Konkana Sen Sharma's 'Nayantara's Necklace' is a poignant tale of the longing that we all nurse in our hearts

We all yearn to live a better life and most often forget to cherish and appreciate what we have. Director Jaydeep Sarkar's short film 'Nayantara's Necklace' brilliantly highlights the longing that we all nurse in our heart to be someone else, someone better than us.

Featuring Konkona Sen Sharma, Tilottama Shome and Gulshan Deviah, 'Nayantara's Necklace' is a bitter-sweet tale of friendship of two polar opposite women. Shome plays a middle-class housewife who befriends Nayantara (Sen Sharma) a high flying jet setter. Nothing is common between the two except for the fact that their sons study in the same school. An uncanny friendship is formed where Shome is seen emulating Nayantara's style and mannerisms not at all being aware of the deep dark secrets that her new friend hides behind that smile.
A beautiful scene in the twenty minute long film has the two women discussing a long forgotten crush (Devaiah in a charming cameo) and Nayantara teaching her naive friend the nuances of sipping wine. Beautifully performed by the two actresses, the scene puts a smile on your face.
The makers of critically acclaimed 'Ahalya'- Large Short Films- have produced this film as well. While the two are strikingly different from each other, they series is surely raising the bar of cinema in India. Each of the films are unique and boast of marvelous performances.

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Review

For most of the reviews here at Gadgets 360, we use the mobile in question as our primary phone for about a week or so before sharing our verdict with you. We realise this isn't perfect, since there are some aspects of the device that don't become obvious during that time, and in an ideal world, we'd use every phone for a couple of months before we publish our review. But we work under constraints where most devices aren't available to us for that long - almost all products that we review are loaned to us by companies for short durations - and there's also the competitive pressure of wanting to get your review out before others do, as long as it doesn't involve cutting any corners. With the launch of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in India, Apple offered to loan the two new iPhones to Gadgets 360 - and indeed other publications - for more than the typical timeframe of a few days. The India iPhone launch of course came a few we...

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have made these Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies at least 20 times now. Not exaggerating. I first made these when we were in the Philippines, when it was a struggle to just keep butter solid for 2 seconds on the counter, and they were absolutely incredible. I had no idea how or why, but they just WORKED. And they blew my mind in the way only a perfect chocolate chip cookie really can. But then every once in a while, they didn’t work. I’m not always super exact with my baking, but still. They were not thick and chewy and buttery like the perfect cookie should be. Some of your comments said the same things – most of the time they worked, but sometimes they didn’t. And I don’t like that. Now I’m back home in dry, cool Minnesota and I have been waiting for this day just so I could figure out what would really make these cookies awesome for you. You who live in normal climates and shop at Cub Foods. I am now speaking your cookie-baking language. Since I’m re...
