From Humble beginnings to Grandeur personified........

In a recently concluded pagent, namely the SEABUZZ PAGENT, which spanned over almost an entire year, we saw talent emerge from all walks of life and age groups, reflecting the vision on the Seabuzz group. A social media networking group, which started a few years ago, by Ms. Manali Kamat, from a modest number of members, stands tall today with over 52 thousand members, providing a platform of equal opportunity, with no gender discrimination.

The pagent saw a large number of Contestants compete under different categories (Male & Female). With complete adherance to the Pandemic restrictions, the initial screening and elimination of the contestants was done online. Contestants were given online training on health, fitness, mass communication, grooming and a lot more.

It was time for the FINALE. Keeping the gathering limitations in mind, the event was well attended, with the Who's Who and Celebrities sitting in as judges.
Capt. Christopher Verma, a Shipping entrepreneur, business leader, author and well established Motivational speaker and Coach, proved beyond doubt that "age was just a number". He walked talk bagging the prestigious awards of Best Smile, Best Fitness, Most Popular and the Top award of 
Mr.Seabuzz in his category.
The contest saw winners in their own respective gender/category bringing down the curtains to a very impressive talent contest.

In a statement given, Capt. Chris Verma said that over the coming year he will strive to make Seabuzz into, not just a platform known in Maharashtra, but across India and Globally. His desire is to embark into the modelling industry as well as small / big screen acting, a dream that remained unfulfilled from childhood.
Kudos to you Capt for showing and proving that age is but a number and when you drive your passion, life becomes limitless.
BRAVO

Choreographer Sumit Khetan on his struggles with hypothyroidism: I know I’ll overcome... I’m determined to not stop working

Choreographer Sumit Khetan on his struggles with hypothyroidism: I know I’ll overcome... I’m determined to not stop working
 
For a dancer, it is believed that fitness is the key. Sumit Khetan also agrees with the same. However, at the moment he is going through a personal struggle. The eminent wedding choreographer has been diagnosed with thyroid and has put on a lot of weight. 

“Fitness is one of the most integral parts in the life of a dancer. But, sadly, I have not been able to keep myself fit of late. I obviously used to be healthy at some point of time but I've now got thyroid because of that my entire schedule and lifestyle has changed. I have put on a lot of weight and definitely I have been facing a lot of challenges from the time I've put on weight, but I've not stopped,” he says.  Not one to give up easily, recently, he earned appreciation for his choreography and presentation for singer Rahul Vaidya and Disha Parmar’s much-talked about wedding.  “I know I will overcome these things and I am determined to not stop working. To be honest, dance has got nothing to do with whether you are fat or slim. It's technically the spirit of dancing that should burn within you. But, of course, being fitter and slimmer helps you perform better, do stunts, lifts and jumps. So I think yes it is important to be fit but you need to have the right spirit to excel,” adds Sumit, who has choreographed for Bigg Boss and The Kapil Sharma Show, have worked with actors like Ayushmann Khurrana, Sunny Leone, Vaani Kapoor, Ritvik Dhanjani, Nakul Mehta and Ruslaan Mumtaz and several other eminent politicians, businessmen, among others.
 
 
In fact, in future he plans to have his own reality show. He reveals, “I want to produce my own reality show based on dancing. Since I am a wedding choreographer, this reality show would have something to do with weddings where people get to see how creative the wedding choreography can be. Also I just cherish the love and blessing I get from the people from the occasion.”

मुम्बई के जिन्ना हाउस को अधिग्रहित करके कल्चरल सेंटर स्थापित करने की प्रक्रिया शीध्र शुरू की जाए - श्री मंगल प्रभात लोढ़ा

मुम्बई, दिनांक 20 जुलाई 2021

मुंबई: भारतीय जनता पार्टी के मुंबई अध्यक्ष व विधायक श्री मंगल प्रभात लोढ़ा ने आज नई दिल्ली में केंद्रीय गृह मंत्री श्री अमित शाह से मुलाकात करके मलबार हिल विधानसभा क्षेत्र में स्थित जिन्ना हाउस को अधिग्रहित कर उसमें प्रस्तावित, साउथ एशिया सेंटर फॉर आर्ट एंड कल्चर सेंटर स्थापित करने की प्रक्रिया शुरू करने का निवेदन किया।

उन्होंने इस संदर्भ में गृह मंत्री अमित शाह को एक पत्र सौंपा। गृहमंत्री को लिखे पत्र में श्री मंगल प्रभात लोढ़ा ने कहा है कि उनके विधानसभा क्षेत्र में स्थित,भारत विभाजन की याद दिलाने वाला जिन्ना हाउस आजादी के बाद से ही उजड़ा पड़ा है। आजादी के पहले मोहम्मद अली जिन्ना ने 10 वर्षों तक इसी भवन में बैठकर भारत के तीन टुकड़े करने का षड्यंत्र रचा था। ऐसे में जिन्ना भवन भारत के विभाजन की दुखद स्मृतियों की याद दिलाता है। 

पत्र में कहा गया है कि भारत सरकार ने वर्ष 2017 में 49 साल पुराने शत्रु संपत्ति अधिनियम में सुधारित करके संशोधन कर दिया है कि भारत के विभाजन के समय पाकिस्तान में जाकर बस गए लोगों की संपत्ति पर उनके वारिसों या रिश्तेदारों का कोई हक नहीं होगा। उस संपत्ति पर भारत सरकार का हक होगा। सरकार अब ऐसी 9280 संपत्तियों को नीलाम करने जा रही है। जिन्ना हाउस की जगह, साउथ एशिया सेंटर फॉर आर्ट एंड कल्चर सेंटर स्थापित करने की योजना प्रस्तावित है। जिन्ना हाउस के मुख्य दरवाजे पर इस आशय का एक बोर्ड भी लगा हुआ है। श्री मंगल प्रभात लोढ़ा ने गृह मंत्री श्री अमित शाह जी से अधिग्रहण एवम निर्माण प्रक्रिया जल्द शुरु करने का निवेदन किया है।

Rocking Number''

''Rocking Number'' 

                                 His name is Number. Yes that’s his name and must say this Number rocks. Originally from Delhi, Number spent his childhood shuttling between Saudi Arabia and India. At the age of 14, Number migrated to the United Kingdom and since then he’s been living there. He obtained his Mechanical Engineering honours degree from the University of Portsmouth.   
          
                    Since his childhood he had a strong inclination towards music. While at boarding school in Nainital he was the part of school choir. When he came to the UK his love for music grew more and more.  He began gathering all kinds of music instruments and machines. What started out as a hobby later became his passion. This passion inspired him to release his own songs and as a result of which music lovers got two songs from him. ''Reboot'' and ''El Groove'' which were both very well received. This positive response from music lovers drove him to be more serious about music. 

                     When talking  about his passion he says,''i believe that music finds it's way to where it is needed. My own music compositions and lyrics have kept me afloat through some tough waves. I like to make music wherever and whenever i find inspiration. At the moment my past two releases can be classified as a mix of Pop and Rap in an Indian format and i am very happy with the response to my songs''. 
    

                 Although he is away from India, but Number is well connected with Bollywood music. When asked about the current musical scenario of Bollywood  he said , “Bollywood is a home to many of the world's greatest singers and composers. I think there is a wave of nostalgia going through at the moment as Bollywood is flooded with remix songs. Most songs from the golden days of the entertainment industry are being remixed to serve the interests of the youth today. Remixes are nice and remind us of the talent that helped  shape Bollywood into what it is today but i feel there is a space and need for something new and more. Good music will always be loved by all ''. 

              He also watches music based reality shows regularly. Giving his opinion about reality shows he says,''i have never actively participated in any musical or talent related reality show.but i like watching them and i think there is too much untapped talent in India and reality shows are a good platform for such talent''.   

               Although the entertainment industry was badly hit by the pandemic and music industry suffered too, Number is positive about the future of the music industry. With high hopes he says,''the pandemic has humbled us in different ways and now it's the music that is helping all to stay entertained and sane. Music is helpful to lift spirits and spread happiness. Indian music has always been more about the expression of emotions and now coming out of this pandemic, i think we need to look out for many new compositions from new and existing artists. Music is the best healer and it will play a big role to add cheer in the common man's life''. 
 
            Can a singer-composer like Number remain away from Bollywood? He replied,''i watch Hindi films and l love Hindi songs be it new or old. If an offer comes from Bollywood to score the music for film i would say it would be an honour to be considered for this kind of work. If i am asked, my personal choice will be to score music for dark, fantasy or fiction related theme. May be few romantic numbers but not many. I know that i can perform very well for any kind of uplifting or revolutionary based song. This is because i happen to know many inspirational people who represent change. My parents are a prime example of such an existence'' he concludes.
