Have you noticed how dreams change over the years? We dream of becoming astronauts and engineers when we are six. Which then either change track into 'artists' and 'doctors', or the realization hits that the subjects in question are no longer to your liking. The path to achieving your ambition is not what you dreamt it to be. So you opt a different stream to find your calling, or slightly change up your plans. It all depends on the people you surround yourself with, and your receptivity to opportunities and experiences.
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.
