  • Lost in Translation: Looking through the eyes of poets

    Our mind can collate all our experiences into one large entity, which in turn gives us a ‘Big Perception.’ This big picture is our subjective view of the ongoings of daily life. A lot of the time, we are lost looking for the inherent meaning of our lives. At most, we try to follow suit with others.

  • Grave of the Fireflies: An anti-Hollywood war drama

    There have been many attempts to remake this film involving real people in it. Twice, once in 2005 and again in 2008, this project was brought to life. But neither of the two could match the quality of the original work. A consensus, apart from varied formative analyses constituted by the experts, is that some things can never be repeated, and it’s not a wrong belief either.

  • Journeying as a Feminist

    It is in this sphere of bolstering women’s leadership and empowering our agency that I now work in. I am at the intersection of academia and policy. As an academic and a current student of international history, I realize that women’s voices and narratives have been absent and systematically marginalized from intellectual discourse. Fighting patriarchy that pervades academic writing and narratives is a conscious choice and commitment.
