Are we going to learn from 2020? To Survive and Live

Writer Gulzar’s dialogue in the Bollywood film ‘Anand’ was a huge hit. The film was such that no sensitive audience could stop their tears. 2020 has brought this 40 years old dialogue back. It has been a historic year that has taught us a lot, especially those truths of life and the truth of the lost or commercial sensation that was lost in these forty years by the terror named Corona. Earlier, we used to get restless with the feeling of passing our loved ones, but now death comes as a general news and passes in an instant. Many such moments were seen this year when even the passing of a lot of loved ones forced you to do nothing more than just an instant oops. The Corona period strengthened us from within and tried to tell that brother, if you have to protect yourself properly, then leave the rest of the worries. There is only you here and no one else. Learn to live for yourself or to the extent of your family. Now such songs have no meaning that ‘live for yourself, what do you live, you live for your heart’.

 

happy new year 2021 corona blog film industry IndiaIn any way, marketism had strangled the senses, reduced the importance of relationship lines, made everyone a ‘separatist’ and largely insensitive. Have we ever wondered what we have lost by saying that we should learn from 2020, where did we bring ourselves and how much fear has weakened by an unintentional, fear of superstition? Already we were no less superstitious, doubt and apprehension were part of human instincts, but this fear of death did not make us so isolated, lonely and timid. When there was no death. This is the way of nature that has come, it will go. You get lakhs treated, get vaccinated, lock yourself in the glass room.. When you have to go, you have to go. Then how can this ‘social animal’ be ‘anti-social’?

 

happy new year 2021 corona blog film industry bihar election crowdPerhaps this is the reason why the election meetings are crowded, religious events are crowded, markets are crowded, roads are jammed, Diwali shopping is crowded, tourist places are crowded, farmers are crowded, Bengal is crowded, Bihar Is crowded and there is crowd everywhere. Corona Maharaj (King of the kings) is also thinking that it is better to stay away from the crowd in this crowd. The health department is giving statistics on the statistics, counting is being done percentage by percentage and now let’s also start this vaccine game. Big news is going on and all kinds of dreams are being shown about the vaccine. Looks like an angel has come, he swings the stick and touches the corona. The Prime Minister is saying that brother, stay away from the spreaders of rumors. In this country, rumors spread very fast, first spread about Corona, now it will spread about vaccine too, so stay away. Let people say what they want to say, believe what we are saying.

 

Obviously, the Corona era has changed the color of our Prime Minister. He has become complete Baba (Saint). He is also liking the new getup. The farmers are understandably upset, they have been playing the same melody for months. Farmers are also cool. The movement goes on like a picnic. Song music, modern tent city, shopping malls, excellent food and drink. The Gurudwaras have opened their hearts ‘Vahe Guru Ji’s Khalsa, Vahe Guru Ji’s victory’. In Vigyan Bhawan, some VIP farmers are taking lunch with the Ministers, taking selfies. Have you ever seen such an interesting movement? This is also awesome for 2020.

 

The ten months of 2020 have been amazing. Your entire lifestyle has changed. Masks become part of your life and dress. One to one designer masks. All forms of sanitizer came on the market. If you go to the offices, it is like a rain of the sanitizer like a flower waterfall from the archway. Large plants were set up. Corona gave a lot of work to all the NGOs. Less people started working in offices. Extravagance over

 

5G cleared the way in one stroke. It seems that the whole world has become digital and virtual. By the way, WhatsApp and Facebook had already indicated that now is the time for the virtual world. But 2020 made everyone’s silver in one stroke. Even if you cannot be digital, then you are the top boss. Old-minded people still consider it to be a conspiracy and a conspiracy to cut it off from each other, but perhaps this is what 21st century India is. And now in 2021, see what else is new. The crop of land that has been prepared by 2020 will be shaken in 2021 and you will see a new unique world taking shape. So welcome 2021 with new expectations.

 

Do not worry about your business in India. We are here for you. If you are planning to film something, do not stop because of corona. Get in touch with us. Whatever condition maybe, we will work to survive and support you. Supporting each other in tough times is all humanity teaches us all.

All you must know before filming in the Himalayas

The Himalayas is the world’s highest mountain range, and has 9 out of 10 of the highest peaks in the world, including Mount Everest. These mountains, known as the Third Pole, are indeed the source of some of the major rivers in Asia, and also help control the climate of the earth. For strengthen our plot, we all love a good statistic and the Himalayas are a real treasure trove. The world’s highest mountain range extends along its 2400 km in length across five nations. It has over 50 mountains above 7,200 m and all 14 of the peaks are above 8000 m. For the ultimate guide to filming in the Himalayas you need to have a fixer in India. 

 

Whether you’re working on a documentary, a TV reality show, or a commercial, Ladakh offers a cinematic backdrop unlike any other. However, filming in this remote region comes with its own set of challenges, including obtaining multiple permissions, managing logistics, and navigating sensitive border areas. As a premier Fixer in Ladakh, we ensures that international filmmakers can focus on their craft while we handle all the intricacies of production.

 

ultimate guide to filming in the Himalayas - Filming Indo 2

Even though the Himalayas have so much more to offer to filmmakers than outstanding statistics. They include an amazing variety of mountain locations ranging from massive snow-capped panoramic views, alpine forests, meadows and streams to high altitude desert areas, plateaus, glaciers and huge azure lakes. They are equivalently culturally diverse with Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and Buddhist religious communities, along with so many tribal communities it would be impossible to list all of them.

Visas and Permits

All the countries of the Himalayan region require a visa to enter. If you want to keep it legal and above board then in your production plan you will need to start this phase early. For the application process you should approach the Indian Embassy or Consulate of the countries concerned. In most cases your Media Fixer won’t be able to get local permits in your name unless you have a general authorization to shoot in the region. Broadly speaking, these formalities take 3-16 weeks to complete but this differs greatly from country to country. The costs of all the necessary permits and the expenses of the fixer associated with early acquisition of them are worth investigating.

 

Get in to Himalayas

ultimate guide to filming in the Himalayas - Filming Indo reaching by flight

Some towns can be reached by road in the Himalayas, and some by train or plane, although many of the more rural areas need trekking.

 

The Dhauladhar range in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh is the fastest route to amazing Himalayan locations. It’s a short one hour and 20 minute domestic flight to Dharamshala airport, where you land right in the foothills of the mountains, after arriving at Delhi International airport. A quick hour and a half drive away and you can fly to nearby high snow-capped mountains in an unspoilt valley.

 

Climate

ultimate guide to filming in the Himalayas - Filming Indo climate

Due to the altitude and shortage of any significant body of water nearby to balance the climate, the Himalayan weather is more extreme than in other places with similar latitudes. Many of the peaks have year-round snow atop them, and there are many glaciers.

 

Throughout the region there is a wide variation in micro-climates; two valleys only a few miles apart though isolated by the mountains may have quite different climates because one gets more sun or the wind patterns affect them in different manner.

 

Flora and Fauna

ultimate guide to filming in the Himalayas - Filming Indo flora and fauna

There are over 163 worldwide threatened species found around the Himalayas. It includes Asia’s three biggest herbivores – Asian elephant, bigger one-horned Rhinoceros, and wild Water Buffalo – and Tiger, its largest carnivorous.

 

The grasslands of the Himalayas have the densest number of Bengal tigers, residing alongside Asian elephants and one-horned rhinos. The mountains offer red pandas, golden langurs, and takins refuge. This is the world’s only known location where Bengal tigers and snow leopards share their habitat.

 

Communications

ultimate guide to filming in the Himalayas - Filming Indo 6

In the Himalayas this can be extremely difficult as you easily lose coverage of your cell phone network. When you’re filming in India, it doesn’t allow satellite phones and UHF / VHF radios to be used, but they allow unlicensed CB radios and have a limited mountaineering frequency band. Rural has a range of useful GPS gears that not only enable you to monitor your position and follow directions, but also enable you to stimulate an emergency response, display your exact location and send text messages through the use of the Iridium satellite network.

 

Safety

ultimate guide to filming in the Himalayas - Filming Indo 5

Altitude sickness is a concern, with many of the Himalayan passes reaching 5000 m. Raise your altitude as slowly as possible, stop traveling from low to high level, limit your physical activity; and drink plenty of liquids after altitude gain. Sickness at altitude is unpredictable, and may strike individuals who have not had problems before. Allow yourself plenty of flexibility in your plans, and don’t push higher when you’re about to rest.

 

Location

The Himalayas spread through a number of countries. India has many great locations including:

 

Jammu and Kashmir — This was a popular destination for travelers with its mountains and lakes, before the Pakistan-India dispute escalated. Although Srinagar is reasonably safe, much of the countryside is dangerous and some of it off-limits, particularly along the border.

 

Ladakh is the important exception here, an independent Kingdom with its own culture for centuries but now administratively part of Kashmir. It is not to be missed, offering much in the way of sight-seeing, and trekking.

 

Himachal Pradesh A friendly laid back, primarily Hindu state, with a population of Tibetan Refugees; popular with tourists;

 

Uttaranchal Another state of India, the Ganges source, has many pilgrimage sites in it.

 

Uttar Pradesh A state that is mainly on the plains but bordering the mountains, including some.

 

There are many Buddhist monasteries and related sight in Sikkim Wedged between Nepal, Bhutan, China and West Bengal. Here trekking is restricted because of the border’s closeness to China. You may need a local fixer and go as a party, and the number of routes is very small.

 

West Bengal much of the province is on the plains, a heavily populated agricultural and manufacturing region, but the northern edge extends into the mountains. As a tourist destination the area around Darjeeling is popular.

 

Arunachal Pradesh At the extreme northeast of India and seldom visited by visitors, this state is a fascinating mix with a large tribal population; people follow the religious practices of Animist, Hindu, Buddhist, and Baptist.

Top 10 International NGO’s bringing change in India

A NGO is a non-profit, citizen-based organization that operates independently of government, but may participate in international philanthropic, economic, or social missions. NGOs usually advocate with different social causes that can be highly diverse — from caring with street dogs to drug abusers being rehabilitated.

Since India is a large country — both geographically and demographically — the government alone cannot uplift the poor and support the impoverished sections of society. Various international development organizations have been active in India for decades, and have contributed greatly to helping Indian communities emerge from the quagmire of deprivation and education. Their work contributes in different ways to the country’s economic development. NGOs need funds to conduct their work and they only operate on donations.

Street Child Cricket World Cup (SCCWC)

The STREET CHILD CRICKET WORLD CUP, organized by Street Child United, focuses on bringing together street children from around the world to participate in their own international cricket tournament and raise awareness to address the problems and adverse abuse that they face.

They don’t take money from governments, intergovernmental bodies, political parties or companies to escape their influence, according to the organization. Their central fundraising strategy is called “Direct Dialog Recruiting,” where the fundraising team goes out on the street and meets the ordinary people directly to address the current environmental situation and how Greenpeace is trying to bring about a meaningful change. Such conversations eventually lead to the individual concerned being registered as a donor and as a volunteer.

No coal mining in one of Asia’s oldest sal forests.

TYPES OF PRODUCT

Tirupur The Export Hub of Knitted Garments in India 3

Tirupur has emerged as a leading export cluster in knitwear over the past two decades, and has built its presence in Europe, the US, and the Pacific. The Tirupur cluster has evolved as a highly connected unit cluster which transforms cotton into knitwear products together. Specific units are particularly specialized in the manufacturing, dyeing, processing, sewing and export marketing of fabrics.

 

Known as ‘T-shirt City,’ this town’s industry began producing low-value cotton hosiery products, primarily in the 1930’s under garments. In 1937 Gulam Kadar, who founded “Baby Knitting Industries” in the Kaderpet area of Tirupur, brought Knitting to this district.

 

Tirupur has traditionally produced knitwear and, in particular, established its name in India in the manufacture of cotton underwear. Tiruppur also specializes in the low-volume mid-fashion market , particularly in the wear and supply of children and women to some of the world’s leading retailers, such as Marks and Spencers.

 

Tirupur knitwear cluster has diversified its production portfolio from being manufacturers of simple knitwear for the lower end of the domestic market to a range consisting of t-shirts, polo shirts, sportswear, sweat shirts, ladies’ dresses, children’s apparel, nightwear, etc. The cluster requires a significant degree of specialization in most areas including supply of machinery in addition to every area of the production operation.

 

EMPLOYMENT

Tirupur The Export Hub of Knitted Garments in India 4

Tirupur knitting industry employs more than 3.5 lakhs of people from neighboring districts and states, including both local and migrated labor force. The labour-power available to the firms in and around Tirupur is of agricultural base and as such the skill level has always been a concern for the producers. But even in the absence of formal training in and within companies, the average time spent in the manufacturing process is three weeks for an agricultural labour to absorb.

 

In the Tirupur knitting industry the average ratio of male to female is 50 per cent. There are two payment systems in Tirupur and, according to the representative of the trade union, 30 per cent of the workforce is under piece rate and rest work is under shift. For their contract labor, most factories work with contractors and almost 40 percent of the workforce is on contract basis.

 

Tirupur textile industry has units along the knitwear value chain starting from spinning , weaving, wet processing, printing, fabrication of garments, embroidery, compacting, calendar and exports. As of 2008, as reported by Tirupur Exporter Association (TEA), the Tirupur cluster comprises a total of 6250 units in different value chain.

 

ECONOMY

Tirupur The Export Hub of Knitted Garments in India

Around 45% of India’s clothing is in the form of knitwear, and here the Tirupur Tamilnadu center plays a pivotal role, producing as much as 80% of the knitted clothing exports; in other words, around 4% of India’s total export trade.

 

In 2006-07 the export crossed the Rs. 11,000 crores mark from a meager Rs.10crores in 1984. In 2007-08, rupee-to-dollar export appreciation decreased by 10 per cent and Rs. 9,950crores were reported.

 

DEVELOPMENT

Tirupur The Export Hub of Knitted Garments in India 2

There are numerous local representative institutions and support bodies, as well as government initiatives, which have had a major effect on the growth of the knitwear sector in Tirupur, including:

 

Textiles Committee under the Ministry of Textiles, Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC); South Indian Hosiery Manufacturers’ Association (SIHMA), more active, Tirupur Exporters Association (TEA) representing the knitwear exporters in the city; and Knit Cloth Manufacturer’s Association (KNITMA), Tirupur Dyers Association and Tirupur Export Knit Printers Association (UNIDO, 2005).

 

The organization of exporters, Tirupur Exporters Group (TEA), has certainly enabled growth of the cluster. It works with the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) to create a fashion and training center in Tirupur in addition to organizing international trade fairs in Tirupur. This has embarked on an ambitious program to develop Tirupur’s urban infrastructure, in partnership with a state agency and a global private firm.
