A few hours of power outage is bliss.Well,assuming you are done with immediate tasks for the day.Then,one can resort to being old school for a while.To use any kind of electrical equipment(which sum up our lives nowadays)is impossible.If your phones and gadgets are out of charge,then all the better.Pick up that book you have been putting off reading for forever,or take the chance to spent quality family time by engaging in indoor games(dust off that old carrom board,will you?)or just conversing.I bet you haven't done face-to-face conversations in a while.Good old spring cleaning is bound to help.You could engage in some rudimentary cooking(fuel is still available)or just take a walk,minus the headphones.Do anything that fits your fancy,something you haven't done ina while but would cheer you up.If you quit complaining,this day could turn out to be a refreshing,much-needed break.Let's see how you do!
Today, I got a chance to behold the changing art scene in my country, on attending a film festival of sorts.Filmmakers seem to be reacting to the noise on and off celluloid, through mostly silent creations.I list a few of my favourites here: A Beast Called Beauty - directed by Aakanksha Chitkara Maybe because I am a woman living at a time when India is renowned for objectification of and heinous crimes against women, this documentary film struck me the most and inspired this post.The film voices the common woes of our sex racked by the rigid concepts of beauty set by the society; a situation only worsened by the marketing techniques of fairness creams and other beauty products.However,the movie ends on a happy note, with the featured females professing to have realised that they have accepted who they are, and are content with themselves.I hope every girl out there does the same.
