"Usually we spotted our people as soon as they appeared from behind the bush mid field. If he turned from the bush towards our house, it's father. If not, it meant it was not father and that he would never come." Film: Mirror (1975) Filmmaker: Andrei Tarkovsky

@jasonachristian @ResistRun The full quote 👇

@mimpful @ResistRun Thank you.

"I don’t agree with Godard when he says that the cinema is a gun. You can’t topple a govt by making one Potemkin. You can’t do that with ten Potemkins. All you can do is create an environment in which you can discuss a society that is growing undemocratic, fascistic." Mrinal Sen

@jasonachristian @ResistRun As far as I can trace, the quote circulates widely through a publication carried by the Indian Cultural Forum archive, but I've never come across a verifiable source or citation. Will share if I do. Thanks

@mimpful @ResistRun I was asking where the quote was excerpted from specifically. This is the kind of work I do, and I'm also an admirer of Sen's films.

@scarsdalevibe2 That's actually a very fair correction. "A girl and a gun" was probably a playful reference to hollywood visual dynamism, not revolutionary politics per se. And yes, politically too, Godard was actually very skeptical about cinema's ability to create revolution on its own.

Except Godard never said that. He said for cinema all you need was a girl and a gun. That was not about politics about about genre conventions in film, a witty allusion to the popular American films that influenced Godard and his New Wave colleagues. In terms of his political filmmaking, Godard was the exact opposite of what Sen attributes to him here. Godard was very clear that political filmmaking was not sufficient for revolution.

@jasonachristian @ResistRun Sen was responding to the broader revolutionary optimism around political cinema after 1968, especially among marxist intellectuals and filmmakers who saw art as an immediate weapon of revolution. This is an excerpt.

@mimpful @ResistRun Where is this quote from?

@deep_ami 🙏♥️

❤️🙏

@cop663hk Truly so. Art is capable of stirring collective consciousness and cinema is known to educate, question, inspire people across generations.

@mimpful Educating the masses is integral to revolution. Cinema is capable of guiding and radicalising generations.

@mimpful শুভ নন্দন

Have a beautiful Wednesday !

@AbdulQa03595768 No idea on that. The encouraging part is that PCOS related infertility is often treatable. Even modest lifestyle changes and appropriate medical treatment can significantly improve ovulation.

@mimpful What's the percentage of success in those seeking pregnancy ? Any idea...

PCOS is now PMOS: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. The revised name reflects a broader understanding of the condition, recognising its hormonal, metabolic, reproductive and mental health dimensions rather than limiting it to cysts alone.

@AbdulQa03595768 Since PCOS is increasingly being understood as a broader metabolic & endocrine condition, doctors now also evaluate blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, thyroid, vitamin D etc. Progesterone, birth control pills, metformin, spironolactone and most importantly the natural remedies...

@mimpful What's the latest Rx for PCOS (being practised now...)

@AbdulQa03595768 Certainly. Type 3 being alzheimer's

@mimpful Is type 4 diabetes synonymous??

@VatsMusings Except the TV was an old one 😀

I have done this crime , exactly like this , exactly for this song 🤐🤦

There is a stillness in the core of everything, a secret place where nothing can disturb you. ~ Meister Eckhart

@VatsMusings Rear view bhi dikhta hai, a few hundred meters tak 😭

When you take a road Journey,you do not see the whole Path till destination. You just see few hundred meters in front of you and you trust that you will find a way as you go along . That's the same thing with Life as well.Sometimes you just need to trust yourself and keep going.

@unabashedinter1 @Gringots_Goblin True that 🤣
