Join us on the "Habit Busting", workshop, where we will learn, discuss & understand, the patterns of the so called - Human Mind!

Unschooling is an educational method and philosophy that rejects compulsory school as a primary means for learning. Unschoolers learn through their natural life experiences including play, household responsibilities, personal interests and curiosity, internships and work experience, travel, books, elective classes, family, mentors, and social interaction. Unschooling encourages exploration of activities initiated by the children themselves, believing that the more personal learning is, the more meaningful, well-understood and therefore useful it is to the child.

Hindi Play - Shakkar Ke Paanch Dane
Written by - Manav Kaul Design & Direction - Saurabh Gharipurikar Performed by - Siddhesh Dharmadhikari
About The Play - Rajkumar has been requested to write a poem for a compilation to be published. If you knew Rajkumar you’d realize the absurdity of the request. In an hour long monologue, Rajkumar tells us about his unremarkable life in his nondescript village and the five grains of sugar – the five people – who have stood out in this drab life for reasons stranger than fiction. The filmy mother; her poet brother Pundaleek; Raghu, the school hero; old man Radhey; and the anonymous ‘Truckwala dost’ . As Rajkumar talks, the five grains become a single life-game that he has been unknowingly playing for years…and Rajkumar realizes that everyone has a story inside them.

Train to Pakistan, chapter1 - Dacoity (a play) An adaptation of Khuswant singh's first novel 'Train to Pakistan.' a powerful and moving account of India's partition, a time when Hindus and Muslims are plunged into a war of religious strife, for political benefits.

Raithu Bidda is a 1939 Telugu social problem film directed by Gudavalli Ramabrahmam written by Tripuraneni Gopichand. It is a social reformist film during the period of British India, at the time of battle against Zamindari system. The film was banned by the British Administration in the region. Ironically it was produced by one of the Zamindars of the time Challapalli Maharaja. The film had a public re-release in 1948.

The film is a seminal reformist melodrama critiquing the Zamindari system from the viewpoint of the Kisan Sabha agitations in Andhra Pradesh. Small-time landowner Narsi Reddy (Raghawan) borrows money from a shavukar who represents the major zamindar (Sitapathy) of the village. When Narsi Reddy votes for a peasant candidate (Kosaraju) rather than for the political party supported by the landlord, his son is attacked and he is publicly humiliated.

The screening is to commemorate the 100 years of the film industry, the director, the writer and their contribution to the industry.

Friends and comrades of Mohammed Tajuddin Khan (fondly called as M.T.Khan) gather at Lamakaan for reminiscing their memories of their favorite friend.

The Passing away of M.T.Khan on the morning of 20th August, 2014 has saddened all those who are concerned with Civil liberties, human rights, democracy. In the demise of M.T.Khan Telangana and Andhra has lost a great champion of human rights and a fearless fighter against all that is illegal and oppressive.

M.T. Khan was a symbol of Hyderabadi culture and civilization. Though he was born and brought up in Hyderabad and was educated in Urdu medium, he was very much concerned of the regional people and he learnt Telugu to built rapport with the people of this region. He actively participated in number of peoples’ movements and he himself led a movement against the state oppression and suppression. He always challenged undemocratic attitude of ruling class of the country and due to this, during the period of emergency he was put behind bars along with other activists. Later on he actively participated in Jail reforms movement and succeeded in bringing implementation of reforms in the jails.

He was a champion of civil liberties and human rights and he was a great humanist. He even fought for the rights of prostitutes saying that they are also human beings and they have the right to life. He was a critique of several things and looked at every issue very keenly. But he was a great democrat and never hesitated to accept the people’s opinion and this is the reason that he successfully led the APCLC for almost a decade.

He had multi qualities, command on many languages, worked in Telugu, Urdu and English newspapers. He had good influence but never used for his personal gains and led a simple and straight forward life. He had good relations with all human and civil rights organizations and on many occasions civil liberties took advices from him on various issues. He used to criticize severely and then he would give his expert advice. In short he was a man of big heart, open mind, wit and courage.


All are invited for this memorial organised by Burgula Narsinga Rao.

A Nostalgia meeting for the lovers of Soviet Telugu literature and films. Inviting all for a soviet book exhibition(not for sale), a small meeting about experience with soviet books and painting.

This will be followed by screening of soviet film "Amphibian man" at 7pm.

Amphibian Man is a 1962 Soviet science fiction romance film by Vladimir Chebotaryov and Gennadi Kazansky.

It is an almost fable-like story based upon the eponymous novel by Alexander Beliaev. It focuses on a boy named Ichthyander who was surgically altered to survive under the sea. Unlike traditional science fiction movies of the time the film focuses much more on the concept of love won and lost. It was given the name of Tarzan des Mers before the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs took exception.

The film was the leader of Soviet distribution in 1962 (65.5 million viewers). It is little-known in the West, but has later become a cult classic.

The story is set in a seaside port in Argentina, largely among a community of pearl fishers. The protagonist is the son of a doctor/scientist who was sometime in the past forced to save his son's life by implanting him with gills. Thus he is able to live under water, but must keep his secret from the world. The conflict arises from his falling in love with a pearl-fisher's beautiful daughter. His secret is discovered and the girl's stern father attempts to exploit Ichthyander for his ability. Due to being kept caged under water, he loses the ability to live in the open air, and must now permanently live in the sea. Although set free, the lovers are permanently separated from each other.

Although ostensibly a lost-love-tragedy like Romeo and Juliet, the film has a significant focus on greed and commercial exploitation (of the pearl-greedy fishermen), possibly under the influence of Socialist Realism.

Open for all. Entry - Free

Lamakaan invites you to an evening of enthralling music with Kinnera instrument with its probably last surviving player.

Kinnera is a stringed instrument like Desi Veena. This Kinnera, of which Mr.Mogulayya is a master, is twelve steps instrument (Generally it is of seven steps). It needs to be played, with both hands. The hallow pumpkins and the bamboo are the main stay of the instrument which enhances the resonance and makes the instrument melodious. The artist sings folk tales of heroes and legends.

This indigenous instrument was once very popular in the Deccan. With times and advent of electronics instruments, it is on the wane - perhaps extinct.
Sri Moguliah is perhaps among few living bards who can play this instrument and perform. The enthralling singing accompanied by this string instrument is an experience to live up. Mogulaiah wants to be not just be recognized as a performer of this wondeful instrument, but preserve the art of it.

All the connoisseurs of art of bardic tradition of singing are welcome.

Entry - Free (Voluntary Donation is welcome to support this struggling artist)

Unschooling is an educational method and philosophy that rejects compulsory school as a primary means for learning. Unschoolers learn through their natural life experiences including play, household responsibilities, personal interests and curiosity, internships and work experience, travel, books, elective classes, family, mentors, and social interaction. Unschooling encourages exploration of activities initiated by the children themselves, believing that the more personal learning is, the more meaningful, well-understood and therefore useful it is to the child.

Session Format

Students learn by exploring electronic / electrical devices. They completely disassemble the device with their own hands and to put it back together.

Small batch of 10 students led by an expert instructor.

No rules, lecture, presentation, video, assessment, test or any other expectation from the students.

Working device may be used for demonstration. Non-working devices are used for practice by students.

Students are given a complete free-hand on whatever they like to do with the equipment.

Benefits

They develop a fearless attitude towards technology and science.

They discover that these devices are not as complex or mysterious as they seem to be.

Students & teachers relate to these sessions during regular class slyllabus.

Hindi Play - Shakkar Ke Paanch Dane
Written by - Manav Kaul Design & Direction - Saurabh Gharipurikar Performed by - Siddhesh Dharmadhikari
About The Play - Rajkumar has been requested to write a poem for a compilation to be published. If you knew Rajkumar you’d realize the absurdity of the request. In an hour long monologue, Rajkumar tells us about his unremarkable life in his nondescript village and the five grains of sugar – the five people – who have stood out in this drab life for reasons stranger than fiction. The filmy mother; her poet brother Pundaleek; Raghu, the school hero; old man Radhey; and the anonymous ‘Truckwala dost’ . As Rajkumar talks, the five grains become a single life-game that he has been unknowingly playing for years…and Rajkumar realizes that everyone has a story inside them.

Train to Pakistan, chapter1 - Dacoity (a play) An adaptation of Khuswant singh's first novel 'Train to Pakistan.' a powerful and moving account of India's partition, a time when Hindus and Muslims are plunged into a war of religious strife, for political benefits.

Raithu Bidda is a 1939 Telugu social problem film directed by Gudavalli Ramabrahmam written by Tripuraneni Gopichand. It is a social reformist film during the period of British India, at the time of battle against Zamindari system. The film was banned by the British Administration in the region. Ironically it was produced by one of the Zamindars of the time Challapalli Maharaja. The film had a public re-release in 1948.

The film is a seminal reformist melodrama critiquing the Zamindari system from the viewpoint of the Kisan Sabha agitations in Andhra Pradesh. Small-time landowner Narsi Reddy (Raghawan) borrows money from a shavukar who represents the major zamindar (Sitapathy) of the village. When Narsi Reddy votes for a peasant candidate (Kosaraju) rather than for the political party supported by the landlord, his son is attacked and he is publicly humiliated.

The screening is to commemorate the 100 years of the film industry, the director, the writer and their contribution to the industry.

Friends and comrades of Mohammed Tajuddin Khan (fondly called as M.T.Khan) gather at Lamakaan for reminiscing their memories of their favorite friend.

The Passing away of M.T.Khan on the morning of 20th August, 2014 has saddened all those who are concerned with Civil liberties, human rights, democracy. In the demise of M.T.Khan Telangana and Andhra has lost a great champion of human rights and a fearless fighter against all that is illegal and oppressive.

M.T. Khan was a symbol of Hyderabadi culture and civilization. Though he was born and brought up in Hyderabad and was educated in Urdu medium, he was very much concerned of the regional people and he learnt Telugu to built rapport with the people of this region. He actively participated in number of peoples’ movements and he himself led a movement against the state oppression and suppression. He always challenged undemocratic attitude of ruling class of the country and due to this, during the period of emergency he was put behind bars along with other activists. Later on he actively participated in Jail reforms movement and succeeded in bringing implementation of reforms in the jails.

He was a champion of civil liberties and human rights and he was a great humanist. He even fought for the rights of prostitutes saying that they are also human beings and they have the right to life. He was a critique of several things and looked at every issue very keenly. But he was a great democrat and never hesitated to accept the people’s opinion and this is the reason that he successfully led the APCLC for almost a decade.

He had multi qualities, command on many languages, worked in Telugu, Urdu and English newspapers. He had good influence but never used for his personal gains and led a simple and straight forward life. He had good relations with all human and civil rights organizations and on many occasions civil liberties took advices from him on various issues. He used to criticize severely and then he would give his expert advice. In short he was a man of big heart, open mind, wit and courage.


All are invited for this memorial organised by Burgula Narsinga Rao.

A Nostalgia meeting for the lovers of Soviet Telugu literature and films. Inviting all for a soviet book exhibition(not for sale), a small meeting about experience with soviet books and painting.

This will be followed by screening of soviet film "Amphibian man" at 7pm.

Amphibian Man is a 1962 Soviet science fiction romance film by Vladimir Chebotaryov and Gennadi Kazansky.

It is an almost fable-like story based upon the eponymous novel by Alexander Beliaev. It focuses on a boy named Ichthyander who was surgically altered to survive under the sea. Unlike traditional science fiction movies of the time the film focuses much more on the concept of love won and lost. It was given the name of Tarzan des Mers before the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs took exception.

The film was the leader of Soviet distribution in 1962 (65.5 million viewers). It is little-known in the West, but has later become a cult classic.

The story is set in a seaside port in Argentina, largely among a community of pearl fishers. The protagonist is the son of a doctor/scientist who was sometime in the past forced to save his son's life by implanting him with gills. Thus he is able to live under water, but must keep his secret from the world. The conflict arises from his falling in love with a pearl-fisher's beautiful daughter. His secret is discovered and the girl's stern father attempts to exploit Ichthyander for his ability. Due to being kept caged under water, he loses the ability to live in the open air, and must now permanently live in the sea. Although set free, the lovers are permanently separated from each other.

Although ostensibly a lost-love-tragedy like Romeo and Juliet, the film has a significant focus on greed and commercial exploitation (of the pearl-greedy fishermen), possibly under the influence of Socialist Realism.

Open for all. Entry - Free

Lamakaan invites you to an evening of enthralling music with Kinnera instrument with its probably last surviving player.

Kinnera is a stringed instrument like Desi Veena. This Kinnera, of which Mr.Mogulayya is a master, is twelve steps instrument (Generally it is of seven steps). It needs to be played, with both hands. The hallow pumpkins and the bamboo are the main stay of the instrument which enhances the resonance and makes the instrument melodious. The artist sings folk tales of heroes and legends.

This indigenous instrument was once very popular in the Deccan. With times and advent of electronics instruments, it is on the wane - perhaps extinct.
Sri Moguliah is perhaps among few living bards who can play this instrument and perform. The enthralling singing accompanied by this string instrument is an experience to live up. Mogulaiah wants to be not just be recognized as a performer of this wondeful instrument, but preserve the art of it.

All the connoisseurs of art of bardic tradition of singing are welcome.

at 8:30pm: Khadga Shrusti: It is a social drama by Dr. Kandimalla Sambasivarao. It is a sword to root out the rottenness in the society. It is to awaken the society to question the dirty politics of corruption, rigging and looting. A progressive society is possible then alone.
