Dastur started her career as a model in commercials.Р”Вastur made her Hindi cinema-acting debut in Manish Tiwary's romantic drama Issaq, alongside Prateik Babbar. She is currently studying in Mumbai's HR College. Dastur is Parsi and she speaks English and Gujarati at home. She started her Secondary education from Dhirubhai Ambani International School but dropped out to pursue acting. РІР‚СљOur aim is to give enough tasteful literature to the audience in the language that they feel most connected to,РІР‚Сњ she adds.Amyra Dastur began her education in Cathedral and John Connon School. We want to bring all the languages prevalent in Pune together, apart from presenting the past and present of Hindi/Urdu literature,РІР‚Сњ says Singh, who plans to scale up the festival next year with the addition of Sindhi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Kannada, Telugu and other languages spoken in the city. While it has seen a time of glory in the past, the current times present a very dynamic version of it. РІР‚СљThe Deccan has a long, inspiring history of Urdu shayars, sufi musicians, dance culture, theatre, fiction and non-fiction literature. With the festival, Singh also aims to dispel the notion that the Deccan states have little association with Urdu language and literature. But if we make poetry user-friendly by including it in film songs, they are more likely to develop a taste for it,РІР‚Сњ says the lyricist. РІР‚СљWe canРІР‚в„ўt expect every college-going youth to study РІР‚ВGitanjaliРІР‚в„ў or Ghalib and Mir. Manoj Muntashir, who has penned popular songs like РІР‚ВGalliyanРІР‚в„ў (Ek Villain) and РІР‚ВTere Sang YaaraРІР‚в„ў (Rustom), believes that songs effectively bring poetry to people. They feed off each other.РІР‚Сњ To put this thought to effect, she has roped in film and stage artistes like Salim Arif, Kanwaljit Singh, Pravin Bhole (head of Lalit Kala Kendra, SPPU), Sachin Khedekar, Alok Rajwade, as speakers for panel discussions. She says, РІР‚СљLiterature is present in most creative arts. A civil servant by day, Singh who burns the midnight oil reading and writing Urdu poetry, has strung together theatre, music, cinema and songs for the festival. The poet Monika Singh, a member of Dakani Adab Foundation and the curator of Deccan Lit Fest, shares that the purpose behind showcasing the arts is to present a well-rounded view of literature. An open mic event, Poetry of Youngistan, for poets aged below 30, will also be held. The main attractions of the festival are the mushaira (in Urdu), and a kavi sammelan in Marathi and Hindi. A Vijay Tendulkar play adapted in Hindi, Panchhi Aise Aate Hain a Kathak recital by Ameera Patankar and a Sufi music performance by Dhruv Sangari and troupe is on the programme too. The event will also feature a Hindustani classical music performance by Padma Vibhushan Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan, who will be accompanied by his son, Murtuza Mustafa and grandson Faiz Mustafa. Among the highlights of the event include a poetry reading session by Deepti Naval a talk by Hindi author Narendra Kohli a tour of TukaramРІР‚в„ўs poetry by Sadanand More a retrospective of Pu La Deshpande, Keshavsut and Purushottam Shivram Rege presented by Sachin Khedekar and Bollywood lyricist Manoj MuntashirРІР‚в„ўs take on poetry in films. I am keen to hear the new poets and their works,РІР‚Сњ says Nizam who will read from his published works at the festival.Р”Р„ctress-poet Deepti Naval, Urdu poet Sheen Kaaf Nizam, Padma Vibhushan Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan, Lyricist Manoj MuntashirР”Вeccan Lit Fest goes beyond the spoken word, and weaves together poetry and the arts of the Deccan region. There is actually a great contemporary wave going on, which co-exists with the classical poetry of the mushairas. Many young poets are doing brilliant work in the postmodern Urdu shayari era. The Sahitya Akademi Awardwinning Urdu poet, Sheen Kaaf Nizam, is happy to be a part of the festival, for it presents a good mix of the classical and contemporary. The festival will also host writers from across the country for a wider purview. Organised by Dakani Adab Foundation, the two-day litfest will debut with poets, writers and performing artists of the city, bringing to the fore Urdu, Marathi and Hindi literatures. Aiming to fill this void and to put the spotlight on literatures of the Deccan states, the Deccan Lit Fest will launch in the city this weekend. While there are literature festivals aplenty in the state, and a few homegrown in Pune as well, most donРІР‚в„ўt go beyond either discussing Hindi or English literature. With shayars, kavis, lyricists, thespians, screen writers and more, this new literature festival shines a spotlight on the regionРІР‚в„ўs poetry
