DEVcast

I have always been a huge fan of bread… plain wheat, mixed grain, sourdough, etc. And when I found this documentary by Yasmin Fedda on oneworld tv I had to see it. I found this subtle yet intricately captured film about the daily life of Gerald Breadmakers in Edinburg very charming. It may not offer you any great insights into the actual process of bread making but what you do realise is what makes this bread special.

I would love to show this video to a group of women from any rural community in India – especially since I wouldnt need to translate/dub etc. The message is clear and yet simply delivered.

If you know of anymore of such videos feel free to leave a comment here with the link we will feature it.

I am not sure if this is what I was thinking of finding, but its a training for trainer kind of video. Though at times it sounds almost like something that presents the best-case-scenario of how immunization is done. It is also a good guide to a public health graduate to know how it really should happen and what it should look like once they are done figuring out what’s really going wrong!

Nutrition abounds in our food, all we need to do is identify the food that is nutritious and hence good for our body. National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), Hyderabad uses folk music and dance to serve nutrition in a song. Aaah you get it, I dont speak telugu, so the words i picked up are: thindi, poshkahara and a couple more.

But I like the low-budget-ness of this video, though why wouldnt you shoot it outside – are the elements so hard to overcome in shooting a dance? I think it will be really apt as a radio song about nutrition too – so if you dont watch it full screen its ok

Age old adage – united we stand, divided we fall. Meena’s friend experiences that in this episode. The power of collective has the potential to be used both for good, evil or for teaching a lesson Its not hard to use it for the evil, often all it takes is a week moment but fear not, change is easy too, just acknowledge and lose the I for the We!

Any age under 18 is too young to marry for both girl and boy, not just according to law but because bodies and minds are still not ready for the additional responsibilities. However the star of the episode was clearly Mithu with matchmaking at its best

There is always something to be said for innocent love!
