The Ever Glowing Magic Lamp!..I must say...brilliantly witty..satirical..intelligentl y highlighting upon some v.v.v.imp issues of our society...through life ofcourse.....Kudos To Mr.Anik Dutta..BB had a certain color of it's own and AP has it's own too..which is making the Lamp all the more bright...and the color is mostly due to the amalgamtion of so many different characters with their own unique t raits..the characters are the representatives of some common urban Bengali prototypes..hilarious moments..specially,the dialogues..the fantasy tale is a layer upon the reality..and Mr.Dutta has wonderfully presented that...Perhaps he was the ventriloquist through the Genie..The First half was brilliantly engaging with a v.good pace...and then the beginning of a journey..which Mr.Anilava,actually the representative of middle class Bengali people was aspiring for..What I mostly liked about this movie was the characterisation part...when a man wishes to rise to the highe...

Violence against Women

The United Nations General Assembly defines 'violence against women' as 'any act of gender based violence that results in physical,sexual or mental harm or suffering to women whether occuring in public or in private life.'Now,this is a social evil which is being perpetuated since olden times.Women across the world are subjected to different forms of violence including domestic violence.But a question upon which one might ponder is that,what is the main cause behind this violence?Sadly,prevalence of illiteracy and superstitions in our society make some to disrespect women,disregard them,look down upon them as 'commodity'.In recent times,the terrible brutal incident of Delhi gang rape more prominently highlights this issue.The entire nation broke out in protest in various forms condemning such an inhuman act and also seeking justice.We are still waiting for the brutes,the animals to be punished.But this also clearly reveals where we stand in this 21st century.Tod...
