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.

This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning. Administrator McCarthy announced several new actions the agency will take to help support a smooth transition to climate-friendly alternatives to HFCs. "EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...

iPad Pro Review

The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000 , all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet. Realistically, you should get the 128GB model, which costs Rs. 79,900, and also the Apple Smart Keyboard , which will set you back by Rs. 14,900. Artists, designers, and others might also need to buy the Apple Pencil , priced at Rs. 8,600 - which means a final price tag between Rs. 94,800 and Rs. 1,03,400. At that price, you can't really compare it to the iPad Air 2 , the last 10-inch model to be released, with an MRP of Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB variant.
