Top 5 Films by Aparna Sen to Watch This #WomensDay

Image
Aparna Sen is a respected name in Indian cinema. She started acting at 15 with Satyajit Ray's "Teen Kanya". In 1981, she directed her first feature film and thus began the journey of filmmaker Aparna Sen. Most of her movies have highlighted women and their lives from different perspectives. Her films have a powerful storyline, and her characters are real people, mostly placed in some unique situations.  Today, I have listed a few films from the veteran Filmmaker that can be watched this Women's Day: 1. 36 Chowringhee Lane (1981): This film tells the story of a senior Anglo-Indian school teacher living in an apartment alone, only with her cat for company. One day, by chance, she meets her ex-student and her boyfriend. The movie's story gradually progresses after that. The beautiful film highlights how loneliness can make someone attached to others, overlooking the red flags. And when she needs them the most, they would be nowhere.

Ba and Bakul Celebrates Brenda's Birthday in Baroda #BlogchatterBlogHop

Image
Finally, Brenda had completed her project after spending almost 5 months in Mumbai. Now, it was time to return home. But wasn't she missing something? She had taken all the reports she had been collecting throughout her stay. She had shopped cute gifts for her family and friends back home. Then what was it that she was missing out? It was "Ba and Bakul", how could she forget them. They were the most interesting and warm people she had ever met. She had to meet them; yes, she had to. She sent Bakul a Whatssapp message. She would be staying for 4 more days in India. If Ba and Bakul could meet her, it would be the best possible Grand Finale for her trip. Bakul was so excited to hear that Brenda would visit them at Baroda that he immediately made a video call.  "Hey, let me mail you the tickets, Brenda. We will be so happy to have you here." His bright smile showed his happiness. "Oh, I will book the ticket. When will it be okay with you?" " Today, to...

Fun with Flora #BlogaberryCC

Flora was sitting at the corner of the bar, trying to figure out the picture of the man on her phone. She remembered Fa's words, "Flo, this time full Bollywood hero- strong & fun like Bhaijan."Flora knew that was her father's failed attempt, so she took at least some interest in his prospective son-in-law. Flora knew very well that profile pictures can be deceptive, but neither did she care. But her investigative mind tried to understand the real person inside through the picture. A sudden tap on her shoulders distracted her. She found a well-built man with a particularly loud moustache smiling at her. She could have easily mistaken her as one of the bouncers standing at the club's door if he was not at the bar. She wondered what Fa's reaction would have been if he had tried to find "Bhaijan" in him. Fa has this habit of exaggerating things.  The man sat across from Flora, "I am Frederick; you can call me Freddie." He tried to ease hims...
