[rohitrellan at aol.in]

Dear All 
 
BIM Trichy Alumni Association has been organizing events in various 
cities on topics that explore inter-disciplinary space  (POLIS – June 
09 on Politics, Music, Poetry and Cinema), Money (Feb 2008 on Money and 
economics, sociology, art and philosophy), Ganges ( Oct 2006 on 
cultural symbols) etc. 
 
Our next event is on exploring the concept of Modernity. I am enclosing 
a brief write up on the proposed event. We are looking for speakers for 
this event. As you may see in the write-up, we need 4 speakers (one 
each for 4 different topics – those who would like to relate Modernity 
and sin to music, history, paintings and art of conversation. 
 
I would request you to call me if you are interested or if you know 
someone who might be interested. 
 
  
 
Regards

Modern Times 
 
Sin – In thought word & action 
 
  
 
Modernity has always meant a break from the past. Curiously though the 
ways of past often re-appear in future as modern and hold generations 
in thrall however Modernity still remains an arrogant and ignorant 
derision of past by an over-confident present.  
 
A modern life is characterized primarily by its outlook towards family, 
society, 
money, religion, sex and God. This outlook is evocatively 
captured in various forms of art, history, music, philosophy ad most 
interestingly in general day to day conversation. 
 
Modern Times, the event, shall condense and contemporise, centuries of 
modernity and primitivism and create a heady concoction of Modern Times 
with art, history, music and art of conversation as ingredients. 
 
A riveting story of changing times and their remaining the same
