August 29, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Kuala Lumpur, Aug 29 (ANI): Award-winning Indian actress Shobana Chandrakumar is all set to showcase her performing talents in Malaysia in the musical Maya Ravan, to be staged at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre today.

Hailed as one of the most beautiful actresses of India, Shobana combines her three loves-cinema, Bharata Natyam and theatre-in this production.

The actress won the hearts of Malaysian fans after she played the love interest of superstar Rajinikanth in the blockbuster movie ‘Thalapathi’.

An accomplished Bharata Natyam dancer, Shobana is the grand-daughter of late classical dancer/actress Padmini.

And now fans of the brilliant actress will marvel at her talents in conceiving, interpreting, and choreographing the unique Maya Ravan production.

Shobana, who plays Ravana in Maya Ravan, and the students from her dance school, Kalarpana, have scored major successes having staged more than 50 shows in a two-and-half years’ worldwide tour.

She said that her main objective in producing Maya Ravan was to widen the appeal for the Ramayana epic among world audiences.

“To achieve this, the musical score is made up of a fusion of world music and Indian film music,” the New Strait Times quoted her as saying.

“The narration is in English rendered by Indian film artistes, namely Naseeruddin Shah, Jackie Shroff, Milind Soman, Suhasini Maniratnam, Revathy, Rohini, Tabu, Sameer Sony and Mohanlal,” she added.

The Maya Ravan musical, presented in Malaysia by Nishchal Creations, starts today at the KLCC Plenary Hall.

Proceeds of the show will be donated to the Malaysian Association for the Blind. (ANI)

Regional party candidate visits agriculture fields to woo farmers

April 18, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Lucknow, Apr 18 (ANI): Jaipal Pathik, a member of Rashtravadi (Nationalist) Communist Party (RCP) has found a unique way to campaign in his constituency, Mohanlal Ganj in Uttar Pradesh.

Considering that the farmers and their families are busy in fields and nobody is present at their homes in the villages, Pathik makes a round of the agricultural fields to interact with the farmers and solicit their votes.

Pathik says that he has realized that talking to the farmers while they are engaged in harvesting or tilling the lands is the best option for campaigning in his constituency. It also shows how each and every vote is counted and respected by the political party.

“Most of people are engaged in agriculture, people are busy in fields. So we are going to fields to meet people. When they are in need they come to us. But now we want votes, so we are going to them in fields.”

“In this way their work is also not hampered and we are also able to speak to them and able to convince them at their fields by explaining to them our viewpoints,” noted Jaipal Pathik.

With the election fever in India touching the high pitch, leaders of various political parties are adopting all possible means to woo the voters.

The elections for the 80 Lok Sabha seats of Uttar Pradesh are being held in five phases between April 16 and May 13.

The first phase of the polls was conducted on April 16.

The outcome of the elections will be declared on May 16. (ANI)
