Bollywood’s Dilip Sen, Actress Mahi Sharma And Shivaji Shendge Arrived To Congratulate Mohan Nair’s Play BHASMANCHAL...

Mumbai. Recently, social worker and founder of Maharani organization Mohan Nair staged the play Bhasmanchal at Vishnudas Bhave Natyagruh Vashi, Navi Mumbai.

The play Bhasmanchal focuses on the way children are currently behaving with their parents. An attempt is being made to bring awareness among the youth through this play.

On the occasion of the staging of the play, many special guests including Bollywood musician Dilip Sen, actress Mahi Sharma (Kumkum Bhagya and Prithviraj Chauhan show fame), Shivaji Agyan Shendge, Shiv Sena Shikshak Sena Maharashtra Rajya Sarchitnis, social worker Simi Nair were present.

The concept of the play is of Mohan Nair and he has written the script and the director is Harshal Rane.

Mohan Nair said that parents send their children out of the country for higher education, due to which their culture changes. Children get lost in a life of luxury. Their feelings for their parents become zero and finally they are sent to old age homes.

Mohan Nair said that we also run an old age home and keep inspecting it from time to time.

Music director Dilip Sen said that it is necessary to give values to children from childhood. They should be brought up according to our culture and taught manners.

In today’s time, first of all, children should be controlled. Support of parents is necessary but there should be a limit to the freedom given. Those children who go out and settle down in their own world forgetting the love of their parents, they should think that one day we will also become parents and we may see such a day in the future.

When the mother-in-law of this play Nana Kamble passed away, he came on stage and acted and later went home.

Dilip Sen praised Mohan Nair’s charitable work and congratulated him for preparing an inspiring play for the youth and said that he would gift a song and music for this play.

This play will be staged for the public on September 5 at Vishnudas Bhave Natyagruh Vashi, Navi Mumbai. This play includes various colors of life including emotion, drama, dance.

Let us tell you that Maharani Sangathan has renovated the old age home and this organization is engaged in serving the destitute elderly.

More than 500 volunteers of this organization are actively working all over India. The volunteers of the organization go to the old age home and do service work, take care of the elderly and prepare various types of dishes for them.

She neither wears a crown nor sits on the throne, but she is – and will always be – Maharani. She is our mother, Amma, Ammi, Aai — the woman who gave us life, nurtured us and shaped our personalities. Yet, when her steps slow and her needs become soft, society turns its back. Today she is in an old age home — not by choice, but by circumstance.

Maharani is not just a name — it is a movement, a spirit, a tribute to every forgotten mother.

Mr. Mohan Nair, after suffering the pain of personal loss and seeing the suffering of mothers in old age homes, founded Maharani.

What began as an emotional response has today become a growing force. With a core team of 20 dedicated people and the passion of 500+ youth across the country, Maharani is relentlessly working to transform the lives of elderly women and orphans — not with pity, but with respect, love and joy.

From improving living facilities to skill training, fulfilling the desire to visit temples to enjoying the food of one’s liking – Maharani’s work is holistic and from the heart. Moments of joy in orphanages, medical assistance, emotional support and building sustainable communities are its soul.

To expand this objective and to ignite deep discussions in society, Mr. Mohan Nair, a literary and theatre personality, presents “Bhasmanchal” – a soul-stirring play that highlights the lives of abandoned elderly mothers.

The grand premiere of the play will be on Monday, 25th August 2025, at 8:00 pm, at Vishnudas Bhave Natyagruha, Vashi.

The Chief Guest on the occasion will be Mr. Shivaji Shinge, and eminent dancers and social workers Simi Nair, Mahi Sharma, Dilip Sen and many other dignitaries.

“Bhasmanchal” is not just a play – it is a call to awaken the soul. Every ticket, every applause, every support — directly fuels Maharani’s mission — to restore dignity, care and purpose in life to abandoned mothers and orphaned children.

CONEX South 2025 To Add Fresh Momentum To South India’s Infrastructure Push...

Chennai, August 18, 2025 — As Tamil Nadu and its neighbours accelerate the development of highways, metro corridors, logistics hubs and industrial parks, CONEX South 2025 will provide a timely, execution-focused marketplace for the industry. The launch edition runs 28–30 August 2025 at the Chennai Trade Centre, spread across 10,000+ sqm with 110+ leading brands—including major OEMs such as JCB India, Action Construction Equipment, Tata Hitachi, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment, Bull Machines, Propel Industries, Puzzolana, Ammann and more—showcasing construction machinery, building-material machines, mining equipment and construction vehicles.

Organised by Messe Muenchen India, in partnership with the Tamil Nadu Highways Contractors Federation (TNHCF) and supported by Guidance Tamil Nadu as State Partner, the fair is designed around South India’s job-site realities—shorter evaluation cycles, side-by-side comparisons, and live demonstrations tailored to local terrain and climate.

Underscoring the sector’s importance, Thiru M.K. Stalin, Honourable Chief Minister, Government of Tamil Nadu, will inaugurate the fair on 28 August at 5:00 PM. Thiru E.V. Velu, Honourable Minister for Public Works (Buildings, Highways & Minor Ports), Government of Tamil Nadu, will grace the occasion as Guest of Honour, alongside senior leaders from TNHCF and the Tamil Nadu Construction Equipment Owners Association.

What visitors can expect

• 110+ brands across earthmoving & road equipment, concrete production & handling, mining & crushing, heavy transport & lifting, and smart construction technologies

• Technical Conference with IOCL: “Bitumen & Road Engineering: From Plant Energy to Pavement Performance”
• A spec-to-site buying journey that helps contractors, EPCs and developers translate conversations into decisions

The timing is apt. With a ₹1-lakh-crore-plus project pipeline in Tamil Nadu alone, delivery pressures are rising coupled with labour scarcity, productivity gaps, safety compliance and cost control. Exhibitors will answer with mechanisation, telematics, fuel-efficiency upgrades, faster batching and paving systems, modular materials, and job-site digitisation—solutions that directly impact time, cost and quality. Expect strong participation from public works, highways and smart-city teams, giving suppliers access to decision-makers while visitors gain visibility into upcoming requirements.

“Partnering with Messe Muenchen India gives our contractors a world-class yet local platform. It brings OEMs, service teams and buyers together in Chennai, reduces trial-and-error on site, and helps us adopt proven, supportable solutions faster,” says M. Thirusangu, President, TNHCF, noting that contractors will benefit from hands-on access to machines, materials and methods.
