‘HABITAT – Echoes of Land and Life’: A Convergent Exploration of Nature and Humanity

From 26 May to 01 June 2026, the historic Jehangir Art Gallery will host “HABITAT – Echoes of Land and Life,” a significant group exhibition featuring four acclaimed artists: N. S. Manohar, S Jayaraj, Maruthi Paila, and R Dhiyaneshwaran. 

The exhibition serves as a profound visual dialogue between the elemental forces of earth and sea and the human lives shaped within their embrace. Through a diverse body of work, the artists navigate the terrains of landscape, memory, and abstraction, reflecting on the lived experiences of rural and coastal communities.

In this collection, the land and sea is portrayed as a rhythmic, transformative presence, while the land serves as a repository for stories of tradition and labour. The artists employ colour as a primary emotional language – moving between quiet, contemplative palettes and vibrant, immersive hues – to capture the “echoes” of places remembered and lives witnessed.

S Jayaraj and Maruthi Paila push the boundaries of form, utilizing textured abstractions to bridge the gap between observed reality and imagined space. N. S. Manohar and R Dhiyaneshwaran present evocative figurative narratives and intimate portrayals of everyday life, grounding the exhibition in the resilience of human tradition.

Collectively, these works resonate with a shared concern for environmental continuity and the fragile balance between human existence and the natural world. “HABITAT” does not seek to present a singular narrative; instead, it offers a constellation of impressions, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on their own connections to place.

This show was inaugurated on 26^th May 2026 by Honourable Guest Mr. Rajendra Patil (Director, India Art Festival), Dr. Prakash Kothari among others

सड़क से अधिकारी बनने के सपने और त्याग की भावुक कहानी ने खींचा पाठकों का ध्यान

मुंबई। फ़िल्म और साहित्य की दुनिया में अपनी अलग पहचान बना चुके लेखक-निर्देशक आशीष तिवारी की नई पुस्तक “घुमन्तु” अब Amazon पर प्रकाशित हो चुकी है। यह पुस्तक रिलीज़ होते ही पाठकों और साहित्य प्रेमियों के बीच चर्चा का विषय बन गई है।

“घुमन्तु” केवल एक किताब नहीं, बल्कि उन जिंदगियों की आवाज़ बताई जा रही है जिन्हें समाज अक्सर देखकर भी अनदेखा कर देता है। पुस्तक में संघर्ष, पहचान, समाज की सच्चाई और इंसानी भावनाओं को बेहद संवेदनशील तरीके से प्रस्तुत किया गया है। लेखक ने कहानी को इस अंदाज़ में लिखा है कि पाठक शुरुआत से अंत तक उससे जुड़ा महसूस करता है।

कहानी एक ऐसे गरीब लड़के की भावनात्मक यात्रा को भी सामने लाती है, जो सड़क और मजबूरी भरी जिंदगी से निकलकर एक घुमंतू समुदाय की लड़की को अधिकारी बनाने का सपना देखता है। अपने सपनों, खुशियों और जिंदगी तक की कुर्बानी देकर वह लड़की को उस मुकाम तक पहुंचाने की कोशिश करता है, जहां समाज उसे सम्मान की नजर से देखे। यही संघर्ष, प्यार और त्याग कहानी को बेहद भावुक और दिल छू लेने वाला बनाता है।

हालांकि पुस्तक की कहानी को पूरी तरह उजागर नहीं किया गया है, लेकिन इतना जरूर कहा जा रहा है कि यह किताब पाठकों को सोचने पर मजबूर कर सकती है। “घुमन्तु” उन लोगों की दुनिया की झलक दिखाती है जिनके जीवन में सफर ही पहचान बन जाता है।

लेखक आशीष तिवारी इससे पहले भी सामाजिक विषयों और वास्तविक घटनाओं से प्रेरित कंटेंट को लेकर चर्चा में रहे हैं। उनकी लेखनी की खासियत यह मानी जाती है कि वह आम इंसान की भावनाओं और संघर्षों को सरल लेकिन प्रभावशाली शब्दों में सामने लाते हैं।

सोशल मीडिया पर भी पुस्तक को लेकर सकारात्मक प्रतिक्रियाएँ सामने आ रही हैं। कई पाठकों का कहना है कि “घुमन्तु” सिर्फ पढ़ने की चीज़ नहीं, बल्कि महसूस करने वाली किताब है।

साहित्य और सिनेमा दोनों क्षेत्रों में सक्रिय आशीष तिवारी की यह नई पेशकश युवा पाठकों के साथ-साथ समाज और मानव जीवन को गहराई से समझने वाले लोगों को भी आकर्षित कर सकती है।

“घुमन्तु” अब Amazon पर उपलब्ध है और पाठक इसे ऑनलाइन खरीदकर पढ़ सकते हैं।

Royal Global King And Queen, an International platform for woman empowerment happened on 24th May 2026 in Mumbai, where contestants came from different countries like UK, Canada, Arunachal Pradesh, India, and Dr. Neelam Paradia was an organizer and show Director of the show and proudly Mrs. PRADDNYA S KAMBLI is the winner of Mrs. World Royal Global Queen 2026 title in the esteem platform.

Let us hear from Mrs. Praddnya S Kambli about her journey.

I was born as the only daughter of my parents and the only sister to my elder brother. My childhood was filled with love, warmth, and care, giving me a strong foundation of values and confidence.

Education always played an important role in my life, and with dedication, I became a double graduate in commerce and finance. Soon, life blessed me with a beautiful new chapter — marriage and motherhood.

My journey is a story of strength, self- discovery, and new beginnings. I am a proud homemaker, an entrepreneur, and a mother of two daughters. While managing my family responsibilities with love and dedication, I also nurtured my entrepreneurial spirit, believing that women can beautifully balance both family and ambition. Being a homemaker taught me patience, resilience, and unconditional love, while entrepreneurship gave me confidence, independence, and the courage to dream bigger.

My family became my strength, and my dreams became my motivation.

As the years passed, I realized that while I had fulfilled many responsibilities, there were dreams within me that were still waiting to bloom.

But deep inside me, there was also a dream to create my own identity. Stepping out of my comfort zone, I participated in a beauty pageant for the very first time in my life. Somewhere within me, I wondered if I had lost touch with myself after so many years dedicated to my family.

But the online grooming sessions became a transformative experience for me. They helped me enhance my communication skills, stage presence, confidence, and personality. Every round of the pageant – self-introduction, talent round, question answer round, ramp walk and personality evaluation – was a learning experience. I participated with sincerity ,confidence, and grace, giving my best every moment.

But life surprised me beautifully — I won the titles of Mrs. WORLD ROYAL GLOBAL QUEEN winner 2026, Mrs. ROYAL GLOBAL QUEEN PLATINUM Winner 2026, Mrs. ROYAL GLOBAL QUEEN ETHNIC BEAUTY, Mrs. ROYAL GLOBAL INSPIRING MODEL.

That moment was not just about winning a crown, it was about rediscovering myself. It taught me that dreams do not have an expiry date, and confidence never fades when you believe in yourself.

Today, I stand at the beginning of a new journey filled with passion, purpose, and possibilities. My future vision is to continue growing as a confident woman, to participate in more pageants, win more titles, and create a meaningful identity of my own.

Beyond personal achievements, I want to work for social causes, especially women empowerment, inspiring women to rediscover themselves and believe that every stage of life offers a new beginning.

I sincerely thanks to my family, and Dr. Neelam Paradia, a pageant director of @missmrsroyalglobalqueen for creating such a beautiful and empowering platform and for giving me the opportunity to shine beyond appearances and celebrate my true strength. Your constant support, encouragement, belief in my journey, hard work, dedication made this journey truly unforgettable for me.

This is not the end of my story — it is the beginning of my second innings.

“A woman is never defined by aofte or circumstances; she is defined by the couraofte to beoftin aoftain.”

Mrs. PRADDNYA S KAMBLI The  The Winner Of Mrs. WORLD ROYAL GLOBAL QUEEN 2026 Title In The Esteem Platform.

Ethereal Visions: A National Art Exhibition 

“Ethereal Visions” brings together a diverse group of contemporary artists from across India in a show that moves between figuration, abstraction, and sculptural form, mapping a wide spectrum of visual languages currently in practice. Rather than positioning the ‘ethereal’ as something purely transcendental or decorative, the exhibition locates it within lived experience: memory, labour, environment, and the psychological interior.

The paintings on view range from expressive figuration to stylised landscapes and symbolic narratives. Certain works engage with the human condition through layered, almost eroded surfaces, figures appear fragmented, dissolving into their environments, suggesting themes of migration, anonymity, and collective endurance. Others adopt a more lyrical or decorative approach, where colour fields and organic forms, such as trees rendered in vivid chromatic contrasts, evoke a contemplative, almost meditative stillness. There is also a strong presence of surreal and symbolic portraiture, where the human face becomes a site of internal tension, marked by intricate patterning and fissures that allude to identity, trauma, and transformation.

In contrast, some painters lean into narrative figuration, drawing from performance, mythology, and everyday life. These works retain a gestural softness, where the body is not rigidly defined but emerges through atmosphere and movement. Elsewhere, a sharper, illustrative precision appears in works that hybridise human and animal forms, pointing toward ecological anxieties and the fragility of biological systems. A few works also engage with landscape as a site of disturbance rather than beauty, where atmosphere, smoke, and terrain carry the weight of environmental unease.

The sculptural section extends these concerns into three dimensions. Materials such as metal, ceramic, and mixed media are employed to construct forms that oscillate between abstraction and symbolism. Some sculptures explore balance and tension through stacked, precarious forms, while others draw from ritualistic or mythological imagery, grounding the exhibition within a distinctly Indian sensibility. The ceramic works, in particular, demonstrate a playful yet controlled engagement with form, surface, and rhythm.

What holds the exhibition together is not a singular theme but a shared impulse to negotiate the visible and the intangible. The ‘ethereal’ here is not an escape from reality, but a way of processing it, through distortion, stylisation, and material transformation.

Organised and curated by Vishwa Sahni, “Ethereal Visions” offers a panoramic glimpse into contemporary artistic practices, where multiple vocabularies coexist, intersect, and occasionally collide, reflecting the complexity of the times we inhabit.

This show was inaugurated on 26^th May 2026 by Honourable Chief Guest Mrs. Nina Puri (Renowned Architect)
