Alka Bhrushundi’s ‘Athaha’ does not merely contemplate infinity; it constructs it.

In her works, blue is not a backdrop to devotion but a spatial field in which matter, energy, and consciousness appear suspended. The paintings move between vortex and void, between cellular intricacy and cosmic scale. Spirals open like primordial galaxies. Orb-like forms hover as if embryonic worlds. Vein-like calligraphic tracings pulse across surfaces, suggesting neural networks, river deltas, or unseen cosmological diagrams. The language is abstract, yet unmistakably organic.

The artist’s earlier engagement with devotional figuration has not disappeared; it has evolved. What once required an image now unfolds as vibration. The divine is no longer personified but diffused, circulating through colour, texture, and atmosphere. Blue dominates, but it is not singular. It deepens into indigo, fractures with rusted orange, glows with quiet gold. It carries both immersion and combustion.

There is a compelling tension in these works: density and lightness coexist. Feathers drift across turbulent grounds. Gold fissures cut through planetary masses. Mist veils intricate structures beneath. The compositions feel simultaneously microcosmic and macrocosmic; as if we are witnessing the inside of a cell and the birth of a universe in the same breath.

‘Athaha’ proposes infinity not as escape, but as interior expansion. These paintings ask the viewer to recalibrate scale, to consider that vastness may reside within the smallest pulse of awareness. In an era of distraction and speed, this work insists on sustained looking. It resists narration and instead offers immersion.

Infinity here is not decorative mysticism. It is a disciplined exploration of energy, stillness, and threshold. Stand before these works long enough, and the boundary between outer cosmos and inner landscape begins to thin.

This show was inaugurated on 3rd March 2026 by Honourable Guests Shri Rajendra Patil (President -The Bombay Art Society, Founder – India Art Festival), Prof. Dr. Ganesh Tartare(Sir, J.J. School of Art, Mumbai), Shri Rishiraj Sethi (CA, CFA; Director – Aura Art eConnect Pvt.Ltd), Prof. Him Chatterjee( Vice chancellor,  J. J.

Renowned artist Parameh Paul is showing his recent work “Sacred India” 17th Solo Show of Paintings at Nehru Centre Art Gallery, AC Gallery, Worli, Mumbai from 13th to 19th January 2026 between 11am to 7pm.

A Luminous Journey through Sacred Sites Paramesh Paul pays an earnest and deeply emotive tribute to the scenic and sacred beauty of places like Varanasi and Pandharpur. In glowing, warm colours — amber, gold, and vermilion — these works are created with utmost care and devotion. A sense of awe is evoked through the dense compositions, while a serene, sublime calm pervades the picture space, immersing the viewer in prayer-like feelings, known and ‘unknown’.

In a work, the sky shines with saturated oranges and golds, while floating diyas and lotus blooms transform the river itself into an altar — majestic, fluid, and sanctified. The ghats of Varanasi at dusk, the sculpted Nandi, the pilgrims and devotees performing rituals, lend the paintings a rich narrative fullness, conveying faith as a lived, luminous presence. Scripted with fine, brooding strokes, these paintings are soothing and richly rewarding on both visual and emotional terms. The lines and forms that construct boats and houses have a quiet charm. Details of rituals — aarti, bathing, prayer, procession — and of temples, pavilions, and arches, are sensitively rendered; they carry a fascinating presence and grace, binding all elements into a shared ceremonial glow. In another piece, the palette shifts to greys, ash-whites, muted blues, and smoky browns. Against this subdued ground, ornate bamboo chhatris punctuate the surface, as if reflecting continuity — ritual, belief, and the ceaseless flow of life along the river. India is a vast land with various traditions of celebration, devotion, worship, and holy places. Works such as these, recalling the “purity” of the sacred riverine sites on painterly terms, are a noteworthy aspiration.

This show was Inaugurated on 13th January 2026 By Honourable Guests

राजेंद्र एकनाथ डाखवे, प्रभाग क्रमांक 2 (अ) शिवसेना (उद्धव बालासाहेब ठाकरे) मीरा–भाईंदर महानगरपालिका चुनाव 2026 समाजसेवा ही मेरा उद्देश्य

प्रिय मतदाता भाइयों-बहनों,

सप्रेम नमस्कार, जय महाराष्ट्र!

मैं राजेंद्र एकनाथ डाखवे, आप सभी के समक्ष अपना मनोगत प्रस्तुत कर रहा हूँ। मेरा जन्म रायगढ़ जिले के रोहा तालुका के एक छोटे से गाँव में हुआ। मेरा बचपन मुंबई के दादर क्षेत्र में बीता, जहाँ मैंने अपनी स्कूली तथा उच्च शिक्षा पूर्ण की।

समाज में व्याप्त गरीबी, दुःख, पीड़ा और विभिन्न समस्याओं को देखकर समाज के लिए कुछ करने की प्रेरणा मुझे मिली। इसी भावना से मैंने लायन्स क्लब के माध्यम से समाजसेवा की शुरुआत की। जरूरतमंद नागरिकों को अनाज वितरण, कंबल, सिलाई मशीन, व्हीलचेयर आदि का वितरण किया गया। मेरे प्रयासों से अब तक 500 से अधिक जरूरतमंद नागरिकों की मोतियाबिंद सर्जरी निःशुल्क करवाई गई है। इस सेवा कार्य के लिए लायन्स क्लब द्वारा मुझे विभिन्न पुरस्कारों से सम्मानित भी किया गया।

कोरोना महामारी के अत्यंत कठिन समय में मुझे जनसेवा का वास्तविक अर्थ समझने का अवसर मिला। उस संकट की घड़ी में मैंने अपनी क्षमता के अनुसार जरूरतमंद परिवारों तक अनाज, दवाइयाँ और आवश्यक सामग्री पहुँचाने का प्रयास किया। बीमार नागरिकों को अस्पताल तक पहुँचाने की व्यवस्था की तथा प्रशासन से समन्वय स्थापित कर उन्हें समय पर सहायता दिलाने का कार्य किया। इस कठिन दौर में मैंने यह अनुभव किया कि जनप्रतिनिधि होने का सच्चा अर्थ संकट के समय जनता के साथ खड़े रहना है। इसी भावना के साथ मैंने निरंतर जनहितकारी कार्यों के माध्यम से नागरिकों की सेवा करने का प्रयास किया, जिससे जनता का विश्वास और सहयोग मुझे प्राप्त हुआ।

हिंदुत्व सम्राट स्व. बालासाहेब ठाकरे के राष्ट्रवादी विचारों से प्रेरित होकर तथा शिवसेना (उद्धव बालासाहेब ठाकरे) के पार्टी प्रमुख मा. उद्धव साहेब ठाकरे के नेतृत्व में, शिवसेना सांसद मा. राजन विचारे, उपनेता श्री विनोदजी घोसालकर एवं जिला प्रमुख श्री प्रभाकरजी म्हात्रे के मार्गदर्शन में मुझे शिवसेना में कार्य करने का अवसर प्राप्त हुआ।

मेरी कार्यशैली और जनता से सीधे संपर्क को ध्यान में रखते हुए वर्ष 2010 में मुझे विभाग प्रमुख पद की जिम्मेदारी सौंपी गई। इस जिम्मेदारी को ईमानदारी से निभाने के फलस्वरूप वर्ष 2017 में मुझे उपशहर प्रमुख पद पर नियुक्त किया गया।

इस अवधि में अनेक सामाजिक और जनहितकारी कार्य किए गए। क्षेत्र के स्कूलों के विद्यार्थियों को शैक्षणिक सामग्री एवं कपड़ों का वितरण, मेधावी विद्यार्थियों का सम्मान, एस.एस.सी. उत्तीर्ण विद्यार्थियों का गौरव, 9 महाराष्ट्र दिवस के अवसर पर श्रमिकों का सम्मान, सांस्कृतिक कार्यक्रम, रंगोली प्रतियोगिता, पाककला प्रतियोगिता तथा महिलाओं के लिए हल्दी-कुमकुम जैसे विविध उपक्रम आयोजित किए गए।

इन सभी कार्यों के माध्यम से नागरिकों का विश्वास प्राप्त हुआ है और शिवसेना के विचारों को जन-जन तक पहुँचाने का कार्य निरंतर किया गया है। जितना संभव हो सके, तन-मन-धन से समाजसेवा करने का मेरा ईमानदार प्रयास लगातार जारी है।

शिवसेना की सीख के अनुसार कम से कम 80 प्रतिशत समाजकार्य करने का मेरा संकल्प है। भविष्य में भी जनता के आशीर्वाद से मेरे हाथों अधिक से अधिक जनहित के कार्य संपन्न हों, यही माँ भवानी के चरणों में प्रार्थना है।

आपका सेवक

इसी पृष्ठभूमि में प्रभाग क्रमांक 2 (अ, ब, क और ड) से शिवसेना (उद्धव बालासाहेब ठाकरे) के अधिकृत उम्मीदवार चुनाव मैदान में उतरे हैं। पार्टी ने ऐसे उम्मीदवारों को मौका दिया है जो सामाजिक कार्यों में सक्रिय रहे हैं और क्षेत्र की समस्याओं से भली-भांति परिचित हैं। शिवसेना (उद्धव बालासाहेब ठाकरे) का अधिकृत चुनाव चिन्ह ‘मशाल’ है।

نوجوان آوازیں، ادبی حکمت و روحانی شب

ممبئی، ۷ اکتوبر ۲۰۲۵:

مہاراشٹر اردو ساہتیہ اکیڈمی کی پچاس سالہ خدمات کے جشن “بہار اردو” کے دوسرے دن نے ڈوم ایس وی پی اسٹیڈیم ورلی کو اردو کی فصاحت، فکر اور جذبات سے روشناس کروایا۔

بہار اردو کے دوسرے دن کا آغاز ایک اوپن مائیک مشاعرہ سے ہوا جس میں نوجوان شعراء نے اپنے کلام سے سامعین کو محظوظ کیا۔ ان میں قائم شاہ، احد سعید، پائل پانڈے، زین لکھیم پوری، ریاض عاصی، شوکت علی، عدنان شیخ، میانک ورما، عمران عطائی اور مقصود آفاق نے اپنے خوبصورت کلام پیش کیے۔

بعد ازاں “مہاراشٹر میں اردو ادب” کے عنوان سے ایک مذاکرے کا انعقاد ہوا جس میں ماڈریٹر کے فرائض ڈاکٹر تبسم خان نے انجام دیے۔ اس مذاکرے میں ڈاکٹر شیخ احرار احمد (تھانے)، ڈاکٹر قاضی نوید صدیقی (اورنگ آباد)، ڈاکٹر عبداللہ امتیاز احمد (ممبئی) اور پروفیسر شاہد نوخیز نے اپنے مقالے پیش کیے۔

اس کے بعد “جدید ٹیکنالوجی اور اردو” کے عنوان سے ایک علمی محفل کا انعقاد ہوا جسے محمد عرفان رضا نے ماڈریٹ کیا۔ اس نشست میں ڈاکٹر محمد تابش خان (بھیونڈی)، ڈاکٹر لِیاقت علی (دہلی)، ڈاکٹر پرویز احمد، اور ڈاکٹر محمود مرزا نے جدید ٹیکنالوجی کے دور میں اردو کو میسر مواقع پر امید افزا گفتگو کی۔

شام کے اوقات میں تمثیلی مشاعرے کے عنوان سے ایک خوبصورت محفل منعقد ہوئی۔ اس نشست میں زاہد علی سید، منظُور الاسلام ساجد اے حمید، رضیہ بیگ، نعمان خان، نزہت پروین عقیل کاغذی، طلحہ ہاشمی، محسن حسنین شیخ اور خان شاداب محمد نے مرزا غالب، طاہر فراز، انجم رہبر اور عبید اعظم عظمی اور پروین شاکر جیسے مشہور شعراء کی تمثیل کی اور محفل کو چار چاند لگا دیے۔

تمثیلی مشاعرے کے بعد “داستان گوئی” کی محفل میں فوزیہ داستان گو نے سماں باندھ دیا تو اس کے فوری بعد ایک دل نشیں محفل میں صوفی گلوکارہ جہلم سنگھ نے اپنے نغمات پیش کیے جس پر بالخصوص نوجوان سامعین نے دل کھول کر داد دی۔

شام کے ہی ایک اہم سیشن میں اردو زبان و ادب کی خدمت کرنے والوں کو خراجِ تحسین پیش کیا گیا اور ان کے درمیان مختلف زمروں میں ایوارڈ تقسیم کیے گئے۔ اس میں نوجوان قلمکاروں کی حوصلہ افزائی کی گئی۔ اردو اخبارات و رسائل کے بہترین لے آؤٹ ڈیزائنرس کی صلاحیتوں کا اعتراف کیا۔ اسکول اور کالج و یونیورسٹی سطح پر اساتذہ کی تدریسی خدمات کا اعتراف کیا گیا۔ اس کے ساتھ ہی مختلف زمروں میں لکھی گئی بہترین کتابوں کے لیے انعامات تقسیم کیے گئے۔  آخر میں صوفی برادرس کی جانب سے محفل قوالی کے ساتھ “بہار اردو” کے اس خوبصورت دن کا اختتام ہوا۔

بہارِ اردو کا دوسرا دن محض ایک پروگرام نہ تھا بلکہ یہ ایک زندہ جشنِ وراثت، فکر و فن کا مظہر تھا۔ جس میں یہ یاد دہانی کروائی گئی کہ اردو صرف تاریخ کی کتابوں کا حصہ نہیں، بلکہ ہر اس آواز کی میراث ہے جو اس زبان کو بولنے، گانے، اور خواب دیکھنے کی جرات رکھتی ہے۔ بہار اردو کی تقاریب میں بڑی تعداد میں لوگوں نے شرکت کی جس میں قابل ذکر تعداد نوجوان طبقہ کی تھی جو کہ اردو زبان و ادب کی میراث کو زندہ رکھنے کیلئے ایک امید افزاء صورت حال پیش کرتی ہے۔
