Bollywood has recently seen an influx of new actors and actresses. With films seeing a new era of stories, that of digitalization and free press, more and more actresses are coming up on the screen, acting in roles that we can only describe as meaningful and titular to the current scenario. One of these up and coming actresses that seem to have taken Bollywood and the music industry by storm is Tara Sutaria.

Career

Tara Sutaria, 24, began her debut in the Hindi film industry with the fan-favourite film – Student of the Year 2. She, however, is already wildly popular from her successful stints on Disney India as Jassie from Oye Jassie and as Vinnie in The Suite Life of Karan and Kabir.

Tara has been, since the end of her stint as a video jockey for Disney Channel India, recording songs in India and outside the country for films. She has since recorded and performed solo concerts in London, Tokyo, Mumbai and Lavasa. Tara Sutaria was also among the two actresses selected to play a part in the live-action remake of Disney’s Aladdin. However, she ended up losing the role to Hollywood actress Naomi Scott. She has now made her Bollywood debut with Punit Malhotra’s Student of the Year 2 as Tiger Shroff’s childhood sweetheart.

She has completed two films till now, the first being SOTY2 and the second being Milap Zaveri’s Marjaavan. In the movie Marjaavan, she plays Zoya, a mute music teacher and stars alongside Siddharth Malhotra, Riteish Deshmukh and Rakul Preet Singh. While Tara’s role is admirable, the film wasn’t received well by critics and described as “loud, overcooked and overdone”.

Upcoming Films

Tara Sutaria

With two movies under her belt, Sutaria features next in Milan Luthria’s Tadap, the supposed sequel to 2014’s psycho-analytical thriller, Ek Villian. She shall be starring aside newcomer Ahan Shetty. The film shall also be featuring well-known names such as Aditya Roy Kapoor, John Abraham and Disha Patani. The filming for the movie is still underway, and the trailer will be released subsequently.

She has also recently debuted in her music video alongside Siddharth Malhotra for the re-release and 2020 rendition of Mazakali, from the 2009 film Delhi 6. The music video seems to be a stand-alone and yet an outtake from her second movie Marjaavan. Despite the upbeat lyrics and romantic tones, the song has been majorly slammed, by critics, composers and the public alike. Trolls and outright critics had come out to make fun of the poorly thought out remake. Articles report that Youtube has disabled the ability for a viewer to view the likes and dislikes for the video.

Personal Life

 Sutaria, despite her proclivity for the theatrical side of the stage, has an unbridled interest in singing. Along with a history of having learnt music from a very young age, she has performed for the musical side of the stage as Sandy from the musical remake of Grease.

Tara Sutaria

 Her musical stints have taken her around the globe. She has even performed solo concerts in some of the biggest cities in the world like New York, Mumbai and Lavasa. On various interviews, she has also vocally expressed her desire to continue with the musical aspect of her journey. She has also said that the entire experience with the film industry has been a dream. However she’d like to pursue her musical passions more and record songs for films and on her own too. She has also expressed an interest in the other aspects of filmmaking and said that she looked forward to directing her movie someday.

Relationships

Pretty close-lipped, Sutaria once described herself as a pretty shy person and that while everyone in the film industry soon changes from the conditions, she probably wouldn’t due to her nature. Her shy nature is also probably the reason the details of her love life seem to be few and far between. During the shooting of Marjaavan, there were quite a few rumours that she was dating her then co-star Siddharth Malhotra, which is yet unknown. Now, however, she is rumoured to be dating Aadar Jain.

Aadar Jain despite the surname is pretty high up in the B-town; he is the cousin of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ranbir Kapoor. Tara Sutaria and Aadar Jain were first suspected to be together after they were spotted hanging out with one another. There isn’t much from either of them regarding the matter. Tara has, however, neither confirmed nor denied their relationship. However, an interview with the Deccan Chronicle seems to tell us that they aren’t precisely just friends either.

Past Relationship Status

According to the sources, they first met through a couple of friends and seemed to hit it off pretty well. They also seem to hang out at parties and meetups rather than closed off restaurants where they say the paparazzi are bound to make their way.

With regards to her previous rumours with Marjaavan co-star Siddharth Malhotra, she recently divulged that there wasn’t anything going on as such. She has also called him good boyfriend material. She also said that they lived quite close together and spent time together often. However she emphasised that they were good friends and nothing more.

She was previously with Rohan Mehra, veteran actor Vinod Mehra’s son. There seem to be a lot of Instagram pictures which also point to the same. With adorable captions and numerous photos taken together, we remain speculating the nature of their relationship.

Regardless of who she is seeing, we are sure that she is one of the faces we shall need to look out for in the movies to come. The Bollywood industry is only expanding, and we have new faces every movie. We’re sure Tara shall also be bringing something new and fresh to the stage each time. We wish her luck and can’t wait to see her next movie, Tadap, which is to be in theatres soon.

Kolkata before and after lockdown

Kolkata


This city of joy is today suffering, in every possible way. No one ever saw Kolkata in such a pandemic condition. People are scared all over the world because of this virus COVID-19. The whole country lockdown was announced by our prime minister on 24th March 2020.
The situation was a lot different a week ago before the lockdown was announced, everyone around us including me was following our daily work schedule for bread. The whole country was running smoothly and dedicatedly to make India free from all the evilness, but it seems like India will always have to stay inside the box and to be called as “Developing country”.

Kolkata before and after lockdown

Empty work place

Office buildings, cafes, restaurants are out of people’s reach. Therefore, only 5% of the total working class is still working, to meet the basic needs of people for living and surviving. As people started stocking groceries after hearing a lockdown for 21 days, stores are now empty with no item left and this is making the lower class suffer the most.

Hiked rates of flights

The rate of domestic flight tickets will increase by 50%, as the airline department is forced to cut passenger capacity to follow the social distancing rule. The last 3 rows to be kept empty for an emergency if in any passenger is suspected or detected with COVID-19. Except for Air Asia no other airline offering refund. Instead of refunding fare money, they are giving options of rescheduling or credit note by which you can buy tickets later.

New quarantine centers


As the orders were from the center, all the states had to put their states on a lockdown. West Bengal’s chief minister Mamta Banerjee also showed her concern towards such a powerful virus. In just within a week a sports stadium Dumurjala is turned into a quarantine center with all the facilities required for patients.


This lockdown has done more bad than good, people and stray animals are dying without food and proper treatment. Companies are running in loss, NGOs are not getting enough funds to fill bellies and maintain hygiene. Though the rich communities are trying to provide some relief by distributing commodities but that’s not enough. The truth is harsh but the thing is, rich people brought it with them but now the whole of India is suffering among which the laborers and poor’s are sufferings the most. Even in this state of chaos, the internet is flooding with fake news that’s provoking people and worsening the situation more.

COVID-19 cases


Till today the Kolkata has 120 positive cases and 96 actives among it. If you will look at the rate of recoveries then it is far less than the death rates. If you will ask me, that what are the before and after lockdown change then I have to say, that the smell of mismanagement and corpse have increased. ‘Just lockdown isn’t enough to cope up with the situation’ said by WHO, India needs more testing kits and medicines that can treat corona patients.

Kolkata before and after lockdown

Motivate patients and volunteers


In this harsh moment, the good part is everyone is trying to help and show support, Modi Ji asked everyone to clap at 5 pm for 5 minutes to show some respect and gratitude to all the working departments like doctors, nurses, police, and every one those are helping and leaving their families at home just so that they can save the whole country not only their own family. The pollution level has also gone down and the atmosphere is healing itself.
By keeping the demand of mask, sanitizer and hand wash the University of Calcutta produced a bulk of them to help every community of their state. IIT- Kharagpur also donated 1 crore to the PM care fund. Bengal has a total of 7 testing lab and they are NICED, SSKM, Medinipore MCH, North Bengal MCH, School of Tropical Medicine, Apollo Hospital, Tata Medical center.

Essential steps


The municipal corporation of every area is taking this period sincerely and asking people to not go out if not urgent or necessary and also distributing food items in slum areas. In the vegetable market, people are maintaining a 3m distance with each other. Not only this many migrants as got stuck due to the lockdown of all transport mediums, but the corporations are also helping them out in all means.
Now in Bengal, the lockdown is extended till 30th April and for all the educational institutions it is been extended till the 10th of June. As children are the future of our society so they need more protection. The government also doesn’t want to dig more graveyards, so it is better this way.
Let us just do our family and society a favor and not go out of our homes, because our one step outside can bring one more case of COVID-19 in hospital. So be careful “stay home, stay safe”.

9 Major Tips To Bring Clarity In Your Paper

It must be difficult for you to write your 1st few papers as and examinee. Exams make us feel daunted the entire time until we see our results. You might be under the pressure of writing your highly specialized papers with all information needed.

Whether it is the examination paper or a sample article you need to deliver, a lot of content misses the grabbing portion. This missing portion of your content is clear. Clarity can be defined as the feasibility or the understandability you bring in your writing, so your readers can comprehend well. 

If people do not get through what you write, it makes your hard work worthless. On the other hand, if you are delivering an intelligent, easy, clear, and sharp content, understandability increases and people become familiar with the knowledge you have and the pattern that you choose to deliver it. 

An examination stands as fear for most of us. Bringing clarity into what you write in an exam is not difficult if you know, you have prepared well. All you need is motivation and to practice is the ability of clarity. You need to make your writing crystal clear. 

9 Major Tips To Bring Clarity In Your Paper

Here we have explained a few methods for examinees to bring clarity in the paper.

The Exact Answer Is Important

 Lot of questions have easy answers. However, your delivery may not fetch you the total marks. Here is where clarity plays its role. You need to think clearly and also think straight. 

Clarity will force you to think about what you are writing before you start spilling the words into the page. Make sure you have a note of the subject, the outline and the point that you wish to make. 

For example, The Guardian is one of a famous journal website for complex articles. However people choose to go through it not because of the complexity of the difficult vocabulary used, but because of the clarity, it brings out even though the articles are complex. 

The Memory Dump 

If you are afraid to lose the information you have had to memorize, try bulleting them right when you start writing your paper in the form of notes. Once you bullet the information it becomes easy for you to answer whichever question you find first. You will feel relaxed and be able to complete the entire paper with confidence because of the fear of losing knowledge won’t panic you. 

Paragraph Placement 

It’s important to make a short paragraph when you are answering to the point. Often examiners prefer to the point answers even to long questions. If you desire writing long paragraphs, it may make it difficult for the examiner to check hundreds of papers in the same way. 

Therefore pointwise placement or short paragraph placement may help you deal with it. It’s also easy to make one or two-sentence paragraph but examinations demand three to four sentences as well. Make sure to explain one single point in specific clear words, and not exaggerate the meaning in and out. 

Once you are done with three-sentence paragraphs, make sure to leave a space for the second or third paragraph to be viewed as a specific answer all over again. Do not continue one after the other without spacing. Spacing plays an important role in paragraphs where your answer has to be in parts instead of points. 

Supporting Points 

While writing essay answers, make sure to organize the supporting points that you need to elaborate before you proceed with the body. Create an outline of your subject. The coherent organization makes an important characteristic of a good answer.

Unfamiliar Words 

It is not always important to go by the exact sentences you’ve been taught. Try to be creative when it comes to standing out as someone better. Choose to use your own words and your creativity and if something is unfamiliar and you have not used those words before, make sure to keep an explanation and define it with clarity. 

One simple technique to make your writing comprehensible is to explain it in clear words. Make sure your subject and concept go hand in hand instead of assumptions and indefinite answers. You need to give your reader exactly what he or she is looking for. 

Know Your Audience

If you know who your audience is, your writing is bound to be clear. The better you deal with your audience, the better you communicate your answers. 

If your audience is your teacher, you know what are the points she has explained in class. Make sure to choose your words wisely and stress on the parts that are important for the answer. When you are trying to explain advanced topics, you need to use advanced concepts and bigger words that might not have been dealt with in class. 

For this reason, make sure you are aware of the topics and your audience. 

Short Sentence Is The Key 

If you are aware of a paragraph with long sentences filling part of the page, make sure to cut one sentence into two, and shorten it. Short sentences are easier to comprehend. Do not try packing a lot of words in one frame.

You may lose clarity easily. When a sentence is short it is easier to read, easier to understand and easily captures the interest of the person reading it. A sentence usually becomes long with an adjective, filler words, and adverbs. Avoid using the following :

  • actually 
  • perhaps 
  • real 
  • just 
  • literally 
  • in order 
  • maybe 
  • very 

Once the above words are kept away, your sentence will easily shorten. 

Consistency Is Capability 

It’s good to predict a better grade when you know you have prepared well. Make sure your answers are consistently clear and capture the interest of the reader. If you begin with comprehensible answers and gradually decrease the clarity of your paper, your examiner may not put up with the same interest as he had while starting to mark it initially.

An easy experience is desirable, so focus on delivering a steady and consistent style

Writing Tools 

Today it is possible to access any information over the internet. What you need to wear to look right, what you need to read to understand right, how you need to write to understand right, is always easily served.

You can try using the Hemingway app to make your writing clear and consistent. Writing requires cutting the dead weight from the content and highlighting more egregious sentences. The Hemingway app may help you to write with clarity and power by highlighting the passive voice and removing dull complicated words

Today’s content speaking world requires clarity in whatever form it is delivered. No matter where you learn, your clarity stands out clear. Writing has power and power compels the reader. 

The power turns head, encourages action and changes the mind. Although it takes practice to develop clarity in performance, do not get disheartened if it is taking the time. If you don’t get it during your first, you will probably get it during your 10th. Make sure you are consistent. 

The aim is to turn the intermediate into the advanced. Practice makes it worth the time.
