IN BETWEEN THE LINES Poetry and Art Show in Metaverse - Review by Reeti Mishra


The art gallery covers a vast plethora of emotions in women during their most vulnerable moments in life but also depicting their resilience and strength. With lines like ’I know I will burn till the fire burns in me’ to ‘I fear remaining an outline’, a woman’s path though is strewn with monotony, anonymity and most often being almost a non existent entity, these poems are an amazingly brilliant saga of how she carves out her own niche.

From the women as Shakti of the poet Mandira Ghosh and the power that comes from truth, bliss, and consciousness, Anna Yin’s poem speaks volumes about bonding with nature, missing someone loved and the entwining of all three. In Vedas, women are symbols of Prakriti, mother nature. Nature becomes part of us and we derive strength from nature.
Alka Tyagi’s poem leads us to the various phases of awakening, of truth around us!
If Zohra Zoberi’s poem is about empowered moments in an immigrant woman’s life, Sangeeta’s poem clearly states in a subtle manner the power of saying NO to others whereas undeniably stating that the real happiness lies in giving happiness to others.

It was indeed delightful and touching to read, as the poets have woven their poems delicately with words of wisdom and expressions so vivid and diverse; yet so powerful!

My best wishes to Meena Chopra and all the poets!

SASS | A Spontaneous Art Show Surprise!

www.insurancerate.com
StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-
A smorgasbord of unique artists, illustrators, designers and craftsmen getting together to show the goods. This event was conceptualized, developed and hopes to present all within 14 days.

A balls to the wall approach of starting the new year with new faces and new talents. There will be booze, there will be art, some will have charcoal between their nails and some will be on their phones the entire time. Some have professional training and an OSAP bill to show it, some have no training but a credit card bill to show it.
Everyone has the love of the craft and now a new platform to present their works to a real audience.

The point is clear, It’s an art show, It’s neat and it has potential to become a stage for Toronto/GTA artists. After the shmoozing and a few drinks in we will have a DJ and dancing!

The Rustic Owl is a brand new cafe and art space, this event will be the first official event of the year.
It's located on 996 Bloor St. W, right between Dufferin and Ossington Station.

Cuss words in Shayari and Ghazals


Gulzar will definitely strike the right chord with his great ghazals and shayari compositions but Sampooran Singh Kalra might not be a familiar name in poetry world.


StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Sep 27, 2011 - This veteran lyricist, poet and director and the man who penned the Oscar winning track Jai Ho, was in Ahmedabad to recite his shayaris to Urdu poetry lovers. Hours prior to the shayari session, Gulzar got chatty and was at his wittiest best when Ahmedabad Times caught up with him. We asked him how he liked Ahmedabad. Gulzar flashed a warm smile and said, "This is not my first visit here. I've come to Ahmedabad several times and am well-versed with the city. I've even written poems about this city." Interestingly, Gulzar is also busy, "translating two Gujarati poetry books."
