Mangalore, February 12: Several events associated with Dakshina Kannada appeared in the paintings of artist Sapna Noronha, whose solo art exhibition began in the city on Friday.

Ms. Noronha has dedicated the exhibition to her teacher, late B.G. Mohammed. Shabbir Ali, son of artist B.G. Mohammed, inaugurated the exhibition.

Themes such as “Bhoothakola”, “Kambla” and “Mosaru kudike festival” are the subjects of her paintings.

As S.S. Nayak, chartered accountant and one of the chief guests, said: “Some have interesting details which would have delighted her teacher. One such painting is 'Yield of the garden', where a woman with green bananas perched on her head is walking down a path. The sunlight filters in through a patch of sky above amidst the canopy of trees, lighting a few fronds of coconut leaves. Another is that of a man carrying straw on a cycle, 'Feet of Bahubali', and 'Woman at the waterfalls”.

He said that it was laudable that Ms. Sapna has dedicated the exhibition to her teacher at a time when acknowledging the teacher had become uncommon.

Ms. Noronha said that though she liked painting several themes, the tribute to Mohammed consisted mostly of subjects drawn from life in Dakshina Kannada.

She said, “This collection has more of Mangalore on the canvas. It has scenes that are fast disappearing from the city such as the painting of a bullock cart with hay, which I remember seeing in Mangalore in my childhood.”

She said that her teacher Mohammed would say that if he could have his students for two years, he would make artists out of them.

Narendra Kamath, skin specialist, recalled a time when Mohammed brought a painting to him.

When the artist was told he could have minted money in Mumbai with the paintings, he replied that the art was not for money but to share with the people of Mangalore.

Mr. Ali painted a landscape in minutes before the audience. Ms. Noronha has held group exhibitions and participated in “Chitra Santhe” in Bangalore.

She has held a solo exhibition of her works earlier in September 2010.

The exhibition is open to the public till February 15.

Bengaluru, Mar 11: Jyotiraditya Scindia has not betrayed the Congress, but he has been betrayed by the Congress and Kamal Nath, said on Wednesday Madhya Pradesh Congress MLAs who are camping here after tendering the resignations.

"It is not Jyotraditya Scindia who has betrayed. Instead, he has been betrayed by the Congress and Kamal Nath. Despite the fact that it was his hard work that enabled Congress to form the government in MP after 15 years, yet he was being sidelined. His people were sidelined," Mahendra Singh Sisodia was heard saying in a video.

Taking a veiled jibe at Chief Minister Nath, Sisodia said: "On one hand, you claim that treasury is empty and on the other, works worth Rs 12,000 crore is done in Chhindwara constituency. Are the rest of MLAs and ministers just killing time?"

He also warned other Congress MLAs that the party would be decimated in the state in the future.

"Did not the Congress trick people in MP? What happened to the farm loan waiver announced? When we go to our region, people ask us what happened to loan-waiver.
What happened to curb corruption, Vyapam? Whichever party Scindia joins, we will go with him," he said.

Former MP Minister Imarti Devi said that all 22 MLAs are in Bengaluru out of their own choice.

"All 22 MLAs are here (in Bengaluru) on their own will. We are happy Scindiaji has taken this decision. I will always stay with him even if I had to jump in a well. Kamal Nathji never heard us," she said.

Another leader dismissed talks of being in touch with anyone and said that they are happy with the decision of Scindia, who joined the BJP earlier today. He had resigned from the Congress on Tuesday.
