All Roads lead somewhere- no? After all, they are meant to take us to one destination or another. From the Gali-koochi of small towns and villages to the M G Roads of the big metros; they offer us the promise of salvation- of one kind or another. Money, fame, jobs that pay the rent or the jobs that keep us in the chakki-peesing and peesing. But we are happy or at least try to be, as long as we are on a journey, find a likable misery and some company to go along with that misery. What if the destinations were changed midway? What if we end up in a loop - On the same journey, again and again and yet again? What then? Avatari Devi, along with other artists as part of Team B invite you on a journey of many kinds - through the inside and outside, through the highways seen and unseen. Journeys made and unmade over the past two years. "All Roads Lead Where?" is a space to share, learn and heal together through our memories of the pandemic.

*Topic*: Talk and Discussion on The Real Kashmir Files

*Description*: "The Kashmir Files" movie claims to show the truth behind the killings and exodus of Kashmiri Pandits. However, in reality it is a deceitful mix of half-truths and naked lies aimed at spreading hatred against Muslims, Secularists and Leftists rather than giving an insight into the plight of Kashmiri Pandits. But the question is, how do we understand the problem of Kashmiri Pandits from secular perspective and how it is related to the larger Kashmir problem. Who was responsible for the killings and exodus of the pandits from the Kashmir valley? The talk and discussion will be focussed on addressing these questions.

"Main Speaker" : Anand Singh , political activist and analyst
(Anand has visited kashmir valley and interacted with ordinary Kashmiris about various aspects of Kashmir problem)

**Organiser*: *Secular intervention* and *In Defense of Reason*

An event with beautiful dance performances, singing, coming out stories, poetry, encouraging Queer Entrepreneurs to keep their stalls which are handmade

The month of April 2022 is dedicated to the finest Finnish Screenwriter & Director, Aki Olavi Kaurismäki, born 4 April 1957.

Kaurismäki is known for his extremely minimalistic style. He has been called an auteur, since he writes, directs, produces, and usually edits the films himself, and thus introduces his personal "drollery and deadpan" style. The dialogue is famously laconic: the articulation is unadorned, direct, and in strict standard language, without showing much emotion or drama. Characters frequently stand still and recite the dialogue as if it consisted of eternal truths or nothing at all. These characters rarely smile, nod sadly, and smoke constantly. The camera is usually still. Events are shown in a plain manner and characters are usually left alone to face the consequences. However, despite their tragedies and setbacks, the characters don't give up and eventually survive.

Movie: Ariel (1988), Dur: 73 minutes

A Finnish coal miner is convicted for a crime he didn't commit and dreams of breaking out to board the 'Ariel'- a ship bound for South America.

The screening will be followed by a discussion about the film and its elements.

(Hindi Play)

Duration : 1 hr 15 minutes

Written by Badal Sircar, this play is the story of a man named Bhupati, who tries to make his dream of becoming a dental doctor come true by selling the priceless property of his ancestors (an old mansion). The real joy in this story comes at that juncture when it is learned that his ancestors also reside in the same house as a soul.
Now it remains to be seen whether Bhupathi will be able to sell this house along with the ghost i.e. his ancestor? If yes, then how much effort will he have to make to reach his dream. Where on one hand Bhupati's ancestors make you feel like ghosts in this play, on the other hand the rest of the characters make you laugh. Let us see together whether Bhupathi's tooth will be uprooted or not.
