Harish Singh Negi – An Inspiring Journey From Struggles To Success

Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand (Gwans Village): Harish Singh Negi, originally from Gwans village in Rudraprayag district, has today established himself as a successful Head Chef in the hotel industry. Born into a financially weak family, Harish spent his childhood working hard and supporting his family through small labor tasks in the village.

After completing his 12th standard, Harish moved into the hotel industry in search of employment. He began his career by washing utensils in a hotel. However, his dedication, passion for cooking, and continuous learning helped him grow step by step. With time, he mastered culinary skills and eventually achieved the prestigious position of Head Chef.

Harish credits his success to his father, Mr. Shur Singh Negi, a hardworking farmer who supported his family despite financial struggles. His mother, Mrs. Vimla Devi, a homemaker, always motivated him—waking up at 4 AM every day to prepare tea for him during his school days so that he could study with focus and aim high. Harish also acknowledges his sister for guiding him throughout his journey.

Harish initially dreamed of joining the Indian Army, but when his selection didn’t happen, he chose to build his career in the hotel industry. He completed his intermediate education from Government Inter College GhimtolI, Rudraprayag, and is currently working in a reputed hotel in Pune.

He shares—

“Whatever I am today is because of the blessings, guidance, and support of my parents and teachers. Their faith in me has helped me reach this position.”

Today, Harish Singh Negi has carved his own identity through hard work and determination. He has also trained many young boys in hotel management and has become an inspiration for many aspiring chefs.

Apna Amitabh Set To Release In Theatres On 12th December 2025, Showcasing A Powerful Social Drama

MUMBAI — Apna Amitabh is hitting theatres on 12th December 2025. And no, this is not about superstar Amitabh Bachchan himself—but about the much-awaited Hindi social drama film Apna Amitabh, all set for a nationwide theatrical release on the same date.

The classic entertainment social-drama, written and directed by Ajay Anand and creatively produced by Vikas Sharma, explores the deep-rooted struggles of life in Indian villages and small towns. The film highlights the journey of a young boy—son of a sanitation worker—who bravely confronts the challenges thrown at him by his village, neighbours, and local community. Despite constant opposition and pressure, especially from upper-caste individuals, he rises above discrimination and eventually becomes a symbol of inspiration and hope.

Produced by Vikas Sharma, Raghvendra, and co-producer Ramesh Sharma, Apna Amitabh throws light on the pervasive caste system and societal discrimination. The film powerfully portrays how even a child from a marginalized background can grow, evolve, and showcase his talent on equal footing—challenging long-standing norms.

At the heart of the story is Vijay, a young boy and ardent admirer of Amitabh Bachchan. His daily routine—from the way he sits, stands, walks, and even turns—reflects the superstar’s iconic style. Though people often mock him for this resemblance, Vijay turns their teasing into motivation. What unfolds next is a journey only Apna Amitabh can reveal when it releases on the 12th of December.

The film features a powerful ensemble cast including Vijay Rawal, Anjali Mishra, Jay Thakkar, Hemant Mohar, Mukesh Bhatt, Vachan Pachera, Sharad Sonu, Suruchi Verma, Hanuman Gudshaa, Jitendra Singh, Amit Ghosh, Shilpi Kukareti, Vinay Ambast, Jyoti Singh, and Anupam Shyam.

The technical crew includes:

Editor: Chetan V. Tanna

Cinematographer: Shambhu Sharma

Music: Rajesh Jha

Background Score: Bhupesh Sharma

Post Production In-charge: Ahika Mishra

The film’s songs are written by Ajay Anand and sung by Bollywood playback singer Shahid Mallya.

Apna Amitabh promises to be a compelling, emotional, and socially relevant cinematic experience—ready to make a strong impact on audiences when it releases on 12th December 2025.

Timing: 11am to 7pm

This show was inaugurated on 11^th November 2025 by Honourable Guests Mr. Anant Nikam(Veteran print maker, artist and former HOD all department of Sir J.J. School of Arts), Mr. Gourmoni Das(Director & Founder of Nine Fish Gallery and Dot Line Space Foundation), Ms. Ranjitha S – Director & Founder of JMS Mani studio daughter of JMS Mani, Mr. Darshan Kumar YU – Curator(muesmuseologist), artist & Thinker, Sushma Sabnis – Art writer & curator among others.

UTKARSA marks a sincere tribute to the life and creative legacy of J. M. S. Mani (1948–2021), one of Karnataka’s most revered modern artists and a transformative educator. Curated by Darshan Kumar YU, Curator(Muesmuseologist), artist & Thinker, Omit Curator NGMA, Bengaluru, and presented by JMS Mani’s family, this posthumous exhibition draws together key works spanning his iconic Badami series, expressive landscapes, and sensitive charcoal and mixed-media drawings and sketches, offering Mumbai audiences an intimate encounter with an artist who shaped both canvas and community.

His first solo show happened in Jehangir Art Gallery in 70’s.

Rooted in a rigorous academic foundation, Mani’s early practice honed traditional disciplines of light, form and perspective, later blossoming into an intuitive painterly vocabulary that balanced realism, symbolism and emotional intensity. His celebrated Badami series remains central to Indian art discourse, elongated rural figures, dusky-skinned, rendered with sincerity and grace, their gestures carrying the poetry of daily labour and social memory. These works reaffirm Mani’s lifelong conviction that dignity lives in the ordinary and beauty in lived experience. Equally powerful are Mani’s landscape studies, from the atmospheric ruins of Hampi to abstracted chromatic vistas, where nature becomes metaphor for time, memory and the human spirit. His drawings, often executed in charcoal, reveal a master draftsman able to distill emotion through line alone, capturing movement, fragility and stillness in equal measure. Throughout his evolving practice, Mani cultivated his studio as a sanctuary of creativity and learning, a space meticulously organised yet spirited, where students, artists and grandchildren entered freely. As a devoted teacher and principal at Ken School of Art, he encouraged experimentation, peer support and the courage to think beyond conventions. His belief in nurturing the next generation remains one of his greatest contributions to Indian art.

UTKARṢA honours not only a master painter but a mentor whose life’s work embodies artistic excellence, humility, and the deep conviction that art must stay rooted in humanity. This exhibition invites Mumbai art lovers to celebrate a legacy that continues to inspire—quietly, fiercely, and with unwavering devotion to the creative flame.

Solo Show of Paintings

Contemporary artist Sonu Gupta

VENUE:

Sonu Gupta’s solo exhibition ‘Aawaran’ moves like a quiet blade through the theatre of human psychology. These works aren’t content with surface aesthetics; they pierce the soft underbelly of identity, asking the viewer to confront their many selves; the borrowed masks, the inherited fears, the curated performances we stitch into our skin simply to survive society. Gupta does not lecture; he reveals. Patiently. Relentlessly. With tenderness and unease in equal measure.

This show was inaugurated on 10th November 2025 by Honorable Guest Padmashri Dr. Soma Ghosh – Indian Singer of Hindustani Classical Music, in the presence of Mr. Padmanabh Bendre(Eminent Artist), Mr. Siddharth(Veteran Artist), Mr. Dev Inder(Eminent Photographer), Rishiraj Sethi (Director – Aura Art Development Pvt. Ltd.), Vishwa Sahni(Renowned Artist) among others.

The figures here hover between flesh and fiction. The artist realistically rendered their bodies, but their presence dissolves into abstraction, as if memory itself is glitching. Masks appear not as props, but as organs we have grown used to breathing through. Some are stark white, sterile and compliant; others burn with ornamental complexity, as though the mind’s labyrinth has finally broken the skin. There is a ritualistic undertone, a soft echo of purification rites shadowed by the modern fatigue of having to constantly recalibrate one’s face for the world.

Gupta’s palette, warm and muted, feels ancient and digital at once, earth and algorithm in conversation. These blurred edges and pixelated textures quietly insist that identity today is never fully analog, never fully sincere. We live filtered. We feel edited. We unmask only when absolutely necessary, and even then we tremble.

Aawaran acknowledges veils exist, not just to deceive but to protect, nurture, and incubate. Just as soil holds the seed and night shelters the dawn, these human masks sometimes prevent us from shattering. The exhibition’s deepest argument whispered, not shouted, is that vulnerability is a pilgrimage. Peeling away the layers is not a dramatic act of exposure, but a slow devotion to truth.

In a world obsessed with hyper-visibility and polished personas, Sonu Gupta invites us to pause. To breathe. To ask the uncomfortable question: When all the layers fall, who remains? And perhaps more importantly, are we ready to meet them?

—Sushma Sabnis – Mumbai.
