May you be saved from the cardinal sin of giving too much of yourself to people who give too little of themselves in return

Times change, but the fundamental injustices remain the same. Governments continue to frame policies that serve corporate greed at the cost of people’s rights, while the social elite, comfortably tucked away in their privileged bubbles, dissect these issues from their own limited perspectives. The hypocrisy, the superficial ideas passed off as intellectualism, and the indifference to ground realities are all too familiar.
Films that confront these uncomfortable truths, question the complacency of the privileged, and make us reflect on the society we live in are rarely made today.
Perhaps the real tragedy is not just the disappearance of such cinema, but the growing bankruptcy of social commitment in our times.

বাংলার টেপা পুতুল হলো বাংলার গ্রামীণ লোকশিল্প ও সংস্কৃতির এক প্রাচীন ও অবিচ্ছেদ্য নিদর্শন। কোনো নির্দিষ্ট ছাঁচ বা ফর্মা ব্যবহার না করে, সম্পূর্ণ হাতের আঙুলের মুনশিয়ানায় নরম এঁটেল মাটি টিপে টিপে এই পুতুল তৈরি করা হয় বলেই লোকমুখে এর নাম হয়েছে ‘টেপা পুতুল’+

It’s sort of remarkable that Jane Austen has become probably the central figure in English literature after Shakespeare, and arguably the most beloved. All the more so because she never traveled far from home; her life was largely lacking in drama. Early critics accused her of leading an insular existence, ignoring the great issues of the day and limiting the scope of her stories to the home. And yet, as Eudora Welty has noted, “The interesting situations of life can take place, and notably do, at home.” Such was Austen’s genius that within her limited sphere she saw the whole of human nature. All of life is contained within her six novels. She remains our greatest psychologist and one of our wisest philosophers. To read her books is a first step towards acquiring wisdom.
"Monsoon Girl" (1961), featuring Aparna Sen, which graced the pages of Life magazine, was photographed by renowned New Zealand photojournalist Brian Brake during his visit to the sets of Satyajit Ray’s 𝘚𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘪, the film that marked Aparna Sen’s debut.
Happy Birthday, Aparna Sen.
@kachatterjee I pointed out that he'd copied the video along with the caption verbatim without giving credit, and that slapping on a fair use disclaimer doesn't make it ok. At the very least, credit the original creator. The guy blocked me 🤣

This has to be one of the more beautiful editions of Pride & Prejudice that I've encountered.
