Dear Nilofer, and Kamayani, Thank you for your mail. The format of the programme is performances- poetry, music, , screenings, exhibitions and in between statements- 3-5 minutes.
Our idea of the statements is to raise all these issues and talk about them. It will be great if Nilofer you could come and speak to for 3-5 minutes. We hope to have 10-15 civil society members, celebrities to do that and definitely remember Hemant Karkare, Shahid Azmi . so we are reserving almost an hour out of the whole programme for interventions. there is no committee- just anhad young activists and the prog is absolutely open to changes and suggestions till we go for printing in 2-3 days time of posters etc. We thought of doing a new exhibition on similar lines but if it is already there then it is great. we were thinking of documenting 50 taxi and rikshaw walas and what mumbai means to them but now probably i can request our young team to do a video instead if the visual exhibition is available. Trying to involve college students, artists , performers . Thank you for your suggestions and support. Please do help in inviting civil society members who could give statements. I don't know everyone. We are planning to have college students from 4-6pm and then young performers and some senior people + in between the performances statements/ speeches- short ones by civil society and celebrities. exhibitions and painting outside the hall. We will culminate with Dhruv Sangari- a sufi singer and a disciple of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan sahab. so far we have confirmed a young dancers group who performed at kala ghoda fest, imaad shah- singer ( naseer sahabs son), a theatre group, a group ( yuva biradari) singing movement songs. Shabana Azmi and Rose Bose have confirmed. i reach 25th early morning. it will give me just 9 days to mount the programme so all support is required. will be operating from jogeshwari west. if you suggest a place we can meet on 25th. i will be going to the venue to see the place in bandra . please suggest a time and place. you can sms at 9811807558. would be great if we can meet at aplace where you could invite a few more people who might be interested. i will be caught up whole day tomorrow with the Communal Violence bill lobbying work in delhi so might not check the mail. shabnam On Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 6:13 PM, Niloufer Bhagwat <niloufe...@vsnl.net>wrote: > > > On Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 9:50 PM, Kamayani <kama...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Shabnam > > Niloufer Bhagwat has given the true spirit of the city Bombay, I would > like to add that we , as in women organisations do have a banner which has > MUMBAI MERI HAI is 15 languages, we could get more creative and use the > banner and elaborate on the idea with a photo exhibition > reflecting various walks of life stating Mumbai meri hai, there are > some pics ready as well. > > We can have brain storming on more creative ideas once u r in Mumbai > > I would love to support Anhad in its programs in Mumbai > > In solidarity > > Kamayani > 9820749204 > > > > On Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 6:18 PM, Niloufer Bhagwat <niloufe...@vsnl.net>wrote: > >> >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> *From:* Niloufer Bhagwat <niloufe...@vsnl.net> >> *To:* shabnam hashmi <shabnamhas...@gmail.com> >> *Sent:* Tuesday, February 23, 2010 6:13 PM >> *Subject:* Re: Celebrating Diversity- A TRIBUTE TO TWO OUTSTANDING HEROES >> OF MUMBAI JT.COMMISSIONER OF POLICE SHRI HEMANT KARKARE AND SHAHID AZMI WILL >> REFLECT SPIRIT OF MUMBAI WHERE PEOPLE LIVE AND WORK IN BROTHERHOOD DESPITE >> ALL ODDS EVEN PICKING UP THE DEAD.... >> >> Dear Shabnam Hashmi , >> >> I have to request you in consultation with your committee to in >> the course of your programme " Celebrating Diversity " to pay a tribute >> to the young lawyer Shaheed Shahid Azmi who was assassinated by allegedy >> " patriotic " criminal gangs hired bycovert agencies as per the press >> conference of police agencies and to the memory of Jt.Commissioner >> of Police SHAHID Hemant Karkare, whose investigations led to his being >> killed and to the memory of those police officers and men who died in the >> ambush at Cama Hospital along with Shri Hemant Karkare . >> >> Both these individuals represent the tragedy and triumph of Mumbai , the >> struggle against all odds , even martyrdom ,to serve humanity to protect the >> unity and integrity of India , which is not an abstract idea but a >> civilization where cultures have co-existed for centuries , now attempted >> to be unsuccessfully drowned in hate as witnessed by the defiance in Mumbai >> in respect of the screening of " MY NAME IS KHAN " ;of course this hate is >> sold by satanic forces with thirty pieces of silver, to sell a whole >> society .
