The Utopian Concept of Gender Equity
There is a thin line of disparity between self-respect and arrogance that most people err in their lifetimes and cannot distinguish when the time arrives. I wonder how Indian society finds it appalling for women to be assertive and bold in their stance as they try to voice out their opinions on what they believe in. While I respect our culture of virtue, values and morality, it is baffling how patriarchal our society is, as it still perceives women through the fragile glass lens of being demure, nurturing, soft and family-oriented while she is working and expects her to be silent in her stance when men of the house are talking.

Watching Twilight For The First Time. Top Story - November 2024.
This is sort of weird for what an avid reader of young adult fiction I was back in my teens, but I never actually read much of Stephanie Meyer’s famous Twilight. I briefly borrowed one of the books from my cousin, skimmed a few pages, and then gave it back because I didn’t like it. And that’s where it ended for me.

Joker: Folie à Deux et les folies d’un réalisateur
Two very different Jokers, from several perspectives, starting with the explosive box office success at the Venice Film Festival of the first film, compared to the colossal disappointment of the second. This was not what anyone had signed up for. The first film left the stage with a Golden Lion and Joaquin Phoenix pocketing an Oscar for Best Actor. Quite the curtain call. The second? Well, it barely managed to keep the audience awake, let alone intrigued.

The Art of Storytelling: It Was A Good Day
🎶Just wakin' up in the mornin', gotta thank God I don't know, but today seems kinda odd🎶 There is absolutely no way you could hear these classic opening lines from Ice Cube’s layback groove known as “It Was A Good Day” and not be having a good day. This West Coast Hip Hop classic is not only one of the greatest Hip Hop songs ever, but also a true display of the art of storytelling.

Women on Screen: Psychological Themes in Contemporary Indian Cinema
Cinema and film are prevalent forms of mass communication that significantly influence opinions, shape perceptions, and reinforce prevailing cultural norms. They entertain audiences globally, offering an escape from everyday life by creating an alternate reality. Additionally, cinema has the power to alter individuals' mindsets and help establish new cultural, social, and political values. Indian cinema has long been a significant part of Indian culture, impacting society and individual lives in various ways. Movies influence people's fashion choices, speech, and social behaviour, both directly and indirectly. Over time, Indian cinema has evolved from traditional mythological films to "Bollywoodized" adaptations of successful Hollywood movies. In the 1970s, Indian cinema began to adopt a more socially conscious and politically focused approach.
