An article I wrote on this often under-appreciated medium, short films, finally coming into their own in our country
http://www.pfadz.com/boundless-creativity-short-films-coming-into-their-own-in-india/
Among the films I've mentioned - and attached the links for viewing - are Makhmal (starring Jackie Shroff), Debi (by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury) and Ahalya (made by Sujoy Ghosh, starring Radhika Apte, among others). I've also mentioned one secret film - based on a story by Stephen King - and possibly a way you can get to view that...
PFADZ, btw, is our website, a hub for creativity, where we even pay persons who post depending on our earning / article viewership

ReplyDeleteDearest Innovator, creating this would have been exhausting but exhilarating... An online vault of experiential treasurers, indulging passions of all persuasions.. I think there is an educational aspect, you can learn things from each other.. There are always reasons not to do things, to pass up opportunities. For most of us, more reasons than ever. Too many demands, too much clamour and scheduling... I just think it's such a nice idea, it's a really positive thing..
ReplyDeleteAnother short film seen here : The Wedding Saree, initial part looked just like the story of a middle class woman's life..not all can take such an extreme step..

ReplyDeleteA study : Men who favour a pint as their regular tipple, perform better in bed.. Drinking darker beers act as an aphrodisiac, boosting the libido.. :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing facts about kissing : Did you know, our lips are the body's most exposed erogenous zone.. Kisses work their magic by setting off a whirlwind of neurotransmitters and harmones through our bodies that influence how we think and feel.. Kissing has lots of perks.. A kiss can trigger Real chemistry between two people.. A kiss can spike feelings of craving and desire.. A kiss can make cheeks flush, blood vessels dilate, breathing can deepen, our pulse quikens, adrenaline boosts our heart rate.. It fosters a sense of closeness and attachment.. Kissing enhances the sensations when we are in love.. Serves as a means to communicate beyond what words can convey..
ReplyDeleteAnother Study : Sex in the luxurious and sensual atmosphere of a hotel room is better than the bedroom because of the chemical responses that occur in our brains, psychotherapist and sex counselor told Huffington Post.. The novelty of the hotel room stimulates the dopamine transmission in the brain which plays a big role in arousal and sexual excitement...

ReplyDeleteThere's something about the eye that most people don't realize.... the eye doesn't see ! The brain sees. The eye just transmits. So what we see isn't only determined by what comes through the eyes. What we see is affected by our memories, our feelings and by what we've seen before...

ReplyDeleteI know nothing about sex, because I was always married. - Zsa Zsa Gabor .... Second this thought...
ReplyDeleteThis is sensational bite-size information : Why the occasional lack of sex drive is normal : This should come as a relief to men under stress to always deliver in the bedroom/fancyroom ... When it comes to sex drive, every individual is wired differently, says new research... You might get in the mood after seeing something that's sexual in nature (like a sexy billboard), or you might only get in the mood after something arouses you directly (like your partner's gestures). Both ways are healthy and normal... Part of the problem is the popular concept of 'sex drive,' itself... The term 'drive' implies that not having sex leaves you in an uncomfortable state rooted in survival instincts (like breathing of eating), which isn't accurate... Sex 'drive' is actually an incentive motivation system, which makes it less like a hunger and more like a curiosity... So just be coz you aren't constantly feeling sexual desires doesn't mean something is wrong with you :) It simply means that you're a little different and that's perfectly normal...
ReplyDeleteNo wonder...
