This November let's celebrate one of the most intellectual directors of all time, Woody Allen's films, as we celebrate his birthday too.
Heywood Allen (born Allan Stewart Konigsberg; November 30, 1935) is an American filmmaker, actor, and comedian whose career spans more than six decades. Allen has received many accolades, including the most nominations for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, with 16. He has won four Academy Awards, ten BAFTA Awards, two Golden Globe Awards and a Grammy Award, as well as nominations for a Emmy Award and a Tony Award.

Two of his films have been inducted into the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
Allen began his career writing material for television in the 1950s, alongside Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Larry Gelbart, and Neil Simon. He also published several books of short stories and wrote humor pieces for The New Yorker. In the early 1960s, he performed as a stand-up comedian in Greenwich Village, where he developed a monologue style (rather than traditional jokes) and the persona of an insecure, intellectual, fretful nebbish. During this time, he released three comedy albums, earning a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album nomination for the self-titled Woody Allen (1964).

Independent TV special talk show

తెలంగాణ అసెంబ్లీ ఎన్నికల నేపథ్యంలో రాజకీయ పార్టీలు ఆకర్షణీయమైన మేనిఫెస్టోలతో బరిలోకి దిగాయి. సామాన్యుడిని ఉక్కిరి బిక్కిరి చేసేంతగా హామీల వర్షం కురిపిస్తున్నాయి. పోలింగ్‌ తేదీకి రోజుల వ్యవధి మాత్రమే మిగిలింది. మరి ప్రజలేం కోరుకుంటున్నారు? పార్టీల హామీలతో సామాన్యుడు సంతృప్తి వ్యక్తం చేస్తున్నాడా? ప్రత్యేక రాష్ట్ర ఉద్యమంలో క్రియశీలక పాత్ర పోషించిన విద్యార్థి, యువత ఆకాంక్షలు నెరవేరాయా?

In the wake of the Telangana Assembly elections, political parties have entered the fray with attractive manifestos. Promises are raining down to the point of suffocating the common man. The polling date is only days away. And what do people want? Is the common man satisfied with the promises of the parties? Have the aspirations of the students and youth who played an active role in the separate state movement been fulfilled?

పార్టీల మేనిఫెస్టోలను యువత ఎలా చూస్తోంది?
ప్రభుత్వాల నుంచి ఏం కోరుకుంటోంది?
హామీలు - ఆకాంక్షలకు మధ్య వైరుద్యాన్ని ఎలా చూస్తోంది?
చర్చిద్దాం రండి.

How do the youth see the manifestos of the parties?
What do you want from governments?
How does one see the conflict between promises and aspirations?

Let's discuss!

Some universal truths never fade, like the one below:

“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For the want of a horse the rider was lost,
For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.”

Very often the "Nail" can be referred to as just one small act in the right direction, that can make all the difference in our life. Yet, we cannot defy our habitual patterns and keep struggling with a hope that "One day things might be fine, and very often that 'one-day' for most of us becomes the day, from where the U-turn becomes impossible. And if you are reading this, this very truth must be a part of your life, in some or the other form, undeniable.

The art of drawing a SMILE, is a very simple workshop, which teaches us to fix that very 'nail' for which even a battle can be lost.

Saadat Hasan Manto is known to most of us as the ‘serious, brooding’ playwright.
But Manto also authored a series of hilarious urdu radio plays on the bitter-sweet squabbles between couples.

Each play’s title begins with Aao… (Come) and the series is written around three primary characters, Kishore, his wife Lajwanti and his friend Narayan. Darpan Theatre Group presents Mazhaiya Mizaj E Manto, his comical take on the sweet and tangy relationship between a couple and will be staging two stories from Manto’s lesser-known ‘Aao...’ series, Aao Khoj Karein and Aao Kahani Likhein. The plot revolves around delightful banter between Kishore and Lajwanti and the timely interception of Narayan in each new situation.

Aao kahani likhein’ has Lajwanti insisting that she and Kishore “write a story together”. Narayan joins them and three drive the story in three different directions till they end up with a real comical script.

Aao Khoj Lagayein is a story where Kishore tries to find the thief and how they react when they come to know about the thief's motive behind stealing?

As Darpan revisits plays from Manto's Aao series, be a part of this beautiful adventure and witness the humorous scrapes and escapades between the Kishore, Lajwanti and Narayan

About: The Gaza Monologues are testimonies written by ASHTAR youth in 2010, after the first war on the Gaza Strip. Tragically, these Monologues are still accurate today. They are highlighting the horrors, hopes and resilience of the courageous Gazans to a wider audience, bringing out the voices of children and people in Gaza.

Due to the horrific war taking place in Gaza, ASHTAR is launching an urgent request to all its friends and theater makers around the world to publicly read or perform The Gaza Monologues on November 29th. By sharing these Monologues, we hope to create more empathy and awareness internationally.

Hyderabad Odissi Utsav is an annual dance festival that celebrates Odissi dance and the Jagannath culture. Odissi Utsav is celebrated all over India to bring the Odissi fraternity together. It is named after the state's name, for example in Hyderabad, Hyderabad Odissi Utsav, in Bangalore, Bangalore Odissi Utsav, and so on.
Odissi Utsav is the brainchild of Shri Shyamhari Chakra. Shyamhari Chakra is a New Delhi-based independent journalist, writer, and editor on cultural affairs. He has 25 years of experience in print media as a former journalist and arts critic with The Indian Express & The Hindu.
The Hyderabad Odissi Utsav was conceptualized in 2019 at Potti Sriramulu University. This year, the Odissi Rasikas have come together to celebrate the Jagannath Cult yet again.
The sole objective of Hyderabad Odissi Utsav is to keep Odissi Dance alive amongst the southern dance forms. On this occasion, the Odissi dancers will unfold the intricacies of Odissi music through the five popular segments: Mangalacharana, Sthayi, Pallavi, Abhinaya, and Mokshya. Hyderabad Odissi Utsav not only provides opportunities to the Hyderabad-based Odissi dancers but also welcomes Odissi dancers from different states to bring a sense of integrity.
Lamakaan is a liberal and multicultural space that has embraced art lovers to showcase their warmth and respect towards their culture and tradition. We have an immense urge to celebrate Hyderabad Odissi Utsav 2023 at Lamakaan, one of the bewitching spaces for art and music.

Shudrka Hyderabad's Hindi play is inspired by Albert Camus' Caligula. It is adapted and directed by Shri Swapan Mondal.

By now, it is clear without doubt that what we are witnessing in India is the onslaught of Hindutva fascism. It is a kind of fascism which has developed in the specific context of India. It has many similarities with the fascism that rose in Europe in 1930s and at the same time it has several pecularities as well. In order to fight it out in the current era, we need to grasp both the elements of continuity and of change thouroughly. Only then we will be in a position to make effective strategy and tactics to defeat Hindutva fascism decisively and to uproot it from our society. With this aim in mind, 'In Defense of Reason' is organising this important talk and discussion. The main speaker will be Anand Singh who is a political activist based out of Hyderabad. We invite all the progressive and justice-loving people who wish to erase all traces of fascism from our society to be part of this important discussion.

తెలంగాణ అసెంబ్లీ ఎన్నికల నేపథ్యంలో రాజకీయ పార్టీలు ఆకర్షణీయమైన మేనిఫెస్టోలతో బరిలోకి దిగాయి. సామాన్యుడిని ఉక్కిరి బిక్కిరి చేసేంతగా హామీల వర్షం కురిపిస్తున్నాయి. పోలింగ్‌ తేదీకి రోజుల వ్యవధి మాత్రమే మిగిలింది. మరి ప్రజలేం కోరుకుంటున్నారు? పార్టీల హామీలతో సామాన్యుడు సంతృప్తి వ్యక్తం చేస్తున్నాడా? ప్రత్యేక రాష్ట్ర ఉద్యమంలో క్రియశీలక పాత్ర పోషించిన విద్యార్థి, యువత ఆకాంక్షలు నెరవేరాయా?

In the wake of the Telangana Assembly elections, political parties have entered the fray with attractive manifestos. Promises are raining down to the point of suffocating the common man. The polling date is only days away. And what do people want? Is the common man satisfied with the promises of the parties? Have the aspirations of the students and youth who played an active role in the separate state movement been fulfilled?

పార్టీల మేనిఫెస్టోలను యువత ఎలా చూస్తోంది?
ప్రభుత్వాల నుంచి ఏం కోరుకుంటోంది?
హామీలు - ఆకాంక్షలకు మధ్య వైరుద్యాన్ని ఎలా చూస్తోంది?
చర్చిద్దాం రండి.

How do the youth see the manifestos of the parties?
What do you want from governments?
How does one see the conflict between promises and aspirations?

Let's discuss!

ALL ARE WELCOME

Some universal truths never fade, like the one below:

“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For the want of a horse the rider was lost,
For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.”

Very often the "Nail" can be referred to as just one small act in the right direction, that can make all the difference in our life. Yet, we cannot defy our habitual patterns and keep struggling with a hope that "One day things might be fine, and very often that 'one-day' for most of us becomes the day, from where the U-turn becomes impossible. And if you are reading this, this very truth must be a part of your life, in some or the other form, undeniable.

Saadat Hasan Manto is known to most of us as the ‘serious, brooding’ playwright.
But Manto also authored a series of hilarious urdu radio plays on the bitter-sweet squabbles between couples.

Each play’s title begins with Aao… (Come) and the series is written around three primary characters, Kishore, his wife Lajwanti and his friend Narayan. Darpan Theatre Group presents Mazhaiya Mizaj E Manto, his comical take on the sweet and tangy relationship between a couple and will be staging two stories from Manto’s lesser-known ‘Aao...’ series, Aao Khoj Karein and Aao Kahani Likhein. The plot revolves around delightful banter between Kishore and Lajwanti and the timely interception of Narayan in each new situation.

Aao kahani likhein’ has Lajwanti insisting that she and Kishore “write a story together”. Narayan joins them and three drive the story in three different directions till they end up with a real comical script.

Aao Khoj Lagayein is a story where Kishore tries to find the thief and how they react when they come to know about the thief's motive behind stealing?

As Darpan revisits plays from Manto's Aao series, be a part of this beautiful adventure and witness the humorous scrapes and escapades between the Kishore, Lajwanti and Narayan

About: The Gaza Monologues are testimonies written by ASHTAR youth in 2010, after the first war on the Gaza Strip. Tragically, these Monologues are still accurate today. They are highlighting the horrors, hopes and resilience of the courageous Gazans to a wider audience, bringing out the voices of children and people in Gaza.

Due to the horrific war taking place in Gaza, ASHTAR is launching an urgent request to all its friends and theater makers around the world to publicly read or perform The Gaza Monologues on November 29th. By sharing these Monologues, we hope to create more empathy and awareness internationally.

This November let's celebrate one of the most intellectual directors of all time, Woody Allen's films, as we celebrate his birthday too.

Heywood Allen (born Allan Stewart Konigsberg; November 30, 1935) is an American filmmaker, actor, and comedian whose career spans more than six decades. Allen has received many accolades, including the most nominations for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, with 16. He has won four Academy Awards, ten BAFTA Awards, two Golden Globe Awards and a Grammy Award, as well as nominations for a Emmy Award and a Tony Award. Allen was awarded an Honorary Golden Lion in 1995, the BAFTA Fellowship in 1997, an Honorary Palme d'Or in 2002, and the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2014. Two of his films have been inducted into the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.

Allen began his career writing material for television in the 1950s, alongside Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Larry Gelbart, and Neil Simon. He also published several books of short stories and wrote humor pieces for The New Yorker. In the early 1960s, he performed as a stand-up comedian in Greenwich Village, where he developed a monologue style (rather than traditional jokes) and the persona of an insecure, intellectual, fretful nebbish. During this time, he released three comedy albums, earning a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album nomination for the self-titled Woody Allen (1964)

Shudrka Hyderabad's Hindi play is inspired by Albert Camus' Caligula. It is adapted and directed by Shri Swapan Mondal.

By now, it is clear without doubt that what we are witnessing in India is the onslaught of Hindutva fascism. It is a kind of fascism which has developed in the specific context of India. It has many similarities with the fascism that rose in Europe in 1930s and at the same time it has several pecularities as well. In order to fight it out in the current era, we need to grasp both the elements of continuity and of change thouroughly. Only then we will be in a position to make effective strategy and tactics to defeat Hindutva fascism decisively and to uproot it from our society. With this aim in mind, 'In Defense of Reason' is organising this important talk and discussion. The main speaker will be Anand Singh who is a political activist based out of Hyderabad. We invite all the progressive and justice-loving people who wish to erase all traces of fascism from our society to be part of this important discussion.
