SUMMARY:Celebrating Nisar in Word and Song
DESCRIPTION:Over five decades of prodigious poetic output\, the late Padma Shri KS Nisar Ahmed (1936-2020)\, one of Karnataka’s most beloved contemporary poets\, captured both the minutiae of daily life and the spirit of the age in verses that are as provocative as they are deeply lyrical. Steeped in both Romantic and Modernist traditions\, his work blends intellectual rigour with heartfelt emotion\, remaining strikingly relevant across generations. Every Day a Celebration gathers some of the Nityotsava Kavi’s finest poems\, and introduces his voice to a wider audience and a new generation through Roopa Pai’s sensitive translation. \nMany of Nisar’s poems were set to music\, which made them even more familiar and dear to Kannada audiences at home and abroad. \nBelieving that the best way to celebrate and honour Nisar’s legacy is to have the audience experience his work through both word and song\, this event incorporates both in equal measure. The conversation between Roopa Pai and Aleemulla Khan will be interspersed with performances of the songs\, and conclude with interaction with the audience. \nVenue: Auditorium\n\n\nThe Poet and His Enduring Legacy\nRSVP here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScyuAjyycY2-KtYVa0tr_EBZW3F5yRyEc5BHmfXCflADFDiQQ/viewform?usp=publish-editor)\n*Speakers & Performers*: Roopa Pai\, Aleemulla Khan\, Mangala Karthik\, Jyothsna Hebbar\, Sumana Chandrashekar\, Vinay Nagarajan\n*Event Categories*: Culture\, Literature\, Poetry
