Issue 19: Bills, Conspiracy, Mentorship, this and that

Aug 1, 2021

BRAND: Indian Union

Govt is coming with its own WhatsApp alternative. That too, right after the whole pegasus

story coming out. It seems like they are looking for Atmanirbhar

in surveillance. (Someone pointed out that spying their own people is a quality of great rulers - Good rulers listen, Great rulers spy!) Btw, did you hear about DNA Profiling Bill

MOVIE: National Award-winning filmmaker is coming out with a fictional feature, ‘Aadhaar’, and UIDAI, has suggested 28 cuts!

Not sure if the movie will release soon, but here is the trailer

. Fellow Indians, we have more censor boards now! Congrats! Btw, did you hear about the Cinematograph Bill

MALIK: Fahad’s Malik

is trending, and Fahad is now the flag-bearer of Malayalam movies

. While makers claim it is an entirely fictional story (Fahad’s version of Nayakan), it is pretty similar to what happened at Beemapalli, but with a strange narrative that considers police as an autonomous entity, without any connection to the State Govt! Read Nidheesh’s tweets

on Beemapalli Incident, and MediaOne’s

take on the movie narrative (And if you can read Malayalam, check this out

!).

ADPList: I am now a mentor at mentorship platform ADPList

! Being a designer, who has learned everything from his network of friends, experts, and professionals, I find this an excellent opportunity to share and learn! If you are into product/design and have questions on the process, communication, leadership, or career progression, feel free to ping me!

FIGMA: I plan to release a small note that introduces ‘What is Figma’ for managers and developers. If you have any suggestions based on your experience, do share them with me.
