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!

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 :)

Meena’s curiosity and concern for her sister makes her face all odds and seek out the source of information that helps her family save her sister’s life.

I cant help but comment that Meena’s family is pretty unique, in that they are supportive of her, trust her and give her credit when due. Often most girls face these challenges more than anyother.

Meena and her friends join forces to make her village a healthy place. From building low cost sanitation ‘latrines’ to hygienic habits, this video makes a case for simple wishes coming true.

The story of a girl brings the issue of HIV and AIDS into the vocabulary of children and introduces ’sex = making a baby process’ to children. I cant suggest how they would have done it differently, but by perpetuating a stereotype (of sex being only a reproductive and a heterosexual act), I see it tackling one part of the HIV/AIDS problem (stigma and discrimination) but lacking in others!

So I am left wondering, is playing safe better than not playing at all? (no puns intended)!!
