Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820, in Florence, Italy to Frances Nightingale and William Shore Nightingale. She was the younger of two children. Nightingale’s affluent British family belonged to elite social circles. Her mother, Frances, hailed from a family of merchants and took pride in socializing with people of prominent social standing.
Despite her mother’s interest in social climbing, Florence herself was reportedly awkward in social situations. She preferred to avoid being the center of attention whenever possible. Strong-willed, Florence often butted heads with her mother, whom she viewed as overly controlling. Still, like many daughters, she was eager to please her mother.
Florence’s father was William Shore Nightingale, a wealthy landowner who had inherited two estates—one at Lea Hurst, Derbyshire, and the other in Hampshire, Embley Park—when Florence was five years old. Florence was raised on the family estate at Lea Hurst, where her father provided her with a classical education, including studies in German, French and Italian.
From a very young age, Florence Nightingale was active in philanthropy, ministering to the ill and poor people in the village neighboring her family’s estate. By the time she was 16 years old, it was clear to her that nursing was her calling. She believed it to be her divine purpose.
When Nightingale approached her parents and told them about her ambitions to become a nurse, they were not pleased. In fact, her parents forbade her to pursue nursing.
During the Victorian a young lady of Nightingale’s social stature was expected to marry a man of means—not take up a job that was viewed as lowly menial labor by the upper social classes.
When Nightingale was 17 years old, she refused a marriage proposal from a “suitable” gentleman, Richard Monckton Milnes. Nightingale explained her reason for turning him down, saying that while he stimulated her intellectually and romantically, her “moral…active nature…requires satisfaction, and that would not find it in this life.” Determined to pursue her true calling despite her parents’ objections, in 1844, Nightingale enrolled as a nursing student at the Lutheran Hospital of Pastor Fliedner in Kaiserwerth, Germany.
“The greatest patriotism is to tell your country when it is behaving dishonorably, foolishly, viciously.” ― Julian Barnes, Flaubert’s Parrot
Patriotism means love of one’s motherland. The attachment to one’s motherland is as innate as one’s affection for one’s parents. Man’s first loyalty is to himself, then to his family and then to his own country. India is a land of many cultures, traditions, and languages. But Indians stand as one whenever there is a threat to the integrity of India. They stood up unitedly at the time of the Chinese aggression. Recently it has been proved during the Kargil war in Kashmir. Thus, patriotism brings out the qualities of unity, service and sacrifice. Patriotism encourages the noble quality of self- sacrifice for the cause of one’s country.
Gitanjali 35
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake…………BY RABINDRANATH TAGORE
Patriotism, however, sometimes develops a false national pride. The people of a particular geographical area have intolerance for the people of other areas. They even nurse evil feelings and enmity and go to war. This is not real patriotism. We know the horrors of war due to aggressive patriotism.
We have to shed mutual bickering, shed the difference of being high or low and develop the sense of equality and banish untouchability. We have to restore the conditions of Swaraj prevalent prior to British rule. We have to live like the children of the same father.- Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel
Patriotism is a noble virtue when love of one’s country does not lead to the hatred against other nations. One’s love of one’s country should expand itself into a love for all world. Narrow patriotism reeds passions and prejudices and so it is despicable. It brings hatred and wars. True patriotism must seek peace and prosperity of e world. It must be free from narrowness and meanness. It is Possible to combine patriotism with love for the people of the world. Thus, patriotism may least to international brotherhood.
Men, money and material cannot by themselves bring victory or freedom. We must have the motive-power that will inspire us to brave deeds and heroic exploits. -Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
When a query performed on Google implies local results should be shown, the search engine populates a map pack of 3 local results. The map pack has many other names, including “local pack,” or the “Google 3-pack.”
If you own or operate a business that caters to your local community, chances are you qualify to get a Google My Business listing. A quality Google My Business listing can get you one step closer to being added to a local pack.
In this guide, we’ll explore the best way to add your business on Google My Business and offer some tips to increase your local rankings.
Back in March 2021, Google noted that there are more than 2 billion visits to local websites each month. That’s a lot of website traffic.
If you’re a small business owner, your #1 driver of new business is likely going to be referrals.
Referrals are great!
But, even with a referral, most people will still Google your business name to learn more about your business, read reviews, etc — before even contacting you.
What happens when I perform a search on Google for “Cowboy Dinner Tree?”
The right-panel is generated by Google’s Knowledge Graph, but most of the data being populated here is sourced from Google My Business.
Now, what’s interesting about Cowboy Dinner Tree’s GMB listening is they don’t even have ownership of it. It isn’t owned by anyone.
Same with their Yelp, Facebook, etc. Even their website is very web 1.0.
How do they have a Google My Business listing if it isn’t claimed?
Google will automatically create one based on data they collect about businesses (entities). Keep this in mind as we get into the process of creating your own Google My Business listing.
Back to the benefits of owning your Google My Business listing.
You, the owner of your business, can provide the most accurate information about your business and have it displayed when someone does a search for your business on Google.
One of the other major benefits to claiming your Google My Business listing is that some simple optimizations and ongoing activities can help your chances of getting new business from organic search for free.Increase Your Visibilitywith the Listing Management ToolTry for Free →
How to add your business to Google My Business
You’ll have about 3 different scenarios to choose from:
Brand new business: Select Scenario 1 if your business is less than 6 months old.
Listing exists, unclaimed: If your business has been around longer than 6 months, start with Scenario 2 (but you may end up back at Scenario 1).
Listing exists, claimed: If you claimed your listing some time ago but don’t remember the login, the email is no longer active, or another person owns your listing, go with Scenario 3.
Scenario 1: Brand new business
Congratulations! Let’s get you on the path to getting you a Google My Business listing.
Step 2: Sign in to a gmail account that you own. This is important: remember what email address you are using here. This gmail account will be the Primary owner of the listing. Write it down on a post-it or take a screenshot if you need to.
Step 3: Once you have signed in, you’ll get taken to a page like the one below. Click on the Get Started button.
Step 4: Start typing in the name of your business. Google My Business will attempt to locate a listing but since your business is new, you likely don’t have one yet. When you spot the option to “create a business with this name,” click it, then click on Next.
Step 5: Now we need to choose a Business category that best matches your business. For our example, coffee shops are the best matching category. If there are multiple categories that match your business, you’ll be able to add additional categories after your listing has been verified. Once you’ve chosen your category, click Next.
Step 6: Your next move depends on what type of business you operate. If your business is a brick and mortar, then the answer is yes. If you are a service provider (you go to your customers) and don’t have a physical storefront with signage then you will select no. If you are a service provider AND have a physical storefront with signage, then choose yes. Once you’ve made your choice, click Next.
Step 7: Enter your address, then click Next if you answered yes in the previous step. If you chose no in the previous step, you will be asked to enter your service area. Once finished, click Next.
Step 8: If you are displaying your address, you might be asked to point to the exact spot where your business is located. Once finished, click Next. If you are not showing your address, you will be asked to provide your business phone number and website.
Step 9: If you’re showing your address, you’ll be asked if you also serve customers outside of your location. If you are not showing your address, you’ll be asked if you want to get updates and recommendations from Google. Choose your answer, then click Next.
Step 10: If you’re showing your address, you’ll be asked to add your phone number and website. If you are not showing your address, skip to Step 10. Once you’ve added your website address and phone number, click Next.
Step 11: Time to finish and start the verification process! Select “Finish.”
Step 12: If you are showing your address, you’ll be prompted to verify by postcard with an option to add a contact name. If you are hiding your address, you’ll be prompted to add an address for verification purposes. Your address will not be shown but is needed to verify your business.
Step 13: Once you receive the postcard (usually within 5 business days), log back into your listing to verify your listing.
Scenario 2: Listing exists, unclaimed
If your business has been around for at least 6 months, you might already have a Google My Business listing that was automatically created.
Go to Google Maps and perform a search for your business name. If a listing shows up and you see “Claim this business,” then claim it! If you see your listing and there’s a label that says ‘Manage this listing,” then head to Scenario 3.
If you have the option to claim the listing, you’re going to be asked to make sure the information is up to date, then you’ll go through the verification process.
Scenario 3: Listing exists, claimed
Maybe a former employee, an email address you don’t have access to anymore, or a former agency that claimed the listing on your behalf. Whatever the reason is, you don’t have access to your Google My Business listing.
Go to Google and perform a search for your business. Within the panel, you’ll see ‘Suggest an edit • Own this business?’ Select “own this business.”
Google will show the first 2 characters of the email address that owns the listing. Sometimes, this may spark your memory with the email address that you used years ago to claim the listing.
If you don’t know the email address, click on the Request Access button.
More often than not, you’re going to check the box to share your info with the current owners and managers of the listing.
For level of access, choose Ownership.
Your relationship to the business is likely going to be owner since you’re requesting ownership of the listing.
Provide your name and phone number, then submit.
After you submit the form, the current owner of the listing will get an email that asks them if the request is valid. You’ll also receive a confirmation email. Keep the confirmation email.
The current owner of the listing has 3 days to respond to your request. You can check the status of your request by clicking on the link within the confirmation email.
If your request is approved, you’ll get an email confirmation and can then start managing the profile.
If your request is denied, you’re going to need to contact Google My Business support via the Help Center.
Alternatively, you can get in touch with GMB Support on Twitter. It might take them a few days to respond, but they’ve been helpful in the past.
If the current listing owner does not respond within 3 days, you’ll get the option to claim the listing. Sign into g oogle.com/business and you should see an option to verify the listing.
Once you get access to the listing, the first thing you will want to do is make sure that anyone who should have access to the listing does. Since you are now the primary owner of the listing, you can add or remove users from having access.
Next Steps
Once you’ve created or updated your listing, be sure to stay on top of it! Listing management is an important part of ensuring the information around your business is useful and accurate.
Set a predetermined time to check in on your listing, try a few marketing strategies to connect with your audience, and keep an eye out for any user interactions with your listing. You can also use listing management tools to take the guesswork out of managing your listing.
Sometimes a single comment from a friend, a colleague or a stranger can go a long way into shaping who you are as a person. This statement might sound a little far fetched but it is really not. There are thousands (maybe more) of kids who are at the receiving end of such statements everyday. Repeatedly making fun of people, using force to dominate them, making people feel like they don’t belong, all these come under the purview of bullying.
Bullying starts with making unwanted comments on people and making them feel less. Overtime these comments turn harsh and unbearable for the receiver. There are times when people don’t even realize that they are in fact bullying the other person because in their minds it’s all in fun especially when the receiver is just eating it all up. Bullying is often confused with some old fashioned hazing but it is actually more extreme. Hazing is done for fun and to make the receiver a part of the group. On the other hand bullying is done with the sole motive of making a person feel left out, like they don’t fit in. American sitcoms have given us a good picture on how bullying occurs at schools and colleges. We have seen the “cool kids” being mean to a group of friends just because they are intelligent or because they are of a different race or maybe because they are new to that school/college. We also know that this is how those kids establish their power. And if their so called “power” to make others feel small makes them “cool”, then we need to think long and hard about where the kids are headed.
What are the reasons for the occurrence of bullying?
There are several reasons as to why people feel it is okay to bully others. Even though none of them are justified, people just say it to make themselves feel better about themselves. One of the major reasons is to gain power and popularity. There was a time when popularity came from being a good person but now it’s all about who people are more afraid of. Bullies use force to assert their power over those who can’t. A more complicated reason is that the bully has no power at home so he/she establishes it at school to compensate and feel good. In what world is that balancing it out? Another more complicated reason would be the fact that the bully was once at the receiving end of those hurtful comments and now wishes to transfer that hate onto others. In addition to this, people who are generally unhappy in life tend to take their anger out on others in form of unwanted slurs. Lastly, peer pressure also plays an important role in turning a person into a bully. Sometimes people are so eager to fit in, they pick up the habits of their fellow mates without realizing if they are good or bad. And soon it becomes habit.
The above mentioned reasons are not the end of a long list of causes of why bullying occurs. There are many psychological and mental issues that push a person to become a bully. It must be noted that, as against the common notion bullying does not occur at school or college levels only. People of all age groups face bullying in one form or the other. The bullying could be verbal (teasing, taunting, etc), social (spreading rumors, embarrassing on purpose, etc) and physical (stripping, pushing, punching, etc). These acts have the capacity to put a dent in the personality of the receiver and thus needs to be stopped. How many innocent lives must be lost before it is too late!!

The active life of man has been hindered by this invisible enemy. Now we find people busying themselves with the world of virtual reality and has accepted as if it were familiar and ordinary.
But this swapping of the worlds has seriously affected its inhabitants especially, the younger generations. They are been confined into the limited space of their rooms which becomes their home, school, playground, etc. They have lost the touch with the outside world, which made them to communicate with other human beings of their age, they no longer play with them or have any fun associations with others. The constant exposure to the technological gadgets in the form of mobiles and computers have ruined the happiness of their glorious time. This cloistered lifestyle has many bad effects, one of which is the Suicides. It is alarmin to see the number of suicidal cases increasing day by day.
Who are the most effected?

How to deal with it?
Do not suppress your feelings and emotions. Let it out to someone you trust.
Do not be a recluse while dealing with a problem, engage yourself with some creative processes like doing something that is useful.
Do something that gives you pleasure. For instance, painting, music, dance, reading and many more. Do not use this advice, as an excuse for doing anything as you wish. The activities should be selected in terms of their positive effect on the doer.
If you are a believer, practice prayers. No matter what religion you follow, pray to the God, that you believe in. Because prayers are the excellent source of meditation, it has the capacity to sooth mind. This will eventually help you to retain the faith in your own Self.
Try to remain positive. Sufferings are boons in disguise. It is one of the ways to work out the effect of past actions. Learn a lesson from sufferings.

They will be longing for popularity and respect accompanied by the interest for committing in relationships and lack of attention for others’ emotions.
They get embarrassed because of things that isn’t happening whatever they dream off which becomes primary obstacle for them in life. Their meek expressions/actions are a kind of awful sometimes according to circumstances that makes annoyed.
Narcissistic meaning
People become mad of their physical appearance and care intensively for their commitments over thinking them repeatedly. Their sense of quick annoyance breaks their bonds often leaving them under loneliness. Their stressful alone life makes them still weaker and lose their thinking ability (IQ).
Narcissistic definition

They are outspoken and unbearable ones so their links are loosened.
NPD
It is a kind of advanced and serious stage of person when they get stressed more for their never-ending desires or prolonged needs. But their inner voice language of their own considers as a empty one with none to trust or to relay on.
It can be observed that nearly 5% of every society and community has people with this effect. They subconscious mind has lost control because of the heart feelings causing trouble for their connections. It will arise when you face situations in a childhood stage or as a teenager.
Narcissist Behavior
They behave in an arrogant and uncontrollable way that seems endless to bring them to consciousness. To take advantage over your peers to reach your height of dreams. Also hesitating to consider others requirements to be done which reflects a brutal behavior, as if using them as a slave for own purposes and throwing away.
Admiring about being more like a god in all attributes like attraction, popularity, brilliance etc. Especially elders lose control if they have this disorder failing to focus on reality and truth.
Signs of narcissist
It can be found out by a bit of diagnosis by questioning on various general ideas that makes the affected person reveal the true identity as they speak out to all the random topics asked by the psychotherapist driving them to distress.
Also, the conditions of your heath will act as an evidence of this disorder. It is a hereditary disorder so you can try figuring it out by consulting a psychotherapist as it may add new features to you character taking you to a worst mentality.
Complications of NPD
People can find absolute troubles to maintain their positivity and relationship among their own surroundings as a vulnerable act getting exposed to drugs or drinks as a support to overflow your emotions initiated by depression and thoughts of suicidal acts.
Causes of NPD
The traces of this disorder are not accurate somehow as it develops in people due to various factors
The incidents that have tear you apart in life (like physically or verbally)
Betrayal of your beloved ones especially friends or parents and
Due to physical appearance or temperament
Remedies of narcissistic personality disorder
The relief out of this disorder is to treat you under a psychologist for longer duration of years since it is the only permanent solution to change your attitude and wake up your consciousness to interact with people more reliably in a positive and healthy manner. Try using some drugs prescribed by doctors that relaxes your depression and enhances your mood by stabilizing it preciously.
This is just like a side-effect of our stress of over thinking and reacting to certain intolerable incidents but surpass them by sharing and forgiving things instead of caring about what can’t be undone. Try to unjust and undergo things as nothing is permanent in life.
“Life is a track where you have to take turns to travel your journey and admit to face your reality but it never lets you travel back”
Concentrate on some other things to divert your focus on what you lost. Use your pain to gain your success instead of allowing it to consume you.
Help yourself to cope up and to recover from instances share things that will make you light and opt for things that will make you prosper in life.
People might help you out if you share your pain with them. So be good and do good to gain good things in life….

Are you a person lacking confidence and hope in everything? Trying hard to be an optimistic person? It’s very easy. Let’s see how to be optimistic in everything through this article.
WHO IS A PESSIMIST?
A pessimist is a person who thinks the worst side of anything or they have a thought that they can’t do it. These pessimistic thoughts came from fear to do something. They often focus on the negative side or an unfavorable situation rather than thinking about what is going right. A pessimistic person is more likely to notice problems or it may cause anxiety to them. These types of people may have depression because of this. If we want to know clearly, it is a personality trait. These pessimistic persons wouldn’t believe anyone because they don’t know whether those persons have good intentions. To put it simply, they don’t believe anyone firmly.
According to research, pessimism is associated with the right hemisphere of the brain and the lower self-esteem was also associated with the right side of the brain. Though pessimism is a perspective that affects the general worldview, it is not an unchangeable trait that can’t be changed throughout the lifetime. A pessimistic person can also be optimistic like others.
” A pessimist is an optimist in full possession of the facts “.
– Arthur Schopenhauer
COME ON; LET US BE OPTIMISTIC!
Till now, we saw about pessimism; Being optimistic is a wonderful thought that make us feel self-confident and self- aware. As we saw, pessimism is connected to the right side of the brain and optimism is connected to the left side of the brain. But we should know that both the right and left brains are necessary to maintain a healthy state. Yes, both optimism and pessimism are related to each other and necessary to maintain a healthy life. But sometimes, the pessimistic thoughts may come upon the optimistic thoughts. The only thing is we should control our pessimistic thoughts.
Just follow few tips and automatically be an optimistic person. Yeah, that’s for sure.
First, learn to be grateful. Being grateful makes you both optimistic and have a great personality. Even if it is a small thing, be grateful to the one who helped you. For example, if one helped you during your difficult times, don’t forget their help when you reached some peaks in your career or life. So, grateful and optimistic feel makes you feel better than anything.
Always believe that you can do it even when no one can! In this case, being optimistic helps you to achieve it. Just believe and move towards your goal. Let me say myself as an example, I love photography and I participate in many inter-collegiate competitions. Till now, I didn’t win any prizes, but I continue to pursue my dream. And I hope one day I will be able to win the prize. Just trim yourself to be a better and confident individual.
Don’t think that it is impossible. When the word impossible reaches your mind or heart you can’t do anything, don’t allow it. Anything is possible if you are very optimistic and confident. Think about it, if anyone can do your work, why are you here? Just ask this yourself and find yourself in yourself.
If there is some problem, just look into a solution rather than blowing it into a big volcano. Be calm and shuttle, think optimistically, and seek solutions. It will be good for you and your loved ones.
Then, focus on the things which are under your control. Don’t look into things that are out of your control. Because those things can disturb you and make you a pessimist sometimes.
Lastly, love fearlessly and no one can stop you in this. Yes, pursue your love optimistically. Your love can either be your career or dream or anything just pursue it optimistically. And learn to see beauty in small things. For example, none of us would say,’ I don’t like a child ‘ because we forget ourselves when we are with them. This is an optimistic feel. If there is a smile on that child’s face without any doubt we will be happy, Right? That’s it. This tells you how optimistic you are!!
Both optimism and pessimism are needed in our life but they should be kept at an equal level to maintain a healthy and a happy life.

The Dream Catcher
Globalisation has brought the world under a big digital umbrella, which helps everyone across the globe to connect, understand and imbibe with people all around them. As a part of this, we see a world that moves alongside the trends adapting and taking inspiration from any possible nooks and corners. One such pop-culture artefact that caught the eyes of the netizens was the Dreamcatcher. If you have watched the Twilight series, the enigmatic hoop that Jacob gifts Bella might have caught your eye. The dainty piece famous for its rusty looks, not only is a collection piece that could decorate your room but is also a powerful tool used by the Native Americans.
In the traditional Native American narrative, dreamcatchers are handmade hoops made out of willow wood, embellished with feathers and beads, which would act as an armour of protection against bad dreams. The Native American tribe of Ojibwes are known to be the founders of the dreamcatchers. The Godmother of the Ojibwes, Asibaikaashi or the Spider Woman, found it extremely difficult to look after her people as the Ojibwe community started being nomadic. According to the old Objiwen tales, their women had to find an alternative method to protect their families. As a solution to it, they started weaving magical webs with charms for protection.
Dreamcatchers in the present day are decor pieces that add a pop of indigenous feeling to your living space. But the Native American myths compare the dreamcatchers to sieves, which would filter your dreams while you are sleeping and only let the good dreams reach you. The structure of dreamcatchers also has an interesting myth behind it. The circular pattern that it is made in symbolises the shape of the earth. The web that is woven within is said to absorb the bad dreams and the feathers, the path that would lead the good dreams into you. If you are interested in owning a dreamcatcher you can find several DIY videos on how to make one. Let me know in the comments below if you own a dreamcatcher and whether you knew about the history of dreamcatchers even before.
As Work from Home becomes the new norm, 23% of carbon emissions have dropped globally just because of a decrease in transportation.
Here are few positive as well as negative impacts the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the environment.
Positive impact of the pandemic on the environment
There is more freshwater available
As the majority of industries have reduced activities, the water consumption of the industrial sector has decreased to about 20-30%. The hotels and health clubs are not functioning to full capacity either, hence a decrease in water consumption has been observed. It has also been noted that people tend to be more efficient with water at home than hotels and resorts.
The vegetation is growing better
Due to less human interference, plants are exposed to better air quality and clean water. The amount of oxygen and other nutrients required for their growth are not polluted and hence allow plants to grow.
Reduction of air pollution
A drop of 25% in carbon dioxide emissions along with 40% in nitrogen oxide emissions was
observed in Italy during the self-isolation period. Energy-related CO2 emissions in India is on track with value 1.8 as per SDG report 2020. Air quality improved because of a reduction in road traffic, air traffic, and factory emissions of carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxide and particular matter formation.
Decreasing demand for oil
Due to the decrease in fuel demands for factories and travel, there has been a sharp decline by 435,000 barrels a day in the first quarter of 2020, due to the pandemic. Oil pollution also harms animals and insects, disrupts the food chain, and prevents photosynthesis in plants. Oil contamination can make water unsuitable for irrigation and damage irrigation plants.
Negative impacts of the pandemic on the environment
Increasing organic waste
Due to a sharp decline in the cargo transportation services, the export and import of various essential commodities have come to a standstill.
Waste management is getting difficult
Garbage contaminated with Medical waste has increased. There has been no evidence related to human contact of waste leading to the transmission of the virus. Many local waste recycling centers have suspended their activities
over the fear of virus circulation in the recycling centres.
Increasing non-recyclable waste
With increasing home deliveries during the lockdown, meals and online shopping surged which requires a lot of plastic packaging. Production and disposal of surgical masks, gloves, protective equipment and body bags have increased due to the COVID-19 crisis but all the waste generated ends up adding on the landfills and the environment.
Ecosystem at risk – Illegal deforestation, fishing and wildlife
Environment protection workers at national parks, land, marine conservation zones were required to stay at home during lockdown resulting in leaving these areas unmonitored. The decline in ecotourism activity has led to an increase in unemployment in the regions frequented by tourists.
You wake up in the morning and get ready to go to school. Picking out clothes can sometimes be a little emotional for you. Like 91 percent of other girls, you are unhappy with the way you look. Doing your makeup isn’t easy either. The day that you ran out of time to put any on, someone called your skin gross. A few days later, your friend tells you you’d be prettier if you just didn’t wear so much makeup. You glance at the fashion magazines on your nightstand, where Kerry Washington or Emma Watson or it doesn’t really matter who is laughing at you with a frozen, glossy smile. They never had to worry about this, did they?
You arrive at school. Your first class is calculus. The class has more girls than boys, so you have some close friends in the class who have been helping you with your homework the past few days. This unit has been particularly challenging. At the end of class, you walk over to the teacher’s desk to grab some extra review sheets. A male classmate of yours is trying to argue his way into a C- on a recent test; he is doing far worse than you are. Before you make it to the door the teacher catches you and says, “I see you’ve been having some trouble lately. Are you sure this class is the right place for you? You may want to think about switching down a level.” You politely assure him you’ll stay where you are.
Your day is fine until lunch. The hot line option is chicken fingers and French fries, your favorite. You walk over to your lunch table with your friends and sit down. The girls are all eating salad. They look at your French fries, then at you, then back to their lettuce bowls. They’ll never admit they’d rather be eating fries. One girl eventually comments, “Why don’t you like salad? It’s so much better for you. Fewer carbs. You won’t gain any weight.” You lose your appetite and end up throwing half of your meal away. But then your friend slides her fruit cup across the table. “You gotta have something in front of you or you’ll look anorexic or something.”
The rest of the day is uneventful, but it’s a Friday, and you are so tired and stressed by the end of the day by the homework you’ll have to do this weekend and your low-paying babysitting job. You’re managing OK, but you snap when your male friend says your dress makes you look like a housewife. “Calm down,” he says. “It was just a joke. Are you on your period or something?” Despite your annoyance, this reminds you that your time of the month is next week, and you’re going to have to buy tampons on the way home. Throughout the course of your life, you will end up spending $1,773.33 on tampons alone. And this kid in your econ class was arguing today that the pink tax is a myth.
You stay in for the night and your friend comes over to watch a movie. The two of you decide to grab some candy and you run to the CVS down the street. You are walking home; it’s not too late but your street is dark. As a car slowly drives by, you tense up. The other day someone whistled at you from their car, and you’ve felt a bit uneasy on the sidewalk ever since. You are part of the 99 percent of women who have experienced street harassment in their lives. You desperately try to remember the self-defense lesson you got in middle school–was it go for the eyes or do you try to run?–when you realize the car is only waiting to pull into the driveway you’ve just crossed.
This story is not my story, per se, though parts of it resonant daily. The teen feminists I know often paint sexism in broad strokes as we discuss narrowing the wage gap, legalizing reproductive health and destroying the patriarchy once and for all. These are all important issues to discuss and to work towards. But sometimes we forget about the microaggressions, the comments that slide under the radar, the inherent sexism ingrained in our entire society—not just from males.
This is why I need feminism—because there are things that women have to hear, see and endure that men will never have to, and that’s not right. Gender equality does not only mean equality in the eyes of the law. It means that women can feel safe walking alone at night. It means women can see themselves represented in their classes and media. It means women are taken seriously in any context or capacity. It means that women’s bodies, with all their nuances, organs and curves, are treated with love and equal respect. We’re not there yet. We need feminism.
FILM: PINK LANGUAGE: HINDI GENRE: THRILLER/DRAMA REALEASE DATE: 16 SEPTEMBER 2016 DIRECTOR: ANIRUDDHA ROY CHOWDHURY SCREENPLAY: ANIRUDDHA ROY CHOWDHURY, SHOOJIT SIRCAR, RITESH SHAH CINEMATOGRAPHY: ABHIK MUKHOPADHYAY CASTS: AMITABH BACHCHAN, TAPSEE PANNU, KIRTI KULHARI, ANDRIA TARIANG, ANGAD BEDI, VIJAY VARMA
Pink is a powerful, socially relevant, mainstream film that is bound to make you think about the society we are living in. It challenges the orthodox mindset of people regarding woman in our country. Narrated in a linearly, it brings forward the concept of ‘sexual consent’. No means No , no matter what. This film talks about patriarchy, gender discrimination, double standards etc & keeps viewers glued to the screen from the very beginning with its killer performance and fearsome dialogue delivery. This is Anirudhdha Chopra’s first try on Bollywood, and what a debut it is.
Synopsis
The story is about three independent girls Minal Arora (Tapsee Pannu), Falak Ali (Kirti Kulhari), & Andrea Tariang (Andrea Tariang) living within the outskirts of Delhi who are friends and flatmates. After a rock concert, they meet Rajveer (Angad Bedi) nephew of a very influential political person, and his friends. Minal and friends accept dinner invitations at a resort from them.
Rajeev tries to molest and seduce Minal to which she smashes his head with a bottle for self-defense. Rajeev is seriously injured and plans to take revenge on her with the assistance of his friends. Minal along with her friend files an FIR against them. Rajveer with his political influence get Minal arrested for an attempt to murder with Minal’s case being handled by Deepak Saigal (Amitabh Bachchan). The film revolves around how Deepak Saigal fights the case against these influential boys.
Direction
Aniruddha Chaudhary has directed the film in such a way that the soul of the film isn’t lost in any scene. Also, the courtroom scenes are not shown as how a typical Bollywood film does so.
Performance
Amitabh Bachchan with his thunderous performance will leave the audience in awe. The performances of Tapsee Pannu and Kirti Kulhari are highly commendable and laudable, especially the scenes within the court room. Andrea Tariang is extremely natural and lives within the character. She is fine in her role as debutant actress. Angad Bedi delivers remarkable performance and makes the foremost of his limited screen time.
Screenplay & Dialogue
The movie is written realistically and does not deviate from the core theme. Screenplay & dialogues are undoubtedly the backbone of this film. Court room scenes are written in such a way that it creates suspense to the audience. The dialogues are powerful and energetic conveying socially relevant messages without beating around the bush. There are many interesting and fantastic scenes in the film.
Music
It is unarguably one of the best part in the movie. The song ‘Kaari Kaari’ is well placed in the film as it creates the mood in delivering the message to the audience. Incredibly emotional, this song gives massive goosebumps every time you listen to it. The background score also works as an additional key element to the movie. Pink is a mixture of various emotions. This film gives a tight slap to people who think woman’s social friendliness and gestures are an invitation to men for sleeping with them. A woman has the complete right to wear short skirts, to drink, party hard, comes home late at night and so on without any doubt. Exposing India’s real face, this film is truly a landmark in Indian Cinema. In short, Pink is bloody brilliant and deserves a watch.
