MEET 23-YEAR-OLD ASMITA DEY 🇮🇳🥹

Born in a small village in Tripura, Asmita is the daughter of a bicycle mechanic who struggled every day to provide for his family.

They were so poor that they depended on ration cards just to put food on the table.

When 12-year-old Asmita left home after being selected in a talent search, her father folded his hands before her coach and made just one request:

“Sir, we’re very small people. Please help my daughter become someone.”

That one sentence became her life’s purpose.

She spent years away from home, travelling for days to compete, often without confirmed train tickets, chasing a dream that seemed impossible.

Then, heartbreak struck ❤️‍🩹

Just days before qualifying for the Commonwealth Games, her father passed away after suffering a brain stroke.

She flew home, performed his last rites, and quietly returned to training.

Today, with tears in her eyes, Asmita Dey fulfilled her late father’s dream by becoming India’s first-ever Commonwealth Games Judo Gold Medallist. 🥇🇮🇳

He couldn’t be there to watch her stand on top of the podium.

But every step she took was for him.

Some victories are far bigger than medals.

This is one of them. 🫡🥹

MEET 40 YO SHARMILA DHANKAR 🇮🇳

Shr was born into poverty. Her mother was blind, her father was a farmer, and she contracted polio at the age of two.

At just 19, Sharmila was trapped in an abusive marriage. One night, she was beaten from 11 PM to 3 AM and thrown out of her home with her two daughters.

She never went back!

At 34, she took up para athletics. Her family even sold their house to support her dream.

Today, Sharmila Dhankar is India's first-ever Commonwealth Games Para Athletics Gold Medallist, ending a 20-year wait for an Indian para athletics medal at the CWG🥇

Some victories are far bigger than medals

This is one of them 🫡🥺

A SATYA CONFESSION TO MYSELF
—— Ram Gopal Varma

By the time SATYA was rolling to an end , while watching it 2 days back for 1st time after 27 yrs, I started choking with tears rolling down my cheeks and I dint care if anyone would see
The tears were not just for the film, but were more for what happened since

Making a film is like giving birth to a child originating from throes of passion without truly realising what kind of a child I am giving birth to
That’s because a film is made in in bits and pieces without one really knowing what’s being made and when it is ready the concentration is on what others are saying about it and after that ,whether it’s a hit or not, I move on too obsessed with what’s next to reflect and understand the beauty of what i myself created

Till 2 days back I ignored the countless inspirations it sparked by dismissing it as just another step in my journey towards an objective less destination

Coming back to the hotel after the screening of SATYA, and sitting in the dark i I din’t understand why with all my so called intelligence, I did not set this film as a benchmark for whatever I should do in the future
I also realised I didn’t just cry for the tragedy in that film but I also cried in joy for that version of myself .. And I cried in guilt for my betrayals of all those who trusted me due to SATYA

I became drunk not on alcohol but on my own success and my arrogance though I didn’t know this till 2 days back
When the bright lights of a RANGEELA or a SATYA blinded me, i lost my vision and that explains my meandering into making films for shock value or for gimmick effect or to make a vulgar display of my technical wizardry or various other things equally meaningless and in that careless process, forgetting such a simple truth that technique utmost can elevate a given content but it can’t carry it .

Some of my later films might have been successful but I do not believe that any of them had the same honesty and integrity which is in SATYA

My very unique vision that drove me to create something path breaking in cinema also blinded me to the value of what i myself made and I became a man hurriedly running so fast looking up towards the horizon. that I forgot to look down at the garden I’d planted beneath my feet , and that explains my various falls from grace

I obviously can’t make any amends now for what I already did , but i promised myself 2 nights back while wiping away my tears , that every film I make from now onwards will be made with a reverence towards why I wanted to become a director in the 1st place

I might not be able to make a film like SATYA ever again , but not even having an intention to do so is an unpardonable crime against Cinema

I don’t mean that I should keep making films like SATYA but irrespective of the genre or the subject matter the least it should have is the sincerity of SATYA

When Francis Coppola was asked by an interviewer about a film he made after GODFATHER, whether it will be as good , I could see him squirming because i could see that it din’t occur to him

No one asked me about any film I was about to make post SATYA whether it will be as good, but what’s worse is that I din’t ask myself

I so wish I could go back in time and made this one cardinal rule for myself , that before deciding on any film to make , I should watch SATYA once again… If I followed that rule I am sure I would not have made 90% of the films I made since then

I truly mean this as a wake up call to every film maker , who just gets carried away in self indulgence due to his own state of mind at any given moment without measuring it against the standards set by either themselves or others

Finally now i took a vow that whatever little of my life is left , I want to spend it sincerely and create something as worthy as SATYA and this truth I swear on SATYA

Its the birth anniversary of Pushpa Lata Das, a freedom fighter from Assam who was one of the first individual satyagrahis, who was first expelled from school for protesting Bhagat Singh's execution & then was jailed as one of the first individual satyagrahis.
Late in her life she was offered a state award for her role in the struggle for independence which she summarily refused, saying she didn't participate to get any returns.
The story of India's women freedom fighters simply has to be better told, there are just so many unbelievably inspiring tales!

[Joy Bhattacharjya @joybhattacharj]

On this day, 93 years ago, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev were hanged in Lahore Jail
Not one magistrate was willing to supervise their hanging, so they had to find an honourary judge, Nawab Muhammad Ahmed Khan Kasuri, who also signed the three death warrants.
