The mission of the DEFA Foundation is to preserve the films of DEFA, the former East German film studios, and oversee their use for the public good as part of Germany's national cultural heritage. For Infinite Opportunities, the German Year in India, DEFA has brought a series of films from their archive to several Indian cities, which illustrate the social, political and historical implications of the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall during the 20th century. The retrospective explores in particular how the wall, to this day, epitomizes various kinds of artificial barriers, literal or otherwise, separating people around the globe.
The program commenced with the screening of the film 'The Invisible Frame' followed by the release of the book 'The Tale of My Exile - Twelve Years in the Andamans'. A power point presentation by Prof. Mohanty which mainly focussed about the life of Barindra Kumar Ghose followed the release.
An introduction to the book by Dr. Vithal Rajan, readings of a few passages from the book by Prof. Mohan Ramanan, Shankar Melkote, Vijay Marur and Uma Magal, and finally a vote of thanks by Mr. Subba Rao from Sri Aurobindo Society Hyderabad followed.
The programme continued with the screening of the film 'The Architects' .

aunch of Ahmed Fiayaz’s book SCAMMED - Confessions of a Confused Accountant.

*** About Scammed: Life is miserable for Hitesh Shah, despite his coveted job in a top accounting firm. Labeled a nerd by colleagues, ignored by women and rebuked by parents, Hitesh cannot resist when offered a lucrative job as the CEO of an off shoot of the failing automobile company, Supreme Motors. So what if the owner Venugopal Reddy, a sleazy businessman with political connections, actually wants Hitesh to fix the company to save his skin? Hitesh’s drive and quest for success helps turn the Company’s fortunes around; he is seen a rising corporate star, he begins dating a model and is pampered by parents. Championed as the poster boy of emerging India, Hitesh’s fairy tale ends quickly. As his cursed luck would have it, he is soon on the run from the law – allegedly as the perpetrator of a financial scam and accused of defrauding thousands of investors! With his back against the wall, and growing public and media opinion against him, will Hitesh come out of the mess he finds himself in? About the Author: Ahmed Faiyaz grew up in Bangalore and now lives in Dubai. He's a strategist by profession, with a number of years in management consulting behind him.
