Apr 08 - Apr 14 2016
The days have started getting warmer. Today also marks the start of month of ‘Chaitra’, as per hindu calendar. 30 days starting today, the planet is closest to Sun, its like the planet shall be charging its batteries.
While the planet is getting charged up, we should not be left behind. And the weekly brings to you ample opportunities to charge and recharge yourselves.
There is humour, there is theatre, there is visual arts, there is lecture, there is scrap art etc etc….
In AAW 53 we feature the legendary revolutionary poet and freedom fighter Zaverchand Meghani. His literary breadth ranged from soul stirring ‘Kasumbi no rang..’ to foot tapping ‘Mor bani thangat kare…’. He was referred to as ‘Rashtirya Shayar’ (National Poet) by Mahatma Gandhi. The greatest work of his life, is the huge effort he put in to compile and present the folklores of Saurashtra, Gujarat. If it weren’t for his efforts, lot of legends and folklores would have never reached the generation beyond him.
To sum up, Follow the weekly and make most of your week!
