Friday morning. First day, first show. After waiting for months, the movie finally got released. I called up Udit to ask him when he will reach. I stood in the queue for two large tubs of popcorn and 2 large drinks. After all, it’s just unthinkable to watch a movie without some munchies to ruminate. He arrived exactly 3 minutes late. Infuriated, we took our seats and watched the entire movie in silence. At the end, I just said to him, “I will never ever watch a movie with you.”
Four months has passed by since then. I still regret to utter those words to him. Will we ever be able to enjoy going to the cinema halls? Maybe yes, but it won’t be the same again.
One of the most lucrative and labor intensive industry, the film industry had to suffer a huge blow due to this pandemic. Big releases such as Sooryavansham, Pahwa, 83 and other such big banner movies got postponed owing to the commencement of lockdown. Shootings have been halted since Modi declared the lockdown and is still in process. Shutters are still down for cinema halls, malls and other small theatres, at least in India. Movies which were progressing at the time the lockdown was declared had to be stopped in the middle. Film industry is just a cost effective and cost intensive business that such a blow like this have seriously crippled not only the major stakeholders but also the daily wagers, contractual workers and the shift workers. And considering the fact that Indian economy is in shambles now, it is least likely that consumers will show high interest in visiting theater, let alone trying to meet ends.
India is a highly populated country where according to Malthusian theory, our food production follows arithmetic progression and our population follows geometric progression. No doubt, the only factor that has forever been booming in India is the population and today that is creating chaos. Our film industry employs actor, directors, producers, screen-writers and various major stakeholders but the majority of people in the set are the daily wagers, contractual workers and the shift workers. This lockdown had taken away their jobs and they are trying to thrive on their savings which is also dwindling. Major concern is faced by the small banners because they feel that let alone big banners, small banner movies have very less chance to appear in the multiplexes owing to such large investments in location, travel, casting, sets and so on and so forth. Recent study says that the film industry is going to be reopened at the last because the last thing most consumers would want is to go to halls, surpassing all the barriers of hygiene and sit and watch movies.
But whatever be the situation, I personally feel that the lockdown will be a great chance to reform the current scenario of our film industry. Firstly, due to major cash crunch and dwindling economy, producers will actually give a lot of thought before producing those B-rated, mindless, long and illogical movies. They will actually need to sit, write down a script keeping in mind the consumers’ current economic and needs scenario. Secondly, this is a great opportunity for the complete digitization of the industry. OTT platforms such as Amazon Prime video, Hotstar+Disney and Netflix should take the front seat in driving this lucrative business. Consumers have already switched to this relaxing mode of entertainment and they have adapted to this new normal. There has been a huge spike in the monthly and annual subscriptions for these platforms. This is particularly a great news for the small banner films because they can focus on producing movies having very strong, powerful and meaningful content and if the total investment is less than 5 crores, OTT platforms can buy those movie to create hype among the consumers. Lockdown will surely be the best thing for consumers who are particularly interested in watching meaningful movies devoid of any nepotistic characters. And thirdly, and this especially go out for the those cohorts who spend huge amounts in this sector, it is a great opportunity for them to curb on their spending costs and shift towards the more safe and indoor means of entertainment.
But whatever be the situation, the film industry will suffer a huge blow and there are no sign of restoration of releases or shooting till the end of 2020 or the beginning of 2021. A lot of modifications needs to be done both in the films sets as well as multiplexes. A few suggestions for multiplexes include limiting the sell of tickets, monitoring the queues at washrooms and food counters, sitting while still maintaining the social distancing and especially modification needs to be made to allow 4 entry and exit points. There are movie-buffs and who will definitely go to watch movies on screens and the film industry should try to target such cohorts.
After all we all know that human beings are social animals and they will definitely return, today or tomorrow.
After the Indian Government banned the TikTok short video app and 58 other Chinese-origin applications, many other ‘glugrown’ or Indian-made alternatives soon appeared to fill the gap. Although the growing popularity of these Indian apps such as Roposo, Chingari and MitronTV has been written and very impressive, it is very likely that they will still face difficult waters in the future. Recently, Facebook’s Instagram Reels, and another form of TikTok, which was originally scheduled to be launched in Brazil, Germany and France, will now be quietly tested in India. Similar to TikTok, the Instagram ‘Reels’ feature will allow its users to record 15-minute videos with music and audio clips and then allow them to post them on their Instagram ‘news’ section. To make the process work better for users, Facebook and Instagram have recently partnered with Saregama, a popular Indian music label, to give Instagram users access to their song library. A Facebook spokesman, in a statement on the matter, said the company plans to launch a new redesigned version of Instagram Reels in many countries. They are happy to allow the global community on Facebook to try it out as it is a fun and creative way for people to express themselves and have fun. Currently, sources have confirmed that some Instagram users in India have started receiving updates that include the ‘Reels’ feature but they have not been suspended for working days in India. After the ban forced the ‘Tiktokers’ Indians to split the routes with TikTok, users were desperately in need of a different platform. Other apps similar to tiktok in the past had a very huge user base and the content was not good anyone can post anything at those platforms that were in the era of tiktok and publishing content without any safety and privacy that leads to the content that was running in India on a Chinese apps and issues like data theft. Similarly, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of the Chingari App app, Sumit Ghosh, reported that their app gained more than 16 million users in just 25 days. Also, MitronTV chief executive Shivank Agarwal said they had seen an 11x jump in daily traffic after the ban. Now, while these other Indian methods are trying to do their best to get milk for this life opportunity, it is very likely that their growth, happiness and inconsistent engagement may last for a while when Facebook releases Reels in a fully-fledged India. Reels put the banks in the humid user services of 88 million Indian users (from 2018) of Instagram. This basically means that the feature will be able to expand the base of captive Instagram users to get a proactive amount of display in a faster way, at a cost of almost customer acquisition. Reports have already made it clear that Instagram is the preferred option for TikTok Stars and TikTok Influencers over any home app. It should also be noted that the majority of Tiktok content creators, restricted posting, have seen a huge increase in their Instagram followers.
Racism is the prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior. It is the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. Racism may be defined as the hatred of one person by another — or the belief that another person is less than human — because of skin color, language, customs, place of birth or any factor that supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person. Anything that might be used to discriminate against a group or an individual that is not under one’s own control falls in the domain of racism. Ethnicity, race, religion, region and language are some of the few factors that people use to discriminate against other people. It has influenced wars, slavery, the formation of nations, and legal codes.
A person that believes in the idea of racism, that humans are somehow divided into exclusive biological entities and can be termed inferior or superior to each other on the basis of certain biological traits, are leaches that are depriving our societies of countless extraordinary and brilliant individuals. People are termed incapable or unqualified for something just because of their race despite after decades and decades of research, science has been unable to provide a single concrete proof that supports these claims. Racism has existed throughout human history. From the abuse of Native Indians, “The Redskins”, to the horrifying atrocities suffered by the African Americans, “The Blacks” or “The Negroes”, at the hands of the self-proclaimed superior race, are all part of the history of this vile and abusive belief. All of these victimized groups had no other fault than to not share a skin color with other people. Racism has been employed as powerful weapons repeatedly, for encouraging fear and hatred in others in times of conflict and war, and even during economic downturns.
Racism causes harm to those who are on the receiving end. It hurts individuals, communities and our society. People are not born with racist ideas or attitudes; rather racism is something that is learned. People often associate racism with acts of abuse or harassment. However, it does not need to involve violent or intimidating behavior.
Racism can be revealed through people’s actions as well as their attitudes. It includes all the barriers that prevent people from enjoying dignity and equality because of their race. Racism has existed in all areas and at all times where different races or cultures of humans have encountered each other. Research indicates that the places where racism is exercised often include the local neighborhoods, shops, and in the workplaces. It can emerge in other spaces such as on public transport, sporting events or at schools. Expressions of racism can also be found in media. This happens when, for example, racial groups are represented in an unfair or negative light in news reports or commentary. Many regard the lack of cultural diversity represented in media as another form of racism.
In recent years, racism has even translated to a problem online. Whether it is offensive comments on social media, inflammatory memes or hateful videos, cyber-racism has had a significant impact on the growth of racist attitudes in different ethnic groups. Those spreading such racist impulses often do so under the comfortable veil of anonymity. It is an unfortunate legacy of ancient days that humans are still inclined to judge groups by surface appearances. Therefore, it must be abated and minimized at all costs, as soon as possible, lest it halt our development even further.
The City not only developed Honda cars in India, but also became a model line of the class. In line with the ever-changing times and needs of the Indian market, the City has changed its shape and size and while the buyer has embraced it all, the recent City has been ridiculed for losing some of the original funds that made the reality so popular. But restoring the foundation of your name first has been the first number at H headquarters and that is one of the reasons why the Civic model is back in the Indian market.
The look and feel of the City, therefore, is very important in this regard. The first step in that is its claim to be the widest, longest and strongest car in the class. To put it bluntly, the new City is 53mm wide, 109mm long and 6mm low, with a fourth-generation model to work with. The design of the new city is borrowed more from the Honda Accord than the Civic, and the car lends the car a more sophisticated design in terms of a low-end and sporty building like the Civic. City tail lights are often the same as obscure in BMW’s tail light designs and the new one is also following that tradition. That also makes it the simplest premium tail design in the category so far. The light bulbs look great compared to their 9-pot lamps for each LED. Of course, this design may not look very different because viewers have seen it in almost every new Honda car and motorcycle. Believe that if the designers had their way, they would have added these colors to Honda’s power producers and tobacco-mowers! But it looks like a real premium and it’s been six months since you stayed with the Civic. This you are sure is that this building material turns heads. The round chrome grille that connects to the lanterns is a unique design though I would also like a sculpted design. It is possible to find a black sportier gloss black component as part of the RS boat currently on sale in Thailand when Honda allegedly analyzes the Indian market with a 1.0 liter turbo-petrol engine.
While the face looks different, the defining side of the new Honda City is the side profile, which shows the increase in traffic. The Honda designer says the construction of the new City is inspired by car designs made by a six-year-old, and that probably means very long bars. Honda claims that although land acquisition is similar to a fourth-generation city, the existing and current routes remain the same. The City had begun to feel like plastic and some things seemed to be inferior to the competition, but the new one was fixing that by linking the boundaries. The dashboard design is new and appropriate and the finish is perfect. There is a faux-wood trim that can look attractive, the dashboard seats are realistic and Honda added soft touches to the standard touch areas, which will enhance the feel of the premium. I also love the HVAC rod-shaped finish, which comes back with a reassuring click that emphasizes the seamless feel of the switchgear and the new roll-and-switch switch on steering.

Bengalis are always been considered as one of the most refined people all over the world. They are very culturally rich, socially aware. Kolkata is not only standing as the testimony of Indian history, but the people from Bengal have secured their place in Indian history in social, political, and literary culture as well. There remain some misconceptions about Bengalis
Bengalis only eat fish
It is a tendency to continue with ages that Bengalis eat fish only. But it is now right. Though most of the Bengalis take fish as a preference they are also admirers of meat production and other food habits. It is also true not every Bengalis not even eat fish as they do not like to.
All Bengalis are from Kolkata
Kolkata is the heart of Bengal but not all Bengalis hail from Kolkata. Many Bengali comes from Tripura, Assam as well. There are many non-Bengalis stays in Kolkata.
Fond of rice
There’s a misconception that all Bengalis are very fond of rice. But this is not true. Though their food habit includes rice at least once in a day, especially in lunch. But it differs from person to person, not all of them like to have rice.
The only desert is rosogolla
There are a variety of sweets found in Bengal. Bengalis prefer different kinds of sweets. Rosogolla is not their only dessert to have. Like there are plenty of sweets, pantua, mowa, sondesh, etc.
They greet saying “ami tomake valobasi”
“Ami tomake valobasi” means “I love you”. It never happens in any culture that when they meet to a person, greet saying I love you. Same goes for Bengalis as well. They have different ways of greeting. Though each time we learn about a language we decipher the meaning of “I love you” first. But it doesn’t imply the fact that they greet saying I love you. Bengalis say “nomoshkar” or wish good day saying “subho shokal” and so on. Moreover, Bengalis also use English in their language habit.
Bengali girls wear red-bordered white saree
Red bordered white saree is not the only category of saree Bengalis wear. Mostly in Bijoya, all girls wear the saree. But there are plenty of designs of sarees and types of wearing methods Bengalis follows. They are very delicate in the style sense. Many people resemble Bengali girls with bindi, Kajol, big eyes. But these all seem very cliche.
Bengalis only listen to Rabindra Sangeet
People from outside of Bengal think Bengalis only listen to Rabindra sangeet and immense inclined to literature. Bengalis possess a habit of the reading book like any other people from different cultures. but what they do not know or understand that not all Bengalis are bookworms and they do patronize other genres as well. India’s first rock culture was started in the ’70s with the Bengali band Moheener Ghoraguli.
All Bengalis are pro politics
Though in the independence era Bengal was the core to stimulate the freedom movement. All the Bengalis do not possess the legacy to involve themselves in active politics. Being a part of the democratic country no one claims themselves apolitical because we all the part of the building government. Many Bengalis are true quite a bit knowledgeable about politics and political history. But not all are interested in that.
There remain many misconceptions about look, culture, social, religious preferences about a community. But every culture exists with diversity and exceptions. So, generalizing the stereotypical thoughts are nothing more than a myth.
The Indian military action carried to remove militant religious leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his followers from the buildings of the holy Golden Temple, Amritsar is also known as “OPERATION BLUE STAR”. This operation was carried in between 1 June 1984 to 8 June 1984. The president of Akali Dal Party Harchand Singh Longowal in 1982, invited Bindrawale to stay at the sacred temple to evade his arrest. The dark times of the history began with when Bindrawale made the holy temple arsenal and headquarters.
GOLDEN TEMPLE,1984
RAW, Indian intelligence bureau reported that CIA and ISI together are working with Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale against the government in the favor of Khalistan Movement. The intelligence agencies claimed that Weapons training was provided in the gurudwaras of Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh to fight against Indian Government for the Republic of Punjab. Pakistani Smugglers were caught in the routes of Kashmir and Gujarat who had relations with Khalistani Movement. After knowing all what is going in Golden temple, On Januray 1984, RAW(Research and analysis wing) prepared a plan to abduct Bhindrawale from the Golden Temple Complex. Everything was on point, but the operation never proceeded due to Gandhi’s rejection.
Many leaders went to Bhindrawale to convince him to surrender, but he declined all the proposals. Indira tried to convince Akali Dal to help her arrest bhindrawale, these things ended up futile among government and Akali’s. By 26May, the officials declared that they have failed to convince Bhindrawale and he is out of everyone’s control. Even Shiromani Akali Dal headed by Harchand Singh abandoned him where he declared,“This bird is alone. There are many hunters after it”.Giving his last interview he statedthat,”Sikhs can neither live in India nor with India.”
INDIAN FORCES ENTERS GOLDEN TEMPLE,1984
On 1 June 1984, After the failure of Clinch between Indian Government and militants the former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi ordered Indian army to launch OPERATION BLUE STAR. By June 3 1984, The Indian Army surrounded the holy temple encouraging militants to surrender but all went in vain. However, no one surrendered till 7 pm on 5 June. Taking the situation under consideration, Indira Gandhi ordered the paramilitary and Indian army to open fire at the temple. Without removing shoes, the Indian army and paramilitary entered the temple and started firing at the militants. The battle last till three long days, ending on 8 June. During the fight, 83 army men died leaving 249 injured. According to the reports, 1,592 militants were apprehended.
Sikhs from all over the world criticized the act by the Indian Government hurting their sacred believes. Many Sikh officials resigned their posts, returned their medals given by Indian government. On 31 October,1984 Indira Gandhi was assassinated by the two most trusted bodyguards Satwant Singh and Beant Singh as the revenge of OPERATION BLUE STAR. After the death of Indira Gandhi, Over 3000 sikhs were killed all over the country. This lead to alot of blood shed among Hindu and Sikhs. This was against 1984 Sikh-riots.
SIKHS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ASKING FOR JUSTICE
It’s been 36 years since Blue Star, Still the wounds are fresh.Surely,this is an unforgettable time.Healing takes time,We can heal it with love,affection and empathy among each other. Everyone has suffered in these dark times.Living in the same country with Brotherhood is the best ointment on this wound.
The most deadly disease is spreading all over the world enormously known as CORONA VIRUS. The virus is called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARAS-CoV-2) and the disease it causes is called COVID 19. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Disrupting the life of several humans, disturbing the economic sector of the world as a whole, COVID19 will make the world famine one day.
STRUCTURE OF DISEASE CAUSED BY COVID-19
WHERE WAS THE FIRST CASE OF CORONAVIRUS DISEASE OBSERVED?
This deadly virus appeared for the first time in Wuhan, China in December of 2019 which is now spreading in many countries. The earliest cases had a link to a wholesale food market in Wuhan, also known as the wet market but some had no connections with the market.
According to the reports by SOUTH MORNING POST, a news update channel had reported that A 55-year-old individual from Hubei province in China may have been the first person to have contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. The case was reported back on 17 November 2019. Even with this Nov. 17 case identified, doctors can’t be certain the individual is “patient zero,” or the very first individual to have been infected with SARS-CoV-2. After this almost everyday new five cases were reported and cases increased day after day.
Doctors and Scientists are trying hard to unravel the story of the origin of coronavirus. Some scientists believe that the deadly virus emerged from bats, then probably they hopped to pangolin and transmitted to humans. The disease is now sweeping the world without any animal intermediate.
The Guardian in a report on April 28 quoted professor Stephen Turner, head of the department of microbiology at Melbourne’s Monash University, as saying what is most likely that the virus originated in bats. ‘But that is where his certainty ends,’ the reporter concluded. On the hypothesis that the virus emerged at the Wuhan live animal market from an interaction between an animal and a human, Turner says, ‘I don’t think it is conclusive by any means. Part of the problem is that the information is only as good as the surveillance,’ he said, adding that viruses of this type are circulating all the time in the animal kingdom.
Others says,‘I rather think that COVID-19 is a coronavirus which had an animal reservoir and passed into humans for reasons that are not well known yet,’ said Delfraissy, who is also president of France’s National Consultative Ethics Committee for health and life sciences. Another study claim to have ruled out pangolins as an intermediary because samples of similar viruses taken from pangolins lacked a chain of amino acids seen in the virus now found in humans. We can conclude, the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is still a mystery and it will go longer to unravel this mystery.
SYMPTOMS OF CORONA VIRUS
COVID-19 affects everyone differently. Proper medications are required, some recover from the mild illness without hospitalization.

More than 6.4 million cases have been reported by different countries. Among them the USA is leading holding the cases of COVID-19 worth 1.8 million cases, reporting 100K deaths. More than 380K people are dead in the world. COVID leaving the world famine, destroying the lives of people, the downfall of the economy, and the worst time of the world.
“STATICS OF THE ACTIVE CASES/DEATHS/TOTAL RECORDED CASES PER COUNTRY-“
As per researchers and doctors, the cure for covid19 will take time. But we can stop its spread by easily staying at home in quarantine, washing hands after every 20 minutes and not touching your eyes , nose and mouth repetitively. Take care of the children and old aged people as their immune system is weak as compared to the other adults. Don’t go out unnecessarily.

This terrific murder of a pregnant elephant is intolerable. The act depicted, humanity is no longer left in humans. According to Mohan Krishnan, a forest officer, who narrated the scene on his Facebook account told that the elephant was starving. While searching for food, someone offered her Pineapple filled with crackers probably with the intention of evading her. The terrible act by the humans took the life of two animals, one havn’t even opened his eyes yet. The person behind this cruel act should be punished.
“Her jaw was broken and she was unable to eat after she chewed the pineapple and it exploded in her mouth. It is certain that she was offered the pineapple filled with crackers to eliminate her,” Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) and Chief Wildlife Warden Surendrakumar told PTI. After the post- mortem performed by doctors, it was revealed that the Wild Elephant was pregnant. Mr. Sundar Kumar furthur reported that,“I have directed the forest officials to nab the culprit. We will punish him for ‘hunting’ the elephant”.
Thee Senior Officer added,”It was very weak. When the forest officials approached, the elephant ran into the forest and joined the herd of elephants waiting there. But the next day, the elephant was again found alienated from its herd. Proper treatment was given but unfortunately, it succumbed to its wounds,” he said.
After this horrifying incident, social media fled with thousands of post in the favour of the elephant and demanding the Government to give justice to the elephants and consider that no animal should be harmed by humans. All over the country, everyone condemns this behavior. Bollywood stars like Akshay Kumar and Shraddha Kapoor to cricketers like Virat Kohli are sharing the posts. Even Ratan Tata too expressed his grief about the same.
Recently, Black Lives Matter is trending over social media. But why do we all forget about animals? Don’t they deserve to live? Can’t they stay with their families on Earth? “Every Life Matters” should be the trend irrespective of caste,creed,colour, any discrimination. Everyone is god’s child and everyone as the right to live, grow and have a beautiful life. Let everyone live freely and feel the beauty of life.
We all are the responsible citizens of the country should come together for the justice for animals and make a better place for them. The acts against the animals are reported daily and are increasing day by day. We should join our hands to save the wildlife and support our government and forest services in this beautiful act to save every life because Every Life Matters and even animal lives matters.
