Book Launch 'MIRRORS AND SONGS' by Shahbaz Ehsani at Kuch Khaas








  • Tuesday, November 13, 2012  , 5:00pm




Join the book launch of 'MIRRORS AND SONGS' by Shahbaz Ehsani at Kuch Khaas on the 13th of November. 

'MIRRORS AND SONGS' is an excellent reflection of Afghan women’s sentiments born out of a protracted and atrocious conflict - all translated beautifully by Shahbaz – transmitting the feelings of women, who usually are the worst sufferers in conflict. Without putting himself in the shoes of the victims, such soul-touching translation wouldn’t be possible.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Shahbaz Ehsani is a writer, translator and management consultant.


Over the last 10 years he took an interest in modern Afghan literature and has been translating the works of Afghan writers and poets. He presented the poetry of Afghan women at various venues including the Canadian Authors Association, the Asian Study Group (Islamabad) and universities.


His early work and translations appeared in literary magazines in Iran in 1960s. He was the first to introduce E.E. Cummings to Persian speaking world by his translation of excerpts from Cummings’ 100 Selected Poems in 1967. He was a member of the translation team of Tehran University Institute for Economic Research from 1967 to1973 and for three years (1973-1976) acted as the Director of Translation Office of the Iranian Navy.

EVENT PROGRAM

1. Opening Remarks by Harris Khalique, poet and writer

2. Commentary by Kishwar Naheed, poet and writer

3. Poetry of Afghan women, reading in Persian and English by Shahbaz Ehsani

4. Closing remarks by Dr. Andrzej Ananicz, Ambassador of Poland in Pakistan, a linguist with a keen interest in Persian literature

Venue: Kuch Khaas - The Centre for Arts, Culture and Dialogue

Abraash Khan (Interview)




Abraash khan the boy from Canada showing his skills on and off the field. An ordinary boy but a very rare prospect at his age. He plays cricket for Canada under 19 at the age of 14. He has contributed to many games for Canada and hopefully will in the future.
77 against Bermuda in the under 15 Americas cup august 2011
Name: Abraash Khan
Nick name: A.K
DOB: July 1998
Favorite dish: Lamb tikka (y)
Tell us about yourself? 
I am a normal 14 year old kid. I love the game of cricket. But its unfortunate of all the false stereo types that are made of the sport in the west.
Who inspired you to become a cricketer?
My little brother got me caught up in cricket fever but my inspiration as a cricketer and person is Imran khan, a true role model.
You are Canadian cricket team’s youngest under 19 player, how does it feel like?
It’s Awesome because they call me the team baby. But to know the team can’t go without you or any player is a special feeling. We play like family and lose like family. Age is nothing but a number.
You go a chance to go to NCA Lahore, How was your experience there attending the workshop?
It was a great experience. I got a good taste of the level overseas. I also got the privilege to work with great Pakistani legends like Aaqib Javed and Mohsin Kamal.


Which area are you really good at batting or bowling?
I am an all-rounder. I open the bowling and bat in the early order. I am the opening fast bowler for the Canadian team and my batting has been proved useful and hopefully I can make contributions to help our team qualify for the under 19 cricket world cup next year.

Do you think is there any scope for cricket in Canada?
 Interestingly, cricket is growing at a rapid rate in the GTA area. There are lots and lots of clubs competing at all different levels. Some teams are rejected as-well because of the lack of cricket grounds and facilities. There are very impressive juniors and having seen some of the level overseas, I could compare Canada to be alongside some of the great cricketing nations.
Other than cricket which other sport do you like to play?
I like to play football and anything that requires catching a ball LOL.

You have played many matches with different countries in which match did you really enjoyed?
Its always a great feeling playing a match against another country. There are nerves and excitement rushing through your veins. One of the most fun parts of playing against other countries though, is that you get to stay overseas and go on tours. Going overseas for a week or two with a team to play a sport is always a great time and also in the dressing room with your team mates. We have had many unforgettable moments.
Any favorite match?
we were coming off a very embarrassing loss to USA the day before and we were gutted. we were in trouble early because we lost early wickets but i made 77 runs off 69 balls and tope scored helping our team get a respectable total. When we came into bowl we all came together as a team and pulled off a great win over Bermuda.
In future which team would you like to play with Pakistan or Canada?
Aha, it depends on where Canada stands as a cricketing nation when the time comes.
Along with cricket how good are you at your studies?
Sports is always a very unpredictable career. One major injury could end you career. So it’s always essential to have the right education and knowledge to pursue a normal career. It’s really important with me to keep up your grades as well.
Any one person you would like to say thank too?
I would like to say thank you to my family (parents) and my coach Derek Perera for now. But the real thank you’s will hopefully be going out in 10 years’ time.

Where do you think you would be in next 5 years?
We’ll see how plans work out. The dream is to play for a major cricketing nation in a world cup though.
Any message to support cricket in Canada?
Cricket’s more than a game. It’s a matter about Representing the RED.
