And I also sang a song about building toilets in Karnataka for girls’ children. Because in many rural schools there are no toilets. So we did a song and whatever fund we raised dedicated to building toilet and I also got the opportunity to sing in front of the Indian army a couple of times and it was a complete goosebump moment for me”

There’s nothing quite like the peace in the mountains, being surrounded by nature’s giants. Setting amid the lush greens, with streams of cold water flowing by, the town of Kalimpong is one of the best examples in the site of the Himalayan foothills in West Bengal. The serendipity of the place beholds the eyes of every soul walking through its streets. From the sky-touching mountains to the soft-spoken inhabitants, Kalimpong is nothing less than a heaven. And, when the environment itself is like this, it’s quite uncomplicated to fall in love. ‘Love in Kalimpong’ is a short film set in the town that gives promising respect to its culture, and has birthed the popularity of folk-rock music.

Produced under the banner of Blackeye Entertainment LLP and Chai Stories Films LLP, the short film has a commendable cast with actor Raghav Diwanand actress Rajeswari Chakraborty in the lead roles. Prithviraj Das Gupta, the director of the film recently spilled some tea about the movie which has got everyone on the edge of their seats as they anticipate the film to release.

Question 1:

How does the story sets in and resonates with the beauty of Kalimpong and how is it planned to amalgamate both the things together?

Answer 1:

When love is combined with the beauty of nature, magic is bound to happen. Having grown up here, I am acquainted with the intricacies of the town. Kalimpong inhibits a lot of memorabilia from the British Period, including its architecture which adds to the complete theme of the movie. But the most exquisite aspect of the same is, we have cactuses growing here, amidst the mountains. It is never thought that a cactus can find its way to grow in the hills lest being the reason for its beauty. The stark difference between the two makes them stand out when being together. We portray the same thing through the movie. Two individuals from opposite worlds collide and fall in love with each other. It is the personification of the two with the cactus and the mountain that gives it a serene vibe.

Question 2:

Generally, when we talk about love stories, they have had some real-life inspiration. So where did your inspiration come from for ‘Love in Kalimpong’?

Answer 2:

The written story is a combined effort of Akshita Vohra, FTII pass out and a friend of mine from Dehradun, and me. I have seen a lot of people go through something similar which made me weave their experiences together. Kalimpong is very famous for its folk-rock music. It has a deep-rooted essence and love flowing which inspired me to concoct a story around one of its musicians that gave birth to the character of ‘Rishi’.

Similarly, when it comes to ‘Iris’, she has every quality one could see in a northeastern girl. She has the innocence and the curiosity I have always witnessed in people around me in the town. There is a mystery that lies behind those eyes, which could only be solved through the medium of the film.

Question 3:

Having shot a variety of films earlier, what is that value you keep taking forward with every new venture of yours?

Answer 3:

My feature film ‘Green Blackberries’ was very raw and straightforward talking about the education system. It was a part of the Indian panorama in the 51st International film Festival of india. I didn’t experiment much with that movie, but certainly, it showcased the beauty of Mizoram where it was shot. Similarly, with ‘Love in Kalimpong’ I want the world to see how impeccably beautiful the North-Eastern part of our country is. It is a fiction film, gives me all the power to go fanatical with the cinematography portraying the town most magnificently. Our DOP, Gaurav Roy has been doing a terrific job with the camera.

Question 4:

What are the major things at the top of your mind that you most importantly want to focus on while filming the movie? Also, does your star cast share the same vision?

Answer 4:

We want to tell the whole story in a very fluid manner. It will provide a very immersive experience to its viewers that they feel as if they are amid the huge rocks standing on the green grass. My prime focus is maintaining the visuals in the most premium manner. This adds to how I finalized the cast as well. I have worked with Raghav Diwan earlier and he is the perfect fit for the character with his rugged yet hypnotic personality suiting to be a musician. And talking about Rajeshwari, I wanted to have someone who I could mold into the character easily, someone who is fresh and wowed by the beauty of what is happening around. She has been the winner of Miss Sikkim and Miss North East as well. Living in Kalimpongfor a while, all of us have imbibed the emotions of the place and dwell in the peace it provides.

Question 5:

As a filmmaker, what do you think is the most important aspect of direction?

Answer 5:

Getting into filmmaking is like jumping into an ocean full of creativity. It requires precision. I think the one thing that stands very important for me will always be the relatability factor. My visuals need to be something that I have already lived in so that I know how to depict them in the most honest way possible. It is only then the viewers would relate. If you could satisfy your heart and enjoy the experience of what you are creating, then for sure your audience will end up falling in love with it.

Confederating the culture of the town with its incessant beauty, ‘Love in Kalimpong’ is certain to break the grounds with the love it will bring along. The innocence of the people through the characters, presenting the musical epiphany through folk-rock, and depicting the magic of a cactus growing amid the high mountains, the movie is intending to be an intense ride of love.

The industry employs over 45 million people directly to 60 million people indirectly, thus making an aim to increase the employment in the industry.

Mithi Kalra launched her eponymous brand in 2012 after graduating from the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), with a studio in Noida, along with a team of seven. Since then, Mithi has been selling via her website offline store and social media channels like Facebook and Instagram named House of Mithi Kalra. With her vast clientele across the countries and globally, Kalra has displayed her designs at prominent shows like India Runway Week and done exhibitions in Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities.

“My business grew at a rate of 70 percent last year even during the time of COVID-19, as people started shopping online at a wider scale. Despite selling via Facebook and Instagram, I have also launched my website, mithikalra.com, last month due to the positive response from the audience.

“I am also planning to open a store in Udaipur, as a lot of my clientele resides there and have been purchasing from me. I also plan to tap into Men’s wear this year and am launching my own real jewellery collection,” Mithi says.

Started her design house in 2015, as “House of Mithi Kalra”, her first collection was an intricate concoction of Madhubani Paintings on dresses based on Disney Princess. Mithi travelled a lot and aimed at reaching the craftsmen for the Madhubani Paintings directly, as she feels that the role of middlemen often takes away the wages that the weavers can earn,” The role of the craftsman is underrated and there should be efforts from the Fashion Industry to help them grow equally. Kalra feels that this is a massive step in growing the textile industry towards the right direction,” she reiterates.

Aiming for the same success in the future, Mithi says, “We plan to introduce different forms of art in our collection and take such arts globally. The first collection that revolved around Madhubani Paintings that is practiced in Bihar and done by hands, this was received well by critics and our customers in India and especially Overseas. We aim to introduce new concepts with different forms of paintings in our designs,”

She might be just 20, but this talented, young lady is already making her mark in the field of contemporary Indian literature, winning hearts and breaking records. Adding another feather to her cap, Pragya’s debut book “Whispers of a Nyctophile” won the Best Poetry Book Award in a recently concluded National Book Awards Ceremony, the results of which were declared on the night of 10^th May,2021. From the final 16 nominees, Pragya’s beautiful book grabbed the top spot, adding another trophy to her cabinet. “I am really happy with the love and appreciation pouring in for my book. Honestly, I never thought my book would come this far and get nominated for awards but it feels beyond overwhelming to see my work being honoured at the National level multiple times. For me, it’s not the awards that matter, but the confidence and joy that comes with every win, motivating me to dedicate myself towards my art with greater enthusiasm”, said Pragya after her win.

The budding writer, already ecstatic on being recently selected to the list of 100 Inspiring Authors of India, calls this award a cherry on the cake. She shares that the happiest moment in her literary journey was when she woke up one day to find her book being picked up by leading National Newspaper Hindustan Times to be listed among 13 most impactful reads in Indian Literature. “I was crying happy tears! I couldn’t believe my eyes; it was huge for me”, the young author said.  The joy only accelerated when OUTLOOK India and THE WEEK magazine picked up her book to their 10 Must-Read Recommendations list too.

Pragya started writing when she was in the third standard with no initial plans of pursuing a career in literature. However, as years rolled by, her write ups received immense appreciation from people who encouraged her to write books. It was in high school that she took up writing seriously, weaving tiny dreams of being a published author one day. Today, fulfilling her dream in a beautiful way, she describes how taking up engineering almost put an end to her dream. “It was difficult initially. I hardly had time to devote to literature with the piles of unceasing assignments, projects, exams and college work in a city so far away from home. I was also working in the technical department of my College Robotics team, where I designed and manufactured robots with my team for National and International Competitions, leaving me with no time to explore literature. So, I decided to bury my dreams and give up writing forever. But then, I met an angel in human form who was adamant that I shouldn’t give up a dream I had been weaving for so long when I actually had the calibre. The support, encouragement and strength from this person was so immense that I became more confident than ever to make a comeback and live my dreams no matter what. Today, I can only thank this person from the bottom of my heart for waking up the dead writer inside me because now that I think of it, every little achievement I have had is because of this comeback that he made possible. I think every artist needs an inspiration and a motivation factor for the successful continuation of their art and this person will always remain my biggest strength and inspiration”, says Pragya.

It needs no introduction that she created history by becoming the youngest Indian author to write a best-selling debut book in a span of just 3 days. On the work front, Pragya has already co-authored 10 poetry books besides her own debut and is actively writing for various magazines and media. She is writing her next 2 books out of which one is a romantic thriller and the other is her second volume of poems. While she is really excited about launching her next books, she is taking things slow owing to academics, being a pre-final year student and announced that her books would be released post her graduation. One can easily surmise that Pragya is definitely going to create a big name for herself in the Indian poetry world and is one of the most talented, contemporary Indian poets currently.
