Directed by student auteurs Diya Deviah and Sampurna Khasnabis
 
Based on the original play in French, God of Carnage written by Yasmina Reza and adapted to the Indian context from Roman Polanksi’s 2011 film production, Carnage is a razor-sharp, biting dark comedy centred on parental differences. It is the story of two pairs of parents who are held in a (somewhat) cordial meeting after their sons are involved in a fight, though as their time together progresses, increasingly childish behaviour throws the discussion into chaos

A programme on the cuisine of pre-partition provinces of Punjab, Sindh and Bengal, followed by a dinner for IIC Members
 
Curated by Dr. Pushpesh Pant and Dr.  Babso Kanwar
 
Besides recipes, what the people of the undivided subcontinent cherish are the traditions and songs that celebrate amongst other things the changing cycle of seasons. Devotees of Jhulelal (the most revered Sufi Saint of Sindh, Laal Shahbaz Qalandar) cut across geographical divides and seamlessly bridge religious chasms. Runa Laila from Bangladesh celebrates the Punjabi kalaamby Baba Bulleh Shah, “Dama Dam Mast Qalandar”, Baul Muslim singers continue to keep alive the memories of Krishna and Radha from Vrindavan and the tragic tale of Heer and Ranjha continues to haunt Punjab and Punjabis alike
