Ke Apon Ke Por
Ke Apon Ke Por is a Bengali Drama series that airs on Star Jalsha and Star Jalsha HD at 7:30 PM every day. Pallabi Sharma plays the role of protagonist Joba having garnered momentous viewer appraisal. Bishwajit Ghosh plays Param, the other half of a well-loved screen-couple.
The show comes from Boyhood Productions, one of the leading production houses in Kolkata.
Ke Apon Ke Por focuses on the journey of a girl that started out as a domestic help and went on to establish herself as someone who’s well suited to be the daughter-in-law of the household and a Lawyer by profession. Alternatively, what forms the core of the show is also reflected in the beautiful love story between Joba and the son of the very affluent family, Param.
This story also brings to light the trials of a joint family where sons and daughters try to break away. Joba however, still tries to hold the family together. As parents try to build a family with a lot of love and care, sons and daughters grow up to be selfish and remain concerned only about parents’ money and property. As parents fear divisive tendencies in the family, circumstances get Param and Joba to tie the knot. Siblings rot over possibilities of paternal property going entirely to Joba and Param and eventually seize riches and drive the parents out. Param and Joba toil endlessly to hold pieces of the family together.
In the recent past, the story has taken a successful leap as Joba and Param face the bitter-sweet realities of being parents to kids that continue to grow up and grow apart. The show is also simultaneously establishing the position of Itu who happens to resemble Joba in more ways than one. Fate intervenes and Itu gets married to Sarthak, Joba and Param’s Son.

Polsheer House
Polsheer House is a historical house that successfully combines elements and details of three traditions in architecture: Iranian, Armenian, and Western, each dating back to a different period in Iranian history. In the later years of Qajar rule, the house served as the British General Consulate in Isfahan. Now, after a three-year restoration, it is the central headquarters of Polsheer Associates. Brick, tile, glass and canvas were all used in the restoration.
Project Title: Polsheer House
Date of Completion: June 2001
Location: Djolfa, Isfahan, Iran
Size: 711 square metres
Cost: US$100,000
Client: Dr Mohammead Reza Ghanei
Heritage Architect: Polsheer Architects Co
Contractor: Polsheer Architects Co
Polsheer House received "UNESCO Award of Merit" in 2002
The restoration of the 300-year-old traditional Iranian courtyard house demonstrates an exemplary conservation approach by remaining faithful to the original building. The project adhered to all aspects of best conservation practice, with the result that the existing historic building fabric is scrupulously maintained while the exquisite jewel-like interiors are restored to their original vibrancy. By choosing to adapt an old building for modern use, the project team is to be highly commended as their efforts set a technical benchmark for conservation and give momentum to private-sector conservation in Iran.
The 300-year-old House of Zovelian, registered on the Iranian Cultural Heritage list, was purchased by Polsheer Architects, Planners and Engineers in the late 1990s and renamed Polsheer house. Located in the Tabriziha neighbourhood in the ancient town of Isfahan, Polsheer House, with its distinctive spatial arrangement, elaborate decorative motifs and intricate details, is one of the most valuable examples of Iranian historic residential architecture.
At the time of purchase, due to age and neglect, the , courtyard building was in a state of decay. Much of the structure was in need of stabilization and repair as evidenced by the structural cracks in the walls and ceilings. Also, a number of inappropriate additions had been made to the structure over its history, diminishing its aesthetic and heritage value. Furthermore, the prominent and character-defining elements of the house, namely the decorative frescoes and other artworks, were faded or covered with grease and dirt.
The Polsheer company planned to ‘breathe new life into an old context’ by restoring the old residential building into a working space and transform a private space into a public domain. The main focus was on repair of the existing fabric and the integration of contemporary services within the elegant but delicate structure. The project took about three years to complete, although maintenance and upgrades will be ongoing.
Commencing in 1998, the conservation process involved the following works: elimination of inappropriate additions, strengthening of the building’s structure, repair of cracks in surfaces, control and elimination of destructive factors such as rising damp, restoration of frescoes and decorative details and the sensitive incorporation of modern services and facilities such as water and sewage systems.
In order to stabilize the structure and prevent further cracks, the building’s heavy mud roof coating was removed and steel reinforcements were inserted into the structure. The roof was then recoated with the traditional materials of mud and straw. Once this cause of instability and damage had been removed, the cracks of the walls and ceilings were repaired. Rising damp, which has been detrimental to the building’s fabric was rectified with the creation of channels around the house which would direct water away from the walls and foundations.
An important task was to restore the original layout of the building and replace inappropriate materials with traditional matter. For example, the concrete courtyard tiles were replaced with traditional bricks.
Experts of the Cultural Heritage Organization were invited to assist in the cleaning of the buildings decorative motifs and over a period of two years the wall paintings were restored to their former glory. In areas where frescoes or motifs had been plastered-over, the plaster layers were removed and the decorative artwork recovered.
Accomplished and financed entirely by Polsheer alone, the project has received praise from academics and from both local and foreign architects. Moreover, there is no doubt the restoration of the Polsheer house has revitalized the streetscape and is the first step in raising awareness in the community of the heritage value of historic buildings and their viability for modern uses.

Jane Manning James
Jane Elizabeth Manning James (May 11, 1813 – April 16, 1908), was one of the first recorded African-American women to live in Utah. She was a member of the Latter Day Saint Church. She lived with Joseph Smith and his family in Nauvoo, Illinois. She traveled with her husband to Utah, spending the winter of 1846–1847 at Winter Quarters. Winter Quarters was a camp where members of the church stayed during the winter. James asked the church leaders to be endowed and sealed. Endowment and sealing are special Mormon rituals for really good members. James was good enough for the rituals, but because she was black, church leaders said that she could not have the endowment. James kept asking, even though they said no. James was adopted as a servant into the Joseph Smith family through a specially created temple ceremony. After her death, she was endowed through another person in 1979.
In 1842, two LDS missionaries were preaching in the Wilton, Connecticut area. One of the missionaries was Charles Wesley Wandell. Ms. James' Presbyterian preacher told her that she could not meet with the missionaries. But she still wanted to listen to them. She wrote, "I went on a Sunday and was fully convinced that it was the true Gospel." James believed what they said. On the next Sunday, she was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She later met many friends with her new beliefs. James and her family wanted to live near other members of their new faith. So, a year later, James and eight other members of her family moved from Wilton to Nauvoo, Illinois. It was her mother, three brothers, two sisters, and a brother and sister-in-law that moved with her. Wandell helped the group of nine and some other Latter-Day Saints start their journey. But their group had to stay in Buffalo, New York, because they could not pay the ticket price of the train going to Ohio. To get to Ohio, James and her family walked about 800 miles (1287 km). In a book that was written about her life in 1893, James talked about their journey. She said that their shoes broke, their feet hurt and started to bleed. She said, "We walked until our shoes were worn out, and our feet became sore and cracked open and bled until you could see the whole print of our feet with blood on the ground." James and her family were welcomed to Nauvoo by the Prophet Joseph Smith. Over the next year, her family was able to build their own homes. But James lived with Joseph Smith's family in Nauvoo until Smith's death in 1844.
