Class X exams begin Chandigarh, March 8 |
Malkit adds music to
colour Chandigarh, March 8 Malkit was invited by the music store to throw open their three-day-long Holi celebrations beginning today. Interestingly, the store was all decked up for the festival, with trolleys carrying about 28 titles on Holi. Each title comprised about 10 pieces, all on the theme of Holi. Another observation was that the store was playing only Holi-related music, and the same music will be played till March 10. Also, any visitor to the store who buys anything, irrespective of the price, is being given two packets of gulal each. From tomorrow, flowers will also be handed out as a gesture of amiability to all those visiting the store. Adding punch to the music was Malkit’s performance from a special stage with his first hit track ‘Tutak tutak. This one holds a special place in Malkit’s heart, for obvious reasons as this was the song which made him a big pop star in the country the day it was released in UK in 1984. Malkit went on to sing another hit track — ‘Gur nalon ishq mitha.’ Interestingly, this song was sung prior to ‘Tutak tutak’ but it shot to fame only after ‘Tutak’ was released. Public psychology that is. Malkit’s performance was padded by two anchors — Aftab, the anchor of the store who spoke quite fluently both in Punjabi and Urdu, as also the very-talented Joe Baath of the ‘Chak de phhate’ fame. Malkit was accompanied today by lyricist Hasan Inderpuri who has written the songs of Malkit’s latest hit track — ‘Kudi patole vargi’. This song was presented twice on public demand. Following the performance, the singer got busy giving autographs to those who purchased his album ‘Kudi patole vargi’. |

A spectacle of martial
arts Chandigarh, March 8 The feats performed by members were to be seen to be believed. They fought with all the traditional weapons initiated as instruments of self-defence and sovereignty by Guru Hargobind. This form of fighting derived a much serious connotation in the times of Guru Gobind Singh, who laid the foundation of the Khalsa and stressed the significance of weapons for securing national dignity. It was then that the Sikhs came to be termed as Singhs, the term which described the community. The form of art is all about absolute concentration in the battlefield. The members fought with dexterity, depicting the high level of professionalism they had achieved after being trained by Jathedar Satpal Singhji Bagi. The official instructor of the akhara, he was a part of the spell-binding presentation today. The weaponry displayed included kirpans, knifes, dhals, jalas, nagni barchha and nagni kirpan. From the display of solo fights, the members graduated to depict the employment of complex and dangerous weapons like the jaal (which was meant to prevent attacks from arrows). The most startling of all was the feat by Satpal Singh. Though he was blindfolded, he hit four targets today. These targets included the apple on a 10-year-old’s stomach, the banana in a 14-year-old’s mouth and a coconut on a member’s head. Last but not the least, Satpal Singh used the tip of his sword to apply surma in a member’s eyes. The martial art was also displayed by two children, the youngest members of the akhara. The children used kirpans to exhibit their finesse at the art form. The programme was organised at the Punjab Kala Bhawan, Sector 16, by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations. |
