What You will Experience:
This exhibition takes you on an emotional journey through themes like:
- A mother’s relentless pursuit to shape her child’s dreams.
- Her tireless efforts to balance work and family.
- Stories of motherhood in tribal traditions.
- The legacy of nurturing passed down through grandparents.
- Motherly love in Mother Nature, a nurturing force we often take for granted.
Nature as the Universal Mother
We call her Mother Nature because, like a mother, she gives selflessly – providing us with life-sustaining resources, shelter, and beauty. She mirrors a mother’s care, strength, and sacrifices. Yet, as humanity prospers, we often neglect and exploit her generosity.
This exhibition sheds light on this delicate relationship, urging viewers to reflect on the ways we can honor and protect the planet we call home. The theme reminds us that nurturing our natural world is as crucial as cherishing the mothers who raise us.
An Invitation to Feel and Reflect
“Motherhood is not just a relationship; it’s a constant presence guiding us through life’s every phase,” says Devendra. This exhibition invites you to reflect on the true meaning of a mother’s love—be it from the one who gave us life or from the Earth that sustains us.

Born on August 30, 1996, in Ghaziabad, India, Diship Garg’s life is a testament to the transformative power of music. From his humble beginnings as a devotional singer at the tender age of seven to becoming a multi-faceted artist and music consultant in New York, Diship’s journey is one of relentless dedication, versatility, and impact.
The Early Days in India
Diship’s musical journey began in Ghaziabad, where his talent was nurtured under the guidance of his kindergarten mentor, Ms. Preeti, and esteemed figures like Bhajan Samrat Anup Jalota and Ravindra Jain. By the age of 12, Diship had already achieved national recognition, earning the title of ‘India’s
Youngest Bhajan Singer’ in the India Book of Records in 2008.
His captivating performances garnered accolades from dignitaries, including the former Vice President of India, the Defence Minister, and the Chief Ministers of Delhi and Uttarakhand. In 2009, Diship’s influence extended internationally when he was invited by the Government of Sri Lanka to perform in Colombo.
Diship began a decade-long association with T-Series, one of India’s leading music labels, releasing seven devotional and Urdu albums. Highlights include Shyam Ji Ka SMS and Zindagi Ek Kiraye Ka Ghar Hai, which cemented his place as a rising star in the Indian music industry.
Academic Pursuits and Growth
Diship’s insatiable thirst for knowledge drove him to pursue multiple advanced degrees. He holds a Master’s in Indian Classical Vocal from Indira Kala Sangit Vishwavidyalaya, a Master’s in Economics, a Master’s in Public Policy from St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai, and a Master’s in Music Business (Music Technology) from New York University (NYU). These achievements reflect his commitment to understanding music’s multifaceted world and its intersections with business, policy, and technology.
At NYU, Diship’s leadership shone as he organized flagship events like the Benny Blanco gathering and annual alumni reunions. His academic excellence earned him the prestigious Steinhardt Alumni Scholarship, the Dean Mary Brabeck Scholarship, and recognition for Outstanding Contribution to the Graduate Music Business Program.
Professional Excellence
Diship’s career is as diverse as his skill set. In India, he produced chart-topping singles for Twelve Strings Productions and directed devotional reality shows for Subharti Channel. He also taught underprivileged students through NGO Antarang, instilling a love for music in future generations.
In the U.S., Diship made his mark at AEG Presents-TMWRK Management, contributing to marketing campaigns, presale coordination, and content production for artists such as Major Lazer and Jai Paul. A recent highlight of his work at TMWRK includes video editing for London-based artist Qendresa’s song ‘Whatever You Like.’ At Adhyâropa Records LLC, he managed operations for 50 artists, spearheading innovative release strategies and collaborating with PR firms.
At NYU’s Create Research Lab, Diship pushed the boundaries of innovation, working on VR projects that blended music and technology. As a Concert Recordist, he documented 50 live performances, showcasing his technical expertise in audio production.
Awards and Recognition
Diship’s career is adorned with numerous accolades, including the prestigious Agra Vibhushan Award presented by former Vice President of India Hamid Ansari, the Meri Dilli Award conferred by former Chief Minister of Delhi Sheila Dikshit, and recognition as ‘India’s Youngest Bhajan Singer’ in 2008 by the India Book of Records. His academic accomplishments, including multiple scholarships at NYU, along with invitations to perform on international stages, further underscore his remarkable journey.
A Visionary in Music
Beyond his professional roles, Diship is a cultural ambassador. As the author of Music – The Mirror of the Soul, he examines the societal impact of music. As co-founder of Sri Sri Ganesh International, he has led operational strategies, data visualization, and website creation.
Today, Diship balances his consultancy work in New York with creating his own music, achieving significant streaming milestones on platforms like Spotify and YouTube. His ability to fuse Indian classical heritage with contemporary innovation has established him as a global music visionary.
Looking Ahead
Diship is committed to furthering his mission of cultural exchange through music. He plans to launch workshops in New York that blend Indian classical traditions with global sounds while collaborating with emerging artists.

NATURALNESS An Exhibition Of Recent Works By Artist Ramdas Manikrao Thorat In Jehangir
From: 17th to 23rd December 2024
“NATURALNESS”
An Exhibition of Recent works by well-known artist Ramdas Manikrao Thorat
VENUE:
Jehangir Art Gallery
161-B, M.G. Road,
Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400 001
Timing: 11am to 7pm
Contact: +91 8082050330
This show was inaugurated on 17th December 2024 by Parents of artist Ramdas Thorat in the presence of Hansodnya Tambe, Aashutosh Aapte, Mangesh Naik, Pradip Palav, Ashok Hinge, Nilesh Jadhav among others.
Art, time, and eternity are impersonal, awakened, conscious, and unique. They are the eternal manifestations of the ever-existing conscious Nature, whose inner and outer forces pervade all existence. The experiences born out of these natural forces are what we call art and life. When a painter contemplates through a visual medium, they transcribe their mental impressions into pictorial narratives or translate their thoughts into visual forms. In this process, the painter captures the invisible language of visual consciousness, imprinting it in the form of pictorial imagery. This act of transforming primal human experiences into visual forms, inspired by naturalness, is known as ‘visual-form paintings’ or ‘pictorial essence of vision.’
The ongoing interplay of space, sky, earth, water, and soil reflects the dynamic process of this eternal primordial nature, whose inherent power takes on various forms. This dynamic manifestation is what we perceive as ‘Chitramaya’ (illusory imagery) or ‘Chittamaya’ (illusory consciousness). Each painting embodies the unique attributes of this illusory essence, rendering a distinctive artistic character.
Nature’s light, shadow, twilight, darkness, warmth, coolness, solitude, fire, flame, density, sparsity, thick forests, lush meadows, gardens, ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, seas, oceans, homes, villages, cities, streets, marketplaces—all these myriad attributes of natural existence contribute to the visual-textural symphony of form, tone, and rhythm. This synthesis of qualities is evident in Ramdas’s artistic oeuvre, reflecting the convergence of tangible and intangible qualities.
A visual artist channels the shadows of this eternal, conscious Nature into their mind, responding to its impressions and projecting them outward in visual form. This process, where mental experiences are translated into physical expression, is what we call the “experience of artistic time” or “the era of art.” It is the conscious repetition of impressions imprinted on the human psyche by the external world. This deliberate act of creation is what we define as “artistic genesis.”
The texture, structure, spatial voids, and depth on Ramdas’s canvases actively contribute to the viewer’s perception of the artwork. His creations exist in an imaginative world where tangible nature and abstraction dissolve into a unified, cosmic resonance. This resonance expresses emotional and sensory capacities, evoking deep responses in the observer. Ramdas journeys from the vast expanse of the physical to the infinite subtleties of the metaphysical, showcasing the dynamic interplay of visible expression and ongoing exploration. His art embodies the release of accumulated potential, akin to the release of water from an overflowing dam.
In Ramdas’s works, there is a seamless blend of abstract sensibilities and tangible representations, making it difficult to measure his creations against traditional standards of naturalistic art or to quantify the value of abstraction. Instead, his art seeks a middle ground, uncovering the essence of visual perception through tonal harmony, textures, structure, and light.
His visual compositions, enriched by organic forms and patterns, depict landscapes resembling vast gardens or boundless carpets of infinite nature. The horizontal elements in his art evoke tranquility, while the interplay of the skies, waters, and earthy tones—textured and rugged—convey a profound connection to the primal landscape. The velvety greens, subtle hues, and tactile depth come together to create an immersive sensory experience, transporting viewers to a state of cosmic sensitivity. This transcendent moment, akin to an axis or pivotal instant, unfolds through Ramdas’s artistic vision, leaving the viewer profoundly affected.
Ramdas’s artwork is a testament to the unique fusion of abstraction and tangible representation, where neither naturalistic depiction nor pure abstraction dominates. Instead, his art bridges these extremes, presenting a chromatic, textured exploration of the sensory world, rendered in visual notes.
His compositions, with their organic shapes and intricate patterns, often evoke vast, limitless natural landscapes. The tranquil horizontality, the earthen textures of the soil, the layered tones of vegetation, and the juxtaposition of light and shadow create a harmonious visual symphony. These elements, combined with the emotional and cosmic resonance of the art, allow viewers to connect deeply with the work, experiencing it as a dynamic interplay of nature’s infinite forms and human creativity.

Leh and Ladakh: A Canvas of Divine Contrast
Renowned visual photographer Gurdeep Dhiman describes his encounters with Leh and Ladakh as transformative journeys that nourish the soul and inspire the spirit. With its stark yet stunning contrasts — barren landscapes, deep blue skies, and lush green valleys — the region evokes a sense of harmonious spirituality. Dhiman, drawn like a magnet to this land where heaven meets earth, uses his camera as a medium to converse with these awe-inspiring surroundings.
As a passionate explorer of the world’s diversity, Dhiman captures the large and small wonders of our planet through his lens. His love for the Indian Himalayas is evident in his work, which documents life, culture, and nature’s grandeur. These landscapes, whether vast and panoramic or intimately personal, resonate with raw emotion and timeless beauty.
Portrait Photography: A Window to the Soul
Dhiman’s portraits are an ode to the human spirit. He considers them “maps to one’s heart” and “windows to the soul.” His process is deeply immersive, involving long, meaningful interactions with his subjects to capture their essence. These powerful visual narratives highlight the interplay of light and shadow, often rendered in striking black and white, inviting viewers into the world of his subjects.
Landscape Photography: Stories of the Earth
For Dhiman, landscapes are not mere documentation but expressions of imagination and emotion. His visual storytelling elevates the viewer’s relationship with nature, offering a deeply reflective experience. He masterfully uses the natural play of light, color, and structure to highlight the planet’s beauty while advocating for its preservation and protection.
A Vision for Connection and Conservation
Through his evocative work, Gurdeep Dhiman not only seeks to immortalize the breathtaking essence of places like Leh and Ladakh but also aims to foster an emotional connection with the environment. His photography inspires viewers to cherish and safeguard the wonders of our world, making his art a compelling call to action for nature conservation.

– MET Students Won a 36-hour Coding Hackathon
– SIH 2024 Witnessed 49,000+ Teams on the National Level
– PM Narendra Modi also interacted with the Finalists
Mumbai, December 18, 2024 : The MET Institute of Management (MET IOM), Mumbai redefined the spirit of innovation and problem-solving as they won the Smart India Hackathon (SIH) 2024 and triumphed in the Grand Finale of the coveted innovation tournament. The Finale of the Software Edition was hosted at Belagavi, Karnataka with 26 participating teams on December 11 and 12, in which Team ‘Manthan 1’, Master of Management Studies (MMS) students from MET IOM, Mumbai emerged victorious competing in a 36-hour coding Hackathon.
For the unversed, SIH is a premier nationwide initiative designed to engage students in solving some of the most pressing challenges faced in everyday life and provides a dynamic platform for students to develop and showcase their creative solutions to real-world problems.
The hackathon also aims to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical application by encouraging students to think critically and innovatively. The MET IOM team (Manthan 1) successfully tackled a challenging problem statement from the Ministry of Law and Justice. Their solution focused on simplifying and gamifying the learning process for key aspects of the Indian Constitution, including the Preamble, Fundamental Rights (Part 3), Directive Principles of State Policy (Part 4), and Fundamental Duties (Part 4A). The innovative platform they developed gears toward to make constitutional literacy engaging and accessible to citizens.
The team developed innovative solutions, creating two main games and four mini-games to make learning engaging and impactful. The main games, Samvidhan Manthan, a 3D role-playing game with immersive storytelling, and Samvidhan Mandal, a digital board game exploring concepts of law, rights, and imprisonment, captivated the judges. The mini-games, including Shasn, a monopoly-style game on constitutional concepts; Snakes & Ladders (Beginner) and Snakes & Ladders (Advanced), featuring MCQs of varying difficulty levels; and Samvidhan Explorer, a 2D animated game, provided a creative and interactive learning experience.
The Chairman of Mumbai Educational Trust, Mr. Chhagan Bhujbal, honored the team for their innovative contributions to education and technology. During the felicitation ceremony held at MET Mumbai, Mr. Bhujbal applauded the team for their creativity and commitment, highlighting their transformative approach to technology-driven learning.
“The students’ efforts resonate with MET’s mission to nurture innovation and academic excellence. This remarkable victory highlights MET Institute of Management’s commitment to fostering creativity, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving among its students,” he said.
The team’s journey through the competition involved three rigorous rounds of evaluation– the first being the assessment of the originality of their idea, research, and progress in game development. The second round focused on improvements made based on judges’ feedback while the final round evaluated the market readiness and scalability of their solution. The innovative solutions created by the MET team not only addressed the problem statement but also showcased the transformative potential of gamification in learning.
Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi interacted with all young innovators at the SIH via video conferencing. Addressing the gathering on the occasion, he said that the India of today can progress at a fast pace with ‘sabka prayas’ or everyone’s effort and that the occasion was a prime example of the same.
The MET Mumbai team included Yash Parmar, Vidisha Ghosh, Anish Kumar Singh, and Om Khattar (MMS 2023-25), along with Vivek Pawar and Manas Jadhav (MMS 2024-26), under the mentorship of Dr. Manmeet Barve, Associate Professor, MET IOM, and Mr. Shailesh Sargade, Assistant Professor, MET IOM, that became one of the top five finalists. The team also received invaluable support and direction from Dr. Swati Lodha, Director, MET IOM, whose visionary leadership played a pivotal role in their success.
In the SIH 2024 edition, the tournament witnessed 86,000+ Teams’ participation at the institute level and 49,000+ student teams were recommended for the national round to solve 254 problem statements.

Hotel Associations’ Appeal Rejected By Bombay HC The Court Upheld The Original Order Which Favored NOVEX NOC Must For Music In Events
In a significant setback for hotel associations, the Division Bench of the Bombay High Court has refused to stay the judgment passed by Justice R.I. Chagla, which favored Novex. The court upheld the original order, stating that no case was made out by the opposing side.
This verdict reinforces two crucial points:
Novex’s Licensing Rights: Novex can continue issuing licenses for all categories of events.
Novex’s Right to Seek Relief: Novex can file cases and seek relief against venues that repeatedly infringe on their rights.
This ruling is consistent with the Bombay High Court’s earlier decision, which held that music rights holders like Novex are copyright owners and can issue music licenses without being registered as copyright societies.
