Elaborate sets, colourful costumes, amazing fireworks and effects. All this telling the history of a wonderful city called 'Delhi'. And who else to tell the tale than the acclaimed director - Aamir Raza Hussain.
The scene was of the exclusive screening of the play 'Afsana - e- tareekh' organised by Delhi Millenium Round Table 149 on Friday 2nd november 2007 at Nitesh farms on NH 8. The setting was mesmerising enough to transport the viewers to the eras gone by - from medieval to Rajputs, Taimurs, Lodhis , Mughals and the present. With music, dance, acrobatic performance, procession of camels and elephants and synchronised fireworks, it was an event not to be missed.
The mega event provided Area 5 with a unique opportunity of publicising Round Table India and Freedom Through Education not only in front of the hundreds of people attending the show but also the electronic media. 4 TV channels sent their crews to cover the event and took interviews of our Area Chairman Tr Ravi Baid. NDTV Metronation, Total TV, Delhi Aaj tak and Siti Channel broadcast the coverage 3-4 times on an average on 3rd & 4th November. Attached are the compressed TV clips.
Thanks to DMRT 149 for organising this amazing event in a very short time and providing Area V with this wonderful image building opportunity. Thanks to my wife Cr Nima, DSLC 15 for (covering up for me as i was quite busy and) arranging the TV coverages.
