His father was working as a Senior Manager in HAL and is now retired and had various hobbies and Arjun always used to wonder how his father could concentrate on them while he was still working. His father inspired him to be a traveler and he has traveled to many places in India and Nepal with his father.His mother Mrs. Gayathri is a homemaker and a very good classical singer. This quality of hers attracted him towards Music and he plays Keyboard occasionally. \n During his childhood (probably when he was around 7-8 years of age)\, he used to accompany his uncle Mr H Satish who is a very famous wildlife photographer (is currently the president of the prestigious club Youth Photographic Society) during his bird watching trips. This particular exposure ignited his liking towards Nature. \nUnder his guidance he started pursuing photography from 2006-07 and the journey is still continuing. Though he has tried his hands in various genres\, it is Wildlife and Landscape photography that has had a special place in his heart. He has been trying Astro Photography recently\, and that too has a special impact on him.  \n He has won more than 175 awards in both National and International Salons from over 30 countries with over 1200 acceptances and some of his images are published in  many journals\, calendars and magazines. \nYou can follow his work here:\nArjun’s blog: http://arjunhaarith.blogspot.com/\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/arjun.haarith\nIG: https://www.instagram.com/arjun_haarith/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/ArjunHaarith \n\nLanguage: English \nCovid Protocol for the event\nWhile there are some relaxations to curfew times\, we are still required to follow all the precautions that the Government of Karnataka has prescribed.

Glassware\, water and smoke represent each of these states. Individually or in combination these three can be photographed in quite interesting ways. Add to this a pinch of imagination\, a whole new world begins to emerge. This new world is filled with lots of fun\, awe and a healthy dose of frustration too. The images you will get to see are Girish Mayachari’s  experiments with glassware\, water and smoke. \n « ‹ of 5 › » \n \nAbout the Speaker\nMr. Girish Mayachari\, AFIAP\, AFIP\, cMoL \n\n\n\nFascination for photography started at a very young age for Mr. Girish Mayachari. However it was only after he started working that he took his first steps in the world of photography. Being an avid trekker and a nature lover gave him ample opportunities to take his camera along and shoot what caught his eye. His  journey started with shooting landscapes\, wildlife\, birds and macro. As he keeps saying\, he is the cat that got killed. Consequently it was not long before he was trying his hand at other genres of photography like portraiture\, fashion\, table top / still life\, composites\, astro-photography and a slew of other genres too (assuming there are more). Currently he experiments with light painting which is keeping him occupied. He hopes this journey of learning continues. \nFollow Girish on Social:\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mountainlord19/\nIG: https://www.instagram.com/girishm19/ \n\n\n\n\nLanguage: English \nDo join us on 05 Mar\, 2022\, 5:30 pm IST on Google Meet at the usual coordinates \nAlso request you to join the session 15 mins in prior to check your audio and video functionality. \nThe session starts at sharp 5.30 PM IST \nHere is how to participate: \nClick here or visit the below Google Meet Link on the day of the event\nGoogle Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/jgi-npbe-sjt \nIn case of any issues in connecting to the meeting\, request to please call us on our official number by clicking here or simply dial: +91 9513-YPS-BLR (+91 9513-977-257) \nYou can also WhatsApp us by clicking here (or on the icon below) or by sending a WhatsApp message on the above mentioned official number. \n \nNote: Registration is NOT necessary and look forward to seeing you all this Saturday at 5:15 PM IST. \n\nSome salient features of YPS Saturday Meets: \n\nExclusively for Members.\nHear and be heard – These are interactive sessions and not talk shows.\nDiscuss and learn from real Member Pictures for absolute learning for every one.\nOpinion from experts and knowledge from everyone who wants to share.\n\nSome Google Meet Self-Disciplines to be followed to make the experience memorable for everyone: \n\nDo not interrupt when something is being presented.

The more I wish to describe the mystics of Banaras\, the more I fall short of words. Then you know how most of your deepest experiences go unexpressed. Being a Photographer is a Blessing. It has given me a Tool to use to make people see the unseen. Each of my Pictures on Banaras and its vibrant life is a Story\, a Narrative.  \nThe Daily Life of Banaras is Unique in itself. The human activities seen here are typical of this place. All these provide immense subject for a photographer and has become a reason for an inflow of a huge number of photographers to come here and shoot. Banaras is one of the most picturized cities of the World. \nI have been clicking Banaras for the last 3 decades and till date\, it is almost a weekly ritual to move around with my Camera capturing with all the passion the various aspects of this fast changing city. When some people ask me what is it that I find so interesting in the lanes\, the Ghats\, the Ganges\, Fairs and festivals\, and the pandemic period also that I keep taking so many pictures (over 10 lakhs till date).  \nTo this I tell them that it is a Love affair between me and Banaras that doesn’t cease. Instead it is growing deeper with each passing day and every day I look at my city\, I find it to be as new as ever.” \n « ‹ of 6 › » \n \nTo join the session\n\nFaceBook:\n1.

Manish Khattry has been contributing to society from the age of 16 when his cartoons found a regular place in a leading daily newspaper. Since then\, it has been a journey\, where he has devoted himself completely to the creative world comprising art\, literature\, music\, and culture. Having Introduced computers as a recognized medium of art for the first time in India in 1994\, he trained around 3000 students and got their works of Computer Painting exhibited in various art galleries including Lalit Kala Academy\, New Delhi. \nPhotography captured his interest for a reason: his desire to know and then show the beauty in the antiquity of Banaras to the World. The rich culture and heritage of this City has attracted him and inspired to click it for a decade. Today\, he has a collection of more than 10 lakh pictures of Varanasi portraying its various facets of architecture\, daily life\, fairs and festivals\, food and craft\, etc. The thought behind is also to preserve the ‘real’ contemporary Banaras through his lens and prints in this very fast-changing world.

For the past three decades\, he has been winning the hearts of the public through his exemplary stage performance. He has performed over 10\,000 shows throughout India and has trained thousands of students for the past 18 years in the art of Yakshagana through his Gaana Sourabha Yakshagana School in Bengaluru. He is among the few who has strived to preserve and propagate this centuries old art form. He has received Nadaprabhu Kempegowda award\, Karavali Utsava award\, Basavaratna award\, Yakshashree and Honorary doctorate for his service in Yakshagana. \nDr. Shivakumar was born on 1st June\, 1969\, and acquired mastery over Yakshagana under the guidance of Gnanpeetha awardee Dr. Shivarama Karantha\, Shri. Neelavara Ramakrishnaiah and Shri. Heranjalu Venkataramana. He excels in Tenkuthittu and Badaguthittu style of Yakshagana. He is well known for portrayal of female character roles like Seetha\, Mohini\, Chitrangada\, Kunti etc. \nWhen he was a child\, he performed the role of Manmatha in the play Rathi Kalyana\, staged in Begar. Greatly influenced by this performance\, he joined the Yakshagana learning center in Udupi. Dr. Shivakumar was one among the 10 students who got selected by Kota Shivarama Karantha at the Udupi Yakshagana center in 1982. He had then just completed his primary education. After the 10 months course\, he joined Mulki troupe and performed Balagopala dance. As he was a very young boy\, he found it difficult to adjust to the troupe environment. So he started working at a fruit stall. But after a few months\, the passion for the art form persuaded him to re-start his career and continued to perform at many plays across the country. \nHe served as manager for a decade from 1985 to 1995 at Amrutheshwara Pravasi Yakshagana Mandali. He then moved to Bengaluru and set up his own organization – Gaana Sourabha Yakshagana School and started training students in Yakshagana\, along with the musical instruments like chande and maddale.
