GIEVE PATEL IS THE POET LAUREATE FOR LITERATURE LIVE! THE MUMBAI LITFEST 2022.

              GIEVE PATEL IS THE POET LAUREATE FOR LITERATURE LIVE! 
                                               THE MUMBAI LITFEST 2022

Gieve Patel, one of India’s best regarded poets in English, will be the Poet Laureate of the 13th Tata Literature Live! The Mumbai LitFest 2022. His verse is familiar to all poetry-loving Indians. He has published three books of poems, a book of plays, and his work has appeared in several anthologies. 

Poet, playwright, painter, sculpture and physician, Gieve Patel is a well-known personality in the fields of arts and medicine, which he has practised in both rural and urban India.  He is deeply engaged in society, not only as a doctor but also a teacher.

Gieve Patel’s poetry likewise spans the myriad aspects of life. He is acutely concerned about the environment and many of his poems are focused on the beauty, fragility and vulnerability of nature and the urgent need to protect it. His work also ranges beyond nature to reflections on the human condition, with intense compassion for the deprived and downtrodden. He has a keen sense of atmosphere, and his poems are suffused with analogies from urban and rural life and medical life, with the human body as a recurring metaphor. His wide-ranging observations of life are often laced with a wry touch of humour. Some of his best known poems reflecting these attributes include On Killing A Tree, Post Mortem, From Bombay Central, Old Man’s Death, Bombay’s Own. 

Accepting the Poet Laureateship for Tata Literature Live! The Mumbai LitFest 2022, Gieve Patel said, I feel deeply honoured to be named Poet Laureate of the Tata Literature Live! The Mumbai Litfest. Many of us turn to poetry at important moments in our lives: when we fall in love, when we suffer a great loss, when we discover spiritual dimensions in ourselves that we were unaware of before. We also turn to poetry for the sheer joy of it. It is wonderful to be part of the Mumbai Litfest's tradition of celebrating poetry.”

Director of the Festival, Amy Fernandes said, “It’s a real privilege to have Gieve Patel, a most gifted and popular poet - but equally accomplished painter, sculptor and doctor - as our Poet Laureate for Tata Literature Live! The Mumbai LitFest 2022. He is renowned as much as an artiste as he is as a medical professional, and in the depth and range of his multi-layered life, talent, interests and achievements, he perfectly reflects the ethos of our Litfest where we present not only literature but also the best in language and writing in a range of other subjects.”

Commending the contribution of the Poet Laureate, Mr Harish Bhat, Brand Custodian, Tata Sons said, “A poet, physician, playwright, and painter, Mr. Patel is a known all-rounder. His poems have shaped modern Indian poetry and added considerable value to Indian literature. With much gratitude we present this year’s Tata Literature Live! Poet Laureate title to Mr. Gieve Patel for his exceptional contribution to Indian poetry and look forward to hosting him at the festival.”

Previous Tata Literature Live! Poet Laureates include Adil Jussawalla, Javed Akhtar, K. Satchidanandan, Jayanta Mahapatra, Gulzar, Keki Daruwalla, Vikram Seth, and Joy Goswami

Hydrating is now healthier than ever! India’s first protein water venture, ‘Aquatein’ has completely changed the narrative of how patrons envision the act of merely drinking water.

Protein is a major nutrient the brand has managed to simplify successfully. Adhering to that, Aquatein has diversified its product lineup for the upcoming season. Aquatein’s mission is to create waters that are sealed with numerous nutrients helping us cope with the gaps in our day-to-day life as easily as sipping water.

Extracted from the fresh streams of the Himalayas Aquatein is also introducing “AQUA ORIGINS” The pristine waters of the Himalayas, are one of the purest origins in India. Aquatein’s goal was to not only bring the Himalayan water to the customers but also the story of the Himalayas with their one-of-a-kind bottle of water designed to place the story right in the palm of your hands through which you can not only see it but feel it. Witness the story, feel the elements, and taste the purity of the Himalayas through Aqua Origins.

The drinks are made with real fruit juice, with no added sugar, colours, or flavours. Infused with 5G of pure protein with essential amino acids and zero preservatives, it is indeed the right pick for your kid’s hydration needs. Not only this, but the protein drink is available in four different flavours, ranging from berries, orange, and lemon to mix fruit. It also contains added vitamins to aid in boosting the immune system, stronger bones, and overall growth. Keeping up with the times and increasing health concerns, the new beverages are lactose and gluten-free which further helps in better nutrition and energy levels.

Producer Gaurang Doshi and Vivek Oberoi duped for crores by con mastermind Raadhika Pratap Nanda and Sanjay Saha of Anandita Entertainment LLP/ Mumbai Medley who were recently arrested in Mumbai

Producer Gaurang Doshi and Vivek Oberoi duped for crores by con mastermind Raadhika Pratap Nanda and Sanjay Saha of Anandita Entertainment LLP/ Mumbai Medley who were recently arrested in Mumbai

Ace producer Gaurang Doshi who was recently in the news for bringing together the biggest names of Hollywood & Bollywood for two music videos ft. Lil Pump, Yo Yo Honey Singh, Jason Derulo, Urvashi Rautela, Erica Fernandez & DJ Shadow Dubai for the promotional tracks of his multi-starrer crime thriller web series - '7th Sense' was conned by Raadhika Pratap Nanda & Sanjay Saha of Anandita Entertainment in the pretext of his web series '7th Sense' & multiple big budget films which later turned out to be fake. Not only Gaurang, even Vivek Oberoi have fallen prey to this atrocious con.

The complainants, Gaurang Doshi & Vivek Oberoi have alleged that they were trapped into an investment scheme floated by Raadhika Pratap Nanda & Sanjay Saha of Anandita Entertainment Llp. Both Raadhika & Sanjay lured Gaurang to spend an exorbitant sum of 1 crore 55 lakhs. Raadhika & Sanjay claimed that they have 8 renowned Bollywood writers on board whereas none of the named writers were associated with the said project, it turned out to be a fake, non- existent project. Apart from 1 crore 55 lakhs, both Raadhika Pratap Nanda & Sanjay Saha asked Gaurang to send luxury gifts involving brands like Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior to a number of renowned names working with a global OTT platform as a goodwill gesture to fast track the process. It was later discovered that all the gifts didn’t reach the desired receiver, it was received by Raadhika & Sanjay.

After an extensive enquiry on the Raadhika Pratap Nanda & Sanjay Saha it was discovered that the two have conned multiple people in the past after promising them their designated roles in the project. They have also conned many innocent artists from the film industry & taken monetary advantage of them. A source reveals they have been involved in multiple tax frauds and non-payment to employees and vendors as well in the past and have been switching company names under different registrations in order to avoid taxes. There are already 39 existing petitions filed against them and many more would follow as and when the victims will reveal about their fraud activities.


Elaborating further about the con, Gaurang Doshi says "I was introduced to Sanjay and Raadhika through my dear friend Vivek who unfortunately didn't know that even he is also a mere victim of their con activities. They made several fake rather convincing commitments which looked very fancy in the initial days but as the days passed and I was not getting any results for the huge amount of money and other investments I had paid for, their true colours started to reveal. It came to my notice that they were trying to sell the project to other people and OTT platforms by removing my name and claiming it's their project. When questioned they started with ignoring the calls and later blocked numbers feeling there was no way to reach out to them. Fortunately our industry is like a happy family and frauds like them don't have a place in this. Gradually I started hearing from other people about the cons they had played with them and the amount of money they had taken and later blocked the contacts. May justice prevail upon all who have been cheated by them and no one else has to go through the trauma they cause in one's life. For no rime or reason my project was delayed and negativity was spread despite me being the victim of their criminal activities. All's well that ends well, karma will serve all who have done wrong and tried to sabotage my name just to fill their pockets"

Vivek Oberoi says “It saddens me deeply to see the immense extent of their fraud. When you believe in people who come to you asking for support and help and they end up defrauding you with the intent to cheat not only you but other innocent people using your name, it’s truly disturbing. It is disgusting to hear that unsuspecting investors were baited through calls and websites with lofty promises and then duped of their savings. Even simple employees were cheated out of their hard earned salaries. I’m sure justice will prevail, the system will punish them for their crimes and the universe will punish them for their bad karma"
