Evam Indrajeet - What would a writer do if one of his characters develops a mind of his own, when all other characters are perfectly happy going round and round within the boundaries that the writer has set for them? In “Evam Indrajit,” Badal Sircar’s abstract, semi-autobiographical play, a writer, who feels tortured by the need for creative expression in an undramatic world, tries to create a play with the audacious character, Indrajit, who “sees life realistically and dreams about it romantically.” His muse, Manasi, remains elusive, and the characters that he summons are mundane and undramatic, no different from the people around him.
Indrajit, created in the image of the writer himself, stands outside routine existence. Failing in his attempts at tying Indrajit to a plot, the writer faces a nightmarish writer’s block that pushes him into a moment of literary crisis. As he grapples with the existential crisis of Indrajit, we are presented at once with a macroscopic view of our own life, in which everything seems to be stuck in a repetitive loop, without purpose, without essence.“Evam Indrajit” is a timeless play that analyzes the question of identity, of the essence of life, against an apparently meaningless, existentialist backdrop. The audacious assertion of one’s identity, one’s essence, is what differentiates life from mere existence, random collections of particles of matter going round and round.

My Life as a Zucchini (2016)

In memory of Shri Kundan Shah

Screening of Movie Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983)| 2h 12min | Comedy, Drama

In the movie, Two friends who are attempting to start-up their own photo studio, come across shady dealings and corruption.A corruption that is so manifestly present that the others do not seem to question its existence, but implicitly assume it and use it to serve their own ends. Two protagonist gets involved in the filth of corruption and they try to expose everyone involved but the question remains 'will they survive?'.This tragic-comedy directed by Late Kundan Shah is one of finest movies produced during the New Wave movement in Indian cinema. It was a time of rampant unemployment and the times of the angry young man standing for justice.

One can enjoy it for its comedy but hopefully, the viewers will also see the tragedy beneath the humor.

“Venezuela: the shadow agenda”: a film screening followed by a talk on
“Current Political Scenario in Venezuela” by Prof. S.S. Negi


Lamakaan invites you to an evening of film screening of “Venezuela: the shadow agenda” a documentary by Hernando Calvo Ospina and a talk on “Current Political scenario in Venezuela”, a first hand narration from Prof. S. S. Negi, who has recently returned from Caracas,Venezuela. Dr. V. K. Bawa, a senior retired IAS Officer from Hyderabad who has written extensively on a wide range of issues, including Latin America, will chair the programme.

The event ""Venezuela: the shadow agenda": a documentary by Hernando Calvo Ospina and Talk by Prof. S. S. Negi on Current Political Scenario in Venezuela" will have the following schedule:

07:00 pm, Film screening of “Venezuela: the shadow agenda”
07:40 pm, Talk by Prof. S. S. Negi
08:30 pm, Discussion with the panelists ( Hernando Calvo Ospina, S. S. Negi, V, K. Bawa)

"Venezuela: the shadow agenda" is a forty minutes long documentary with English subtitles by the Colombian filmmaker Hernando Calvo Ospina who will join us for discussion from France through Skype. It came out as recently as August 2017 and the cover page of the documentary says: "This documentary is not temporary. It will be valid as long as the United States persists in ending the Bolivarian Revolution that is being built in Venezuela, to seize its immense oil wealth. It is based on interviews with Venezuelan scholars who, in simple and didactic language, tell us a story that the mainstream media insist on hiding or misrepresenting." Ospina’s documentary helps us understand why Venezuela has been in news all over the world for a decently long time now. Its take differs from the supposed mainstream corporate media and is based on the interviews conducted with a variety of individuals from different walks of life. It also puts in the right perspective the way US administration has shown interest in the internal affairs of Venezuela. The film screening will be followed by a lecture on Venezuela’s current political scenario with Prof. S. S. Negi, who teaches at The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad. Negi specializes in Latin American Studies and he represented India at the recently concluded International Summit of Solidarity with Venezuela, which took place in Caracas, the capital city of Venezuela from 16th to 19th September 2017.

Once celebrated for its purity, the Ganges River of India now carries contaminates from its glacial headwaters, where freshly fallen snow contains zinc from industrial emissions. Downriver, the river is dammed 16 times (with another 14 dams under construction) to provide hydroelectric power and flood control.

All along its course, water is diverted from the river for agriculture and other uses, and the 500 million people in the Ganges basin further pollute the river with household trash, industrial waste, raw sewage and the remains of the dead.

Still, the Hindu faithful revere the river as Ma Ganga - or "Mother Ganges" - a physical embodiment of the divine. Millions flock to her banks to bathe and absolve their sins with Ganga jal (Ganges water). And, almost magically, the river does cleanse itself, perhaps through dilution, perhaps through biology and the help of bacteriophages. Its waters still putrefy more slowly than water from other rivers, just as they did for sailors from the British East India Company 400 years ago.

But, little by little, this sacred and revered power is being lost due to dams and diversions, pollution and population.

Holy (un)Holy River examines the paradox of this sacred river - the intricacies of a waterway that is divine and defiled, revered and reviled - and asks the essential question: Can the Ganges survive?

K-Circle, India's Oldest Quizzing Organisation, will be conducting a Non-Competitive quiz at LaMakaan. The event will be packed with a great amount of trivia and will be a great place to start for those who wish to begin indulging in quizzes.

A note about the play:

The play is not only acted by mostly women but also has being produced, directed and scripted by the women. It captures vibrancy of womanhood and life through its colourful woman protagonists.

All the artists are women who share a common passion of telling stories through theatre. Despite being mothers, home makers and working women we take out time to pursue our passion and we are enthralled every time we hear the audience’s applause.

The sum of all colours in a rainbow results in white colour. Similarly, we as a troupe are also like the colours of a rainbow which merges into white light at home but on stage each colour has its own unique identity and style.

The following seminar is about how the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence will lead to an extraordinary difference between the current vs the future human life! And how this affects our economies, our transportation, our health care, the way we consume food or educate our children, how we work, entertain ourselves or even die?

Screening of Film "IN MEMORY OF FRIENDS". It documents the violence and terror in Punjab, India – a land torn apart by religious fundamentalists and a repressive government. After examining the political turmoil of the late 1970′s and the rise of Sikh fundamentalism, the film focuses on the legacy of Bhagat Singh, a young socialist executed by the British in 1931 at the age of 23. Singh has since become a legend. Today the State eulogizes him as a nationalist while Sikh separatists portray him as a Sikh militant. In fact, Singh was neither. Just prior to his death he wrote a book which he entitled ‘Why I Am An Atheist.’ Bhagat Singhs idea of Secularism and Socialism are still very much relevant and worth understanding.

With growing Hindu and Muslim fundamentalism across India, the importance of such a political, ideological, intellectual and human document as that produced by Anand Patwardhan is immense.

After the screening of the movie, Shri Arundeep Co-Convener, The People's Voice from Punjab will brief the audience about the backdrop of such fundamentalism during that time. He will also tell how this film was made and the importance of putting up resistance through progressive cinema against the mainstream cinema. There will be a discussion on the movie and its art in which all the viewers are welcome to participate.

The day before Heinrich Heine, a German scholar, poet and essayist died on 17th February, 1856 said, "God will pardon me, it is his trade."

But what happens when God decides to step down from his pedestal after twenty eight centuries.

We mortals often turn to God only to obtain the impossible. He is so bored and tired and sick of the rituals, century after century. He also wants change. He wants to come out of the dark corner of the temple and live like an ordinary being.

God's descent and his inability to find a job lay bares the problems faced by the common people and the devices they have to adopt to stay afloat in the social mire.

Write Club Hyderabad hosts an open writing session every Saturday to help the city embrace writing for art, expression and communication. We have over 1200 writers currently with each weekend session bringing forth many newbies to take up writing as a hobby or profession.

Evam Indrajeet - What would a writer do if one of his characters develops a mind of his own, when all other characters are perfectly happy going round and round within the boundaries that the writer has set for them? In “Evam Indrajit,” Badal Sircar’s abstract, semi-autobiographical play, a writer, who feels tortured by the need for creative expression in an undramatic world, tries to create a play with the audacious character, Indrajit, who “sees life realistically and dreams about it romantically.” His muse, Manasi, remains elusive, and the characters that he summons are mundane and undramatic, no different from the people around him.
Indrajit, created in the image of the writer himself, stands outside routine existence. Failing in his attempts at tying Indrajit to a plot, the writer faces a nightmarish writer’s block that pushes him into a moment of literary crisis. As he grapples with the existential crisis of Indrajit, we are presented at once with a macroscopic view of our own life, in which everything seems to be stuck in a repetitive loop, without purpose, without essence.“Evam Indrajit” is a timeless play that analyzes the question of identity, of the essence of life, against an apparently meaningless, existentialist backdrop. The audacious assertion of one’s identity, one’s essence, is what differentiates life from mere existence, random collections of particles of matter going round and round.

My Life as a Zucchini (2016)

PG-13 | 1h 10min | Animation, Comedy, Drama
Director: Claude Barras

In memory of Shri Kundan Shah

Screening of Movie Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983)| 2h 12min | Comedy, Drama

In the movie, Two friends who are attempting to start-up their own photo studio, come across shady dealings and corruption.A corruption that is so manifestly present that the others do not seem to question its existence, but implicitly assume it and use it to serve their own ends. Two protagonist gets involved in the filth of corruption and they try to expose everyone involved but the question remains 'will they survive?'.This tragic-comedy directed by Late Kundan Shah is one of finest movies produced during the New Wave movement in Indian cinema. It was a time of rampant unemployment and the times of the angry young man standing for justice.

One can enjoy it for its comedy but hopefully, the viewers will also see the tragedy beneath the humor.

“Venezuela: the shadow agenda”: a film screening followed by a talk on
“Current Political Scenario in Venezuela” by Prof. S.S. Negi


Lamakaan invites you to an evening of film screening of “Venezuela: the shadow agenda” a documentary by Hernando Calvo Ospina and a talk on “Current Political scenario in Venezuela”, a first hand narration from Prof. S. S. Negi, who has recently returned from Caracas,Venezuela. Dr. V. K. Bawa, a senior retired IAS Officer from Hyderabad who has written extensively on a wide range of issues, including Latin America, will chair the programme.

The event ""Venezuela: the shadow agenda": a documentary by Hernando Calvo Ospina and Talk by Prof. S. S. Negi on Current Political Scenario in Venezuela" will have the following schedule:

07:00 pm, Film screening of “Venezuela: the shadow agenda”
07:40 pm, Talk by Prof. S. S. Negi
08:30 pm, Discussion with the panelists ( Hernando Calvo Ospina, S. S. Negi, V, K. Bawa)

"Venezuela: the shadow agenda" is a forty minutes long documentary with English subtitles by the Colombian filmmaker Hernando Calvo Ospina who will join us for discussion from France through Skype. It came out as recently as August 2017 and the cover page of the documentary says: "This documentary is not temporary. It will be valid as long as the United States persists in ending the Bolivarian Revolution that is being built in Venezuela, to seize its immense oil wealth. It is based on interviews with Venezuelan scholars who, in simple and didactic language, tell us a story that the mainstream media insist on hiding or misrepresenting." Ospina’s documentary helps us understand why Venezuela has been in news all over the world for a decently long time now. Its take differs from the supposed mainstream corporate media and is based on the interviews conducted with a variety of individuals from different walks of life. It also puts in the right perspective the way US administration has shown interest in the internal affairs of Venezuela. The film screening will be followed by a lecture on Venezuela’s current political scenario with Prof. S. S. Negi, who teaches at The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad. Negi specializes in Latin American Studies and he represented India at the recently concluded International Summit of Solidarity with Venezuela, which took place in Caracas, the capital city of Venezuela from 16th to 19th September 2017.

Once celebrated for its purity, the Ganges River of India now carries contaminates from its glacial headwaters, where freshly fallen snow contains zinc from industrial emissions. Downriver, the river is dammed 16 times (with another 14 dams under construction) to provide hydroelectric power and flood control.

All along its course, water is diverted from the river for agriculture and other uses, and the 500 million people in the Ganges basin further pollute the river with household trash, industrial waste, raw sewage and the remains of the dead.

Still, the Hindu faithful revere the river as Ma Ganga - or "Mother Ganges" - a physical embodiment of the divine. Millions flock to her banks to bathe and absolve their sins with Ganga jal (Ganges water). And, almost magically, the river does cleanse itself, perhaps through dilution, perhaps through biology and the help of bacteriophages. Its waters still putrefy more slowly than water from other rivers, just as they did for sailors from the British East India Company 400 years ago.

But, little by little, this sacred and revered power is being lost due to dams and diversions, pollution and population.

Holy (un)Holy River examines the paradox of this sacred river - the intricacies of a waterway that is divine and defiled, revered and reviled - and asks the essential question: Can the Ganges survive?

K-Circle, India's Oldest Quizzing Organisation, will be conducting a Non-Competitive quiz at LaMakaan. The event will be packed with a great amount of trivia and will be a great place to start for those who wish to begin indulging in quizzes.

A note about the play:

The play is not only acted by mostly women but also has being produced, directed and scripted by the women. It captures vibrancy of womanhood and life through its colourful woman protagonists.

All the artists are women who share a common passion of telling stories through theatre. Despite being mothers, home makers and working women we take out time to pursue our passion and we are enthralled every time we hear the audience’s applause.

The sum of all colours in a rainbow results in white colour. Similarly, we as a troupe are also like the colours of a rainbow which merges into white light at home but on stage each colour has its own unique identity and style.

The following seminar is about how the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence will lead to an extraordinary difference between the current vs the future human life! And how this affects our economies, our transportation, our health care, the way we consume food or educate our children, how we work, entertain ourselves or even die?

Screening of Film "IN MEMORY OF FRIENDS". It documents the violence and terror in Punjab, India – a land torn apart by religious fundamentalists and a repressive government. After examining the political turmoil of the late 1970′s and the rise of Sikh fundamentalism, the film focuses on the legacy of Bhagat Singh, a young socialist executed by the British in 1931 at the age of 23. Singh has since become a legend. Today the State eulogizes him as a nationalist while Sikh separatists portray him as a Sikh militant. In fact, Singh was neither. Just prior to his death he wrote a book which he entitled ‘Why I Am An Atheist.’ Bhagat Singhs idea of Secularism and Socialism are still very much relevant and worth understanding.

With growing Hindu and Muslim fundamentalism across India, the importance of such a political, ideological, intellectual and human document as that produced by Anand Patwardhan is immense.

After the screening of the movie, Shri Arundeep Co-Convener, The People's Voice from Punjab will brief the audience about the backdrop of such fundamentalism during that time. He will also tell how this film was made and the importance of putting up resistance through progressive cinema against the mainstream cinema. There will be a discussion on the movie and its art in which all the viewers are welcome to participate.

Our Meetups aim at helping writers reach their goals in a supportive, collaborative, social setting. Writing doesn't have to be all by oneself. We welcome anyone who writes, regardless of genre, language or age. We have members writing novels, short stories, poetry, screenplays, essays, school reports and more. What we do, basically: One of the members of Write Club (anyone with a participation count over 2 consecutive meetups) hosts a session. They bring forth a theme and writing exercises.

We also exchange feedback and constructively critique each other's works. Entry is free, anyone with an interest in writing can walk in. Bring your writing devices and we’re all set!

The day before Heinrich Heine, a German scholar, poet and essayist died on 17th February, 1856 said, "God will pardon me, it is his trade."

But what happens when God decides to step down from his pedestal after twenty eight centuries.

We mortals often turn to God only to obtain the impossible. He is so bored and tired and sick of the rituals, century after century. He also wants change. He wants to come out of the dark corner of the temple and live like an ordinary being.

God's descent and his inability to find a job lay bares the problems faced by the common people and the devices they have to adopt to stay afloat in the social mire.

Mandir Mein Hadtal, a hilarious comedy, is Hindi adaptation of Marathi play "Vithal To Aala Aala" by Sh P L Deshpande with subtle message presented by KissaGo's after our highly acclaimed productions - Jee Huzoor, Kamla, Ilhaam and Masala Chai.
