For me, it doesn't get better than Fazal Hussain as Ramchand in Ramchand Pakistani (directed by ). The angst, innocence, helplessness all conveyed effortlessly. I have no idea how an eight-nine year old kid was able to give such an impactful and moving performance!

Making buses free will make them safer, faster and universally accessible—all while providing relief to working-class NYers.
That’s why it’s a key part of our plan to #FixTheMTA.
And it’s within reach—go to fixthemta.org/support and ask your state rep to support the package

The Salaam Citywalk team welcomed 60 guests from Vienna & Austria. They visited SBT's DMRC-Children Home for Boys & got a glimpse of the organisation, Child Helpline & Salaam City Walk. An eye-opener for them to learn about the grim realities of street children.

We get to watch Indian docus & indies only after the rest of the world has relished them, if at ALL. As we scream hoarse about RRR, All That Breathes, the true Indian contender at the Oscars, is being celebrated only in the west. We in India have no idea when/if we’ll see it.
