Hyderabad Urban Lab brings to Lamakaan, the second in the series of conversations about what it means to be urban in the 21st century.
This conversation titled 'Faith and the City' is set up as a structured exchange between Dr. Sarah Waheed, Professor of History at Davidson College in North Carolina, USA and Dr. Anant Maringanti, Director of Hyderabad Urban Lab. Dr. Waheed, will bring insights from her work on gender, religion, and anxieties of being in transnational urban contexts. Dr. Maringanti will bring his work on social justice and the role of faith in organizing. The broader goal of the conversation is to open up the taken for granted understandings of faith and religion as relationships to the self, to the other and to our collective existence in rapidly altering urban setttings.

As last time, we promise good music and great opening gambits. It is for you to make it a great conversation.

'MARYAADA…'

The unspoken boundary of the psyche; the silent barrier of our hearts and souls. Some dedicate their entire lives to preserving it, sacrificing their passions and crushing the very feelings and emotions that make them question the ideals they have bound themselves and those who love them in and in the process earn the epithet of ‘Maryaada Purushottam’. While others spend their lives straining beneath the weight of the heavy ideals imposed on them by society - struggling to break free.

But what lies beyond? Beyond definitions of right or wrong; good or evil; ugly or beautiful – when the robes handed down over centuries of ‘civilized’ society are stripped away – what is real? Is it necessary to choose one truth: either that of the victor or the vanquished? Can it be that each of us gets to choose our own truth and each is equally real?

SUTRADHAR brings you an evening with two short plays:

Fandry is a 2013 Indian Marathi-language film, written and directed by Nagraj Manjule in a directorial debut. It stars Somnath Avghade and Rajshree Kharat as the film leads. The story focuses on a young boy's infatuation amidst caste-based discrimination.

The Drama "To Mi Navhech" is a intense Court Room Drama

based on the famous Madhav Kazi Case of the 60's. This was

covered immensely by Press & Professor Mr. P.K. Atre of

Marathi Daily "Maratha", used to write editorials on the case

during the court proceedings which were very popular.

The Drama is totally based on Court Room Scenes laced with

intermittent flash back of the witness/victims. Where the

accused is shown in different guises & again comes back to

Court Room, in the Original guise. These fast changes of guise

and scene is the key to this Drama.

Lakhoba Lokhande, the central character, has duped many

people including Girls, Married them, Usurped all their wealth

and vanished only to surface with a different name and

different guise to dupe another girl, he has even murdered a

victim. During the proceedings, he decides to plead his own

case.

The last act which is being staged today is the final part where

in arguments take place and the judgment is delivered.

Pranks can be notorious, but the truth can be uglier.

About the Play - How many of us have dealt with imprisonment of some sort inside our own homes? Today, freedom of speech, freedom of thought and freedom of any kind is rare to come by. Hasn`t the world seen some very disturbing parental relationships? The impact of a disturbed childhood is grave. In fact, no one else can understand just how bad it is.

This is the story of four hostel roommates (Anil, Ajay, Sirish and Rakesh), who plan to play a prank on their friend to pull his leg. As they have been friends for a while now, they know each other pretty well. One day, Ajay`s 3 friends plan to tell him that his father is waiting for him in the room. He is shocked, because his father has never visited him in 3 years. He rushes to the room to meet him and finds only his friends there. This leads to an argument between them, which reveals more than they would like.

A vocal recital by Renduchintala Murali Krishna in the Carnatic style, accompanied by Sri J.Saibaba on Violin and Sri J.Bala Murali Krishna on Tabla/Mridangam. The artiste had earlier performed at different venues such as Shilparamam, Annamayyapuram, TTD Balaji Temple, Guruvayoor Temple, Chilkur Balaji Temple, Yoga consciousness Trust to name a few.He had also performed over AIR on several occasions.

The forum – ‘In Defense of Reason’ dedicated to the cause of promoting reasoning and rationality in society, is going to screen the movie ‘October: Ten Days That Shook the World’ on the centenary anniversary of the October Revolution. It was the first revolution after the establishment of ‘Paris Commune’ which was led by the working class. Russian masses down and out by the World War launched offensive on the White Palace of Petrograd (now ‘St. Petersburg’), led by the Bolsheviks on 25th October, 1917 (according to the old calendar) with the slogan of ‘Bread, Peace & Land’ and established their justified rule on the state power after a revolutionary struggle. This film made on the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution under the combined direction of Sergei Eisenstein and Grigori Aleksandrov is akin to a live documentary of the fateful mega event. Some might think that what is the need of discussion on a revolution and its legacy by a forum dedicated to promote logic and critical thinking? In answer to this, we would like to quote Marx, “Revolutions are the locomotives of history.” For a detailed discussion, you are invited on the screening. We will discuss some important questions such as the relevance of the October Revolution today! In which circumstances did this Revolution succeed? What was the historical contribution of that Revolution in the development of the toiling masses of Soviet Union? We will also discuss about the revolutionary experiment by Eisenstein in the form of ‘Montage.’ The revolutionary vigor and spirit of those “Ten Days of Revolution That Shook the World” are still alive amongst the working classes all over the world. ‘In Defense of Reason’ invites you to watch the movie and to participate in the discussion post that in Lamakaan at 1:30 PM, 6th Nov, 2016.

A Blue Print for Love by Chatura Rao - Book Launch

Haunted by memories of her dead sister and childhood home, Reva meets her sister's then-boyfriend, Suveer, every year for a day in a friendship that seems to offer each of them a way to come to terms with the past. Suveer is reporting an election story of 'dishousing' on a bungalow belonging to a Muslim businessman in a Hindu-dominated area of Gandhinagar. Unable to remain objective when the mob turns on Mahnoor, a young Muslim woman, he is beaten up and hospitalised. Without a second thought Reva leaves her husband and goes to him.
Suveer and Reva seek shelter with Mahnoor and her husband Zahyan, who find the life they'd painstakingly constructed is slowly unravelling.

This gripping story asks the question: where is home? Reva and Suveer, Zahyan and Mahnoor, be it in circumstances of love or loss, ever seek a path to return by.

Short Synopsis: Two filmmaker friends meet after fourteen years and have to spend a span of eight to ten hours together. As they celebrate the re-union, one narrates a story of a possible film to another. But soon, as the secession turns into a game of one up-man-ship; their bizarre past catches up with them. Central to this is the fatherhood of a fourteen year old girl! The duo by the end realise that they are as bankrupt as ever, in all sense of the word.
Director’s Note:This film is a sort of a reflection on my own profession, filmmaking. The genesis of this reflection is the fundamental question of the ability or inability to create something 'worthwhile'. The idea is to explore what is it to have such a ‘being’. Therefore, the film intends to go beyond its apparent subject.

About the Director: Ramchandra PN is a 1991 graduate from the ‘Film and TV Institute of India’. Over the years, he has been making documentaries, features, short films and TV programs. His first feature ‘Suddha’ (The Cleansing Rites) won him the Best Indian Film at the Osian Cinefan Festival of Asian Films, New Delhi, India in 2006 and an exhibition grant from ‘Hubart Bals Fund’, Netherlands. His second feature film ‘Putaani Party’ (The Kid Gang) won him the Best Children’s film at the Indian National Film Awards, 2009. It was also in consideration for the Asia Pacific Screen Awards Nomination, the same year.

English Grammar, read it as Priscriptive Grammar, opines that the onus of communicating what one wants to communicate without any ambiguity is on the Speaker/Writer. Pragmatics (more popularly known as Descriptive Grammar) opines that a certain degree of empathy from the Listener/Reader is required for a Communication Event to result in a Win-Win for both the Speaker and the Listener or the Writer and the Reader. This Workshop on English Grammar Vs. Pragmatics is all about letting the participants know how a balance can be struck between the two opposing viewpoints. This Workshop is useful for anyone from whichever walk of life he/she has come from. And, it is FREE.

We are PATSAV and we are organizing a series of Free Workshops under the Banner " Hyderabad Out of the Box Careers, Jobs and Entrepreneurship".

We want our event to be at Lamakaan. On Sunday 20th November at 3 PM. This is a free event. Open to the public.
