from across the globe.

Indian expat flies solo after record time of 25 hours training

Sharjah:
At just 14 years old, a Sharjah teenager has become one of the youngest pilots to fly a single-engine aircraft.
Indian expat Mansour Anis, a Grade 9 student at Delhi Private School in Sharjah, received a certificate for his first solo flight from an aviation academy in Canada last week.
Back in the UAE after his achievement, Mansour claimed that he had also set a record of being the youngest pilot to fly solo with the least number of training hours.
“He broke the previous record of a 15-year-old German pilot and a 14-year-old US pilot who took 34 hours of training. Mansour flew solo just after 25 hours of training,” Mansour’s father Ali Asgar Anis told Gulf News on Wednesday.
Summer training
Ali, a civil engineer heading the engineering department at Zulekha Hospital, said he had sent his son along with his wife Munira, a chemistry teacher with Wesgreen International School, to Canada for the training session during the summer holidays.
In some countries, like the US and UK, a person has to be at least 16 years old before taking to the air on their own. In the UAE and India, the pilot has to be at least 18 to be eligible to fly. However, in Canada, 14 is the minimum age for student pilots to join the course and try flying after meeting the requirements.
“Since he turned 14 in June, we decided to take him to Canada for setting this record,” said Munira.

She said her brother Qaid Faizy, a pilot with Jet Airways in Inida, has been an inspiration for Mansour since his childhood.
Fascinated about flying
“I got fascinated about flying the plane because of my uncle. He has been my inspiration and he has envisioned me to become a commercial pilot after I turn 18,” said Mansour.
When he was about eight years, Mansour received a flight simulator as a gift from his uncle. “I learnt some basic lessons using that. My uncle has also given me and my sister the chance to visit the cockpit of an aircraft in which we flew once.”
His uncle also allowed Mansour to sit with his sister Mariya, a medicine student in Mauritius, when she once flew a Cessna aircraft at an aviation school in India, where the former used to teach, around four years ago.
Apart from the flying test, he has also passed a radio communication test / .Image Credit: Atiq ur Rehman/Gulf News
Mansour, who also flew a Cessna 152 aircraft during his solo flight, now has a student pilot permit. Apart from the flying test, he has also passed a radio communication test and scored 96 per cent in the PSTAR Test, an eligibility test for Transport Canada.
It was chief flying instructor at the AAA Academy Robert Wickins who trained Mansour during his course.
“He used to brief me about how the plane works. He taught me how to turn the aircraft. Then we went for some exercises like stall, spin, spiral dive etc. I was scared at first… but then it was fun. Also he had assured me nothing would go wrong and we can control the aircraft.”
Mansour’s solo flight was about 10-minutes long, during which he taxied the aircraft from the parking bay to the runway, took off for a flight of about five minutes and landed back.
Light aircraft
“The aircraft was really light because the instructor’s weight was not there. The plane was in the air a bit faster. I was excited and a little nervous.
“After I took off, I concentrated on flying how I did with the instructor. Everything happened very quickly,” said Mansour, who is now on cloud nine about his achievement.
“I am planning to go again to Canada next year to continue flying. If I don’t continue I will forget everything. At 16 years, I will take a recreational pilot permit. At 17, I will take private pilot license and at 18, I will take a commercial pilot license,” said the boy for whom the sky is not the limit.

For 320 years, Delhi was the city of sultans. Here is the list of the 32 rulers and where they rest now.
Sheesh Gumbad in Lodhi Gardens.(Mayank Austen Soofi / HT Photo)
The other day, while driving past an obscure monument, a friend demanded to know its name. We had no idea so we bluffed, “Ah, that’s a Lodhi-era tomb!”
The truth is we can’t even list all the Lodhi kings.
In any case, the Lodhi dynasty was part of the more elaborate Delhi Sultanate (not to be confused with ‘Delhi Sultanate’, a so-named member of The Sky Vengers music band). The Delhi Sultanate we are talking about spanned five dynasties, 32 rulers and 320 years. It lasted from 1206 to 1526. Today we give you the names of all the rulers of the Sultanate — one of whom was India’s first woman ruler, while the last was vanquished by Babur, the founder of the Mughal dynasty.
We also used this list to hunt the graves of these Sultanate royals — right here in our city. Of course, it’s not possible to access every king’s tombstone. Quite a few of them were killed in small and big wars, at times far from Delhi. Frustratingly, history books leave no solid evidence of their burial spots.
Some others of these important men turned out to be so insignificant in the long run that their graves have been forgotten, making it impossible to trace them today. Here’s a list of all the rulers, and the graves of those we were able to locate.
