To find the lost other song the film must understand the past and present of the tawaif and unravel the significant transitions that took place in late 19th and early 20th century around the control, censorship and moral policing of female sexualities and cultural expression.</p> <p>Duration: 120 minutes<br>Language: Hindi / Urdu / English / English subtitles<br>Directed by: Saba Dewan<br>Camera: Rahul Roy<br>Editing: Reena Mohan / Khushboo Agarwal / Mahadeb Shi / Anupama Chandra<br>Sound: Asheesh Pandya / Gissy Michael / Vipin Bhati<br> For more information: <a href="mailto:theothersong@gmail.com" target="_blank">theothersong@gmail.com</a> </p><b><i><span lang="EN-GB">Awards:</span></i></b><br><ul><li><b><span><i><span lang="EN-GB">B</span></i></span><i><span lang="EN-GB">est documentary at the Pusan International Film Festival, 2009.</span></i></b></li></ul><p> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.2in"><b><i><span> </span><span> </span><br></i></b></p><b><i>Festivals: </i></b><br><ul><li><b><i>Pusan International Film Festival, 2009</i></b></li><li><b><i>Doclisboa, Lisbon, 2009</i></b></li> <li><b><i>Dubai International Film Festival, 2009</i></b></li><li><b><i><span> </span>Bird's Eye View Women's film festival, London, 2010 </i></b></li><li><b><i>Doc.fest Munich Film festival, 2010</i></b></li></ul> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:black" lang="EN-GB"> </span></i></b></p> <br> <br style="font-family:arial black,sans-serif"></div>-- <br>Saba Dewan<br>A-19, Gulmohar Park<br>New Delhi -110049<br>Tel: 00-91-11-26515161<br>Fax: 00-91-11-41640681<br>Email: <a href="mailto:sabadewan@gmail.com" target="_blank">sabadewan@gmail.com</a> <br> <a href="mailto:theothersong@gmail.com" target="_blank">theothersong@gmail.com</a><br> <br> </div><br></div></div></div></div></div> Harishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12609011423304441643noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819732158554829997.post-90448556530411818162010-05-22T13:22:00.001+05:302010-05-22T13:22:23.640+05:30National Geographic Young Explorers Grants ((tag: Funds Offered))<div class="gmail_quote"><br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Chandni Parekh</b> <br><br><br><div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"> <div><span>Excerpts from <a href="http://bit.ly/caSfUI" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/caSfUI</a> -</span><br><br>Young Explorers Grants (YEG) offer opportunities to individuals ages 18 to <br> 25 to pursue research, conservation, and exploration-related projects <br> consistent with National Geographic's existing grant programs, including: <br> the Committee for Research and Exploration (CRE), the Expeditions Council <br> (EC), and the Conservation Trust (CT). <br><br>Applicants are not required to have advanced degrees.

Get him/her counselled. Just like there are counseling psychologists for humans, now there are counsellors for dogs. The trend is just picking up in India including Bangalore and may go a long way in dealing with suffering pets or even dogs in shelters.These specialists are not dog trainers but counsellors who do not use force or instil fear to correct behavioral disorders. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> Dogs are not humans. Obvious as it may sound, many people including ardent pet lovers misunderstand dog behaviour. The 'canine counsellors' focus on the in</span><span style="padding:0px;margin:0px;text-align:justify">nate behavior of dogs and their instincts to find out what went wrong. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> According to canine counsellor Natasha Chandy who has completed her course in canine behaviour recently, dogs can feel high levels of fear, can have severe phobias, separation anxiety, food-related problems such as being fussy eaters, eating their own feces, stealing. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> Dogs can show behaviours that are a result of low to high levels of stress, dogs can suffer from obsessive compulsive behaviours; they may bark and chew up things due to boredom or to seek attention. Instead of losing hope on the </span><span style="padding:0px;margin:0px;text-align:justify"><br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> pet, abandoning it or even contemplating putting it down, counselling is worth a try. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> The counsellors treat the dog by tracking its innate behaviours. For instance, like wolves, their innate instinct is to hunt or to chase. If that is curbed then they develop behavioural problems. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> For instance, if your pet dog is on the terrace and wants to bark at other dogs passing by and if you stop him, he might develop stereotypical behaviours such as chasing his tail non-stop or licking his skin to the point where a medical condition known as the 'Lick Granuloma' gets formed. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> The counsellors, unlike oldfashioned dog trainers who use </span><span style="padding:0px;margin:0px;text-align:justify">force and instil fear in them, use other methods to rectify such problem behaviour.The dog usually has to be taken to the counsellor once for a couple of hours. Then the counsellor creates a customized solution and gives it to the owner that he has to practise at home. "The tools and techniques used to help the owners and their companion canines are based on latest research done on the canine species. All the latest teaching techniques are based on the principle that trust established between the owner and the dog is key to resolving the problem. The owner implements the programme given to him by the counsellor to resolve the issue," adds Natasha. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> According to Shirin Merchant who specializes in canine counselling in Mumbai and is an associate of The Northern Centre for Animal Behaviour, England, the trend has just started picking up. "People are now more accepting of the fact that dogs have behavioural problems. Veterinary doctors, dog trainers and groomers are plenty but counselors are relatively new. Groomers or trainers are not qualified in dealing with behavioural problems. Wrong advice can ruin a dog. There are many selfstyled behaviorists who try to treat by reading books or looking online. It's not a good idea," says Shirin. The concept is popular abroad though.</span></font></div><div style="padding:0px;margin:0px"><br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"><div style="padding:0px;margin:0px"><img src="http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Repository/getimage.dll?path=TOIBG/2010/05/16/8/Img/Pc0080500.jpg" style="padding:0px;margin:0px" border="1"></div> <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"><br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"><div style="padding:0px;margin:0px"><img src="http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Repository/getimage.dll?path=TOIBG/2010/05/16/8/Img/Pc0080600.jpg" style="padding:0px;margin:0px" border="1"></div> <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"></div><div style="padding:0px;margin:0px"></div><div style="padding:0px;margin:0px"><br></div></span></div><div></div> </div><br></div></div><br> </div><br> </div><br><br clear="all"><br><br> </blockquote></div><br></div></div></div> </div><br> Harishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12609011423304441643noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819732158554829997.post-36372671411180363472010-04-13T12:11:00.000+05:302010-04-13T12:12:06.419+05:30physically challenged student needs help.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); ">Via Chandni parekh<br><br><br>Posted by: "GIRI" <a href="mailto:gbluthria@yahoo.com">gbluthria@yahoo.com</a><br> Sun Apr 11, 2010 <br><br><br><br>I am a handicap student studying in Bhavans College.

<br />
Where Were You??? on 26/11... A reminder of the gory night that was, a platform to vent and to speak up for the cause of 26/11. <br />
<br />
<i>Event Plan: </i><br />
<br />
We dont want our activity to in anyway hinder the peace or functioning of the vicinity. We would form a circle of 3-4 people, one of the participants would come in the center and speak about what s/he was doing on 26/29 November 2008. Once s/he finishes, s/he points to a random person in the circle and asks "Where Were You?". Now this person, (who could be amongst us or a bystander who teams up) would come to the center circle and speak about her/is experience on 26-29/11.<br />
<br />

<i>What Do We Wish To Achieve?</i><br />
<br />
Mumbai Suffers from Amnesia. We forget too early and too fast. Well, thats what critics think, we think NOT. <br />
<br />
Lest we forget, the tragedy of 26/11. Not to corrode our wounds with salt, but to remember and to let people know that the famous Mumbai Spirit cannot be taken for granted. <br />
<br />
The results of this campaign would not all be tangible and quantifiable. Whats important is that it starts the internal dialogue... And gets you to think. <br />
<br />
We could be cynical and resigned, and sure about changelessness, or initiate and partake in an event that speak up: truly and openly. <br />
<br />
So, Will you join us??? <br />

It still generates a chill down my spine when I think of that ominous night. It saddens me to learn that many of us have lived up to the amnesic nature of Mumbai. And it is upon us, few awakened souls, to create an intersting movement for people to participate. <br />
<br />
<b>What Is The (Tentative) Plan??</b><br />
Along with a few friends of mine, id be at different terror spots on 26/11. We will do something very simple. Form a circle of 3-4 people, one of the participants would come in the center and speak about what s/he was doing on 26/29 November 2008. Once s/he finishes, s/he points to a random person in the circle and asks "Where Were You?". Now this person, (who could be amongst us or a bystander who teams up) would come to the center circle and speak about her/is experience on 26-29/11. <br />
<br />

I am an animation film maker and a graduate in Animation Film Design from the National Institute of Design (NID) - India's premier design institute. After graduation, I have worked professionally for four years on various projects with studios like Famous House of Animation, Famous Studios, Mumbai, OGS Animation (Kolkata) and Galloping Films (Australia), MTV (Mumbai) and UNICEF. Some of the projects included television commercials like Cadbury's, Tata Sky, Sony Pix, ICICI Prudential, UNICEF and many more and also on television series like Jonny Bravo. While creating animation for children in the areas of education and entertainment, awareness campaigns etc., I feel the need to undergo professional training in Animation Direction to convey my stories more effectively. Currently, I have secured a place among eight students in the world for a two year extensive course to learn the craft of Animation film Direction (MA in Animation Direction) at the National Film and Television School (NFTS), Beaconsfield, UK (</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"><a href="http://www.nftsfilm-tv.ac.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">http://www.nftsfilm-tv.ac.uk/</span></a></span><span style="color: black;">). </span></font></font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">NFTS receives half its funding from the Government of UK – the Department of Culture, Media and Sport; and the other half from the Film and Television industry. Therefore, it is part-private and part-public funded. It is a higher education establishment providing post-graduate education. It has been nominated as a Skillset Screen Academy and has a long standing reputation as UK's leading centre of excellence in Film and Television training. The MA course is validated by the Royal College of Art, London. </font></font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">With my four years of industry experience, including days and nights of hardship, I am looking forward to learning a lot more in order to design great films. The expense of higher study at NFTS is huge (GBP 50,000 / INR 4,250,000). And with respect to the foreign exchange rates, the amount is massive and substantially high. Working hard to becoming a successful screen-storyteller is a dream, and I would like to proceed forward for education in such a prestigious school. I would be thankful to receive any kind of financial help, in the form of scholarships or grants from your institution/individuals that would help me sign up for the course successfully. </font></font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">My course begins in January, and I need to pay my tuition fees by 10<sup>th</sup> of November 2009.

If I am granted a scholarship/grant/sponsorship to aid my higher education in UK, I aim to learn to direct good films to tell good stories to the world around, so as to elevate the value and quality of life. After completion of the course in Animation Direction, I look forward to work on educational programs for children to help them learn. </font></font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">I would like to thank you for your precious time.
