Movie review - All we imagine as Light.

 I came across "All We Imagine as Light" as a suggestion from a dear friend, and it turned out to be a lovely watch. Initially, I wanted to see it in theaters but was unable to. Fortunately, I later found it on Hotstar. I didn’t have a login for Hotstar, but that same friend shared their account, making it possible for me to finally watch the film. The effort and little struggle to watch it were totally worth it. The movie's delicate storytelling and strong performances left a lasting impression on me. Intrigued by the lead actress’s portrayal, I went on to watch a few other films she has acted in. Her versatility and depth in various roles further deepened my appreciation of her craft. The director and the entire team of actors deserve immense praise for their nuanced work. They brought out the essence of the story beautifully, creating an emotional and visual experience that resonated deeply. Additionally, I came across a review by actor Manav Kaul on Instagram...

  Plastics give a helpful hand, but they are polluting our land! There is hardly any doubt that the use of plastic products makes life easier. But if we see the ratio between plastic use’s pros and cons, we can see a clearer picture. If we weigh on a balancing machine, the side with the harmful effects is much heavier. The use of plastics leaves behind tons of waste and trash that require cleaning up. They are non-reusable, and if we look around, we will find proof of it. It is proven that plastics are a cause of cancers, congenital disabilities, and so much more. The greatest threat is posed to the marine ecosystem as we do not think twice before dumping all our wastes into the water bodies. These toxic wastes move about in the seas and oceans, and numerous fish, turtles, and other aquatic species confuse these as food items. In this episode of Praguntatwa talks, My Green Podcast with Panchtatwa Girl, do listen to the voice of a youth who belives in beating plastic pollution ...
