Fragments of Harm: The impact of human greed

 Environmental issues are far from unknown to us; we have been studying, learning about, and hearing about them for as long as we can remember. We are not unaware of the billion trees cut down and the death of million animals due to plastic litter and loss of habitat.  Despite these alarming statistics, why haven't we seen significant changes? Over time, these numbers start to feel like just that—numbers. We lose sight of the real-life impact they represent.


It's probably because it's not us  accumulating tons of plastic in our tummy, inching closer to a painful death each day. Instead, it's happening to hundreds of thousands of animals from various species. We have no idea about  the agony of being trapped in plastic, unable to move, suffocating to death—but that's the reality for countless fish who perish because of the plastic we discard. While you enjoy the comfort of a secure home, many animals lose their habitats due to relentless exploitation.


So here's a gentle but vital reminder that each statistic represents a life cut short due to our greed and refusal to adopt better practices. The numbers continue to rise because we prioritize our comfort above all else. Even a small effort on our part can make a difference. If Just 5% of your effort could help save the lives of the voiceless wouldn't you do it? It's high time everyone becomes the change that the world needs, not just because you want to but also because it's your responsibility to do so.

If you’ve endured abuse, how can you possibly enjoy watching it glorified on the big screen? So, what does this mean for Animal? Is it politically correct, or does it cross a line? Let’s break it down from two perspectives: The Creative Lens Movies are, above all, a medium for creativity. They represent ideas, stories, and emotions projected onto a big screen. If filmmakers were confined to producing only socially “acceptable” narratives, wouldn’t that stifle creativity? Animal is, after all, a story about a man who embodies the traits of an “animal” in human form, a villain’s perspective skillfully brought to life. And the film's box office success speaks for itself, doesn't it? But there’s another side to the story. ...

THE ROAD TO EQUALITY

  “ A women is a full circle, within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.” The same women is also an individual with her own set of beliefs, choices and passion. But the only choice that earns respect and appreciation from the society are also the choices that ensure she remains inferior because that is the only way that she can earn the validation from standards set by the patriarchal society. All the irrational beliefs that exist and the roots of patriarchal conviction run back in time past thousands of years and is truly disappointing that the bits of these roots still thrive between us and the present generation.   You ask me where? It’s probably in every little things- when a women is asked to marry at 25, when she is asked to not wear that dress, when she is told to not sit that way, when she is told not to speak back, when cooking and house chores are seen as what she is supposed to do whether she earns or not, when you are treated as someone to serve, loo...
