The students of FTII AND SRFTI have been on a hunger strike since 11th and 12th Dec respectively. Protesting the entrance exam fee hike. The joint entrance exam - JET - now costs 10,000 (for General students) which is the costliest entrance exam for a public funded institute.

As an artist, arrogance and grace are equally important. Arrogance to be able to stay original & grace to be able to accept criticism & grow

Connectd to so many things in #NH10 . Women are the keys holding patriarchy together. Interesting take - a woman can end what another started

Even for CAT this fee is 1900, for JEE it is 650. And for Whistling Woods (a private insti) it’s 3000. This puts film education squarely out of reach of a huge section of students.

The whole idea of state run film schools is to enable students from every section of the society to have access. Also the additional fee hike of 10% every year will take it even further away for some students.

Solitude is the antidote to many problems. It ruffles you at first - you want to jump off the cliff to escape it. If you don't jump, it embraces you and then slowly, quietly, you are in love forever.

The best part is, for most men, misogyny and abuse are what other men do. They shake their heads, smirk at him and that's where it ends. Very few look into the mirror. Almost nobody apologises for their behaviour on their own even after pointing it out in other men.
