@shashitharoor- thanks again for the foreword for the book
#Hyderabad Kadari Art Gallery presented the premiere of Deepa Nath Surat's exhibition, The Intersection of Art, Ceramics, & Spirituality, in association with Manpreeth Singh Nishter. Dr. Shashi Tharoor, an esteemed Member of Parliament and writer, graced the event.
Inaugurated an exhibition of ceramic paintings by artist @deepanath40 before leaving Hyderabad. Joined her & Kadari Art Gallery’s Supraja in a stimulating discussion on the meaning of art, my own creative life, & the need to support artists in these challenging times.
My @incIndia colleague @Pallamrajumm, who first introduced me to the artist, was also present. Deepa worked in collaboration with ceramic artist ManpreetNishter, whose eye colour matched his turban!
‘The Elephant Whisperers’ themselves, Bommon and Bellie are the real stars of the show. It is only through their constant support, and willingness to share a piece of their life with the world, that this film won this highest honour.
The wonderful poet @MadhuRaghavendra, whom I’ve tweeted about before, caught up with me at @mbifl2023. He presented me his latest book, which contains this striking poem:
This happened in 1957 when @ShashiTharoor was not even born! These two students -- one is Kochi boy Padmanabha Gopinath -- who went for a contest in the UK, after winning, in the post award interview lambasted the interviewer. What a wonderful way to defend India.
When you evolve to a higher state of being you can never regress to a lower state. Evolution is like crossing a bridge which disappears behind you as you move forward.
