Happy Women’s day to all the incredible women out there! Shine on, not just today, but every single day!

Music evokes so many feelings in us, memories, nostalgia, things that are connected to our past. #qfr was one such event which added variety to the India Art Festival, our regular feature in February which was held online by The Aura this year.

The show ‘Quarantine from Reality’

was a reminiscence of Tamil and

Hindi Cinema with Ms Subhasree

Thanikachalam, a top class Journalist,

Script writer and Producer. She led us

through a mesmerizing journey of

music from the 1960s to the 2000s.

The Retro e-concert by very talented

young singers Santosh Subramaian,

RP Shravan and Srinidhi with brilliant

support from the musicians was a

treat indeed . The trivia on each song

by Subhasree added more charm to

the show. Three cheers to team QFR

who carried every song with great

aplomb!

The internet is fast becoming a way of life

for many and the chances of falling prey to

cyber crime looms large. Social media

crimes like profile hacking, photo

morphing, shopping scams, information

theft, eve teasing are increasing by the

day.

To throw more light on the safety of

women, we have with us Mrs S Rajeswari

recipient of the President’s medal for

meritorious service. Known for her

simplicity, honesty and integrity, she is an

inspiration to young girls aspiring to join

the police service. Let us be more aware

and less vulnerable on the internet.

Event 1

know’ by

Mrs Rajeswari IPS DIG of Police.

Wednesday 10th March, 2021

Event 2

‘The Vocabulary of

Textiles’

with

Mrs Sabita Radhakrishnan Freelance writer & Broadcaster

@ 12am on Zoom.

For Sabita Radhakrishnan, age is just a number. A freelance writer, food columnist, textile designer, broadcaster and scriptwriter with the AIR and Doordarshan, she was also an active member of the Crafts Council of India and the pioneer behind the boutique concept in Chennai.

As a textile revivalist and craft activist Sabita’s work during the pandemic was commendable. She launched ‘The weaver’s initiative’ to help the weavers sell their stock. She deeply values her work with crafts people and their welfare.

Meet the wonder woman and be inspired.

Members speak

Music is the only medium which leads you

to shed inhibitions and involve wholly into

it. QFR was extremely good and I enjoyed

it. Thank you Aura for the Inikkum Kaalai

Pozhudhinile - Sharada Mouli

Every song has a story behind it. And we

have our own memories and stories behind

our favourite songs . the music session

evoked so many such memories. Awesome

singing coupled with Subhasree’s

characteristic presentation was a real treat.
