The thrust will be to remove the visual barriers between Jama Masjid and Red Fort. Arch. Pradeep Sachedeva is following the project.
According to the project all shops in the Meena Bazar in Red Fort would be re-located to the north, shops in front of the Dargah–which actually block the visual field between Red Fort and the Jama Masjid, would be remodeled at the same place to single groundlevel shops as against the present two or three storeys.
Finally !!! we’ve done it…

Commonwealth Games Federation chief Mike Fennel is very much worried over the slow progress of Games-related projects, but it hasn’t helped to spur Municipal Corporation of Delhi. They are yet to iniziate a dozen of projects approx. 17 Road under and Over the Bridge.
We are in the Hands of God…
Why do we always make a figure of ourselves in “SPORTS” related activities… are we so much behind the Chinese capacity to organize the world events (example Olympic games) ???
Or is there some other reason !!!

“Bollywood – The Show !” è lo straordinario spettacolo indiano di musica e danza che oltre 500.000 spettatori hanno già avuto modo di conoscere ed applaudire nel mondo. E’ lo show evento che traduce in una dimensione teatrale tutti i coloratissimi e dinamici ingredienti esotici di quel cinema indiano che da qualche anno conquista puntualmente i pubblici occidentali. Il cinema di Bollywood dalla semplice curiosità che destava negli anni ’80 e ’90, è diventato un fenomeno di culto, e tutto ciò che oggi arriva da questa prolifica industria cinematografica è guardato con una attenzione che va molto oltre l’aspetto etnico.
“Bollywood – The Show !” vuole essere un grande affresco di questo mondo, un “omaggio a 100 anni di storia condensati in 100 minuti” per usare le parole di Toby Gough autore, sceneggiatore e regista anglo/indiano dell’opera. L’ omaggio trionfale e fantasmagorico di una grande compagnia di ballerini e attori, di 1000 costumi, di oltre 30.000 luci che sfruttano la tecnologia a led per giochi di luci inediti e ancora più ipnotici e coinvolgenti. Dopo Berlino, Zurigo, Londra, Johannesburg, Sidney, Barcellona, Anversa e Amsterdam (solo per citare alcune delle città dove ha riscosso un enorme successo), nella primavera del 2009, “Bollywood – The Show !” sarà per la prima volta in Italia a Roma al Teatro Olimpico (dal 28 aprile) e a Milano al Teatro degli Arcimboldi (dal 19 maggio).
“Dopo due ore e mezza di passione, ci si ritrova pronti per salire sul palco, si applaude come un derviscio e al ritorno a casa si balla sul tram. È così che deve essere.”
Abendzeitung, Monaco, 26.02.2007
“Grandi sentimenti, molte lacrime e un lieto fine. Lo spettacolo di danza e di costume ricorda una ricetta indiana: speziata, piccante e soprattutto ricca di colori.”
Kurier, Vienna, 24.01.2007
“La loro energia è elettrizzante, i loro movimenti soffusi con slanci di gioia ma allo stesso tempo spietatamente precisi e il flusso frenetico dell’attività sul palco è quasi ininterrotto. È un piacere ad alto contenuto di ottani che riscalda le più fredde notti invernali.”
The Times, Londra, 23.10.2006
PREZZI:
platea bassa € 40,00 + prev.
Platea alta € 35,00 + prev.
I galleria € 30,00 + prev.

http://in.news.yahoo.com/139/20090128/824/tnl-kashmir-band-to-participate-in-an-in.html
The band ‘Valley Youth Xpressions’ funded by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will be competing with musical bands from different countries including Pakistan in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh to give the youth a welcome break from the continuous agitations and strikes in the state.
The main objective of such initiative taken by the CRPF is to promote their musical talent.
“We have taken a decision to support the youth. We support them in many programmes and activities. We give musical instruments and financial assistance to them. CRPF is bearing all the expenses incurred by them during their participation in the International Music Festival. For such kind of activities, we provide financial and moral support,”said D. Pathak, Inspector General of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
The participants said that it was a major step taken by the CRPF to pep uphe strife-ridden lives of the youth.
” Such an event gives us a chance for interaction with people from other groups. This will help us a lot to come over the stress. This is plus point for the group. And we want such programmes to organize outside the state and over here to reduce the stress level,” said Farhan, a musician.
The members of the band believe that their enthusiastic music performancesill inspire the youth in the valley to pursue their talents and keep away from all negative influences. By Pervez Butt (ANI)

The conch and the Sudarshana Chakra are unmistakable. Although the figures do not match popular images of Kirshna sporting a peacock feather, archaeologists are convinced that the coins are of Krishna, revered as an avatar of Vishnu.
“These square coins, dating back to 180- BC, with Krishna on one side and Balram on the other, were unearthed recently in Al Khanoun in Afghanistan and are the earliest proof that Krishna was venerated as a god, and that the worship had spread beyond the Mathura region,” says T K V Rajan, archaeologist and founder-director, Indian Science Monitor, who is holding a five-day exhibition, In search of Lord Krishna,’ in the city from Saturday.
Having done extensive research in Brindavan, Rajan is convinced that a lot of the spiritual history of ancient India lies buried. “Close to 10,000 Greeks, who came in the wake of Alexander the Great, were Krishna’s devotees. There is an inscription by Heliodorus, the Greek ambassador at Takshila , which reads Deva, deva, Vasudeva. Krishna is my god and I have installed this Garuda Pillar at Bes Nagar (now in Bihar),’” says Rajan.
According to him the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has unearthed many sites that throw fresh light on the era of Krishna. “ASI is expected to release the full findings next year. Many of the unearthed artifact have a close resemblance to materials of what is believed to be the Harappan civilisation. The findings may show that Krishna’s life was the dividing line between India’s spiritual history and the society’s gradual shift towards a materialistic one,” says Rajan.
Interestingly, a lot of what has been uncovered closely resemble the narration in the texts of Mahabharatha and the Bhagavatham,” he adds. Both the spiritual works are revered by the Hindus as their holy books.
It has been over five years since the discoveries were made at Tholavira near Dwaraka, close to Kutch. Much progress has been made due to the application of thermoluminous study (TL) in ascertaining the age of artifact. “It is possible to get the diffusion of atomic particles in the clay pottery unearthed and arrive at an accurate date,” points out Rajan. Tholavira itself is believed to be the capital city as detailed in the opening chapters of Bhagavatham. Rajan points to an image of a plough, made of wood, which is mentioned in the Bhagavatham.
The findings could lay a trail to understanding Krishna’s life (said to be 5,000 years ago) and times, as a historical fact, says Rajan. The exhibition will be open till December 31 at Sri Parvathy Gallery, Eldams Road.
