Sutradhar's Biryani aur Haleem is an adaptation into Deccani of Hugh Chesterman's 'The Pie & The Tart'. The play has been directed by Mohit & Deepti.

The world we live in is a very strange place. Some eat to live and some live to eat. In one way or another our lives revolve around food: some cook; some eat; some store it ; some hoard it; some starve for it; some steal it..Our very survival depends on food.
That is what the two main characters of this play are trying to do; survive another day in their lives. Salim & Javed are two beggars; like any other; they meet on a street like any other; on a day like any other. But what results is hilarity like never before.
The two share their stories; their ‘areas’; and their modus operandi. As they go from street to street and house to house pleading to people’s sense of charity, they chance upon the home of Ismail Bhai & his wife Pasha Bi. Ismail Bhai is a well known cook who has been invited by a Nawaab to display his culinary skills. Eager to impress the nawaab, he prepares a special Biryani and instructs his wife to hand it over to the delivery boy he sends.
The plan is overheard by the two hungry friends, who decide to change the route of the Biryani to their hungry stomachs instead of the Nawaab’s.
What becomes of Salim, Javed & the Biryani?
Find out in Sutradhar's Biryani aur Haleem.

Professor Edwards will talk about matters of energy, and personal and community strategies to address looming environmental challenges and engage in a short interaction with the audience following that.

World-wide, over a billion adults are overweight and 300 million are officially obese. The Energy Glut expertly tells the story of energy in society, and places 'fatness' next to climate change, as manifestations of the same fundamental planetary malaise. This exciting new book argues that the pulse of fossil fuel energy released from the ground after the discovery of oil not only started the process of catastrophic climate change, but also propelled the average human weight distribution upwards. The author presents a terrifying vision of humans besieged by a food industry that uses sophisticated marketing techniques to sell us mountains of energy-dense food whilst at the same time we are 'functionally paralysed' with fewer opportunities to move our bodies than ever before and that the accumulation of body fat is a political, not a personal, problem. This insightful new work offers and appraises for the reader a set of personal and political de-carbonising strategies, but to 'tread more lightly on our world' we first need to make sense of the systemic processes, and Energy Glut takes expert first steps in this direction.

Professor Phil Edwards is a faculty member and statistician at London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. His research interests are in two broad areas: (i) transport & health, and (ii) evidence-based data collection. He is co-author of the book "The Energy Glut".

On Jiddu Krishna Murthy's birth anniversary join us for a screening of his philosophy told in a wonderful narrative of Dance and Music.

We live in an insane and complex world. Our life in this world is filled with conflict, suffering and enormous problems. There is so much confusion and violence everywhere in this world. The world has become so chaotic and dangerous. Human beings have become completely helpless, indifferent and irresponsible. The external world is the result of our inner chaotic state. We have created this chaotic world. If we are able examine the workings of our own minds and see and understand the confusion within us, there is no doubt that we will be able to discover the cause of the external chaos within our own minds. But is it enough to only blame ourselves?
Is there a way out? Is there a way of redeeming ourselves and the world at large?
Essence of Life explores these deeper existential issues through different dance forms, articulating that the cause and here its our focus to make each individual to understand once own mind and thruogh this understanding be complexly free from once problems .In each of these dance farms in the script we highlighted the solution to our fundamental human problems.With an emphasis that you can be you own guru and find a permanent solution to your own problems. we assure you that if you grasp this with an open mind you will be the happiest human being.

"The essence of goodness is a mind that is not in conflict. Examine it, look at it. Goodness cannot flower through another, through a religious figure, through dogma, through belief, it can only flower in the soil of total attention in which there is no authority. You are following all this? Is this all too complex? And goodness implies great responsibility. You cannot be good and allow wars to take place. So a man that is really good is totally responsible for all his life. – Krishnamurti, This Light in Oneself".

The play “Daddy’s lil girl” is divided in three parts which throw light on the 3 major parts of a woman’s life. The first part is about how the parents of the girl are in doubt whether to have her or not, putting her very existence into jeopardy. This part has both the mother and the father present arguments about why they should or shouldn’t have a baby and another couple enacting the imaginations – both fears & expectations of the parents. How they come to the decision whether or not they should have a baby is showcased in this part. The second part shows the girl in her early twenties. She has just got a job and her parents are looking for matrimonial alliances for her. However, she doesn’t like any of the matches her parents bring forth. After a long wait, she does finally like one of the matches her parents bring and the wedding is fixed…but only a few days before the wedding she gets to know something about the guy that will make her rethink her decision to marry him. What is that thing..? What does she decide? How she copes with her decision? Does her family support her? All these questions are answered in the second part. The third part is a monologue that portrays the life of a highly successful woman in her mid-30’s and is a divorcee. She is tired of the questions she is asked at every turn of life, the justification she has to give for every step she takes. Annoyed at the change of people’s attitude towards her since the divorce, she expresses her frustration at the lack of support from her close ones and expresses anguish at the current state of affairs of the chauvinistic society. Directed by: Rahul R Directors Note: ‘Daddy’s lil girl’ is a depiction of the various stages of women life which are influenced or dictated by the allegedly ‘stronger’ sex or the same .This play is a unheard voice of the ordinary women who fails to express he distress to her loved one & also talk about how women can take control completely when required. We focus on her ….her sacrifices, her fear, her strength, her ego , her happiness , her love , her passion & her every lil thing …!!

A film exploring the relevance of Kaloji Narayana Rao (1914-2002) in the current times, captured through his personal life and ideas of resistance. Popularly known as Kaloji or Kalanna, he was much loved and admired poet, freedom fighter and political activist of Telangana.

Mana Kaloji, was shaped with the archival interviews of his wife - Rukmini Bai, grandson –Santosh and Kaloji himself. Kaloji’s life, narrated as memories by his wife and grandson, has been juxtaposed with his own interview where he counters with his own ideas of life and resistance. This juxtaposition forms a conversation-like intimate encounter with him capturing the human essence beneath the legendary personality.

Sutradhar's Biryani aur Haleem is an adaptation into Deccani of Hugh Chesterman's 'The Pie & The Tart'. The play has been directed by Mohit & Deepti.

The world we live in is a very strange place. Some eat to live and some live to eat. In one way or another our lives revolve around food: some cook; some eat; some store it ; some hoard it; some starve for it; some steal it..Our very survival depends on food.
That is what the two main characters of this play are trying to do; survive another day in their lives. Salim & Javed are two beggars; like any other; they meet on a street like any other; on a day like any other. But what results is hilarity like never before.
The two share their stories; their ‘areas’; and their modus operandi. As they go from street to street and house to house pleading to people’s sense of charity, they chance upon the home of Ismail Bhai & his wife Pasha Bi. Ismail Bhai is a well known cook who has been invited by a Nawaab to display his culinary skills. Eager to impress the nawaab, he prepares a special Biryani and instructs his wife to hand it over to the delivery boy he sends.
The plan is overheard by the two hungry friends, who decide to change the route of the Biryani to their hungry stomachs instead of the Nawaab’s.
What becomes of Salim, Javed & the Biryani?

Professor Edwards will talk about matters of energy, and personal and community strategies to address looming environmental challenges and engage in a short interaction with the audience following that.

World-wide, over a billion adults are overweight and 300 million are officially obese. The Energy Glut expertly tells the story of energy in society, and places 'fatness' next to climate change, as manifestations of the same fundamental planetary malaise. This exciting new book argues that the pulse of fossil fuel energy released from the ground after the discovery of oil not only started the process of catastrophic climate change, but also propelled the average human weight distribution upwards. The author presents a terrifying vision of humans besieged by a food industry that uses sophisticated marketing techniques to sell us mountains of energy-dense food whilst at the same time we are 'functionally paralysed' with fewer opportunities to move our bodies than ever before and that the accumulation of body fat is a political, not a personal, problem. This insightful new work offers and appraises for the reader a set of personal and political de-carbonising strategies, but to 'tread more lightly on our world' we first need to make sense of the systemic processes, and Energy Glut takes expert first steps in this direction.

Professor Phil Edwards is a faculty member and statistician at London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. His research interests are in two broad areas: (i) transport & health, and (ii) evidence-based data collection. He is co-author of the book "The Energy Glut".

On Jiddu Krishna Murthy's birth anniversary join us for a screening of his philosophy told in a wonderful narrative of Dance and Music.

We live in an insane and complex world. Our life in this world is filled with conflict, suffering and enormous problems. There is so much confusion and violence everywhere in this world. The world has become so chaotic and dangerous. Human beings have become completely helpless, indifferent and irresponsible. The external world is the result of our inner chaotic state. We have created this chaotic world. If we are able examine the workings of our own minds and see and understand the confusion within us, there is no doubt that we will be able to discover the cause of the external chaos within our own minds. But is it enough to only blame ourselves?
Is there a way out? Is there a way of redeeming ourselves and the world at large?
Essence of Life explores these deeper existential issues through different dance forms, articulating that the cause and here its our focus to make each individual to understand once own mind and thruogh this understanding be complexly free from once problems .In each of these dance farms in the script we highlighted the solution to our fundamental human problems.With an emphasis that you can be you own guru and find a permanent solution to your own problems. we assure you that if you grasp this with an open mind you will be the happiest human being.

"The essence of goodness is a mind that is not in conflict. Examine it, look at it. Goodness cannot flower through another, through a religious figure, through dogma, through belief, it can only flower in the soil of total attention in which there is no authority. You are following all this? Is this all too complex? And goodness implies great responsibility. You cannot be good and allow wars to take place. So a man that is really good is totally responsible for all his life. – Krishnamurti, This Light in Oneself".

After a long wait, she does finally like one of the matches her parents bring and the wedding is fixed…but only a few days before the wedding she gets to know something about the guy that will make her rethink her decision to marry him. What is that thing..? What does she decide? How she copes with her decision? Does her family support her? All these questions are answered in the second part. The third part is a monologue that portrays the life of a highly successful woman in her mid-30’s and is a divorcee. She is tired of the questions she is asked at every turn of life, the justification she has to give for every step she takes. Annoyed at the change of people’s attitude towards her since the divorce, she expresses her frustration at the lack of support from her close ones and expresses anguish at the current state of affairs of the chauvinistic society. Directed by: Rahul R Directors Note: ‘Daddy’s lil girl’ is a depiction of the various stages of women life which are influenced or dictated by the allegedly ‘stronger’ sex or the same .This play is a unheard voice of the ordinary women who fails to express he distress to her loved one & also talk about how women can take control completely when required. We focus on her ….her sacrifices, her fear, her strength, her ego , her happiness , her love , her passion & her every lil thing …!!

Any park.

In...just about anywhere. With three regular benches.
And three men...just any men...squabble about the choicest of seats.
Because each one's claim is the greatest, and the most fundamental.

And in.....just about anywhere, there is never enough room for everyone.

A film exploring the relevance of Kaloji Narayana Rao (1914-2002) in the current times, captured through his personal life and ideas of resistance. Popularly known as Kaloji or Kalanna, he was much loved and admired poet, freedom fighter and political activist of Telangana.

Mana Kaloji, was shaped with the archival interviews of his wife - Rukmini Bai, grandson –Santosh and Kaloji himself. Kaloji’s life, narrated as memories by his wife and grandson, has been juxtaposed with his own interview where he counters with his own ideas of life and resistance.
