HEN your name itself speaks

all that you stand for, then
your job is already half done.
For Indian fashion designer
Pallavi Jaipur, her name is not just a
representation of the city that
she is from but a symbol of
everything that she stands for.
A representation of her roots,
culture and style is what her
fashion label is about.
Jaipur was one of the
many exceptional talents
that the Shop Qatar Festival
brought to Doha through their
fashion shows and events.
Jaipur not only showcased
her collection of exemplary
outfits during the Bollywood
Fashion show but she also had
pop-up shops at popular malls
in Doha in celebration of the
Bollywood week.
“This is my first visit to Pallavi Jaipur
Doha, and I’m here with my
artists and craftsmen. We did live dem-
onstrations of handmade embroidery at
the Gate Mall, The Villaggio, Gulf Mall,
Hyatt Plaza and others. We opened pop-
up shops and demonstrated live embroi-

workshop to promote Indian craftsman-

Her pop-up stores also had hand-
crafted goods like scarves, stoles, the very
traditional batuas, bags and embroidered
earrings for sale.
Jaipur followed up her pop-up shops
with a fantastic show of her latest collec-

tion, ‘The Jaipur Princess’ at the Bollywood
Fashion show held at the Mondrian Doha.
Her designs were a fusion of traditional
aesthetics with a very modern silhouette.
“The Jaipur Princess is about me and
any girl who lives in the beautiful, pink city
of Jaipur. I feel any girl who lives in the city
should feel like a princess and that is what
I’ve tried to portray through my collection.”
Jaipur’s fashion story begins in Jaipur,
Rajasthan, in Northern India, where she
grew up. The city is rich in heritage and
culture and is known for its unique hand-
crafted textiles and fabrics.
“Growing up in Jaipur amongst all the
colourful people, the buzz of the fabrics
and textiles made me want to do some-
thing. I always loved clothes and used
to dress myself and also my friends. My
friends used to push me to make a career
out of my interest but at that time I had
zero knowledge about the fashion industry.
I took up fine arts in school and college as
I knew that I just had to be in art and craft.
Also being away from the fashion capitals
of Delhi and Mumbai, I never really had
a mentor or someone to guide me on the
right path. I just did my own research to
find out how to be a part of the huge indus-
try,” said Jaipur.
She went on to study fashion designing
in Delhi and interned with some fashion
houses to understand how the market
works.
“I was still trying to find myself and
wanted to see what I could do. Once I got
the relevant experience in various fields
of fashion, I returned to Jaipur. There I
joined another firm to get a more hands-on
knowledge of working with local artisans.
After a year and a half, I put together my
own team and launched myself with a
small label called Pallavi and Pari. At the
time, I was still new and did not under-
stand the substance of having a label or the
importance of the name. I just started at
this little garage at the back of my house. I
met a lot of people during this time, who
genuinely liked my stuff and this gave
me the confidence to take it further and
make a proper business out of it. Soon,
I got an opportunity to make it a full-
fledged business and I launched myself
with ‘Pallavi Jaipur’, a name that will
always be associated with me and will

HE Next Generation (TNG)
school recently hosted a
Science Fair where students
from Year I to Year XI dis-
played model-based science
projects in their respective campuses.
The exhibition is an integral part of
the science curriculum where students
explore their creative ideas and knowl-
edge through practical research.
A team of students from each
section was assigned a theme to de-
sign, assemble and present a science
concept at the event. The exhibition
covered topics such as habitats, salt
energy, smart home automation, capil-
lary action, balloon popping magic and
effect of sugary drinks on eggshells.
Each team explained their display to
teachers and peers who visited their stall.
The event enabled students to
demonstrate teamwork, critical think-
ing and communication skills. TNG Al
Wakra campus took the science fair
a step higher by organising a science
competition judged by Asfandyar An-
sari and Owais Qidwai.
The campus was divided into four
zones: A Research Zone, a Media
Zone, a Chemical Zone and a Health
Corner.
The Researchers Zone was assigned
to students who presented innovative
research projects such as the astro-
logical aspects of science, Higgs Field,
hydraulic power and magnetic genera-
tors, recycled vacuums, periscopes,
escalator models, bubble machines,
black hole and drones.
The Media Zone exhibited informa-

HIS is the true story of two
friends, who graduated from
Stenden University with an
aspiration to make something
of their lives with the education
that they had received, and what started
as an idea, ultimately, turned into a suc-
cessful hospitality venture.
The duo recently opened A’la Gour-
met & Café, one of the biggest Turkish
restaurants in The Pearl-Qatar, which has
gained a reputation of being one of the
leading restaurants to be serving au-
thentic Turkish food in the most elegant
ambience.
Qatari Abdulrahman al Mulla and
Syrian Mudar Alafiesh met each other
in 2006 and became the best of friends.
They graduated from Stenden University
with a degree in International Business
Management and started working in lead-
ing multi-national companies in Qatar.
Although work commitments parted
the two friends, they met each other over
live broadcasts of football matches. On
one such occasion, Abdulrahman asked
Mudar, ‘What if we start a restaurant
together?’
Mudar replied that he was thinking
the same thing a day before.

food with a full view of the marina.”
Talking about operational challenges
they face due to the blockade, Mudar said,
“The blockade imposed on Qatar is totally
uncalled for. It didn’t even succeed in its
purpose and has caused minimal effect on
the economy of Qatar.
“Thanks to the support of the Turkish
government, there was hardly any chal-
lenge faced by us in this regard. Our Turk-
ish suppliers outside took a very noble
step to stand with Qatar and supported it
by even supplying items at a reduced price
to accommodate the increased shipping
costs.
“They went out of the way to offer
competitive prices when this blockade
was imposed and thus, helped Qatar over-

OUNT Mayon, one of the
Philippines’ most active
volcanoes, is as renowned
for its beauty as it is feared
for its destructiveness.
Admired for its symmetry and clas-
sic cone shape, the volcano was named
for a mythological fairy. But its smooth
slopes and cute name belie its deadly
nature: Inside is an enormous chamber,
churning with molten rock and toxic
gas.
And it is ready to blow.
For weeks Mayon has rumbled,
belched plumes of ash and smoke and
lit up the night sky with an eerie orange
glow.
“It is very hard to sleep at night
when you start to hear the explosions,”
said Ed Esquivel, 60, a retired police
inspector from the village of Bogna, five
miles from the crater. “It is like five big
airplanes flying around the village.”
A source of pride for the residents
of Albay province on Luzon Island, who
rely on its rich soil and tourist dollars,
the volcano has recently been upending
life instead. More than 70,000 people
had been forced from their homes, one
of the largest mass evacuations on the
island in recent years.
Esquivel is among the dozens who
have ignored the government’s warn-
ings, brushing off the soldiers deployed

to take him and his neighbours to shel-
ters several miles away. He has chosen
instead to remain at home, keeping an
eye on his property and livestock.
It is not out of ignorance that Es-
quivel remains. He knows Mayon’s fatal
power all too well.
“I’ll always remember the day my fa-
ther died, on February 2, 1993,” Esquiv-
el said. “He was among the 73 who died
when Mayon erupted while they worked
their farms at the foot of the volcano.”
The farmers were killed by a py-
roclastic cloud, a wall of superheated
gas that can barrel down the sides of a
volcano at speeds up to 430 mph, and at
temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Soldiers evacuate residents from Guinobatan, in Albay province.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanol-
ogy and Seismology said that similar py-
roclastic flows, tremours and streams of
lava had all been detected several times.
Measurements taken by satellite, it said,
indicated that the mountain’s surface
had swelled, increasing the likelihood of
a major eruption.
Authorities urged residents to
remain indoors and wear masks. Of-
ficials scrambled to establish more than
60 shelters for the growing number of
displaced people. Dozens of flights have
been cancelled, and schools outside
the danger zone have set up makeshift
classrooms for evacuated children.
“It’s a logistical nightmare,” Claudio
Yucot, the regional director for the Of-
fice of Civil Defense, said.
But at the base of the mountain, life
seems strangely normal — tranquil,
even.
Henry Adra, 57, sat outside his
hut in the village of Matnog, four
miles from the mountain’s
peak, surrounded by a grove
of fruit trees. The singing of birds and
rustling of leaves were interrupted only
by the volcano’s rumblings.
Adra said he had no intention of
leaving. He has survived eight eruptions
since 1968, and is inured so thoroughly
to the volcano’s mood swings that dur-
ing the last eruption he ran for a closer
look at boulders tumbling down the
mountain’s side.
“Continue working,” he advised his
neighbours. “Evacuate only when you
already see the lava flowing to you.”
Mayon has erupted about 50 times
in the past 500 years, killing scores of
people. Most recently, five climbers
were killed in 2013 when they were
asphyxiated by ash near the summit.
Despite the terrors posed by pyro-
clastic clouds and red hot lava, Adra
said there were some things he feared
more than the mountain, which has
nurtured his family’s fields and trees for
generations.
“I am much more afraid of my wife,”
he said, “than Mayon erupting.”

cars cruised the streets in the
shadow of Detroit’s Harper
Hospital in 1952. Above them
was the room of Henry Opitek,
a cardiac patient who would come to owe
his life to the engineers who built those
cars — and who helped foster a partner-
ship between the automotive and medical
industries that continues today.
The combined efforts of Harper doctors
and GM engineers would produce a mirac-
ulous machine — a mechanical device that
would temporarily replace Opitek’s heart.
The operation was performed by a
team led by Dr Forest D Dodrill, who had
approached GM about a partnership after
reasoning that pumping blood would be
much like pumping fuel. Not only did it
save a life, but it paved the way for the
heart procedures carried out today. And
as the car world descended on Detroit to
catch a glimpse of the future at the North
American International Auto Show, visi-
tors spared a moment for a look at history
inside Harper Hospital, where one of the
mechanical hearts remains on display.
Although the auto and medical in-
dustries have often worked side by side
— from Ford’s establishment of a medi-
cal centre for its workers in the 1910s to
present-day OnStar technology from GM
and Honda’s Walking Assist Device —
the machine that came to be known as
the Michigan Heart is arguably the most
significant and dramatic example.
“Dodrill took a big step that at least
demonstrated open-heart surgery could be
done while circulating blood with a pump,”
said Dr Larry W Stephenson, a professor
of surgery at Wayne State University who
documented the operation at length in a
2002 article for the Journal of Cardiac
Surgery. “His achievements were one of
the big steppingstones going forward.”
In the 1940s, Dodrill and other heart
surgeons were performing cardiac op-
erations that were palliative rather than
corrective, because they could not oper-
ate within the heart and get at the root of
the problem.
But he reasoned that if a machine
could temporarily take over the heart’s
pumping duties during an operation,
a largely unobstructed view of the
heart’s interior and access to its cham-
bers would be possible. As a Detroiter,
Dodrill knew his neighbours were well
qualified to design such a machine.
Dodrill approached Dr Warren B Cook-
sey, a Harper cardiologist and president of

the Michigan Heart Association, hoping to
generate support for a mechanical heart
engineering project. Fortuitously, Charles
E Wilson, a GM president with an abiding
interest in heart research, served as chair-
man of the association’s board. Cooksey
introduced Dodrill to Wilson, and the two
men met to discuss how a mechanical
heart might work.
A team of more than a dozen engi-
neers and researchers was assigned the
task of developing a mechanical heart,
under the leadership of a GM engineer,
Edward V Rippingille Sr. Among those
who checked in on the team’s progress
3('*)"
was Charles F Kettering, a retired GM
vice-president and inventor who had co-
sponsored what is now Memorial Sloan
Kettering Cancer Center.
Although there was no room for er-
ror with lives at stake, the task seemed
straightforward. “We have pumped oil,
gasoline, water and other fluids one way
or another in our business,” Rippingille
said in a 1952 GM publication, The Fate-
ful Heart, that was cited by Stephenson.
“It seems only logical we should try to
pump blood.”
Over the next 20 months, Rippingille’s
team of engineers built and tested at least
10 mechanical hearts. Eventually, they
settled on a design that resembled a V12
engine, with six pump units on each of
two banks. One bank replaced the heart’s
left side; the other replaced the right. The
pump units gently circulated blood when
positive and negative air pressure was
alternately applied to flexible diaphragms
inside sanitary glass tubes.
Once a working prototype of the
mechanical heart had been developed,
extensive surgical trials were conducted
on dogs obtained from shelters where they
had been scheduled for extermination. The
lives of 84 dogs were lost in the pursuit,
but after months of work, eight consecutive
operations proved successful. The machine
was deemed a success, and the first dog to
survive became a Rippingille family pet.
On July 3, 1952, Dodrill operated on
the 41-year-old Opitek’s failing heart,
while its mechanical stand-in circulated
his blood. Rippingille and two other GM
employees monitored the operation of the
device, while Dodrill and a surgical team
successfully repaired Opitek’s mitral heart
valve. According to Stephenson, it was the
first instance of a surgery that the patient
survived while a mechanical heart main-
tained blood supply.
In all, GM built four mechanical hearts
for Harper Hospital between 1951 and
1956. An oxygenator that supplemented
the patient’s lungs was developed in 1954
and was subsequently used in combination
with the device. The Michigan Heart even-
tually found a home in the Smithsonian; a
slightly later model is in the Harper Hos-
pital lobby, and a third is on display at the
GM Heritage Center in Sterling Heights,
Michigan.
“The Michigan Heart project of 1952
was an early example of how GM tech-
nology can benefit the world in a variety
of ways,” said Greg Wallace, manager of
the GM Heritage Center. “This extraor-
dinary effort served as inspiration for
GM employees.”
Years later, General Motors would
develop OnStar, which among other
features can use telemetry data to estimate
the severity of accident injuries for medi-
cal personnel. And other advancements
are in place — or in the works — across
the industry to prevent injuries, including
crash-avoidance systems and a Mercedes-
Benz project that hopes to detect imminent
loss of driver consciousness.
But such digital advancements owe at
least a spiritual debt to the technology of
the past, when Detroit muscle powered a
heart and gave Henry Opitek another 29
years of life.

MEG WOLITZER
NYT SYNDICATE

HEN my older son started kindergarten,
his teacher asked the class how many of
them knew how to read. A few children
raised their hands, and Miss D said, “Oh,
that’s wonderful!” Then she asked how
many of them couldn’t read, and the rest raised their
hands. “Oh,” she said, “that’s wonderful, too. Because
now you will get to learn how to read with Miss D.”
When I think about the 1959 novel Mrs. Bridge by
Evan S Connell, a variant of this exchange occurs to me:
If you have already read it, that’s wonderful, for chances
are you love it, too, and know how brilliant it is. And if
you haven’t read it, or perhaps have never even heard of
it, well, that’s wonderful, too. Because you are still lucky
enough to be able to read it for the first time.
I don’t remember the moment I first heard
of Mrs. Bridge; it was one of the books
that was in my house, and therefore my
consciousness, when I was growing up.
My parents’ books included the texts
belonging to my therapist father. The
titles blur all these decades later, but
I can boil them down, thematically,
to Families in Crisis and Freud,
along with the (mostly) contem-
porary novels jointly belonging
to him and my writer mother.
Mrs. Bridge, the story of an
upper-middle-class prewar
Kansas City, Missouri, house-
wife and her family and social
circle, was a book my mother
taught back then as part of
an adult-ed fiction class at the
local library. And so it sometimes
made its way through the rooms,
appearing on a night table
or kitchen counter, heavily
underlined.
Over time Mrs. Bridge
has achieved a status
reached by very few books.
The 50th anniversary edi-
tion refers to it on the cover
as “A Classic American
Novel.” And yet you can easily find references to it as
“neglected.” Again and again, I meet people who don’t
know it or haven’t thought to read it, so I find myself
being a Mrs. Bridge evangelist, telling them that it’s a
perfect novel, and then pressing copies on them.
I suspect that part of me wants to evangelise for
Connell, who died in 2013, because he didn’t seem to
do it very much for himself. And though he wrote many
books, it’s his sublime first novel that I turn to.
Not much that can be considered “big” happens in
Mrs. Bridge, which has been called a quiet masterpiece,
but many small “big” things do, over 117 numbered,
titled, short chapters (‘Guest Towels’, ‘Lady Poet’,
‘Another Victim of Circumstances’), giving the book a
spare, crisp quality that is something of an optical illu-
sion, since it is also fully lived in and expansive.
The novel is an extended
character
study, and in understanding the desperately conform-
ing Mrs Bridge, whose first name is India (“It seemed to
her that her parents must have been thinking of some-
one else when they named her”), Connell shows us her
desires, the limitations imposed upon her and, again
and again, her own personal limitations. Scattered
throughout the novel are various attempts on her part,
followed by retreats. When, for instance, Mrs Bridge
wants to see a psychoanalyst, she seeks her husband’s
permission while he reads the newspaper: “Walter,” she
began in a tremulous voice, and went on rapidly, “I’ve
been thinking it over and I don’t see any way out except
through analysis.” He did not look up. Minutes went by.
Finally he muttered, “Australian wool is firm.”
But it’s not just that the novel is an eerily percep-
tive character study, though it is. I’m reminded of John
Williams’ Stoner, or Jane Gardam’s Old Filth. Like
those other remarkable novels, Mrs. Bridge offers not
just a closegrained look at a character, but a wider
view of what’s around her. In this
case, it captures a person mov-
ing — or not — through life. And
it’s not just that the novel is formally
unconventional, about a supremely
conventional person, or has much
to say about repression, subjugation
and emptiness. Its tone — knowing,
droll, plaintive, shuttling rapidly between
pain and hilarity — elevates it to its own kind
of specialness. When Mrs Bridge’s former art
instructor appears at the door in bad shape,
selling magazines, out of pity she agrees to
buy a subscription to The Doberman, despite
not owning a dog. “Gadbury raised his head
and looked at her in grave astonishment.” As
do we, repeatedly.
Just as the trajectory of every writer’s
life is different, every book’s life is different,
too. Mrs. Bridge is one of those books that
can suffuse a room with happiness when
someone brings it up it and someone else
instantly responds with excitement. Favour-
ite moments are mentioned (‘The Dober-
man!’ ‘Tarquin Leacock!’ ‘Roast beeves!’),
heads nod in rapid agreement, and suddenly
the private experience of reading this quiet
marvel transforms into something collective,
connective and loud.

her plan to sell her Los
Angeles residence to finance
her legal fight against Hollywood
producer Harvey Weinstein, who
she’s publicly accused of raping
her. Now, the actress’ contempo-

$1.9 million.
The ‘Charmed’ star, who will

the start of the docu-series Citizen

Veteran Jay-Z, whose soul-baring
album ‘4:44’ had gone into the show
with a leading eight nominations, won
nothing and chose not to perform at the
three-hour show.
The losses by Lamar and Jay-Z in
the top categories marked another year
when pop music won over more socially
incisive work. Adele beat Beyonce in
2017, and in 2016 Lamar lost album of
the year to Taylor Swift.
Lamar opened Sunday’s show at
New York’s Madison Square Garden
with a medley of his hits, accompanied
by dancers in military fatigues and
later dressed in red hoodies as they
mimicked being shot.
TIME’S UP AND TRUMP
On the red carpet, dozens of mu-

equality and freedom

ment, a theme ech-

emotional perform-
ance by pop singer
Kesha of her single Jay-Z

Actress and singer Janelle Monae
said the music business had to address
issues of equal pay for women, abuse of
power and harassment.
“We come in peace but we mean
business. And to those who would dare
try to silence us, we offer you two
words: Time’s up,” Monae said
in a reference to the Time’s
Up movement spreading
from Hollywood to the mu-
sic business.

future spoken word Grammy prize.
Pop singer Camila Cabello, whose
parents are Cuban immigrants, spoke

United States illegally when they were

“I’ve been in the industry for a few
