A studentsu2019 tribute to A home for opera o Mehlli All this while, if you ever wanted to catch the screening of a western opera in Mumbai, the NCPA at Nariman Point was your best bet.
The first one to be screened will be Carmen, an epic love story by French composer Georges Bizet. It deals with the story of a rebellious gypsy who is willing to go to any length for love.
They first said a few lines about their choice of track before singing it, and then a community table decided the winners. The idea was to spread peace, love, harmony, joy and kindness at a time when it seems to be sorely missing from the country.u201d Great move, we feel.

But not anymore. The iconic place has downed shutters. u201c How sad!u201d food historian Kurush Dalal exclaimed when this diarist broke the news to him. u201c It belongs to a period of increasing urbanisation in Mumbai, to a time when the city was growing in a very specific manner. And since it was run by a Brahmin Joshi family, the food was kosher for all vegetarians. So people from all walks of life came to eat there,u201d Dalal added. Kalbadevi has lost its culinary gem.
There seems to be no love lost between Vir Das and Vivek Agnihotri.
The former is a stand- up comedian known for espousing liberal views. The latter is a filmmaker who makes no bones about his right- wing leanings. The clash of personalities was evident on social media recently. Agnihotri posted a tweet in which he said that English comedians in India lack humour and should take a leaf out of the books of their Hindi and regional counterparts.
To this, Das replied, u201c I agree, sir.
So savage. Also, your tweet is in English.u201d Not one to take the sarcasm lying down, Agnihotri wrote, u201c That wasnu2019t a tweet. I was testing a new insect killer spray.
How did I know that you will be the first unfunny comedian to pop up? Mission accomplished.u201d And Das retorted, u201c Sir, please donu2019t be upset at me. Iu2019m a fan. I apologise.
