Pictures speak. So do cartoons. They pass on a message wrapped in humour. IRFAN, a promising young political cartoonist who has carved a niche for himself, excels in conveying serious messages through hilarious drawings. Irfan is a TV host for Zee Online and hosts a show called Shakhsiyat (personalities). He exhibited his cartoons–Catch With Fun–in Delhi’s India Habitat Centre last month. Pure at heart, he did not mean to hurt our cricketers but drew our attention to the real scene behind the game of gentlemen which had a fall from grace along with upcoming maligning charges of betting, not batting. His 32 cartoons, all related to cricket, spoke of the fact. "The objective behind the exhibition was not to malign cricket but just to highlight the fact", said Irfan.

Born on April 30, 1967, S SALAHUDDIN belongs to a respected family of Delhi which traces its origin from Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh. A great fan of legendary singer Mohammad Rafi, Salahuddin’s natural dulcet voice reminds us of the immortal tenor of Mohammad Rafi. The young, promising singer has won more than a dozen awards and prizes and has established his name in the category of brilliant stars in the field of music. His latest recorded cassette Mere Seene Main Kaaba was recently released in Delhi. Recorded by R. Vision Music Pvt. Ltd. New Delhi, the cassette has been produced by Ravindra Singh. Slahuddin’s earlier albums Rahmat-e-Ramzan and Yeh Kavarya Diwane were greatly applauded. Mere Seene Mein Kaaba Hai, the first ghazal, touches hearts and sounds good to the ear. Kamli Wale Ke Sadqe Mein Yarab leaves behind an unforgettable echo. An imaginative story at side B of the album seems true to the core. It is a rare gift for music lovers. A good collection for the month of Ramadhan for those willing to hear sound music in sound voice.
