Kadri Nritya Vidyalaya celebrates Platinum jubilee

September 10, 2011

Mangalore, September 10: The three-day Platinum jubilee celebrations of the Kadri Nritya Vidyalaya began on a grand note on Friday. The three-hour programme showcased the rich tradition of Carnatic music and Bharatnatya.

V P Dhananjayan and his troupe from Chennai gave a fitting finale to the day's programme.

The celebrations began with the soulful renditions of songs by the students of the vidyalaya. The students began with the song, “Nee Nanna Geluvagi Baa”, in Hamsadhwani Raga. This was followed by rendition of the patriotic song, “Hacchevu Kannadada Deepa”, in Raga Desh. The senior students delightfully sang the Thaygaraja Keertana “Saamaja Varagama” in Raga Hindola.

The dance recital by U P Sharan and his brother U.P. Charan, grandsons of U.S. Krishna Rao, founder of Vidyalaya; Sharan, BE student, and Charan, a student of St. Aloysius College, was attractive. They presented a sequence from the Bhagawad Gita. Sharan played the role of Arjuna, while his younger brother Charan played Lord Krishna.

The hallmark of the day's event was the dance performance by 72-year-old V.P. Dhanajayan and his group from Chennai. He mesmerised the audience with the fine portrayal of “Dushyanta-Kaikaiyi” episode from the Ramayana. “We are honoured to perform on this stage,” Mr. Dhanajanyan said.

Newsroom, Feb 2: American business magnate Bill Gates has congratulated her daughter Jennifer Gates after she announced her engagement to her Muslim boyfriend Nayel Nassar.

“I am completely thrilled! Congratulations, @jenniferkgates and @nayelnassar”, commented the Microsoft boss to her daughter’s surprise Instagram story.

The proposal took place on a ski getaway. "Nayel Nassar, you are one of a kind. Absolutely swept me off my feet this past weekend, surprising me in the most meaningful location over one of our many shared passions," she wrote on Instagram. The pair does have one very significant shared passion - horses.

Nassar, 29, is a showjumper. Gates, 23, has famously grown up an equestrian, and has even competed against Steve Jobs' daughter.

In October, Nassar helped Egypt qualify for Tokyo 2020 - Egypt's first Olympic equestrian qualification in 60 years. He has been jumping since he was 10 years old and has the accolades to show for it - he has taken first place in a number of notable competitions, including the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup.

Nassar was born in Chicago to Egyptian parents and spent many of his formative years in Kuwait, where his well-to-do parents run an architecture and design firm, according to People. He is fluent in English, Arabic, and French.

He moved back to the US in 2009 and graduated from Stanford with an economics degree in 2013 - later, he supported Gates at her own Stanford graduation in 2018.

The couple received well wishes from many notable personalities on each of their Instagram posts, including comments from Bill and Melinda Gates, Georgina Bloomberg, and Eve Jobs.
