| (source image google /www.livemint.com) Om Puri was born in Ambala to a Punjabi family. His father worked in the railways and in the Indian Army. As he had no birth certificate or records, his family was unsure of his date and year of birth, however his mother told him he had been born two days after the Hindu festival Dussehra. When he began his schooling, his uncle chose 9 March 1950 as his "official" birthday, however as an adult when he moved to Bombay, Puri looked up when Dussehra was celebrated in 1950, to establish his date of birth as 18 October |

The Jehangir Nicholson Art Foundation the 12th of January 2017.
 |
The Jehangir Nicholson Art Foundation and the CSMVS are delighted to present Kanu’s Gandhi in collaboration with Nazar Foundation opening on the 12th of
January 2017. The show gives people rare glimpses of Gandhi in
unguarded moments, both in the personal and public space. Taken by his
nephew Kanu who had rare access to Gandhi, these pictures were uncovered
recently and give us a wonderful opportunity to study the Mahatma in
solitude, at public events or during intimate moments he shared with his
wife Kasturba.
The
exhibition is the first of a two-part series on photography that the
JNAF will present in 2017. This theme expands on the tremendous passion
that the collector Jehangir Nicholson had for this medium and the
archive of his work that is in the Foundation’s care.
Do join us on the 12th of January at 6 pm at the Jehangir Nicholson Gallery . Tea will be served at 5.30 pm.

‘’ Love anything as it is, you cannot change love,but love can change you, you cannot change the one you love,
It was
astonishing for me when I came across the book, Love Needed. The impression of
the cover had enough to give eye balls too, it was definitely attractive. I
read the name say, Zaara.A.Khan. I
wasn’t sure but was familiar with the name, flipping through the pages and digging thoroughly gave me a insight to a new
world.
The book Love Needed.
Love Needed is a novel that revolves in and around the
capital city of India, Delhi. The book sounds just being a love story but reading
the novel written by the young artist or author Zaara Alsabih Khan and we must
say, her effort and hardwork is something that tells you much more realistic
side of life.
‘’The
book is not just a complicated love story involving friends, it is about how
parents fulfill their children's need sacrificing their own wishes, how they
are treated with age.Encountering unexpected love,handling profession and
family. What you may "SEE" may necessarily not be what you
"SEE". Making you realise the real importance of time, money and
death.How love melts a stone hearted person.With all the twists and turns in
the life of a common man which leads him to a world beyond his thoughts.....’’
Author Zaara A. khan.
It is not surprising to mention that Zaara khan is a young
inspiration to the new world . She is a medical student pursuing from Babu
Banarasi Das, Lucknow. Apart,she is a certified Nutritionist and a Dietician.
Her seminars attended by the youth are empowering, they are motivational and
have a cause of expressions. In such short span of her journey she has readily
worked in international (USA) based primary healthcare company, Sevamob as a
camp co-ordinator
and Nutritionist. She has given seminars to national and international
organizations and institutions like OXFAM,
KVK and ICAR. Not only this, she sings and draws as well.
Zaara Alsabih Khan, happens to belong to Bhadohi which is
located 45-50
kilometers from Varanasi,Uttar Pradesh India. Her father Iqbal khan is a
businessman. And believe it or not she has travelled hours and hours daily just
to study. She definitely breaks the stereotypical norms of belonging to a town,
representing her city and state that’s what the vision and mission of a
brighter and young India is.
Khan who is motivated by her mother,the doctor to be
believes-
failing
is a part of life if you don’t fail you never learn. She adds, One’s failure is an opportunity to success
itself,but if something torments you mentally, you don’t need to be good at it,just
leave.- zaara a. khan,love needed.
A part of the book
stating about why Love Needed and why just not some other name?.
‘’ Love anything as it
is, you cannot change love,but love can change you, you cannot change the one
you love,for if you do ,you won’t love the new.If it’s given by any of the
intentions above the other always feels good and right.If it builds you,always
be ready to get destroyed. You can’t do without it,you can’t rid it, you will
look for another, yet another, still with the pain, yet another. As intoxicating
it goes, it won’t mind changing you from straight to homo, and if you don’t get
it, you might end up loving yourself.
Hence, it proves that
love has no boundaries,no limits,no time,no caste, no colour, no bar,no
profession,no standards,no place,no age. That’s how one goes blind, deaf, mum, that’s
how strong the power of cupid is and that’s how one pleads ''LOVE ME''. ‘’
WHY?. BECAUSE
''LOVE NEEDED''.
