Described by many as \u2018one of the greatest filmmakers to have ever lived\u2019, Quentin Tarantino is truly an epitome of bold and fearless filmmaking. Films like Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs have changed the very perception of independent filmmaking. Tarantino\u2019s films depict nonlinear story lines with huge emphasis on dialogues, coupled with violence and ensemble casts, usually comprised of lesser known actors and actresses, at least in his earlier films. Tarantino often makes fantastic references to pop culture in his films, and deeply explores the darker side of human nature. No wonder his films consist of scenes with terrific dark humour. <\/p>
<\/p>
One has to agree that Quentin Tarantino is on another level of movie buffs. He never attended film school, and worked in video parlours in his younger years. Even then his knowledge about movies was astounding as reported by some. Tarantino perfectly puts his knowledge to good use in his films and creates some scenes which are jaw dropping, Consider a movie like Pulp Fiction. Some people after seeing the movie were left dumbfounded. Almost all were asking each other what \u2018mess had they just seen?\u2019 But as one examines the plot and writing done for Pulp Fiction, it only reveals the genius called Tarantino. He has perfectly created characters with deep psychological, dark and humorous secrets, and then dedicates each scene to one or more of them. The movie ends exactly where it started, unfolding many great concepts and stories on the way. <\/p>
People who have watched all his movies may realize that Tarantino started out with crime comedy films, but has also gradually ventured out to concern some of his future films with other events or topics like Nazism or Slavery. The results as usual, have turned out be some of the greatest films ever made, such as Inglorious Bastards or Django Unchained. There are lot of people out there who do not agree with his style of filmmaking, but eventually one has to ponder over the fact he has in fact changed the very perception of watching movies. He often states that he is going to retire soon, but one wonders if someone in future could even be a fraction of the filmmaker he is.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1526583206833","data":"5afdd0dbdcca3"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1526581319734","data":"5afdc97aa756b"}]
Gender Sensitization Committee Against Sexual Harassment [GSCASH]. <\/b>As a student representator and serving one year in University of Hyderabad, let\u2019s us know the basics about what is sexual harassment, and what not to do if one goes though such abuses. <\/p>
What is sexual harassment? <\/u><\/b><\/p>
Includes any unwelcome behaviour such as <\/p>
\n\u2022\tPhysical contact and advances<\/p>
\n\u2022\tDemand or request for sexual favours<\/p>
\n\u2022\tSexually coloured remarks <\/p>
\u2022\tUnwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conducts of sexual nature<\/p>
\n\u2022\tUNWELCOME is the key in defining sexual harassment.\nIt is the effect on the recipient that will define the behaviour as sexual harassment \nCommon Examples of Harassment <\/u><\/b><\/p>
\u2022\t Irritating comments on physical appearance<\/p>
\u2022\tStalking<\/p>
\u2022\tStaring in an unwelcome way <\/p>
\u2022\tTouching without permission, whistling etc.\nOr sending unwelcome content on<\/p>
\u2022\tEmail, phone calls, sms, facebook <\/p>
\n\u2022\tShowing pornography\nPressuring into unwanted relationships <\/p>
\nWhat not to do? <\/u><\/b><\/p>
\u2022\t Do not blame yourself. Sexual harassment is not something one brings on oneself. It is not a consequence of certain ways of dressing or acting. It is a violation of an individual\u2019s right to work and live with dignity. <\/p>
\u2022\tDo not ignore it. Ignoring sexual harassment does not make it go away. The harasser may misinterpret a lack of response as approval of the behaviour.<\/p>
\n\u2022\tDo not delay. Delay in action increases the probability that unwanted behaviour will continue or escalate. <\/p>
\u2022\tDo not hesitate to ask for help. Speaking up may also prevent others from being harmed. <\/p>
SAY NO TO SEXUAL HARASSMENT. IT\u2019S NOT ABOUT YOU, IT\u2019S THEM.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1526576076503","data":"5afdb50bf068a"}]

Do you believe that grades define you?<\/p>
Yes they help us in getting admitted to good college but they don't decide our career.We are always under that pressure either from school, or from parents , or from society -if you dont perform well in exams and don't get good marks , you are going to end your career. Under this pressure we study till late nights and try to score good. But is it fruitful ?<\/p>
It is not that schools don't see betterment of students.Schools take exams just to check student's knowledge , they want students to study deeply and come to know something new. But it is our surroundings..! That environment is created around , a strong belief is build that you achieve something in life if you score high . Even students don't study and make the concepts clear but they just want to score high .<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1526571897420","data":"5afda57a0be51"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1526571908213","data":"
Today the scenario has been created that students study just 1 night before the exams . Is that real study or just cramming ? Obviously cramming ...!!! Still you give more importance to grades ?<\/p>
Studying a night before exam and that 3 hours of exam cannot decide your future . <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1526571927808","data":"5afda57de4328"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1526571937698","data":"
Or a single sheet of marksheet do not define you.<\/p>
There are many great examples set for it. We see very successful people around like Sachin Tendulkar, Mukesh ambani , Smriti Irani and many more whoo are school \/ college dropouts but have still won our hearts. Are they successful due to their grades ? It is their continuous efforts and hard work that have payed off.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1526571961716","data":"5afda5a054ff4"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1526571973452","data":"

The current results of the Assembly elections in Karnataka is nothing out of the blue. The new government was bound to be an alliance between two parties but what is surprising is the recent turn of events after the results were announced. Certain new developments indicate towards the poor orchestration in Indian politics which is increasingly becoming apparent.<\/p>
As counting was underway on 15th May, BJP had taken a lead in 118 seats. Celebrations had already started the BJP State and National Headquarters. But gradually, the Congress and JD(S) picked up their pace and as the day ended, BJP fell short of the majority mark by a few seats. Congress won 78 seats while the JD(S) trailed far behind at 37. But, the Congress was quick in it's actions this time and offered the post of CM to the JD(S). They had already announced that a Dalit would be the CM if JD(S) forms an alliance with them. All these events indicate towards nothing but the desperation of the Congress to hold power. They have proved there is no permanent friend or enemy in Indian Politics. The JD(S) and Congress had fallen out of agreement in the past, with a similar case with BJP and JD(S) as well. But when it comes to holding power, no pride or prestige holds any importance in India. The Congress once again took advantage of caste politics as it has throughout it's history.<\/p>
One cannot rule out the master strategist Amit Shah as yet. The BJP supposedly has taken advantage of it;s brute power and offered 100 crore each to a few MLAs of the Congress and JD(S). The Congress acted swiftly on this new development and sent some of their MLAs packing to a posh 5 Star resort, paying for all their expenses but preventing them from interacting with anyone. Is this some kind of joke, where kids don't let their friends meet anyone else due to the fear of losing them. Politicians are running amock, the media is going berserk, and the general public is kept in the dark. One wonders how long this mess is going to continue.<\/p>
Update:<\/b> The Honorable Governor of Karnataka Shri Vajubhai Vala has invited Shri Yeddyurappa to form the government and has given him 15 days time. This is expected as Shri Vala is an old hand of Modi and has been an active member of BJP since decades. The Congress has stated it would move the Supreme Court if needed. Lets see where this drama eventually unfolds.<\/i><\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1526491727427","data":"5afc6b7b3f5fd"}]
India after Gandhi is a magnificently told history of the world\u2019s largest democracy, which has crafted the insightful and spirited account of India since 1947.\nThe book captures India\u2019s 60 years of history with various events that took place after independence. <\/p>
The emergence of some interesting events such as the Kashmir problem, North-East problem, the wars the revolts etc where the incorporation of the princely states the British India has been ignorant and there was a political breakdown between the Muslim league and the congress party which led to the partition of the Muslim league. Guha attributes to the four major factors like caste, class, religion and language that gave rise to many other problems like untouchability, riots etc. The constitution giving the recommendation for the reservation for the untouchables which led to a very horrible discrimination among where it was Gandhi who himself made the new terms for the \u2018Untouchables\u2019 which was \u2018Harijans\u2019 or \u2018children of God\u2019 which were later known as Dalits and the Scheduled Castes. The condition worsens up for them as the constitutional assurance that was given to them was reinforced by the different government from time to time. The makers of the country have equality in the government but not in the society. M.N.Srinivas then went on to show how Indian politics was shot through with caste rivalries in which he refers to the different castes of different places like in Andhra Pradesh the kammas, in Mysore, in Maharashtra and Madras the political conflict between Brahmin and the non-Brahmin, in Bihar the Bhumihars and Rajputs in Uttar Pradesh the tussle between the Rajputs and Chamars where the caste system was by no means unaffected by the economic and social changes unleashed by Independence. The Dalits problem was a severe one because there has not been a working-class women functioning with the government and in other countries the Dalits were also given the same importance. With B R Ambedkar Dalits now know that they have a place in the constitution and wherever there was Dalits Ambedkar was being remembered and worshiped. \n <\/p>
Guha also questioned the growth of regional parties and the populist policies that has weakened India. The book also talks about the museum of Sikh history to see the ennobling Indira Gandhi killers. The Babri Masjid controversy which led to numerous inter-religious riots. The linguist movement in pre independence era which led to the creation of linguist province in free India. The book is a celebration to the survival of Indian nation for all the riots and the events India would have been able to survive as a country with a relatively stable democracy without sinking into chaos.<\/p>
India is the only democracy where the lower orders vote more enthusiastically than the privileged groups and considering the size of electorate in India people vote more in India\u2019s election than in any other country. India\u2019s nationalism has not only been based on language, religion etc but India emerged as a nation on the world stage without an armed conflict or the threat of one. \n<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1526484375143","data":"5afc4ec4be29d"}]

\"Why can't you love me?\" he scowled.\n\"I can't, I've never seen you that way. How difficult is it for you to understand?\" She frowned.\n\"I can't love you when I know you're not that piece of my puzzle.\" She responded with a heavy heart.<\/p>\n
You fell in love with her. You fell in love with her smile. You fell in love for how beautiful she is on the inside. There maybe some unspoken rules of Love. But the necessity of loving someone back is not one of them.<\/p>\n
Your jealousy is strong. When you see her in someone else's arms, you go insane.<\/p>\n
Is that love? \nOr is it love that keeps you sane. \nInstead of driving you crazy, it'd make you realize she's a free bird who has just found a new cozy nest and deserves to live in it.<\/p>\n
I think it is just unfair how she thinks of your feelings before she cares about her own.<\/p>\n
Ever asked her why? \nIt is because you were there for her.<\/p>\n
Every time she needed someone to talk. Every time she needed a little light to see through the darkness in her life. You were there. Hence, She CARES about you.\nLove is not something you can force out of people. It's a feeling that grows like a plant. You cannot expect her to give you mangoes when all she has are flowers. This is the way it is and YOU, you need to accept it. \nWhen you love someone, you don't pass over an obligation to love back. Love is just given to someone you care about because you want to, because you think they deserve it. When did loving someone turn into a necessity of relationship? When did we slowly start to forget those other bonds of trust and compassion those held people together? Your love isn't strong as you claim it to be if you see destruction of your own happiness when she doesn't choose you. You're scared about being hurt. She is too, while she's hurting. Can you handle that if you were in her place?<\/p>\n
When she finally removed all the thorns of her past and found roses, all you do is lead her to a new field of cactus?<\/p>\n
Is that what your love is?<\/p>\n
She is weak they said. Yes, she is. Weak as she cannot choose her hurt over your feelings. Weak as she cannot push you away with all your feelings. You matter to her but you do not know that. You're blinded by jealousy. \nThere's a saying about there being a thin line between friendship and love. Either way, both the relationships are beautiful. You just need that heart to feel it and eyes to see.<\/p>\n","id":"1526405703604","type":"txt"}]
