In today's world it is really difficult to change someone's mind, that too on a subject so delicate. But, this video very effortlessly and beautifully puts out both the perspectives and lets the audience decide which point of view  do they agree with.
All in all, it was a beautiful skit and it really makes you think.

Our body language does a lot of talking, people can understand a lot about someone just by their body language. For example if you are slouched, it gives off the feeling that you are lazy and underconfident. Whereas if you are standing firmly, it gives off the feeling that you are strong and confident.
In the video "power posing" was discussed which can help boosting people's confidence, even if you are not confident, it makes the brain think that they are indeed confident.

Miscommunication is the failure to communicate the exact message properly.
Miscommunication usually leads to misunderstandings which later on makes situations rather uncomfortable.
In some situations the complete meaning of the message can be changed due to miscommunication. There is a Hindi saying related to this which I really like, the saying is "arth ka anarth"  which means the miscommunication can change the whole meaning of something.

How to avoid miscommunication.

* Indulge in active listening rather than passive hearing.
* Take your time with understanding stuff (better late than sorry).

This is a very interesting and beautiful short film, 2 strangers meet in a shared cab at 3am in the morning. They both come from a very different background, one is an investment banker (Aarav) and the other is a writer in an advertising firm (Nimisha).
They both have a different view point for the world and they both have different ideas, yet they tend to like each other's company.
Nimisha who is stressed due to work and is rather unhappy is quite lost and ignorant in the beginning but Aarav's kind and calm demeanor slowly shifts her mood and Nimisha opens up a bit more.
The fact that both of them talked for so long but still got to know each other's name at the very end of their meeting just shows how indulged and committed they both were to the conversation.
Being kind and respectful to people can make their day a bit better and the stress less stressful.

The Title for this short film is a nice contradiction to what is really depicted in the short film.  the title "Everything is fine" clearly creates a false sense of placidity but in reality, it's far from what is the truth, the story revolves around the three characters, the apathetic daughter,  the unethical fathers and a self-sacrificing mother. the mother keeps being asked to do compromises with her desires by her husband and suffer in silence, even after openly expressing herself in front of her daughter she is given a blind eye, this is the final nail in the coffin, she flipped and went to go out alone by herself to complete her desires. In this short film, we have also seen how society plays a conversational barrier as in India divorce is considered a very big thing so she can't say that even in front of her own daughter.

* This just goes to show how the patriarchy is right in front of us and we tend to ignore it by coining it as "culture" and we let it go. 'Juice' is a short film with a strong message and a story that is not very fictional it happens almost in every house just the intricacies of the story changes in every household. Here the protagonist (Manju) towards the end gets fed up with the invisible sexism and pulls out a glass of "juice", Turns the cooler towards herself and sits there drinking her juice with the men, while the men sit there silent, shocked and not being able to make eye contact. The reaction by the men shows that the statement Manju wanted to make was clear and loud.

* We also discussed and tried to understand non-verbal communication by looking and observing some shots from this short film such as facial expressions, body movement, gestures etc.

* Frustration and discomfort:  When Manju slams the refrigerator door angrily.

* Anger, frustration and disgust can be seen through Manju's facial expressions.

The life lesson I took away from The Shawshank Redemption was that hope and persistence give you freedom and let you achieve all your dreams no matter how unfair life gets. Keeping hope in the darkest of times will lead us to a brighter tomorrow. No matter how cruel the world gets, kindness always wins with the help of hope and persistence.

Since India is a very diverse country every part of India have different cuisine so after this exercise with my batchmates I came to know that our regional cuisines are different and same both like my friends are from different states such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Jammu so they have dishes like in Bihar, the main food is rice with pulses with few specialties like 'dal ka pitta' and 'tilkut' while in Uttar Pradesh they prefer more of wheat-based nutrition as their plater contains various types of bread with few specialties like ' pedha' and 'barfi', while Jammu, people usually prefer to eat meat and non-perishable food due to the extreme weather and harsh environment with many specialties like 'kawa' and 'Rogan josh' while I hail Hyderabad, my regional dish would contain the use of batter made of different pulses and lentils and rice with specialties such as 'Pulihora' and 'Dosa' and 'Sabhar Wada '

There is a Difference Between Hearing and Listening, hearing is just knowing what the speaking is speaking while attentive hearing i.e. knowing what the speaker meant is called listening.

People often chose to focus on other senses rather than listening because it is not habitual to us as we are taught reading and speaking while no one taught us listening.

There are a few more reasons why Listening is considered harder than other

·  Language Barriers

·  Different Ascent
