You know it's a twisted world you live in when you begin to mistake birdsong for a cellphone's ringtone. When you hear a meow while on a train and look around to find the cat, you realize it is only another passenger watching a video on his smartphone. Similarly, the sound of a giggling baby may or may not be arising out of an actual, live human. In this techy world we live in, you never know. Better to makes sure first, always. If you are one to pay attention to these things, I mean. Otherwise, by all means, continue to converse with your gadgets.
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.
