Critical Commentary
A short clip of music composer Ankur Tewari (of Gully Boy) sings a song Dhuan Dhuan Si Zindagi (Life in Smoke) written and composed by him. The chorus is: "Garam hawaein hain chali/ aankhein hain jali jali/socha na tha/ aisi hogi/ dhuan dhuan si zindagi..." (Searing winds/my eyes burn/never thought/this is how it will be/a life in smoke)
The clip has two lines from the song: "Raaton ki bhi yehi kahani/dhuan dhuan si zindagi..." (Every night tells a story too/Of a life in smoke)
Images from the exhibition are presented in a slideshow in the background.
