  • Time: 1:45 PM to 4:00 PM
  • Dr. Ravi Harapanhalli will present and lead the discussion on his new skit" Jeevana Sanje- Baalyada Beru".   In this skit, the old couples, who are empty nesters, reminisce about their bygone life and cherish the memories dating back from childhood through youth, married life, raising their children, and finally into the empty nest. As they remember each stage of their bygone life, they recollect Bendre’s poems and discuss how those poems related to them at those times. The nostalgia culminates into the old couple singing their own song describing the childhood days they longed for. The presentation will start with a background and narration of the dialogs and interspersed with poems.
