Sanspareils Greenlands (SG Cricket) donates shoes to 800 children across states

Mumbai 12th April 2019: April 12th is International Day for Street Children: a special day recognising the strength and resilience of millions of street children around the world. Celebrated globally since 2012, it is an opportunity to recognise their humanity, dignity and rights in the face of unimaginable hardships. We want to rally governments and individuals worldwide to work together to ensure their rights are protected no matter who they are and where they live. Join us in our quest to recognize the potential in every street child.

To mark the International day for Street Children on 12th April, Save the Children and partners kicked off month long celebrations across 10 Cities today. A special screening of ‘Gully Boy’ was held in collaboration with PVR Cinemas at PVR, Oberoi Mall, Goregaon for street connected children from various parts of Mumbai. Along with this  special screening of ‘Gully Boy’ also held for 800 street connected children across Delhi, Kolkata and Lucknow to mark the occasion.

Zoya Akhtar, prominent filmmaker and screenwriter and director of Gully Boy expressed her happiness over the special screening of the movie for street connected children and said, “As a storyteller, it is gratifying to see how one story on the screen can tell the story of hundreds and thousands of voices waiting to be heard. There may be many more Murad’s and Safeena’s out there, each with a different dream and a different aspiration. I do hope that these street connected children watching the film can find their voice and raise it too.” #TheInvisibles, #IAmSomebody.

The celebrations will also include distribution of nearly 1000 pairs of shoes across all states to street connected children we are working with, donated by Sanspareils Greenlands (SG cricket) – India’s largest and most trusted cricket gear manufacturer. They have also provided complete cricket kits to Team India North who will represent India at the first ever Street Child Cricket World Cup (SCCWC 2019) to be played ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup at Lords, England in May.

As celebrations continue, in Kanpur, a district level cricket match is being held between children in street situation in collaboration with the South Club Cricket Academy on 12th April. The day will also be marked by activities with children in street situation at 30 hotspots in Mumbai, Pune and Nashik, which will include drawings, group discussions, poems and quotes that focus on their basic rights. A conversation on rights of street children between representatives from DCPCR and child advocates, former-street connected children will take place in Delhi.

#TheInvisibles initiative is garnering a lot of support from influencers and opinion leaders and corporates.

Dia Mirza, Artist Ambassador, Save the Children added, “You can make their dream a reality. Join me in supporting this incredible journey that takes our children from the streets to Lord’s.  Your contribution can help Team India reach London. You can make it happen! Come on India let’s stand for #TheInvisibles.

Notable film director, producer and screenwriter, Subhash Ghai said in a statement, “It is very painful to know that 20 lakh children live on the streets of India. They are denied basic rights and entitlements like food and shelter. I congratulate Save the Children and Salaam Balak Trust for their initiative. They are celebrating 12th April as the International Street Children Day. We must all get together and ensure basic rights for children on the streets. Because we must make the invisible children visible. We must ensure that they have an identity, the power to speak up and a future. It is our duty.”

In another significant support PTC India Financial Services Ltd have come on board as a Team Sponsor (Team India North) for team of street connected children’s participation at the first ever Street Child Cricket World Cup that will take place at Lord’s along with creating national and international visibility of Children in Street Situation.

We are humbled in doing our bit through this collaboration. We hope children have fun and are inspired to pursue their dreams and aspirations.”

Nearly 2 million children live on India’s streets with their chances of surviving, learning and thriving extremely bleak, thereby making them the most vulnerable section of society; 79{61307dbfb632870ba326f6322853bd3ffea5b163e9c789324eea2723926c15c1} percent don’t even have an identification document. Save the Children, through one of its largest interventions initiated in April 2018– Making #TheInvisibles Visible aims to create an enabling environment for all children living in street situations in India, thereby strengthening their access to right to survival, development, participation and protection, eventually unlocking their limitless potential.

MTV Unplugged is a mix of coming up with a new intersecting organic version of a song and yet keeping the soul and energy of the original version – Kalyan Baruah

Hails from the land of tea, Assam, Kalyan Baruah is one of the leading guitar player and producer of our Indian music industry. Kalyan Baruah, who has been associated with MTV Unplugged for eight long years reveals, “It is important to retain the originality of the song with the limited acoustic instruments available to you. It’s a mix of coming up with a new intersecting unplugged version and yet keeping the soul and energy of the original song.

Talking about his music journey, Kalyan Baruah says, “I was always inclined towards music, arts and culture as all my family members are into Film and theatre in Assam. I am blessed to have that inclination too… music is something I’m passionate about….” I did complete my studies in Anthropology and studied to get a job in Administrative Service, as being from a middle class assamese family , that’s what the society expected you to do…but soon realized that ..this is not something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. So after a few brief encounter with corporate jobs, I quit and dived full time into music.

 

Sharing about his Bollywood innings, he tells, “When I was in Assam , I started with my own rock bands and also got involved with the budding recording industry of North East…I was one of the pioneering Musicians in Guwahati who actually thought for the first time , that we could live off Music as a career, specially being a studio recording artist…

After 10 years or so, I moved to Mumbai as , naturally , I was looking to expand my musical horizon .I knew few friends like Salim , Toufique in Mumbai. They helped and guided me a lot in my initial days.. Those days of early 90’s, I wasn’t doing  mainstream Bollywood as I was very busy doing advertisement/ albums and live gigs in various clubs in Mumbai…This is the time I worked with albums of KK, Lucky Ali, Silk Route and so many others..

Moving to mainstream Bollywood was a natural progression as everyone from the non film recording industry was looking for a bigger canvas for their music and was slowly being absorbed  into the Film Music genre and contributed their innovative and non traditional musical brilliance to the music of the film industry.

As a producer , I guess I came out of the box in a movie called Kaho Na …where lucky asked me to produce his two songs in the film. Over the last 25 years or so, in the recording industry , I have worked with everyone in the field..like Salim Suleiman, Vishal Shekhar, Mithoon, Pritam, Sachin Jigar, Jeet, Vishal Bhardwaj, to everyone..and every known singers of the country.

And talking of MTV unplugged, this is my eighth season .I have been part of MTV unplugged from the first day, first shoot till today…Its amazing to be with a bunch of talented musicians, singers and to play live with them. These days, it’s a rare opportunity to interact with another musician like that..MTV Unplugged, Coke studio has given the musicians a chance to experience that without thinking of the commercial aspects of it. In these eighth seasons of the MTV Unplugged I have produced..Papon, KK ,Farhan Akhtar, Ayushman Khurana, Ami Mishra, Amit Mishra, Neeti Mohan, Jonita Gandhi, Sidharth Mahadevan, Sachin Jigar, Shahid Mallya, Badshah, Arjun kanaut to name a few…

POPULAR QUEEN OF UNIVERSE 2019 – POONAM BAJPAI

Exclusive Interview by Akhlesh Singh Journalist

Q1:How does it feel to receive the POPULAR QUEEN OF UNIVERSE 2019 title? Has the feeling sunk in yet?

Ans:-   To win the title of popular Queen of Universe 2019 makes me feel really proud and its like a dream come true to me, I don’t think there could be anything better than that. Also its very hard to believe in it, because at times I got back to the time where I was just in college and use to attend regular lectures and now I am here, it’s a complete new experience altogether. I really look forward to what happens next, and yeah the feeling hasn’t sunk yet, but soon will.

Q2 How did your friends and family react to your victory?

Ans:-  Coming from a small town,it was really an honour to be crowned “Popular Queen Of Universe 2019” and “Mrs India Pride Of Nation 2017” . My mother who has always stood by my side like a pillar and been there through all the thick and the thin of my life also a handful of my friends were really very happy rather than i was, they were even very much proud of me. The kind of love and support they had given me through this entire journey.

Q3:- Tell us about your journey from Allahabad to Mumbai in brief?   

Ans3 :-  It wasn’t easy coming from a small town and then adapting to the professional modern work culture but it definitely was a tough phase for me and it did bog me down at one point of time. I don’t regret what I’ve been through. I’ve had ups and downs, super highs and some really lows. I’ve been so blessed that I could never say. I wish this didn’t happen. It’s part of who I am. There’s nothing in my life that’s so faugh. I am fundamentally an optimist..

Q4:- Did you always want to be a beauty queen? If not then what plans did u have in mind?

Ans4:- I wouldn’t say I always wanted to become a beauty queen. It was definitely my dream to participate in all beauty contest and obviously win them all, In college rather i would say as a child I always understood one’s psychology and that’s where I always felt I belonged. And if not a beauty queen I would focus on becoming a Motivational trainer for today’s youth. Hence I even have achieved a PhD in Psychology.

Q5:-  I have learnt that you have trained many models and students that have reached a high peak in their lives, tell me something about that?

Ans 5:-  Yes, that’s true I have had many models and students who come to my institute that goes by the name Versatile Skills Development Pvt. Ltd. I always believe that sharing is caring and I love to share the skills and knowledge that I have acquired over the years through my experiences in this industry. And also as I have mentioned in one of the answers that if I had a plan B that I would become a Motivational trainer and that’s how I am fulfilling my dream by training youngsters and helping them to achieve success.

Q6 :- Any message to all the aspiring ladies who dream of winning such contest?

Ans6:-  Just believe in yourself, have faith in your capabilities also know your own limits, and work hard for it. Be a happy perosn inside, because I think that is most important. We should enjoy what we do and that’s what I have been doing so far and maybe that’s why I am here today. If anyone wants to come and experience this or explore themselves, I think they should come without the fear of rejection and give it a best shot, irrespective of what the results are and without having any kind of negative feelings. As I remember my mother always quoted “believe in yourself give it your best and leave the rest on God” she also states “The harder you work for something the greater you will feel when you achieve it”

 

Q7:-  Do you plan to take up more projects like these in the coming future??

Ans7:- I would definitely love to take up more projects like these, I really have to work hard because competition tends to get tuff at every single stage. I cannot leave my positivity, which makes me help to face all the challenges in life, I will for sure have to focus on my schedule. But yeah, I am really looking forward to it and I’m just going to give it my best shot.
