 Cyanotype Workshop.........A Historic Photographic Printing Process with Kiran Kallur

Sun 30th Nov ‘25 10:30 am - 1:30 pm
Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that dates back to 1842, discovered by scientist Sir John Herschel. It was famously used by botanist Anna Atkins, who created the first photographic book using cyanotype prints of plants. The process involves coating paper with a light-sensitive solution, placing objects or negatives on top, and exposing them to sunlight. When developed with water, the images appear in a striking blue hue.
Kiran Kallur is a photographer and mountaineer with over a decade of experience in photography, filmmaking, and alternative photographic processes. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Al Jazeera, and other international publications, capturing stories from the mountains and remote landscapes.

Mohammed Rizlan back in the Qatar squad for ICC T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier B in Doha


 Mohammed Rizlan back in the Qatar squad for  ICC T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier B in Doha

 

Mohammed Rizlan back in the Qatar squad for  ICC T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier B in Doha after a gap of more than one year.

 

In the two matches, he has failed to impress scoring in single digits (1 and 6) against Thailand and Bhutan and  but the 39-year-old will fight back in the remaining matches.

 

He last played for Qatar in April 2023.

 

Turn back and this is what we had said when he was dropped after the April 2023 tournament.

Is Mohammed Rizlan dropped from the Qatar team?????


Rizlan captained the Qatar team in the last tournament Hopefully cricket fans have not seen the last of the 38-year-old.


If Himashu Rathod can make his debut at 36 and won the man of the match award then Rizlan can certain live up to the expectations of the fans


Age is certainly not a criteria to drop him, if has been dropped on those grounds or is that something which is not known to us, only Rizlan and the selectors know.


Mind you Mohammed Tanveer at aged 42 is the oldest player in the team and was the top scorer in the Qatar innings against Bahrain and how he made it to the team is another untold story.


There are a few Qatar debutants who are in the early 30's who have made his debut in Friday-Saturday T 20 match.


That all for the age ......selections.One needs to honour the players contribution to the game ask him to gracefully step down.....the transition should be smooth, and one of mutual respect.


Hopefully Rizlan will make his bat talk again and prove once again that age does not matter and it is just a number.


So let’s play straight and with the full face of the bat and send the ball all along the carpet past the bowler all the way to the boundary.


Another ball, another innings, another match.....players come and players go,,,,but how we treat them and give them respect is important.


That distinguishes us whether we are gentleman playing the gentlemen's game or something else.
