Set in a Rajasthani village, Leena Yadav’s Parched focuses on three women shackled by misogynistic patriarchal society that they are a part of. These are women with gumption and grace, and yet they are unable to break free, from the suffocating chains they are put in by men in their lives. It is when a fourth woman, a child bride enters their lives, that the three best friends rebel against tyranny and forge their own destiny.
Writer, director Leena Yadav tells the story with dallop of body humour, and many moments of genuine pathos. Beautifully shot and embedded with sharp wit, the film’s key strength lies in the astute characterisation of the four women. Tanishtha Chatterjee is effortlessly natural as Rani, a 32 year old who has been widowed half her life.
Rani struggles to discipline her loutish seventeen year old son, even if she empathises with her fifteen year old daughter in law, played with aching innocence by Lehar Khan. Now Rani’s confidante is Lajjo, who is regularly beaten up by an alcoholic husband because she cannot conceive. Radhika Apte plays Lajjo, with an intriguing mixture of carefree spirit and vulnerability. Bijli, a travelling erotic dancer and prostitute is an old friend of Rani’s and Lajjo’s.
The two see Bijli as a bold and brave one, but she ironically can’t escape from the clutches of men in her own life. Surveen Chawla as Bijli practically lights up every scene that she is in. She plays the character with spunky humour, barely conceals her deep seated frustration over her plight. May be one would wish that the director did not tar all men with the same brush, except for couple of characters here and there.
The movie is also over indulgent with both exoticism and eroticism leaning viewers to feel as if they are stuck in an unwieldy loop. But for these hitches, the movie is an entertaining ride both emotionally and sexually, and will have you rooting and cheering as the three leads find their feat and freedom in the end .
Fashion is steeped in a style that is born from authenticity. I am going to indulge in a style that has remained for a very long time but will not be there in 2017. Check out the fashion list which is going to be dumped in the coming year.
1. Boho chic (mix of bohemian style and high fashion)-
One with the free-spirited vibe and inborn decadent style is not going to rule again in the coming year. Flowy prints, skinny denim jeans will just not prevail as this style has a lot of overboard makeup, this has not kept up with the expectation of people this year. Also, pairing them with long chained handbags giving it a jewellery element has becomemonotonous now. If you have a soul of a gypsy, a heart of a hippie and a spirit of a fairy, this style is going to typecast you in the most cliche and boring manner. We have had enough of this in the movie “Bar Bar Dekho” in which Katrina has overwhelmed us with the same style. So, this is going down the drain in the coming year for sure.
2. Bomber jackets-
One of the most difficult decisions one has to take is how to wear winter wear over Indian wear with the right choice. Cardigan can be functional but not fashionable. To wear saree without feeling cold and not spoiling style factor at the same time, the promising fashion trend for winters has now taken a backseat. Wearing the same rust and wine bomber jacket on saree has become a sight which is not accepted by stylists and fashionistas anymore. So for remaining traditionally stylish without feeling cold, you cannot make use of that favorite bomber jackets anymore, instead, go for fur and long collardones.
3. Festive Jumpsuit-
A chic and comfortable jumpsuit with sequinned embroidery, had gained fair amount of popularity, for girls who wants to roam free hand and still feel traditional this style was like their best choice. But, for the untraditional feel it gives when one is surrounded by sarees and lehngas, this experiment with modern outfit did not quite make a mark for youth fashion. You just cannot look traditional in jumpsuit, no matter how ethnic touch you give it. So, for the coming year, its a bad idea to carry on with the “so called” traditional jumpsuits!
4. Peplum tops and palazzos-
Some fashion designers like Tara Aslam predicted that with fresh styling techniques, palazzos paired with peplum tops made of khadi material will continue its appeal in coming year for summer-spring time. Unfortunately, the prediction went all wrong. It was found that palazzos only succeeded for limited amount of time and was soon ditched by our style statement makers too. So this time for summer, no palazzos!
5. Colourful socks for men-
Fashion designer Raghvendra Rathore started the trend experimenting with colourful socks for men. It is seen that this style has gained fair amount of popularity among the elite crowd but failed to create its success all over. This style had a limited acceptance and was soon rejected by male celebrities including Akshay Kumar.
6. Red Suit For Men-
There was a time when this was the style quotient used by men to stand out on a Valentine’s Day ball. But now it does not make a mark anymore. With overuse of red colour and repeated white shirt, the magic of red suit seems to end for this year. So now stand out at the Valentine’s Day ball, cliched cuts is now history.
Talking About Hairstyles:
Apart from wearables, there are some hairstyles which are a big NO for the coming year. Lets talk about mini mouse buns, if one has a priority for portraying innocence with edgy look, now mini buns have become overused for this portrayal, So, this time its bye-bye for this style for coming year. Secondly, if you have a mid-length or long-length hair, now the puff hairdo is not going to make you stand out or feel different in anyway, as everyone has put puff as their essential ingredient in any hairstyle, they are no more welcomed in 2017.The final one is a bad news for the girls with curls. As banana pinned curls were the most comfortable hairdo for curly haired chics, ace hairstylist Javed Habib and ace fashion designer Wendel Rodricks believe that in 2017 this hair style is not going to have any scope!
There are so many people that are suffering from disorders. In India, people think that disorder is a disease… but this is not true. Disease can be recovered,but disorder can’t. People think that the people with disorder are considered to be psycho, but it’s not true. There are so many disorder in world which affect the people very badly and one of them is AUTISM. An autistic is always in their own world. They do not considered themselves to be a part of this world. They are not involved in anything and even do not want to.
A child with autism is not ignoring you, they are waiting you to enter their world. An autistic is not able to express, that how he is feeling, where the pain in body, etc.They do not much interact with people. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction, verbal communication, and restricted and repetitive behaviour. Parents usually notice in first two years of their child’s life and sometimes in the initial stage of their life.The range and severity of symptoms can vary widely. Common symptoms include difficulty with communication, difficulty with social interactions, obsessive interests and repetitive behaviours. Now a days, people has observed so many behavioural problem in autistic people like in inappropriate social interaction, poor eye contact, compulsive behaviour, impulsivity repetitive movements, self-harm, repetition of words or action. Development Problems like learning disability or speech delay in a child. Muscular Problem like poor coordination, Psychological problem like unaware of others emotions or depression, Speech problem like speech disorder or abnormal tone of voice and any other problem. A child’s autism diagnosis affects every member of the family in different ways. Parents must now place their primary focus on helping their child with ASD, which may put stress on their marriage, other children, work, finances, andpersonal relationships and responsibilities. Parents now have to shift much of their resources of time and money towards providing treatment and interventions for their child, to the exclusion of other priorities.
The needs of a child with ASD complicatesfamilial relationships, especially with siblings. However, parents can help their family by informing their other children about autism and the complications it introduces, understanding the challengessiblings face and helping them cope, and involving members of the extended family to create a network of help and understanding. It’s widely acknowledged that parenting is the hardest job of all and this is especially true for parents of children with autism, who face a different set of challenges. While cases range from mild to severe, all autism spectrum disorders affect a child’s ability to communicate and interact with others. In mild case it’s not that difficult for parents as they do not show such signs of autistic but when we go to severe case, yes it’s difficult for parents as well as society to accept them as they can harm anyone.After so many problem faced by the child and parents, there are so many unusual thing about autistic that they can be opposite to given data because we don’t know that which part of their brain is being affected. Example- Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, research shows that they were suffering from a form of autism called Asperger Syndrome, which could enhance their thinking powers. So, it’s not like that autistic are psycho it’s just that we need to accept them in our society as they are. And help them to survive in this world because nobody knows that there may be is another Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein exist in this society.
We are very shy so don’t think that we are egoistic if we are not making the first move. We also want to talk to you and want to break the barriers but lack of guts always pull us back.
#RULE 2-
Whenever we see you in public, we just pick our phones and start tapping it uselessly to pretend that we have not seen you. That’s why every gathering or get together is incomplete without our phones.
#RULE 3-
Our friend circle is very limited and we don’t like to make friends just like that. We make the true friends only with whom we can share each and everything.
#RULE 4-
We won’t ask our things back after giving you because we really feel very hesitating for asking our own things. So, that’s why we lose our pens most of the time. Many introverts can relate with this rule.
#RULE 5-
We won’t ask for any favor so easily. We will take a lot of time to collect enough guts to ask you for a favor and we always remember it and are always grateful.
#RULE 6-
We just hate public gatherings. If a single friend is there along with us, then we can survive the public gatherings, otherwise we need our phone only. If nothing is there then we might go crazy too.
#RULE 7-
We won’t dance in any public gathering until and unless we are completely forced and are thrown to the dance floor itself. Then also we just shake ourselves a little and come back to our seat with a satisfying long breath.
#RULE 8-
We face a lot of difficulty in proposing our love too. That’s why some of the times we are not able to open our mouths and our love is taken away.
#RULE 9-
If the party is of only the close friends then only we can enjoy our best so don’t invite others too for the party.
#RULE 10-
We are day dreamers. Sometimes we just lose ourselves in the moment and just reach into the world of imagination. We love to make up the stories which never happened and live with that happiness only.
#RULE 11-
We can never step out from the home without the headphones. For us our headphones are like our life savers which protect us from the blah blah of this world.
#RULE 12-
If a teacher asks us to present the topic in front of the class then suddenly our throats are choked, heart starts to beat at its maximum speed, our blood pressure lowers and we feel that why the tsunami is not coming and why this world doesn’t end. No, it’s not dramatic. Ask it from any introvert, he can surely feel the pain.
#RULE 13-
Sometimes to avoid the conversation we just see the messages in the notification bar itself and open the chat after 1 hour to reply back when they are not online anymore. We love to chat but in chunksonly. Sometimes if we don’t want to chat with the particular person then we just remove our last seen and don’t open the chat for many hours, sometimes even days too just to avoid him. Is that rude? No, right?
#RULE 14-
When something is really irritating and we are just not able to concentrate then also we are not able to make that person aware about it because they are just chilled out and don’t even care.
#RULE 15-
We like the people but the empty room with a sound system fascinates us more.
#RULE 16-
We don’t prefer to get late for the class because it becomes awkward for us as we think that the whole class’s attention will be on us only. Sometimes, when the teacher close the door from inside then it is very common that we are never going to knock the door.
#RULE 17-
We can’t ask the doubts in the class only. We wait for the class to end so that we can ask the faculty personally.
#RULE 18-
We love our friends and family a lot but are not able to express our love towards them. If we don’t express it then don’t think that we don’t care. We do care but we are very bad at expressing it.
#RULE 19-
Sometimes we just like to cut ourselves from this world and want to live just alone. We are alone but not necessarily lonely because there are always many thoughts running in our mind uselessly. So, please don’t mind our behavior.
By all accounts, 2016 was no great year for Hindi films, particularly if measured in terms of box office or footfalls. What was impossible to overlook however, is sheer variety of cinema that was an offer. The result of an often singular vision of directors, who boldly dared to go where few had gone before. From rousing biopics of rousing public figures to progressive thought provoking dramas that hammered their message. From compelling recreations of true events, to engaging works of friction. Some of the year’s most interesting films reflected the passion and the commitment of the directors who did not hold back from the fear of failing. Ram Madhvani skillfully evoked the mounting tension within a hijacked flight cabin, literally transporting the viewers to the scene of the harrowing tragedy in Neerja. Nitesh Tiwari took the true story of a has been wrestler and his two daughters and crafted an epic saga of sport, family and girl power in Dangal. Abhishek Chaubey maintained a tight grip on multiple narratives in Udta Punjab. Creating a powerful portrait of a landscape, marred by drugs. Shakun Batra mind genuine laughs especially tears from the simple premise of a family reunion, delivering an authentic portrait of human frailty in Kapoor and Sons. Ali Abbas Zafar fashioned a moving love-story, at the heart of a sport’s film, shrewdly harnessing his superstar’s leading man’s charisma to carve a flesh and blood character in Sultan. And Karan Johar employed all the trappings of Hindi cinema, including hit and catchy songs and heart-throb stars to deliver a fresh perspective on the messy business of unrequited love in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Between them they made some of the best most successful or simply the most talked about films of 2016. The six film makers opened up about the steps they took, to win their actor’s trust, the fears they are often crippled by and their cynicism about where the industry is headed, when they assembled to share their thoughts and perspective.
Q) Some directors say that they expect their actors to have implicit faith in them, do you feel that this level of trust is crucial?
A) According to director Ram Madhvani, he feels that it is too much to expect from an actor. But it is also necessary for director and actor to have a relationship of faith and trust. But at the same time, a director owe them a lot of explanations for having faith in them. But sometimes you have actors which are not on the same page, so at that time a director needs to negotiate with them.
A) Director Karan Johar feels that actors are most vulnerable creatures that exist. And he thinks it is not possible for a director to just deal with them professionally. From a very young age he discovered, that a director is their counsellor, their guide, therapist, friend and everything else. He also says as a result of all this, a director knows what is happening in their personal life and that is going to have an impact on director professionally. In the morning when they come on set , director always have hint about the baggage they carry and the insecurity they have in the moment. So no matter how big a star they are, they are completely scared and looking for a nod from their director. So sometimes, director has to lie too, seeing the sensitivity of the situation. A director has to hold actor’s hand and then do their work as he is a part of their journey.
A) Nitesh Tiwari feels that actors need to feel warm and fussy on sets as they too are human beings with sensibilities. He believes that there is no one set formula for actor director equation. So, sometimes director is warm and cordial and sometimes, he has to take out a stick.
A) Shakun Batra believes if the actor trusts director, then the equation and working condition of both of them becomes very easy and calm. He feels what mostly happens is that the director has to hide his own insecurity in front of the actor. Sometimes it is more important how you say things than what you are saying. Director has to use different motivational techniques for different actors.
Q) When a director is working with a star who has a bigger career than the present director, how does then a director brings trust to the table for that big superstar?
A) Nitesh Tiwari says first and foremost, he wants to highlight the fact that when an actor is buying into you, he/she is buying into director’s vision. For example, if he talks about Aamir Khan, working with him means he has to buy into your passion. Whether a director is able to deliver or not, Aamir does a lot of homework. Also his and Amir’s sensibilities match a lot. So there was no problem of convincing each other in his case he says.
A) Ali Abbas Zafar says that he has a completely different take with Salman. He also says that the strongest part about Salman Khan is that he is very secure as an actor. So, as a superstar Salman’s concern is only the content of the story, he does not ever question smaller strokes. So he thinks while a director works with superstars, it becomes very comforting if the story is good as they are secure about their positions.
Q) Does director have any kind of fear or apprehensions when the trailer of a movie is about to launch?
A) Director Shakun Batra agrees and says that it happened to him in his first film. When first day one walks on set and sees plethora of cinematic equipments, one realise the fact that someone has put huge money for all of that, the pressure comes automatically. Also, he has come from a team of assistant directors so these instruments were only meant for him to organise. But when one is main director, a pressure inside one to use all equipments becomes too much.
A) Director Abhishek Chaubey feels that he fears more while he makes film than the time of trailers, because it is much more daunting managing people and their egos while a film is made. So, half of the time one is managing stuffs like spot boys, assistance, hiring etc. And in the middle of all that, one is trying to tell a story, that is more difficult for him than facing the launching trailer. So, he feels that the first skill that a director should know is how to be a good people’s person.
Q) Is it hard to make money from movies now or does it worry producers where film-making is headed to in terms of box-office prospects?
A) Karan Johar believes that contemporary times are crisis times for movie making and it is very hard to put a film together no matter who you are. As productions are dropped by nearly 40%, so footfalls are literally drowned very drastically. So, it is the biggest wake up call for everyone involved in movie making process including actors, writers, producers, directors everyone.
A) Director Ram Madhvani believes as a director he has a different take. He says, now times are liberating as now director’s reputation is not based on the friday release. It is based on what is the content of movie. So if a good movie is made, and on first day, if it does not gets a grand opening, eventually during first and second week, it is going to collect money for what it deserves.
Q) If you could make only one film what would it be?
A) Director Shakun Batra says that he has a script which he has been developing for a long time and did not make a movie out if it because at the time he was starting the project, Gangs of Wasseypur was out and his script was about mafia too. So looking at the similarity, he stopped that project.
A) Ali Abbas Zafar says that he has one film in his mind, and it is since the time he first thought of making movie, it was a biopic on a girl from village. He would like to make a movie on that.
A) Karan Johar says that he wants to make Agneepath again as his father literally felt burdened by its failure.
With all these films we feel that Hindi cinema is in safe hands and we are greatly looking forward to have a lot more from them in 2017.
Some love to draw, some love to paint, some love to dance, some love to sing, but we the book lovers live because of books, for books, by books, and into books.

2. None can beat you in an argument on literature or related to it.

5. You always aspire to own a bookstore or a library.
One of your aspirations is to either open a bookstore or to open a library where you can spend time reading books and books in your own nook and corner.

You get distressed when people tell you that they are not much into reading and are not fond of reading. You feel sad for them that they are not fond of reading much. You get disappointed when they tell you that they hate books as they haven’t got the right type of book to read till now.
7. You give books as a gift to your friends and family on their birthdays.
When it comes to gifts you love to give others books on their birthdays.Y ou have a lot you give a lot. You try to develop reading habits in them too that’s why you give books to them.

Words cannot describe the phase of pregnancy in the life of a woman. Like most people say, you must experience it to understand the depth of the feeling. It is a blessed period when the mother and the child share an inexplicable bond. The fathers are equally pumped about the pregnancy. They walk the extra mile to make the baby and the mother feel contented and adored. Pouring over many books and internet material to get a hang of the situation, some men do fuss about the pregnancy. Sometimes, more so than the mothers!
The pregnant couples fret about, making an endless list of things to prepare for the arrival of the baby. Right from decorating the nursery to the baby-proofing of the house. Anything and everything related to the word baby feels monumental. But the first list that you need to make when you are gearing up for your delivery is very important. The list of things you need to take to the hospital is crucial and you must get it right. Here’s my hospital bag list of things that might be handy postpartum.
FOR THE BABY:
Gripe water
You can never really guess the stomach situation of the baby and it is better to carry a bottle of gripe water with you.
Filler or a small spoon
A filler is a little tube like thing with a sucking pump on top. It usually comes with a bottle of medicine. In case the baby doesn’t latch on to the breast, it is easier to give milk through a filler. A small spoon is also a pragmatic option.
Nappy crème
You can never go wrong with a tube of nappy crème. Pop it in the backpack without a second thought.
Soother/Pacifier
Experts consider it wise to practice the use of a soother for the baby from an early age. It helps the baby to sleep better and has a great calming effect.
Warm clothes and blankets
The frail body of a new-born is sensitive to the temperature outside of the mother’s womb. Pack a lot of thick tees, socks, and leg warmers for the baby. A couple of blankets are always great in keeping them warm and comfortable.
Wet wipes, tissues, diapers, and changing mats
Well, the title says it all. The essentials for a diaper change are an inevitable must. Ensure that you pack a bunch of soft towels too.
7. Artificial milk powder
In case the baby cannot feed on the mother’s milk, a packet of baby milk powder is a great option.
Milk bottles, cleaning brush and a covered box
Cram in extra bottles, a cleaning brush and a covered box to keep them in after sterilization.
Kettle
Don’t be sceptical about packing a small kettle, it is always handy to have one with you.
Baby lotion, shampoo, and body wash
Undoubtedly, you need the bathing essentials for your little one. Pick the proper and safe brand.
FOR THE MOTHER:
ID proof, hospital-related documents
Bustling about in a rush to get to the hospital, people often forget the ID proof documents and the likes. Ensure that you have all the required documents packed if you are a forgetful person.
Maternity gowns or button ups
Always be equipped with spare clothes of your own. Maternity gowns or feeding shirts are comfortable as you need to feed the baby repetitively.
Sanitary napkins
This item is a given when it comes to packing the postpartum essentials.
Hand sanitizer and disinfectant liquid
A disinfectant liquid which is extremely useful when you need to wash the baby clothes. Its antiseptic properties leaves a sanitary and clean effect. Hand sanitizer bottles are a given when you stay at the hospital for too long.
Bathroom essentials
Pack your toothbrush, paste, shampoo, and body wash. Nothing like the comfort of using your preferred bathroom essentials.
Snacks and chocolates
You never know what mood you might be in and some light treats always help. Some energy bars and chocolates have a great soothing effect.
17. Novels and a Diary
Always carry reading material with you for it calms your nerves more than you know. Also, keep a little diary or a book to record your contractions and feeding periods of the baby.
Make-up kit with comb
Carry a make-up kit and a comb, what’s a little clean up going to do!
18. Change of clothes
Spare clothes for the mother is always appreciated. Pack at least two sets of clothes for yourself.
Flip flops
It is better to not walk barefoot in the maternity ward. So, pack a pair of flip-flops as they are extremely cosy.
Hope you find my list of essentials useful for your postpartum needs. Feel free to add more to it if need be.
