But the scenes behind the camera had put me in shock that it wasn’t really a glamorous and relaxing job instead it was a much exhausting one. Yeah, that is true! Nagarkirtan: The Tale of the Untold. A film that is: raw, rare and yet, very real.
The term ‘Nagarkirtan’ typically originates from a Sikh custom involving the processional singing of holy hymns through a community. This practice has been adopted in various cultures and is seen to be predominant in Bengal, where the rural and urban alike, hum praises of their Lord.

WISE - Women in Science and Engineering. Science, tech, and engineering are the never-ending fields.
And so is the determination, dedication, and compassion of today’s women towards their career in science.

Marriage - A choice or custom. Life is a beautiful ride.
To enjoy this ride is it necessary to have someone besides you? Doesn’t that mean that you are being dependent on someone for the rest of your life? Although the traditional belief always supports the thought that a wedding is an essential part of life and with its beginning, two lives grow up once again and live happily together ever after. But, according to the rational mind, what one can conclude in a rightful manner by looking at the society is that not all the weddings are fruitful and in fact sometimes it changes lives in a drastic manner and makes it even hell.

In India, a country with a population as large as 1.3 billion, doctors are often compared to God and an obvious justification of the same shall rest on their endless toil and commitment to save lives and put all their acquired knowledge at work directing every available resource towards patient treatment.
With the vast spectrum of diseases at play and unfortunate accidents in place added to the tendency of the human body to weaken in its function with time and age, it is of no surprise that doctors enjoy a respected pedestalled position within our society. To add to their credibility, they go through one of the toughest academic training periods to acquire the place they are at today: with five long years of graduation wherein medical students undergo rigorous pressure for they learn through practical study, interning under senior doctors, working and studying through days and nights without much time to even complain.

It is another proof of how, in a general and more relatable term, this world has become human chauvinistic.

Child Labor: a hazard crippling the future.
Globally, children routinely participate in paid or unpaid forms of work that are more often than not, hazardous in nature and provide no physical, social or mental security placing such children under the shelter of uncountable health risks, crippling their future by excluding them from education, and even bringing in the possibility of death. What causes an absolute despair is that the state of poverty which is so prevalent across countries has often forced these children to leave behind the innocence that they are gifted with and choose a way of life that revolves around earning a living and supporting a family as hunger is a need that stands first and foremost and cannot be ignored.

And it is different for different people according to their varied lifestyle, their thoughts, and liking. But, if someone would ask me that which is my favorite fruit then I would not say all such things, rather it would be a different answer.
