Pune: 'Theatre group 001' will stage a German play  'Fluchpunkte'  based on the theme of refugees and displaced  persons at Jyotsna Bhole hall here at 7 pm on Friday, March 3. Teachers and students of German language in the city have enacted in the play. The play is open to all. The duration is 1 hour 15 minutes.

The play is conceptualised and directed by Manjiri Paranjape. The premier of the play was performed in an International Conference on “Migration: Politics and Poetics” in the last week of February in Pune and was very much appreciated by the experts from India and Germany.

The problem of migrants in Europe and especially in Germany has become right now of prime importance. Many people from various countries have been uprooted and have to leave their native place, their country and move to Europe. This phenomenon is influencing the day-today life, Economy, Education, Culture and Literature in Germany.

Theatre group 001 has put up the  play “Fluchtpunkte”, which showcases various aspects of the migrants, of being uprooted, of running away from one’s own country, of running away from oneself, from responsibilities and life and finally the relation between Escaping and Being.

The play is a collage of German texts – poems, prose texts and abstracts from theatre plays – written by Franz Kafka, Bertolt Brecht, Rilke and migrant authors.

Dnyanodaya monthly enters 175th year CAMIL PARKHE |  Wednesday, 31 May 2017 AT 11:10 PM IST          goo.gl/t2mMQq    Camil Parkhe ,  Dnyanodaya Pune:  Dnyanodaya monthly, founded and edited by American missionaries for many decades, has earned the distinction of being the longest surviving Marathi periodical. The monthly is celebrating its 175th year here on Saturday, June 3. Dnanodaya fortnightly was founded by the American Marathi Mission’s clergy in Ahmednagar by Rev Henry Balentine, a scholar in Greek, Latin, Sanskrit and Marathi languages, on June 20, 1842. The fortnightly was later converted into a monthly. Presently, it is published from the city and is edited by Ashok Angre. Balentine edited the periodical from 1842 to 1845 and again from 1858 to 1865. The other American missionaries who edited the Marathi periodical for many years included Robert Wilson Hume, Dr Samuel Fairback, Dr Allen Hazen, Charles Park, Edward Hume, Robert Hume and Justine E Abbot.

Shakuntala Paranjape : Crusade of a lifetime

Shakuntala Paranjape :  Crusade of a lifetime Pune Plus The Times of India By Camil Parkhe When the list of recipients of national civilian awards was announced on the eve of Republic Day this year, the inclusion of her name among the Padma Bhushan awardees did not strike a loud note. Ironically, some newspapers in Pune, where she has worked as a lone crusader in the field of family planning, did not have a story on her. She was clubbed together with other eminent local persons who were also honoured with civilian awards. Perhaps there was a reason for this omission. The redoubtable Mrs. Shakuntala Paranjape, has been away from the limelight for more than two decades now. To Shakuntala Paranjape, who turned 85 on January 17, goes the credit of launching a long crusade for popularising family planning during the pre-independent era, when even discussing this issue in public was taboo. Many an eye-brow was raised when this lady, from a well-known and respected family (

Fr. Rudolf Schoch. Looking back in satisfaction Pune Plus, The Times of India (1991) By Camil Parkhe From days in the forties and fifties when he went horseback to visit the Jesuits-run 50 schools in Ahmednagar district to his present retirement days in Pune, it has been a period of great challenge and fulfillment for Fr. Rudolf Schoch. The founder of two reputed schools in state, and school principal for 38 years, Fr. Schoch has set a record of a sorts which may shared by only a few. By a strange twist of history, this Swiss-born Jesuit had to choose India as his Karmabhoomi and later, in a similar manner, education as his mission in life. But Fr. Schoch, now 78, says that he has not regretted the two sudden changes In his career which moulded his life in an unexpected way. As the founder of Loyola High School in Pune and Dnyanamata High School in Sangamner in Ahmednagar district and as an able administrator, Fr. Schoch commands respect in academic circles. But that is
