The many journeys of
Kamala Das
 |
Life has turned full circle for her as she returns to being Kamala Das and writing poetry, her first love. The aliases she had nursed and nurtured like Madhavi Kutty and Kamala Suraiyya were cast away at one fell swoop once Kamala Das made Pune her new home.

Adventure in
Chambal
The terrain in
Rajasthan is tailor-made for most adventure sports, reports Chandan
Sen
It
is well known that the
state of Rajasthan beckons tourists with its heritage and picturesque
landscape but that the diverse terrain also provides a fertile ground
for adventure tourism is something that is being recognised recently.
Bowled
over by Siraj Bagh
When you visit the
picturesque Kashmir Valley in spring, do not miss the opportunity to
tour Siraj Bagh garden overlooking the Dal Lake, writes Ehsan
Fazili
The
garden shot into the limelight for the first time in last April
for being the only garden with such a large number of tulips in
Kashmir. Thousands of local as well as domestic tourists visited the
garden last summer. It is spread over 700 kanals and located between
between Harwan-Shalimar and Nishat-Chashmeshahi.
Night
of The Departed
The 79th Academy Awards by
and large went according to script, writes Vikramdeep
Johal
This
year’s Oscars virtually
boiled down to just one award. The million-dollar question was: Would
six-time nominated director Martin Scorsese finally win the elusive
statuette? As expected, he did, for his multi-starrer crime thriller The
Departed. Nobody — be it the film community, the media or the
movie-going public — would have forgiven the members of the Academy
of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had they voted against the
64-year-old maestro.
Cinema
with a purpose
The sixth
international Social Communication Cinema Conference, which was held
in Kolkata from February 15 to 21, went beyond escapist entertainment,
reports Shoma A. Chatterji
A
popular, but badly made soap called Be Zubaan (The Folly of
Living in the Past) from Pakistan, an amateurish Beyond Love
from Vietnam, or Tsha Tsha from South Africa occupied major
space in Roop Kala Kendro’s 6th Social Communication Cinema
Conference last week.
