Ray: A series which is painfully long and monotonous

It is very interesting when a noted filmmaker and writer stories are presented before the public to commemorate his style of filmmaking. The adaptations if not made to the mark can lead to criticism and lynching. Ray is the latest anthology on Netflix which adapts Satyajit Ray's stories.

Though I have never watched Ray's movies or read his stories I can say that this is not an adaptation that even Satyajit Rai would have appreciated. The stories keep on stretching themselves on and on and it is a painful experience to watch the series.

There is no doubt that the cast and crew have done a wonderful job in the series but there is a problem with the adaptation. The series could have been better if the stories had a shorter duration.

Some of my favourite actors in the series have like Kay Kay Menon, Bidita Bag, Manoj Bajpayee, Gajraj Rao and Radhika Madan have given good performances. Regarding others, some shine while others lose themselves in the crowd.

You can watch Ray only if you do not have anything else to watch otherwise it can be conveniently skipped. The series is not a perfect tribute to Satyajit Ray.

Online classes are becoming the biggest failures in India. Some of the reasons for the failure of online classes are bad internet connectivity. Despite knowing that all the work around the world is being done online, the cellular networks are not increasing their network speed due to which the class gets hampered.

The teachers are also facing a lot of issues in taking online classes as all the matter needs to be written well before hand so that the explanation becomes easier. The setting up of the class like env...

World Turtle Day: A day to protect and save turtles from extinction

Turtles are aquatic animals who live underwater and have a very good life span. However, many people keep them as pets at their homes which is not a correct thing to do. The main reason behind celebrating this day is to increase knowledge and respect for tortoise and turtles and make people aware of them. The day has been sponsored by American Tortoise Rescue since 2000 and encourages human action so that the creatures can survive and progress. It is one of the most important and effective species awareness days which can help in increasing the online information on turtles. The day is celebrated across the world in several ways, from wearing green summer dresses to dressing up like turtles. One can also save turtles caught on highways and use them for further research. The teachers can make Turtle Day craft projects and lesson plans to encourage teaching about turtles in the classrooms.
