A binding display of Kathak
S.D. Sharma
Chandigarh, September 18
The Pracheen Kala Kendra presented an evening of Kathak dance, “Nritya Umang”, by danseuse Rani Karnaa and her disciples at Tagore Theatre here yesterday as part of its year-long golden jubilee celebrations.
Rani Karnaa, a recipient of the Sangeet Natak Academy Award , is an exponent of Kathak, Odissi, Bharatnatyam and Manipuri dance forms, which was amply reflected during her performance.
The programme commenced with Shiv Vandana, an invocation set to Raga Bhairav, by Rani along with Debashree, Aditi, Sohini and Anindita.Magical numbers and musical notes came together with the mystic Aum in the next performance, “Shumaar”, in Raga Kirwani. The four dancers explained the mathematical combinations of taal. “Banthan aaye Shyam”, a thumri in raga Hameer set to teen tala, performed by her disciples Anupama, Anindita and Somdatta, was a combination of elegance. A jugalbandi between the stringed instruments sitar and sarod through duet amongst dancers themselves was well received. Rani led her dancers to describe the Krishna-Radha love, covering the stage with perfect sequences of movement and still poses. The solo “Chakradharan” by Vikram Iyengar too depicted Lord Krishna before the “Varsha Agaman” and portrayed the joyous moods of dancing peacocks. The abhinaya piece “Viraha” was performed next by Rani Karnaa portraying the despondent mood as she awaits the return of her beloved. The mood of the monsoon added to her pangs of separation. She received thunderous applause while performing this piece in Goud Malhar. “Chaturang” consisting of the elements of Sahitya, Sargam, Tarana and Trivatt, described the love dalliance between Krishna and the gopikas, as they danced with abandon in the groves of Vrindavan. A vibrant Tarana, an amalgam of both Kathak and Hindustani music, concluded with Hamd o Sana, a Sufi prayer to the Supreme. Director M.L. Koser honoured the artistes.

Chandigarh, September 18
Seeking medicine for vomiting problem from a city based medical centre, a Sector 46 resident was ‘gifted’ with Drug Resistance Tuberculosis (TB), a rare disease, courtesy the Chandigarh Medical Centre (CMC) management and surgeons who allegedly not only diagnosed wrong ailments but also performed inadequate chain of surgeries on her.
Suffering from vomiting problem, Mrs Anu Sharma recalls that ‘black’ day of February 2004, when she approached the CMC, Sector 17, for medicine and the doctors allegedly diagnosed a stone in her gall bladder. Mrs Sharma was also suggested to go in for a surgery, as there was no alternative to cure. Alleging negligence by the CMC doctors, Mrs Anu Sharma has also complainted to the court seeking damage charges of Rs 10 lakh apart from causing mental harassment and thus resulting huge losses not only to her health but also to her business. Mrs Sharma, running a tailoring shop cum boutique, was finally operated upon for the stone in her gall bladder in March 2004, but unfortunately she reportedly developed fever after 15 days due to the non-healing of two stitch-wounds. While talking to The Tribune, Mrs Sharma alleged that the doctors failed in controlling the fever even after administering her medicines for months long.The doctors later diagnosed tuberculosis (TB) and started treating her against the disease. Mrs Sharma claimed that swelling developed in lower abdomen due to accumulation of pus. “The doctors again failed to control the accumulation of pus even after conducting repeated surgeries,” alleged Mrs Sharma. Mr Adarsh Sharma, husband of Mrs Anu Sharma, added that they had to seek second opinion from other experts after the CMC management failed in curing her problem and even started charging for dressings on every apart from charging huge money for operations, ultra-sounds and medicines. He claimed that the doctors, who treated Anu, told them that her case was mishandled and even the exact type of TB was not diagnosed. He said that the doctors after conducting numerous tests detected Drug Resistance Tuberculosis (TB). The Sharmas alleged that prescription of over doze of unrequited drugs by the CMC doctors caused the Drug Resistance TB. Dr (Brig.) NS Bamrah, a trustee of the Trust running CMC, denied the allegations saying that Mrs Anu Sharma was mislead by certain other professionals. He also claimed that she might have suffered infection due to the treatment given by other doctors. “We operated her for stones in her gall bladder leproscopically and there was no loss of organs operated upon. The infection occurred at the holes from where the equipments were inserted. It was a localised infection and that due to the wrong medication by the others doctors preferred by the patient,” claimed Dr Bamrah. He claimed: “She developed atypical myco-bacterial infection - not the tuberculosis but a similar type of tuberculosis.” Dr Bamrah, however, claimed that the Sharmas have been trying to mislead the institution of their vested interests.

Chandigarh, September 18
Srijana Dhaliwal and Tamanna Mann are literally on a roll. Winning medals is a cakewalk for the two. These eight-year-old upcoming skaters of City Beautiful are a rage when they appear on the skating rink.
This was witnessed during the 1st Holy Child Skating Carnival held at Panchkula where Sirjana clinched gold in rink race , silver in rink race II and a bronze in rink race-I. Her friend Tamanna pocketed gold in rink race II and silver each in road race and rink race I. Looking at their medal tally graph, it appears that both share a perfect chemistry. Both skaters stole the show at Rollar Hawks skating meet held at Panchkula in May, where Sirjana clinched two gold medals in rink race 1 and road race while Tamanna grabbed the second place in rink race II in the same event. In December, Tamanna won the gold in rink race during the Chandigarh State Roller Skating Championship while Sirjana clinched the bronze on the same occasion. “We participate in every event together and had podium finish in almost all event . It hardly ever happened when either of us is left out of the dais,” said both while elated over their success. The Uttar Pradesh adjudged Sirjana, a Class III student of St Xavier Senior Secondary School, Sector 44, a ‘golden girl’ during the 4th Panthers All-India Invitational Speed Skating Championship held at Meerut on August 14 and 15. Sirjana clinched a gold in rink race 3, silver in short road race and bronze in long road race. It is not only they share the victory together but they also share the same coaches —Harpreet Singh at KB DAV Skating rink and Jaswinder Singh, skating instructor at St Xavier’s school. “Both girls are under our training in the evening session. They fearlessly get into the rink and are very quick in learning the technique of the sport and their devotion towards this sport is simply remarkable,” said coach Harpreet. “Road race is a dangerous event as you need to exert more pressure while advancing and had to balance yourself at the same time. But they are very confident and fearless girls. I am astonished to see their dedication and zeal with which they take up the challenge. This attitude of both will definitely earn them a name in this sport one day, I presume,” remarked Jaswinder Singh. Tamanna , a Class III student of KB DAV Senior Secondary School, cannot be under estimated. She stole the show during the 16th Rollar Skating Carnival held at the Skating Rink, Sector 10, with two consecutive wins in rink race 1 and rink race II and bagged a gold and a bronze medal, respectively. She was more excited when she defeated her best friend Srijana in rink race II, who was placed second. However, Srijana can also not be left behind. She clinched the gold in the road race during the same event. Both are good at studies also and are getting above 90 per cent marks. However, Tamanna wants to be a Maths teacher while Srijana wish to be a world class skater.
