Sarla got her 'A' license after flying for more than 1000 hours of flying. She went for the training of a commercial pilot but World War II broke out and she couldn't continue. Unstoppable Sarla, went on to learn painting. She worked as a costume designer, jewellery designer and  saree designer.  

"My father-in-law was even more enthusiastic and got me enrolled in the flying club. I knew I was breaching a strictly male bastion but I must say the men, they never made me feel out of place."

We asked AI to give us some beautiful graphics on We asked AI to give us some beautiful graphics on "The Old Man of The MOON", and here we received some moments of love. 

'Old Man Under the Moon' is a God of Marriage and Love in Chinese mythology.

Shen Fu's story 'The Old Man of the Moon' tells that tumultuous times cannot be predicted, and this story unfolds the realities of lamenting moments that are inevitable after you experience glorious happiness. A love story that goes far beyond the moon and comes back to make you believe in the concept of 'love'. 'The Old Man of the Moon' is a memoir of the time spent by Shen with his wife before she passed away. Set in China in the early 19th century, this story also mentions the Chinese tradition relevant at that time. 

Shen Fu says, - 

"I would advise all the husbands and wives in the world not to hate one another, certainly, but also not to love too deeply. As it is said, 'An affectionate couple cannot grow old together."

"Avail yourself of the opportunity of leaving some "Avail yourself of the opportunity of leaving something for your next generation. Let the freedom of the country be your gift to the future generations to come" - Chandraprabha Saikiani 

Chandraprova Saikani was a prominent freedom fighter from Assam who played a crucial role in the Indian independence movement against British rule. Born in the early 1900s, Saikani was a passionate advocate for Indian independence from a young age.  

With her electrifying speeches, she was successful in rousing the patriotic and nationalistic spirit in the minds of the people

In 1926, she was responsible for forming the Assam Pradeshik Mahila Samiti. The Samiti raised issues like prevention of child marriage and women’s education

She demanded for the entry of women at religious places and rituals, and was the editor of Abhijaytri (literary device of the All Assam Pradeshik Mahila Samiti)

We asked AI - Imagine Feluda from Kolkata meets Sh We asked AI - Imagine Feluda from Kolkata meets Sherlock Holmes in London to investigate a murder, then how would it look? 

Feluda and Sherlock meet and investigate a murder!

There are many characteristics that are similar and different in both these characters, however, let's just say, the final motive is to find the criminal and deconstruct the crime. 

Sherlock keeps it to himself and reveals everything at the end, while Feluda discusses it with Tompshe many times and thinks over how things would have happened. Sherlock hardly shows any emotions but Feluda is shocked, frustrated, and elated - displays every emotion with calmness. So, how do you think they would work together if situation demands so?

Baba Ghanoush is a popular Middle Eastern dish mad Baba Ghanoush is a popular Middle Eastern dish made from roasted eggplant, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and various spices. Its origins can be traced back to the Mediterranean region and the Levant, where eggplant has been a staple ingredient in local cuisine for centuries. The dish is typically served as an appetizer or a dip, and it is often accompanied by pita bread or fresh vegetables.

The name "Baba Ghanoush" literally means "pampered father" in Arabic, and it is said to have originated from a story about a wealthy and indulgent man who loved to eat this dish. However, the exact origins of Baba Ghanoush are unclear and there are several variations of the story.

Regardless of its origins, Baba Ghanoush has become a staple dish in many countries in the Middle East and North Africa, including Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt. Over the years, it has also gained popularity in other parts of the world, particularly in Europe and North America, where it is now widely available in many restaurants and grocery stores.

We have something similar in India, 'Baigan ka Bharta' ..Can you guess how these two eggplant dishes are different?

Remembering the Masterpiece Mammo on Shyam Benegal Remembering the Masterpiece Mammo on Shyam Benegal's Birthday. 

Mammo by Shyam Benegal is a story of finding one's identity after being uprooted from what one has known for almost all her life. The film is also an allegory of art and literature. In an age of flamboyant tributes, Mammo refers to  Beethoven, Hitchcock, Faiz, Gibran, Manto, Shakespeare, and Ghalib in the most subtle way possible. It is beautifully crafted with myriad emotions - almost like life. Nothing stays!

Did you know? History of Cabaret Towards the e Did you know? 

History of Cabaret 

Towards the end of the 19th century,  the song, or chanson  , was the main form of entertainment in French cafés, and songs were not only for entertainment but were used as a medium for communication to react to what was happening in the country. At a time when media was controlled by  powerful authorities, it was an outlet for the working class to ridicule the social mores. 

Soon the solo songs transformed into café concerts.

Remembering the Masterpiece Mammo on Shyam Benegal Remembering the Masterpiece Mammo on Shyam Benegal's Birthday. 

Mammo by Shyam Benegal is a story of finding one's identity after being uprooted from what one has known for almost all her life. The film is also an allegory of art and literature. In an age of flamboyant tributes, Mammo refers to  Beethoven, Hitchcock, Faiz, Gibran, Manto, Shakespeare, and Ghalib in the most subtle way possible. It is beautifully crafted with myriad emotions - almost like life. Nothing stays!

History of Cabaret 

Towards the end of the 19th century,  the song, or chanson  , was the main form of entertainment in French cafés, and songs were not only for entertainment but were used as a medium for communication to react to what was happening in the country. At a time when media was controlled by  powerful authorities, it was an outlet for the working class to ridicule the social mores. 

Soon the solo songs transformed into café concerts.
