1. Name: Gaurika Khanduri
2. Movie: Photograph
3. Director: Ritesh Batra
4. Genre: Romance/Drama
5. Introduction:
   A shy girl (Sanya Malhotra) gets clicked by a struggling photographer (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) one day. The photographer is under his grandmother’s tremendous pressure of getting married and as they say ‘settling down’. In order to pacify the grandmother, he sends her a picture of the lady he clicked giving her the hint that he is finally convinced and has found the ‘right person’ on his own. He convinces the woman to then act like his fiancée for the grandmother. Between this ruckus, the two individuals bond and develop feelings for one another.
6. Plot Synopsis:
   CA aspirant and topper Miloni (Sanya Malhotra) feels succumbed by the academic pressure that the family and her surroundings create. She is shy, submissive and the typical ‘topper didi’ who does nothing but study. One day near the gateway of India she stumbles upon a photographer who clicks a picture of her. Our photographer Rafi is a bachelor boy who is pressured by his grandmother to get married. He sends the grandmother a picture of Miloni and asks her to be his fake girlfriend infront of his grandmother. They soon realise that the relationship they shared was much more than what they pretended to be.
7. Themes:
   Romance
   Nostalgia
   Mumbai
   Simplicity
8. Visual elements:
   With mediocre shots and a simple yet great script the movie attempts to grasp the viewer’s attention and successfully directs them towards discovering unexpected love and sense of nostalgia and longing. Set in Mumbai City, from the chawls to the middle class house household the movie takes us everywhere. The angles and shots were average in comparison to the storyline and acting.
9. Conclusion:
   All in all the movie is a treat to the soul. It is short, sweet and worth all the time. It leaves you with a list of rhetoric questions about life and nostalgia. Both the actors pulled off their characters and did a phenomenal job. It’s a movie wherein the time felt old, love omnipresent and perspectives all different. It was like a poetry weaved in cinematic reels. A must watch for a tired Monday night. It’d give it a 3.5/5.

Larry King, longtime television and radio show host talks about the importance of being intensely curious and to the point with the questions in an interview. Through Larry King’s interview I came to learn more about the art of forming a ‘good’ questionnaire and conducting an interview. The focus of the interview should be on the interviewee and not the interview. Interviewers must be insanely curious and should listen to the person being interviewed with all ears because this activity would help the interviewer carry a casual yet brilliant interview. Listening to the interviewee would make him even more invested and interested in the conversation and would further help in easing the process.

C-HIVE SESSION ON SUSTAINABLE MENSTRUAL HYGIENE
Ms Smita Kulkarni, co-founder of The Stone Soup, a company that makes reusable menstrual products, came to Christ Deemed to be University for the weekly C-hive session on the 21st September 2019 at the Sky View in the Central block to talk about the importance of sustainable menstrual hygiene.
It was an interactive session wherein Ms. Smita and her team member acquainted us with the disastrous and substandard effects that single-use pads and tampons have on the environment. Such products are non-biodegradable and stay on the earth for a long time resulting in them piling up as garbage and further polluting the environment. The chemicals and plastic that the tampons and disposable pads contain are harmful to women’s health. According to estimates, a woman uses up to nearly 10,000 sanitary pads during her reproductive age and it takes around 500-800 years to decompose. This is costly, not only for our pockets but also for the environment.
The women of The Stone Soup have come up with a way to ‘cup’ this issue. Their aim was to make students aware about cloth and cups, an alternative option that reduces pollution and provides women with ‘cash free, rash free, and trash free’ periods. These alternatives last for around a decade and help in less creation of menstrual waste. Most women in the country are unaware and ignorant about these economical, healthy and waste free options and therefore the women of Stone Soup are going around the city educating everyone about this magical substitute of disposable pads and tampons.
We were told about the experiences of female athletes, dancers, swimmers and trekkers who have switched to silicon menstrual cups, who claim that changing their menstruating ways was the best decision they had taken for their professions, their hobbies, their health and the environment we all reside in. We learnt that women who use cups do not need to restrict their activities during periods as they can go swimming, running or undertake trips without having to think about changing and disposing.
Menstrual cups are silicone-based insertable devices that collect menstrual fluid. Sustainable cloth pads are made up of layers of absorbent cloth that come in various fits and types. Both these products were distributed among the audience to familiarize them with these options. We were made conversant with cloth pads and cups and were encouraged to switch our ways and motivate other women as well, to change our outworn, old fashioned, unhealthy and pollution causing menstruating ways. It was a fun, eye opening session with the ladies of Stone Soup. It was followed by a question answer session wherein they answered all the menstrual hygiene and reusable product related doubts for the students in the audience which marked the end of that Saturday’s C hive session.

There are many idiosyncratic typing styles in between novice-style “hunt and peck” and touch typing. For example, many “hunt and peck” typists have the keyboard layout memorized and are able to type while focusing their gaze on the screen. Some use just two fingers, while others use 3–6 fingers. Some use their fingers very consistently, with the same finger being used to type the same character every time, while others vary the way they use their fingers.
One study examining 30 subjects, of varying different styles and expertise, has found minimal difference in typing speed between touch typists and self-taught hybrid
typists.[3] According to the study, “The number of fingers does not determine typing
speed… People using self-taught typing strategies were found to be as fast as trained typists…instead of the number of fingers, there are other factors that predict typing speed… fast typists…keep their hands fixed on one position, instead of moving them over the keyboard, and more consistently use the same finger to type a certain letter.” To quote doctoral candidate Anna Feit:
“We were surprised to observe that people who took a typing course, performed at similar average speed and accuracy, as those that taught typing to themselves and only used 6 fingers on average”

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
