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.

Screening: Eisenstein's October
Sun Nov 6, 1:30 PM
Parag Verma and Shishir Gupta
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.
Blue Print for Love-Book Launch

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.
About the Author:
Chatura Rao's first book was The Case of Disappearing Colour, a children's fantasy novel. Nabiya, a picture book for young children, and Growing Up in Pandupur- short stories co-written with Adithi Rao - are her other books for children.
Her first novel for adults was Meanwhile Upriver.
Chatura is also a freelance journalist. She conducts creative writing workshops at Prithvi Theatre, Mumbai, and is the curator of the Chandigarh Children's Literature Festival. She blogs at https://storybed.wordpress.com/

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.

Screenplay, Direction, Editing: Ramchandra PN
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.

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.

English Grammar Vs. Pragmatics
Sun Nov 20, 11:00 AM
Adi Babu
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.
