A Mirror Greens In Spring

It is 1984, a year which marks the end of an era in New Delhi, a city simmering with ethnic strife during the anti-Sikh riots consequent to prime minister Indira Gandhi's assassination. This cataclysmic event as the backdrop to the story serves to emphasize a climate of change and depicts the difference between two very diverse refugee cultures in Delhi, created upon the partition of India when the largest migration in history took place. In fact, issues of identity and displacement are woven as a distinct motif throughout the length of the book.

Harsha V. Dehejia, takes us on a journey of the loves of Krishna, his lilas, kridas and his madhurya and above all the rasa lila. But Krishna is not only for the royalty and the nobility, he belongs to the people, the potter and the puppeteer, the bride and the mother for he is celebrated at village fairs and in chowks. Equally the modern artist does not remain untouched by the magic of Krishna and depicts him on his palette. This journey is a festival of heart throbbing love and pulsating romance, of tender moments of longing and belonging and ultimately of listening to the flute of Krishna within oneself for that is where the journey ends. In the film on Atelliers of Love Harsha V.Dehejia takes us on an enchanting journey of discovering the patrons and the palaces where Krishna paintings were made and where even today when the wind blows through the Kadamba tree we hear Krishna's flute. We see the palaces of Mandu where we hear the foot falls of Baz Bahadur and Rupa Mati, the forts of Kangra where Sansar Chand's footprints are still seen and visit the enchanted environs of Kishangarh where we hear the hushed voices of Savant Singh and Bani Thani. And as the journey ends we are privy to some of the most glorious moments of five magnificent centuries of Krishna painting.

Abba- God's Greastest Gift To Us

Abba- God's Greatest Gift To Us is a reflection of the Bangash family in tradition and in transition. Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash- the two sons of the sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan, and promising players themselves, look at their father's life with deference, humility and great love. In a world where traditional culture is often considered passe`, it is refreshing to come across a family which upholds traditional values, amalgamated though they may be with modern thinking and an urbane sophistication. Making no bones about the constant balance they strive to achieve in separating the father from the guru, the Bangash brothers tell of their father's struggles, his emotional conflicts, the betrayals he faced, his secular approach to life....Interesting vignettes of the maestro's interaction with people- famous and ordinary, indulgent cameos of his fads and foibles, Jungian examples of how the man is ruled by his heart- such are the visible vibrations of the life of a man as seen by his progeny. This biography differs from others about him in that his life has been put under a microscope by his sons. Herein lies a tale charged with emotion, objective judgment, curiosity and above all, an unflinching faith in a father and guru.

A Celebration Of Love

A Celebration Of Love celebrates the romantic heroine in the Indian arts. It is a visually rich journey which takes us to opulent havelis and bucolic groves, temples and courtyards, where we meet kings and nobility and also artists and artisans, as we hear whispers of gopis and the footfalls of Krishna. We encounter the nayika in miniature paintings and temple sculptures, pothis and calendars, dance and music but above all hear resonances of her heart throbbing longingly in our own selves for ultimately the nayika in the Indian tradition is a paradigm of the perennial quest of mankind for a divine and transcendent love. Her various adornments and trysts, the many moods of her love realized through amorous moments of longing or belonging, her strong presence in the Krishna lore and equally in the Sufi narratives, her portrayals in the Ragamala and the Barahmasa traditions of poetry and painting, through the beautiful depictions in miniature paintings as well as popular arts, have captivated our attention through the many centuries of Indian artistic representations. In these essays, she comes alive in all her splendour and radiance, she captures our attention through her sheer sensuality as she looks into the mirror and prepares for that special moment.
