Cloud formations are fun to watch.From the time I saw them as mouth-watering dollops of ice cream,as a kid,to now,when these masses of moisture present themselves to me in different shapes,the sky has been an innovative canvas showcasing nature's varying moods.Sometimes I trace a horse,an elephant, a puffy chariot escorting the Sun,a giant spaceship,whipped cream smeared on the sky,or just an expanse of black,thickening until it breaks out in a heavy downpour - fury unleashed as light,water and sound,but also as a blessing to life on Earth.
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.
