Dangerous sinkholes form around receding Dead Sea
Thousands of sinkholes have formed around the Dead Sea, the landlocked salt lake between Israel and Jordan.
The Dead Sea has lost a third of its surface area since 1960. It has been receding by about a metre every year. The receding of the Dead Sea has caused thousands of sinkholes to form around its shores.

The Hindu LFL 2021 - Sense, Smell, Touch - Collaborating in Theatre Making
No matter if it's a web series on 4k resolution or a film on an IMAX screen, nothing matches up to the romance and physicality of theatre. From the playwright to the director to the actors and finally to the spectators, not to forget the numerous other contributors like the set designers, costume creations, theatre is a beautiful representation of how different creative minds come together with a singular thought to create an unforgettable sensorial production.
We are really looking forward to this discussion between Anuradha Kapur and Deepan Sivaram on how creation is as much a collaborative process as it is about an individual piece of creation.
Let me take a moment to introduce the speakers
Anuradha Kapur is a theatre maker and an academic. Her theatre work has travelled nationally and internationally and taught in universities in India and abroad. She is the founder-member of Vivadi, a working group of theatre-makers, visual artists, filmmakers, musicians and writers. She was awarded the Sangeet Natak Akademi award for Direction in 2004. Anuradha Kapur completed her term as Director National School of Drama, New Delhi in 2013, where she was also Professor of Acting and Direction. She is presently Visiting Professor at
Ambedkar University, Delhi.
Deepan Sivaraman is a renowned theatre director and scenographer based in Delhi. He is the founding Artistic Director of Oxygen Theatre Company in Kerala and Performance Studies Collective based in Delhi. He was the artistic director of the International Theatre Festival of Kerala for the 2014 edition, which had the curatorial focus on Transition, Spectatorship and Gender. Presently he is the Dean of School of Culture and Creative Expressions at the Ambedkar University, Delhi.

The Atacama desert is the driest place on the planet. But it is one of the best places in the world to conduct astronomical observations.
But now, it is increasingly suffering from pollution created by fast fashion. It has become a dumping ground for used clothes.

Talking Politics with Nistula Hebbar
In this episode of Talking Politics with Nistula Hebbar, we discuss Prime Minister #NarendraModi’s announcement of withdrawing the three contentious #farmlaws.
The move is being seen as a natural fallout of the traction that protests by farmers’ groups against them have had in the States going to the polls in early 2022, especially #Punjab and #UttarPradesh.

The Hindu LFL 2021 - This is my story: Sudha Kongara in conversation with Chitra Mahesh.
In an increasingly digital, digitised world where we curate content to fit form and expression, our cinema and the treatment of it has also seen significant change. Films unfold in an anthology format to cater to an audience that is both diverse and distracted. These varied treatments have also opened up a world of possibilities for filmmakers both in terms of ideas and filmmaking techniques.
More recently, we witnessed Paava Kadhaigal in 2020, an Indian Tamil-language anthology drama web series directed by Sudha Kongara, Gautham Menon, Vetrimaaran and Vignesh Shivan.[1] Through four unique stories, the film explores how pride, honour, and sin influence complex relationships of love.
We are excited to welcome Sudha Kongra as she discusses her journey in cinema with Chitra Mahesh.
Sudha Kongara started her career in 1999 as a screenwriter for the English film, Mitr My Friend, directed by Revathi. The film won the Best English Film of the year at the 49th National Film Awards. In 2000, she joined Madras Talkies as an Associate Director to Mani Ratnam and,
for seven years, assisted him in films such as Aayutha Ezhuthu, Yuva (Hindi and Telugu), and Guru (Trilingual). In 2010, she
made her directorial debut with Drohi. Among her many successful films is the 2016 box-office hit, Irudhi Suttru. The film won many awards including Filmfare South’s Best Director Tamil. In 2020, her projects included Soorari Pottru, Illamai Idho Idho (a segment of the Tamil anthology series, Putham Pudhu Kalai for Amazon Prime) and Thangam (a segment of the Tamil anthology series, Paava Kadhaigal for Netflix).
Chitra Mahesh has over 25 years of experience in media, with a substantial portion being with newspapers of national importance. She is particularly interested in music, art, culture and health. She is the Managing Trustee of the Mahesh Memorial Trust and works to create awareness of paediatric cancers and helps children from low-income families receive treatment. As Founder Trustee of CanCare Foundation, she works to raise funds and helps identify those from low-income groups who require palliative care.

The Hindu LFL 2021 - A Viral World: Why viruses are necessary?
Perhaps, the word most often used in the past year or so, is the word, Virus.
Viruses are the world’s most abundant life form, and now, when humanity is in the midst of a close encounter with their immense power, perhaps they are also the most feared. But do we understand viruses?
Pranay Lal’s Invisible Empire: The Natural History of Viruses brings together science, history and great storytelling to paint a fascinating picture of viruses as a major actor, not just in human civilisation but also in the human body. With rare photographs, paintings, illustrations and anecdotes, it is a magnificent and an extremely relevant book for our times, when we are attempting to understand viruses and examining their role in the lives of humans.
