He will tell you the story behind your saree print Till Sunday, 11 am to 8 pm Where Kamla Raheja Vidhyanidhi Institute of Architecture, near Kaifi Azmi Park, Vidhyanidhi Marg, JVPD Scheme. We know you read about the exhibitions organised by the Paramparik Karigar in our pages all the time. But they simply keep coming back with one gorgeous exhib after another, leaving us with little choice but to recommend them. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/jan/paramparik.jpg" border="5" /> This time around, the association of crafts people is getting together over 50 super craftsmen from all over the country, to display their textile marvels. Lajwanti Chhabra has come to the city all the way from Punjab to display her Phulkari works while Zahid Ali will display his Kashmiri shawls. Patola, Kantha, Ikkat, handblock (see pic), tie and dye -- you will find all these designs and much more under one roof. The best part about this exhibition is that since the craftsmen are directly selling their wares, you can talk them into revealing what went behind the making of the object of your desire. This way, you get to take home a saree and lots of anecdotes. 1950s hindi cinema, now on stage On Sunday, 6.30 pm Where Tata Theatre, NCPA, Nariman Point. Call 22824567 Tickets Rs 200 to Rs 500 Sometimes, predictable can be fun. Especially when it comes laced with a tinge of nostalgia. The Hindi musical Bollywood Ka Salaam... 1950s Ke Naam will take you to the time of black-and-white cinema with a plot that will seem like you've been there, seen that, family feud, virginal love et al. Director and playwright Nadira Babbar dishes out a scramble of famous films and filmi dialogues into a production that has a dozen songs, dances, melodrama and the sincerity that rang true in the cinema of that decade. Nostalgia seekers, head here. Will you find that jhini si awaaz? On Today, 7 pm to 9 pm Where The HUB, Candelar Building, 26, St John Baptist Road, Bandra (W). Call 32220475 to register Cost Rs 150 "Someone is listening! A guru, a wise one!" sang Kabir, 600 years ago. Since then, thousands have been listening to and finding meaning in the words of the 15th century mystic poet. Koi Sunta Hain, a film that will be screened today, interweaves his folk music traditions with the life and music of the late classical singer Kumar Gandharva. The film searches for that elusive sound, that 'jhini si awaaz'. The film journeys between Folk and Classical, oral and written expressions of this North Indian poet. Cheer for the champions On Sunday So you aren't the sorts to wake up, slip into your jogging shoes and sweat it out way before the rest of the city has stirred. We totally understand. But if you, like us, can scream the loudest and cheer the wildest, make this Sunday an exception. The guys running at the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon 2011 need some motivation to keep them going, so how about you and your vocal chords get to the CST station around 9 am? The Dream Run, which is nothing short of a mela-on-the-move, what with the bizarre characters that land up, will kick off at 9.10 am from opposite the CST Station. The Half Marathon will be flagged off at 6.15 am from Bandra Reclamation, while the superstars who run the full marathon and compete for the prize money will go running at 7.40 am from the CST junction. Thousands of survivors, those hoping to raise funds for charitable causes and those battling physical or mental disabilities will be present. So show up to egg them on. Take cover under the tokyo umbrella Till January 31 Where Zenzi, Waterfield Road, Bandra (W). Call 66430670 Filmmaker Vasant Nath has a bizarre muse. When he spent the summer and winter of 2007 in Tokyo, he realised that the city was slowly turning into a fascinating land that provided him with little choice but to capture it on lens. The result? An ongoing exhibition of photographs he shot under the name of Tokyo: Umbrellas, Light and Concrete. "The colour photos were shot using a Sony H-1 digital camera and the others on black-and-white film using a vintage 1964 Pentax Spotmatic. A large aperture was used to capture the city's spectacularly illuminated streets late at night and in the early hours of morning," says Vasant. A limited number of signed prints of the photos on display are up for sale.
