SOCIETY By Rini Pathak Breaking Barrier And Redefining Inclusivity Conduct Of Para Events: Shaping Of A Better Future By Mithibai Kshitij 19 January 2024 SOCIETY Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Many people in the world speak a lot about inclusivity and diversity whereas there are only a few amongst them who transform their words into actions and define the real meaning of inclusivity. Fortunately, Mithibai Kshitij , situated in the city of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India is a distinctive example of an organization that believes in action rather than ranting about equality. Mithibai Kshitij has been able to emerge as the pioneer in arranging Para Events within its educational framework among other educational institutions. It has been creating and even rewriting history by being the only college festival to host Para Events. This year too has not been any different and the Mithibai Kshitij has perpetuated its tradition by hosting Para Events for the specially-abled children on the 7th of January. The event was dedicated especially to these children to showcase their caliber in front of all. The organization of the event demonstrated nothing but the college’s devotion towards the provision of a platform that embraced equality and inclusivity where everyone regardless of their physical appearance was welcomed to showcase their unique skills. The respective Para Events consisted of four different genres. Each of which were designed with caution allowing the individuals to celebrate their own unique and diverse talents. These four categories included: Rang Manch, Pitch Perfect, Para Talent Show, and Cascade of Colours. The ‘Rang Manch’ was an event of dance competition that was presided over by the famous dance choreographer, Noorin Sha . The event saw various participants mesmerizing everyone including Sha with their enchanting performances. The event, ‘Pitch Perfect’ was an affair of singing competition where the specially-abled participants’ talent of singing was showcased. The event highlighted the melodic voices of the participants and was judged by the celebrated music expert, Arvinder Singh . The ‘Para Talent Show’ was a platform where each participant was able to impress everyone by flaunting diverse skills. This show was presided over by the distinguished actor, Jay Soni . The last but not the least event, ‘Cascade of Colours’ consisted of a painting competition. Isha Kamal , an expert artist, provided a significant assessment of the talented participants who displayed their artistic caliber. The extremely talented judges’ panel brought along with them an abundance of expertise to provide appraisal and examine the spellbounding performances showcased by the young talents throughout the various events. A cherry on the cake was the enchanting enactment by the Magician who was able to mesmerize everyone and infuse a luminous radiance into the day. The Para Events was a huge success which demonstrated Mithibai Kshitij’s devotion towards the creation of a community that believes in equality and inclusivity of all individual students. The college is certain that this is not their last Para Event and promises to continue the milestone in the upcoming future too. The educational institution has even been able to set an inspiring example for other educational institutions to follow in the pursuit of inclusivity and equal opportunities for all, establishing an optimistic and supporting environment where each individual can thrive. Hence, we too must take an oath to follow the steps of Mithibai Kshitij and do our share of work for the creation of an inclusive society.

I Am: Fashion As Voice, Identity, Movement By Anurag Sen I Am: Fashion As Voice, Identity, Movement 11 July 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement When I AM took to the runway at Thailand Fashion Week AW25/26, it didn’t just showcase a collection—it delivered a proclamation. Founded by the bold and visionary Mervina Nyampulu , I AM isn’t simply a label; it’s a movement that fuses style with spirit, silhouette with selfhood, and design with declaration. From its very name, the brand invites dialogue. It’s not a statement of what one wears, but of who one is. Mervina Nyampulu didn’t enter fashion to follow. She came to forge. With East African roots and a globally informed perspective, she channels her experience as a cultural entrepreneur and advocate into garments that feel less like products and more like manifestos. Her background in building ethically driven businesses like Bella Luxury has deeply informed her approach to I AM, which wears its values as visibly as its textiles. Sustainability isn’t a buzzword here—it’s a practice. Every piece is created with ethical sourcing, low-impact materials, and a profound respect for the hands that shape them. Each stitch is mindful. Each silhouette is intentional. On the Thailand Fashion Week runway, I AM arrived with a quiet command. The garments didn’t clamor for attention—they held it. Structured coats, flowing dresses, sharp lines softened by movement—everything felt deeply rooted in balance. The palette was grounded yet bold, moving between neutrals and earth tones with quiet flashes of strength. Models walked not as placeholders, but as presences. They didn’t perform the clothes—they embodied them. There is an undeniable architectural logic to the designs—clean seams, strong shoulders, carefully measured volume—but there’s also something deeply emotional beneath it all. These aren’t just clothes to be seen in. These are clothes for women who know how they want to feel. Women who define themselves on their own terms, who take up space without apology. It’s this interiority—the intention beneath the form—that gives I AM its resonance. Beyond aesthetics, the brand is also a conduit for conversation. On social media, Mervina has opened space for women around the world to answer the simple but profound prompt: “I am…” The responses speak volumes—testaments of identity, resilience, grief, joy, motherhood, ambition. It becomes clear that the garments are only one part of the expression. The other part is voice. Shared. Claimed. Reclaimed. I AM isn’t interested in dictating identity—it’s about making room for it. What also sets the label apart is its rejection of fashion’s usual rush. There’s a slowness to I AM—not in relevance, but in intention. No trend-chasing. No hollow virality. Just thoughtful design rooted in purpose. The brand is expanding organically, appearing in curated showcases rather than saturating markets, growing its presence through authenticity and word of mouth. The label’s social media—still emerging—is raw, real, and refreshingly unfiltered. It shows fittings, process, imperfections. It lets you in. And in an industry obsessed with polish, that kind of honesty stands out. At Thailand Fashion Week, this clarity of vision translated seamlessly to the stage. The audience wasn’t simply watching a show—they were encountering a philosophy. There was something grounding about the way the models moved, the way the fabric flowed, the way every look felt like a chapter in a single story. I AM didn’t just present a new collection—it reminded us what fashion can be when stripped of noise: a tool for self-definition. A mirror for cultural pride. A frame for empowerment. Mervina Nyampulu doesn’t design for the moment. She designs for meaning. Her clothes aren’t driven by seasonal urgency—they’re guided by timeless values. Her collections aren’t a sprint—they’re a slow, steady shaping of a visual language rooted in authenticity, ethics, and narrative. In every piece, you feel not only the eye of the designer, but the heart behind the brand. I AM is not for everyone. It doesn’t try to be. It is for the woman who dresses with intention. Who sees her wardrobe not as armor or performance, but as truth. Who doesn’t need to be louder to be heard—only clearer. In a world full of echoes, I AM speaks in its own voice. It speaks in fabric, in movement, in meaning. And most of all, it speaks in solidarity with every woman who wears it—not to impress, but to express. As the last model stepped off the Thailand Fashion Week runway, what lingered wasn’t just the memory of a collection—it was the clarity of a brand that knows exactly what it stands for. I AM is a name. A message. A promise. And above all, it’s a reminder: fashion, at its most powerful, doesn’t just tell you what’s beautiful—it tells you who you are.

The Eternal Strings Of Amaan & Ayaan Ali Bangash By Shriniwas Kodape The Eternal Strings Of Amaan & Ayaan Ali Bangash 4 October 2025 COVER STORIES Advertisement The concert hall is full, yet hushed, as though the audience is holding its collective breath. Two sarods lie across two laps, polished surfaces glowing under the stage lights. Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash sit side by side, their postures mirrored, their eyes meeting for just a fraction of a second. Nothing is said, but everything is understood. Amaan’s fingers strike the first note, bold and deliberate. Ayaan follows, answering with a softer resonance, his strings almost whispering in contrast. In that instant, the music is born not from one instrument, but from two souls in conversation. This is the essence of the Bangash brothers: a dialogue woven in sound, steeped in tradition, but alive with the intimacy of siblinghood. They were born into music. Sons of the legendary Ustad Amjad Ali Khan , the sarod was never a foreign object in their childhood home; it was as common as the dining table, as natural as the morning sun. Their earliest memories are not of playgrounds but of ragas drifting through the air as their father practiced. Where most children are lulled to sleep by lullabies, Amaan and Ayaan were cradled by alaps. Theirs was not simply an education in music; it was an immersion, a way of life. Yet being heirs to such a towering legacy was never easy. “Growing up, people assumed music would be automatic for us,” Amaan recalls. “But the truth is, it demanded discipline, hours of practice, endless corrections, the constant reminder that the sarod isn’t just an instrument, it’s a responsibility.” Ayaan adds more quietly, “It was never enough to imitate. Our father always told us to find our own voice.” And find it they did. On stage, their differences are striking. Amaan’s playing has a force that feels almost impatient; his notes cut through air like a storm breaking. Ayaan, meanwhile, shapes his sound with delicacy, coaxing tenderness from steel strings. Together, the tension between them becomes magic. It is fire and water, provocation and reconciliation, push and pull. At times, they sound like they are arguing; at others, like they are laughing together. The audience is simply invited to witness. But their journey has never been about replication. The Bangash brothers have pushed the sarod into unexpected spaces, collaborating with Western orchestras, jazz ensembles, and global musicians. Their projects blend centuries-old ragas with contemporary arrangements, without ever losing the core of Hindustani classical music. “For us, collaboration is not compromise,” Ayaan explains. “It's a conversation. Every genre has something to say, and we bring our sarods to listen and respond.” Despite their ventures into fusion, the soul of their music remains deeply traditional. They speak of ragas as though they are living beings. “Each raga has its own temperament, its own mood,” Amaan says. “Some demand patience, others erupt quickly. Our job is to reveal them, not control them.” It’s this reverence for the art form that grounds them, even as they innovate. What makes their story human is not just the music, but the bond between them. Offstage, they are brothers in every sense; sometimes clashing, sometimes teasing, always circling back to affection. Their dynamic fuels their art. Amaan admits with a grin, “We argue a lot about tempo, phrasing, everything. But when the performance starts, all that tension turns into energy.” Ayaan nods, “That’s the beauty of playing with family. The disagreements don’t divide you; they deepen the music.” Audiences around the world have felt that depth. Whether in an intimate baithak in Delhi or a grand concert hall in Europe, the Bangash brothers carry the same presence: music that demands surrender. In an era obsessed with speed and spectacle, their performances slow time down. Listeners lean in, pulled into a soundscape where centuries of tradition meet the immediacy of now. And perhaps that is their greatest gift. They are not simply performers; they are bridges between father and future, between East and West, between the sanctity of inheritance and the necessity of reinvention. Their sarods remind us that heritage is not static, but breathing. Each note is proof that memory and modernity can coexist without conflict. The final stroke fades, and silence fills the hall. But it is not an empty silence. It vibrates, alive with resonance, as though the music still lingers, refusing to let go. That is the world of Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash where strings are not just strings, but storytellers, carrying forward a legacy while writing their own.

Mannat Singh, the story of an aspiring actress by Aparajita Jaiswal Mannat Singh, the story of an aspiring actress 28 September 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement Mannat Singh is not just a successful model but also an aspiring actress and found a passion for acting through pure serendipity. A young, goofy, introvert whose life changed when she entered the world of modeling through Miss India, moving out of her shell. "I thought that there's so much more that I could do and I'm not just this shy person. I can go out there in the world and try to have big dreams and I can achieve whatever I want if I put my mind to it," Mannat goes on tell us "I am really glad that I took that scary step of coming to a different city from a town where everything was my comfort alongside my my family. Taking that leap of faith, coming here and working for my dreams every day, I feel like that is commendable and that is the reason that I do this. I want to be an actor and I love what I do. I love where my life is going to go and the direction that I'm on. And that's all that I've got." Mannat Singh expresses how as an actor she wishes to bring the character to life and also be true to the character she is playing. As an actor you're always striving and being fearless enough to take chances. "The whole point acting us to bring the character to life. Everybody has a process which is very different and it's a very subjective thing. It differs from person to person, actor to actor. So I don't think there's a set way of performing this art but I feel it depends on the person and the actor." There are several stages of being an actor in a show or a film. There are certain thrilling aspects and there are certain parts where hard work and focus is key. Mannat comments on the same, "I feel that I embrace and enjoy the whole process. From getting the script and reading the script, understanding the writer's point of view to actually bringing the character to life and adding my own personal touch, the whole process is extremely thrilling to me. When you're auditioning and you're going about the scene and performing in front of people, I feel like there comes a point for me where I'm knee deep into the character that I start improvising. So, when I'm improvising, I am really getting under the skin of the character and it's just coming really naturally to me. That is the point where I know that I can do this. That particular point is very exciting and thrilling for me." "Not having explored many genres yet, I would be really excited to do a thriller or mystery film or show but the most difficult genre to perform, in my opinion, is comedy, because I feel like if you can make the audience laugh and you know it all comes with ease to you, is the most difficult thing to do. If ever got a chance, I'm sure that I'll have to work really hard. As a person, I believe I'm funny and have a good sense of humor but while performing a comedic role, I believe it will be one of the most difficult things to do but I’d still like to explore that." Having asked what present day mega director inspires her and she would like to be directed by, Mannat answers with a slight glow in her eye as she talks about her inspiration, "The filmmaker that inspires me the most and that I would love to work with in the future is Sanjay Leela Bhansali as I have just really liked his work since I was a little child. I've been watching him since Devdas and then I absolutely loved guzaarish and Ram Leela, eventually all the series that he's made, all the great films that he's made till date. I like his process, the way that he makes his characters a certain way, the whole direction process and it's just very thrilling to the eye from an audience's point of view. I would like to be directed by him." Mannat believes that as an actor we must pursue and the amount of effort and work one puts in their art will always prove fruitful. As an actor, with all hardships one faces, one must always keep going and pushing their boundaries without a shadow of doubt. She speaks about her father who is a motivational speaker, she says he always said, "Mannat you will be really glad if you give it your all, if you have tried really hard as you’ll never have regrets. Don't give up. This is my dream and this is what I want to work for. That's stuck with me and that's what I tell myself. Even on days when I'm feeling low, I don't get up and I'm not able to do what I want to but there are days that you have to pick yourself up and remind yourself of the purpose that you have aspired to achieve." The filmmaker that inspires me the most and that I would love to work with in the future is Sanjay Leela Bhansali as I have just really liked his work since I was a little child.

Ramandeep Kaur, Charmingly Dauntless by Aparajita Jaiswal Ramandeep Kaur, Charmingly Dauntless 23 September 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement It is always natural to feel extremely proud of the new self created out of the previous portions of ourselves! One such person with extreme sense of pride stands to be Ramandeep Kaur! Being a part of the Punjabi industry makes you extremely filled with energy in spite of the obstacles. Speaking of which, the gracious actor talks about her journey, mentioning, "I began as a manager in a salon and opportunities were presented naturally, quite willingly by others and situations supported those opportunities and I was fortunate enough to take advantage. It has been a passion of mine, all my life." Talking of obstacles, one doesn’t always get what she/he wants. "I prefer to perceive rejections as challenges, motivating me to do better," the actress says, gracefully. The very thought of making it huge in spite of rejections, hypes one up. In a creative field such as acting, it is a regular roller coaster where every artist goes through rejections and fame. The journey of fame deals with the public eye and staying grounded is very important. Ramandeep comments when asked how she deals with fame, "I stay humble." The very essence of the Punjabi film industry and the anticipation of where it is leading excites the audience. "I feel the Punjabi industry is on the way up, it is getting more worldwide exposure and I am excited to be a part of it," says the actress. Speaking of the industry, the reader often gets mesmerised by what they observe on social media. When asked about the trends that she rejoices in, her confidence peaked as she exclaimed, "I am the trend on social media." Ramandeep Kaur expresses her inspiration to be the humble blockbuster star, Diljit Dosanjh. While getting inspired in all ways, Ramandeep comments on her love for fashion. "I love fashion and I follow all trends to ensure I am always on top of it." Fashion brings in a lot of stereotypes attached to it as interpreted by society, majorly associated with body shaming and fitness. However, being an actress it's perceived differently, "I understand that the world is becoming diverse and is allowing people of all shapes and sizes to share the spotlight. However, I myself attend the gym regularly to maintain my figure." To stay on top, in both, one's professional and personal life, is a big deal. Thus to mark the lines between reel and real life for an actor is even more tough! "I stay in character on set and on only on set, I never take my character home with me. My personal life is a completely separate entity from my work." This actually is difficult to fathom for the readers as the work she engages in all seem so perfectly put, however, that is what would also make a rising beauty, like her, such a great actress! "My work does not affect my personal life as I try to be professional to all extents, taking my personal life seriously and looking after it as closely as I do for my career." As the audience looks forward to her engaging them in more of her films, it is also interesting to have a glance at her perspective. The career of every actor brings her to different roles and it is quite obvious to be biased to one or having regrets in having played a certain character. However, for Ramandeep, there are no regrets in the roles she has enacted. "I am proud of all the characters I have had the opportunity to play." My work does not affect my personal life as I am a professional and take my career very seriously!
