Vivaan Shah, Veer Rajwant Singh , Sangeeta Dutta discuss Books to OTT, Cinema and Social Media on the Final Day of the 15th AKLF
Kolkata, February 13, 2024: In the final session of Day 3 at the 15th Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival, actors Vivaan Shah and Veer Rajwant Singh and writer Sangeeta Dutta discussed the art of adaptation, with a specific focus on how books can be translated across movies, social media, and the OTT. Speaking to moderator Ushoshi Sengupta, all three experts in their respective fields discussed how books have found a place across ages through different forms of dissemination. The session was titled, ‘When Words Take Wing.’
The speakers acknowledged how we live in an era where content is king and how the present day is the best time to create new stories, whether through adaptation or original storytelling. Speaking on their experience of working in or with adaptations, Vivaan Shah said, “The most interesting aspect of working in adaptations is getting to translate my imagination and acting it out in real life.” On the other hand, Sangeeta Dutta said, “There are no hard and fast rules about adaptations. No matter how far apart they are in time, there’s always some space left for the scriptwriter’s vision.”
Continuing with the discussion on contemporizing older works through adaptations, Veer Rajwant Singh brought forth the example of Vishal Bharadwaj. He said, ‘’There can never be a better adaptation than that of Maqbool or Omkara as done by Vishal Bharadwaj Sir.” All panellists and moderators present agreed upon this comment. The central argument was how each adaptation brings a new flavour, a new sense of refreshment to an original story. Sangeeta Datta added, “In my opinion, The two best adaptations have been The Color Purple and The Talented Mr. Ripley.”
Agreeing to the concept of each adaptation bringing something new, Veer Rajwant Singh agreed that even while adapting for social media or OTT content, the director and the scriptwriter have the right to bring forth their visualizations. Speaking on social media and its impact on content creation, everyone agreed that while we seldom have control over what we consume, it is simultaneously a great place to put out new versions of better stories. Sangeeta Dutta said, “I would love to write a novel based on The Three of Us, an exceptional story on OTT.” When asked whether it was challenging to churn out content for social media, Veer Rajwant Singh added, “It’s a choice you have to make.” On adaptations, he further said, “Whatever is written is universal. Whatever is read is personal.” Meaning there’s always more space left for personal interpretations to continue.

Empowering Women: Menstrual Hygiene Awareness
By S.R.Karthika,Tutor, Saveetha College of Physiotherapy
Introduction:
Menstrual hygiene is a crucial aspect of women’s health, yet it remains a topic often shrouded in silence and stigma, particularly in India. Lack of awareness and misconceptions surrounding menstruation can have profound effects on young women’s physical and emotional well-being. This write-up aims to shedlight on the importance of menstrual hygiene awareness among young women in India.
Challenges Faced by Young Women:
Lack of Education:
Many young women in India grow up without proper education on menstruation. This lack of awareness can lead to confusion, fear, and unhygienic practices during their menstrual cycles.
Social Stigma:
Societal taboos and cultural norms contribute to the silence surrounding menstruation. Girls may feel ashamed or embarrassed to discuss their menstrual health openly, leading to a perpetuation of misinformation.
Limited Access to Resources:
In rural areas, access to sanitary products and proper sanitation facilities may be limited. This poses a significant challenge to maintaining good menstrual hygiene practices.
Importance of Menstrual Hygiene Awareness:
Health and Well-being:
Proper menstrual hygiene is essential for preventing infections and maintaining overall reproductive health. Awareness campaigns can educate young women about the importance of using clean and safe menstrual products and adopting hygienic practices.
Empowerment:
Menstrual hygiene awareness empowers young women by dismantling taboos and fostering a sense of confidence and self-esteem. When girls are informed, they can make informed choices about their health without fear or shame.
Education and Productivity:
Lack of access to menstrual hygiene products and facilities can lead to absenteeism among schoolgirls. By promoting awareness and ensuring access to necessary resources, we can contribute to increased school attendance and better academic performance.
Strategies for Menstrual Hygiene Awareness:
Education Programs:
Implement comprehensive menstrual hygiene education programs in schools and communities to ensure that young girls have accurate information about menstruation and its management.
Community Engagement:
Involve community leaders, parents, and local influencers in promoting open discussions about menstrual health. Breaking the silence at the community level helps in creating a supportive environment.
Distribution of Menstrual Products:
Ensure access to affordable and sustainable menstrual products, especially in underserved areas. This can be achieved through government initiatives, NGOs, and public-private partnerships.
Digital Awareness Campaigns:
Utilize digital platforms to disseminate information about menstrual hygiene, reaching a wide audience and breaking down geographical barriers.
Conclusion:
Menstrual hygiene awareness is a crucial step towards promoting the health, dignity, and empowerment of young women in India. By addressing the challenges and implementing effective strategies, we can contribute to a society where menstruation is not a source of shame but an integral part of a woman’s life, celebrated with dignity and respect.

Puppy Love: Creating Safe Floors for Valentine's Day Play Date with Your Pets
Valentine’s Day, a time dedicated to celebrating love, holds a special place for our faithful pets who eagerly await our daily return, joyfully welcoming us at the doorstep. If you’re planning an exclusive play date with your furry companions this Valentine’s Day, it becomes paramount to ensure not just clean but also safe floors for them. Our pets, deserving of boundless love and care, should have an enjoyable experience, especially considering how they often turn our floors into their playground. Therefore, maintaining a hygienic and safe floor is of utmost importance.
Mumbai-based Pet Parent & Lifestyle influencer, Dr. Disha Nighot said, “In every twist and turn of life, my Bunny and Binny remain a steadfast source of joy and comfort, brightening even the darkest days. The pure and unconditional love shared between a pet and its owner is unparalleled. I hold this sacred connection close, going the extra mile to safeguard the well-being of my cherished pet. Our shared moments on the floor, filled with play and laughter, underline the importance of ensuring a safe floor for my pet’s delicate paws. “
She adds, “Taking on this responsibility, I turn to ITC Nimyle, a neem-based floor cleaner from the trusted house of ITC. I rely on this product to ensure that my floors are not only impeccably clean but also safe for my beloved companion. What sets Nimyle apart is that it is devoid of these harmful chemicals- chlorine, bleach, parabens, sulfates, phosphates, and quats, and does not leave behind any
chemical residue making it a pet-safe floor cleaner. With the assurance that my floors are safe, I can now wholeheartedly focus on what truly matters – spending quality time with my pet, relishing the moments of joy, and basking in the companionship of a healthy and happy furry friend.”
