Death of Chivalry

We wanted to find out whether something as simple as being helped carry a heavy load on the road was unnatural. The video speed has been doubled up in order to make a short film without loosing the parts where we were helped and the parts where we were ignored.

When two girls were walking on the road carrying a large carton people ignored us for a while. We crossed busy streets and the traffic too did not pay heed. Only once did an old gentleman come and offer his help and tell us to not hesitate to ask for help. Four gentlemen standing in a huddle refused to move a little in order to let us pass even though we continuously asked them to excuse us.

The quality of footage for when Abhishek lifted the carton himself was not usable thus we only have stories to offer. Abhishek was helped twice along the short path he took. Since the carton was actually not heavy, while helping him one man actually started laughing.

an animal that is trying to prove

music star

our idea is how when we say 'rockstar' the image that comes in my mind is of a beefy guy holding guitar and growling on a big stage and crowd going mad but never a lady singing rock and doing the same even when there are many girl rock bands like 'the runaways'

similarly when we say pop star the image that comes in the mind is of a girl but not really we would image a guy singing pop.

True self

Masks:

A covering for all or part of the face, in particular is what my Mac’s dictionary defines it, quite clear there are many types of masks personally I like Japanese masks because I think they are more ambiguous and have deeper meanings associated to them. But recently I came across a mask of a different type that we permanently wear over our faces to have a face, which we want, to look something you are not, to be someone you are not. These masks are our emotions, our way of presenting ourselves basically in every situation. We wear masks permanently maybe to look different in front of others and have a different impression on them which u want. But if u wear them all the time then what is your true self? Then what are trying to be, relative to what? I don’t think we even realize that our true self is hidden underneath a mask. I think these masks are because of the influences that shaped us. Maybe we prefer wearing these masks to hide our insecurities and our limitations. But I see no harm wearing them because that’s way this world works. In a way it also creates a sense of competition between people. So I think its kind of important.

You don't know me.

This video is definitely beyond the time limit. However we felt that we had a lot of fun doing the whole project so we wanted everyone to see what we came up with. Sorry that we got carried away. We accept all penalization. Abhishek and Shreya.

how and when i realized my gender?

i realized my gender when i was in grade 3 after a bullying incident that happened with me when a group of my classmates bullied me and dragged me and locked me in the girls washroom and there were already some girls inside. I felt very embarrassed when i came out and people teased me about it for months after that which left a deep impact on mind as it clearly marked a clear boundary in my mind about the difference between girls and boys. Also many unanswered questions and built-in interests and fantasies which were just there and I never knew about them but when i became aware of them like ' oh yeah! i like cars and hot girls and guns are nice but i hate dolls' was actually true and that what a man really likes and thats exactly what i like. This realization played an important role in helping me realize my gender.
