Amita Bhose despre Durga puja la Radio România Actualități (1990)

În urmă cu 20 de ani, o voce melodioasă se auzea, cam o dată pe lună, la Radio România Actualități. Era vocea Amitei Bhose, care ne povestea nouă, românilor, despre obiceiurile indiene, despre religie, despre frumos. Iată unul dintre textele pregătite de domnia-sa și găzduite de Radio România la invitația unui alt mare iubitor al frumosului, al culturii, domnul Emil Burlacu.

Vijaya (victorie asupra sentimentelor negative din sufletele nostre)

Emisiune radiofonică

Zilele acestea am fost furată de nostalgie. Amintirile ţării se împleteau în mod firesc cu cele ale copilăriei. Mă uitam la cerul senin, tomnatic al Bucureştiului, şi mă plimbam, cu gândul, pe câmpiile Bengalului. Vântul unduia prin lanurile de orez, pline cu spice verzi. Roiuri de albine zumzăiau deasupra lacurilor încărcate cu lotuşii albi şi roşii. Plantele gingaşe de kaş împodobite cu flori albe se legănau. Iarba umezită de rouă era împrăştiată cu flori albe de şefali, asemănătoare celor de castan. Păsările cântau în cor. Şi eu – întoarsă la vârsta bucuriei şi a inocenţei, fredonam un cântec al toamnei şi culegeam flori în poala sariului meu. (mai mult…)

Diwali at Louis Vuitton

CNN Go International

I must admit I found the news about Louis Vuitton celebrating Diwali in all his stores with the works of Rajeev Sethi in the French Review Cosmopolitan. And my heart startled in joy: we were not out of the fashion trend to bring Indian saris in Bucharest or to celebrate India’s culture in Romania. We offered a Festival of eight days, Louis Vuitton will be paying homage to India’s biggest and brightest religious festival, Diwali, through specially-designed store windows for more than two months, meaning until after New Year’s Eve Celebration – and, let us not forget, Christmas is coming in between!

I am also happyto find another Indian name becoming known at international level, finding inspiration in India’s culture, as Rajeev Sethi is a New Delhi-based artist and scenographer known for bringing contemporary relevance to the work of traditional artists and craftsmen. He collaborated with Louis Vuitton to design the Diwali-themed window displays. 

“From November 5 to mid January, all of Louis Vuitton’s 454 stores spanning five continents will feature columns of trunks made of banana leaves, which will glow softly like lanterns and are “aimed to give passers-by the feeling of gaiety and festivity.”

And I find more than interesting the explanation I found on the CNN site for Louis Vuitton choice:

“Louis Vuitton’s Diwali celebration is yet another sign that India is commanding global respect due to its formidable economic performance in the past decade. In many ways, this India-focused store theme and collection represents a peak in its relationship with the country, which dates back to the 1920s when Maharajas placed special orders for their luxury leather trunks.”

The mark Louis Vuitton involved names like Rajeev Sethi, Marc Jacobs and Priyanka Chopra and Christy Turlington to make Diwali go Global!
