CRIMES COMMITTED AGAINST WOMEN, ITS HER FAULT?

RG KAR MEDICAL COLLEGE&HOSPITAL, THE HEINOUS ACTS

NOTE: THIS POST HAS INFO SOLELY BASED ON MY OWN RESEARCH, SOURCES FROM THE NEWS AND INTERNET SO CREDS OF SS TO THE OWNERS. if you have any other information regarding this case, please please do feel free to reblog this and share them, as i can't compile everything in one post due to the case being an ongoing one. I would appreciate if you could read all of it, I tried to keep it short and compact and easy enough for everyone to understand. Of course, I have to keep a few names and specific political parties and critism out of this for obvious reasons of this post being taken down, but trust me, karma is real.

Do tell me if I lack anything, will try my best to add it or make another post about it. WE WANT JUSTICE.

01 TAKE HER NAME, DON'T FORGET HER

Dr. Moumita Debnath, a junior female doctor, a 2nd year PGT at R G KAR medical college and hospital was gang r4ped and m4rdered in the college seminar hall, while she was in a 36 hr shift, in 9th of August, 2024, Kolkata.

R G KAR, a reputed college and hospital, only allowing the top of brains to enter its premises, has now lost it's name to this heinous crime. Moumita debnath's perpetrators live to this day and the college authorities are yet to pay any heed. Why?

That poor girl was bleeding from her eyes, vagina, with disfigured limbs and broken collarbones, bite marks, broken pelvic girdle and hyoid bone several other signs of struggle and violence ( attached report below ) Even her legs were forcefully coaxed apart, that her bones were broken. 150 gms of sperm was have been discovered from her body, when a male individual can only transfer a maximum of 15 gms. Can you imagine her pain? What did she do to deserve this pain and suffering, this heinous crime against her? Can you imagine how her parents must have felt to hear the news?

Oh, I forgot. This absolute blood boiling, gut wrenching and demonic of an act was immediately announced as a "SU3CIDE" upon initial FIR, and to her parents, by authorities. Can't you see? How they tried to coarctate the matter by calling it a su3cide?

How can a girl with extreme signs of violence and r4pe on her body, with little to no clothes, broken limbs, bleeding eyes, commit a su4cide? THIS IS A BLOT ON THE AUTHORITIES WHO ARE CLEARING VIEWING THIS MATTER AS A JOKE no girl in that condition can commit a su3cide, do you really think people are THAT DUMB?? that we won't notice you trying to cover up this case??

02 TAMPER THE EVIDENCE, HIDE THE CRIMINAL

Dr. Moumita Debnath's body was cremated without her parents' approval/permission. They were kept waiting for 3 fucking hours. As if to get rid of her body as soon as they can with minimal autopsy, before CBI could even start investigation.

As soon as this case was handed over from WBPD ( west bengal police department ) to CBI ( central bereau of intelligence ) mobs have barged in and LITERALLY DAMAGED THE WALLS BESIDE THE SEMINAR HALL ( the crime scene ) inside the college premises. And for what? Come on we know it all, for removal of some obvious evidence.

On 14th august, during the middle of the night which was during the ‘RAAT DOKHOLE MEYERA’ ( girls reclaim the night ) rally, in RG KAR, mobs yet again managed to infiltrate the college premises to cause damage again, this time targeting specific cctv cameras as well. They also vandalised public property and vehicles in a "profesional" way. — “MBBS student Anupam Roy, an eyewitness to the mob attack, said the mob's act was deliberate with the clandestine motive of ending their agitation.” — from Hindustan Times.

They even CAUSED HARM TO THE WASHROOMS OF THE FLOOR WHERE EVIDENCE COULD'VE BEEN FOUND. The motive of the mob is obvious— to tamper the evidence in order to protect the perpetrators.

03. POLITICS BEFORE BASIC LAW & ORDER?

Political parties are busy blaming each other and throwing dirt on names, meanwhile also trying to hide the perpetrators and start protests against opposition parties. Is your political position and meaningless arguments more valuable than a girl's life which been lost so brutally? Can we not keep politics aside, just for a moment and try to bring the girl justice? These thick skinned selfish monsters don't feel the pain of her parents, the emotions of helpless women and the crime they're commiting themselves.

They are slowly shifting away from the main matter of bringing her justice, trying to coarctate is slowly by heavy politics. Well the public is not dumb, we can see it all and understand how our CM doesn't even care about this situation.

SHAME ON YOU, the authorities, you're are only hope in this city in this state and you're acting this way?! Do you not have spines? Is money and votes everything to you? How low is too low and why is it the west bengal government?

They even have an accused suspect in custody ( Sanjoy Roy ) whom everybody is calling a scapegoat, which he possibly could be regarding the governments recent inactivities towards the situation. They are even giving out orders to resist rallies and protests, such a fucking disgrace, cause then vandalism and tampering of evidence is right but not raising your voice against it?

04. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE?

This year marks the 77th independent year for India, but are we really? Women are not safe at night walking along the streets their own ancestors fought for, women are not safe in their own workplace working shifts, women are not safe in public transport, in their homes, neighbourhood, schools, colleges, NOWHERE ARE WE ALLOWED TO HAVE A PEACEFUL BREATHE. But for how long? It's been 12 years since we witnessed a similar, horrible and atrocious crime as NIRBHAYA, only for it to happen again. This shows how weak, corrupted, and unjust Indian judiciary system has become, and as an Indian myself, it ashames me deeply to admit this. We are failing as a society, still not being able to create a safe environment for our women.

But time has come now to raise our voice and fists together against this oppressive, corrupt government and snatch our own freedom ourselves. DONT YOU EVER FORGET ABOUT HER, TAKE AND HER NAME AND PROMISE YOURSELF TO BRING HER JUSTICE. If we forget and give up, god knows how many others will die like this without any justice. Justice is ours and we will have it, there is no point of being 'independent' if we have to do candle marches every other day, mourn for our women every other day, be scared of letting our daughter out every other day.

This is time, we rise up as one.

We want the actual criminals to be punished a hundred times more cruelly than Dr. Moumita Debnath was k!lied.

WE WANT JUSTICE. BRUTAL PUNISHMENT TO THE CRIMINALS.

ALL EYES ON RG KAR. ALL EYES ON DOCTORS. JUSTICE FOR MOUMITA DEBNATH.

Propaganda

Cyd Charisse (The Bandwagon, Brigadoon, Singin’ in the Rain)—LEGS LEGS LEGS I would sell my soul for the legs of Cyd Charisse - she oozed style and glamour and sex appeal!! And she could DANCE! She was dancing next to the greats - Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire but they are never who you're looking at because why would you when you can look at her. I will only sit through too long ballet breaks for her. If there was any woman who you could call sex on legs it was her. These dances are everything to meeee (she comes in at the minute mark) and this dance too of course is iconic. In the words of Fred Astaire 'When you've danced with Cyd Charisse you stay danced with'

Suchitra Sen (Harano Sur, Chaowa Pawa)—Suchitra Sen! She had a 25-year career in Bengali films, and was at the height of popularity for a solid two decades as half of the wildly beloved pair of Uttam-Suchitra, who were practically the entire romantic genre of Bengali films by themselves. She acted in literary adaptations, romantic comedies, (melo)dramas and inspired-by-current-events films. She was the first Indian actress to receive an international award at the Moscow International Film Festival. In 1978, after the release of her last film (a box-office flop) she pulled a Garbo and put herself out of the public eye completely. She made no appearances, gave no interviews, refused awards, all of it. She didn't even show up for her daughter's or grand-daughters' debuts! She was taken for funerary rites in a covered hearse! The glamour! The mystery! That blinding smile!

This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Suchitra Sen:

Not to take away from her costars in Devdas (1955), but the great Indian cinematic tradition of Tragic Romantic Yearning would not, I argue, be what it is without Suchitra Sen's performance in that film. I root for things to turn out better for her every time, even though I know how things are going to go.

A Bengali cinema icon. Liked crows (per Gulzar, "It was an astonishing sight. The crows used to pick at the grapes from her hand").

Linked gifset

She once rejected Raj Kapoor's movie offer (one of the most successful actor and director at the time). She was quoted saying, “In men, I don’t look for beauty. I look for intelligence and sharp conversations. I had refused Raj Kapoor’s offer almost immediately. He came to my residence offering a lead role and, as I took my seat, he suddenly sat near my foot and offered me a bouquet of roses while offering the role. I rejected the offer. I did not like his personality. The way he behaved – sitting near my foot – did not befit a man.”

Legendary poet, lyricist, director and writer Gulzaar had this to say about her "Glad that my ‘Sir’—that’s what I call her— got the Dada Saheb Phalke award during her lifetime. Contrary to people’s perceptions, Suchitra Sen is an extremely warm and very very friendly person. I adore and respect her. But she has the right to choose her friends. Surely she’s justified in keeping away from every Tom, Dick and Harry. She’s the only example of such quiet dignity in show-biz. That’s why the media compares her with Great Garbo. Suchitra Sen is my Sir. I’ll explain. During the shooting of Aandhi she started calling me Sir. Everyone in Kolkata calls her Madame. Since I’m her junior I requested her not to call me Sir. But she insisted. (We always converse in Bengali). So I call her Sir and she calls me Sir.”

Linked musical number [won't let me display embedded for some reason]

Cyd:

Photos do not do Cyd Charisse justice, unfortunately, because she is at her hottest while dancing, which she was exquisitely good at. Just go watch her first number in Singin' in the Rain, in that green dress; nothing I could say here will be more convincing that that.

She had amazing legs, and she knew how to use them! You probably know her best from the dream sequence in Singin' In The Rain. She was such a stunning dancer, and all her dance scenes are hard to look away from.

Dancing in the Dark clip:

She's an amazing dancer and my favorite from the period. Here's her and Fred Astaire in the Band Wagon:

I just like a woman who's there to be really incredibly good at dancing.

One of the most talented female dancers in Hollywood history, but what sets her apart from other competitors for that title is that she...umm...well let's be blunt, she was the dancer who put sex into it. The one who said "Hey, you know that A+ leg tone that naturally develops from doing this for a living? Why don't I let people see that? Like at every opportunity?" She reportedly insured her legs for five million dollars after hitting it big, which just goes to show that fame makes you crazy. It should have been ten million.

Arguably the Best female dancer of her time, she supposedly insured her legs for $5 million dollars. Stole the show whenever she had a dance number, even if she went uncredited. Musicals started to go out of fashion so unfortunately she didn't have as many big roles as she should have, but those she did are unforgettable. The Broadway Melody number in Singin' in the Rain - the green dress!

She could pirouette in pointes or tear it up in taps. Fred Astaire called her "beautiful dynamite" and wrote, "That Cyd! When you've danced with her you stay danced with." Gene Kelly partnered with her three times. Her legs were (reportedly) insured for $5 million in 1952 ($57.8 million in 2024 dollars)! Everyone in this poll will be iconic, but for raw physical grace, Cyd is up there with the best.

Legs for days, beautiful dancer in the most iconic scenes of Singin in the Rain. She's glorious. As some guys sung to her in It's Always fair weather, 'baby you knock me out!'

Incredibly, Cyd Charisse only started learning to dance as a rehab exercise to strengthen her body after a childhood bout of polio. She was in high demand as a dance partner, Fred Astaire called her beautiful dynamite and said "When you've danced with her, you stayed danced with". She was one of a few leading ladies to dance with both Astaire and Kelly, declaring them both delicious. Kelly apparently was stronger, while Astaire was more coordinated. She also said her husband would always know who she had been dancing with because Kelly left her bruised, while Astaire didn't leave a mark. She's better known for her dance numbers today, but she was a leading lady in her time! Her Scottish accent in Brigadoon leaves a lot to be desired, but compared to the other actors in the movie, it's almost good. She appeared in The Harvey Girls alongside Judy Garland and Angela Lansbury in her first speaking role, but she really burst onto the scene with Singin' in the Rain and her infamous Broadway Melody Ballet number with Gene Kelly (no one could handle a length of fabric like Cyd Charisse). She was brought in because Debbie Reynolds wasn't really a dancer and Kelly was notoriously a stickler about his Vision. After that she starred opposite Astaire in The Band Wagon, which was a bit of a flop but created some enduringly incredible dance numbers. She went on to star in a number of MGM movies, and was one of the last of the Studio era stars to remain on contract. Since we've got up to 1970, I'm including her opening routine in The Silencers (1966) to show just how long she was making a splash - she's into her 40s here and still a siren:

and of course, the iconic Broadway Melody Ballet -

CRIMSON SHADE

Chapter 06

Error 404 - File Not Found

I know how much it matters to you

I know that you got daddy issues.

- ( The song of the chapter is "Daddy Issues" by The Neighbourhood ft. Syd)

Khushi sits in front of her laptop screen, staring at the empty file that once held her escape. It feels as if the code of her life has been rewritten, lines of her plan deleted without warning.

She managed to recover some of the files from her formatted computer but the most important folder is, of course.

Empty.

Her encrypted freedom was hijacked by an unseen hacker, who tore down her firewall from the inside and rewrote her life's code with a single keystroke.

She feels the walls closing in, like the network is shrinking, suffocating. Every key she types echoes like the ticking of a countdown. Each attempt to trace the hacker, to recover even a shred of her stolen evidence, hits a dead-end. The once familiar language of numbers and commands, her shield, now betrays her, leaving her exposed in the dark web.

She hadn’t dared to keep a physical backup, knowing the risks of his father finding it. Instead, she had placed all her trust in the cloud, a decision she now regretted bitterly.

Because the bastard found it.

Every file, every carefully constructed layer of her work, wiped clean. Hacked and erased by him with surgical precision, as if mocking her for thinking she could ever be one step ahead.

The trap is perfect.

She feels herself sinking into it.

The safety protocols failing one by one.

There's no backdoor, no way to break the code that now binds her, leaving her frozen in a system she thought she could outsmart.

The last few days were tough, frustration gnawing at her ever since that unexpected meeting with Mr. Raizada.

Damn it, Damn him.

She will be lying, if she says she isn't sacred of 'Mr. I-despise-you'.

Actually

He terrifies her.

The man is like an encrypted code filled with blank spaces, written in hidden algorithms that she had no idea how to decipher. So much information, so many answers encrypted within his layers. And she had no idea where to find the correct data sequence to decrypt his mysteries.

Sighing, she shakes her head, as if to remove Mr. Raizada out of her head. She leans back into her pillow, closing her eyes to escape the strain of too much screen time, replaying the events that happened last few days.

After ditching her bodyguards, again, she slipped into the city yesterday to meet one of her college professors, someone brilliant enough to maybe help her trace the hacker. After days of gruelling effort on her own, pushing her limits until her eyes stung and her hands ached, he was her last hope.

She explained the situation as vaguely as possible, hoping he'd see something she missed, some miracle solution that would break her free. But there was none. Just more dead ends.

Finally, after exhausting all options, Khushi decides to wait. Patience will have to be her strategy for now. She plans to rely on the network of resources she has meticulously planted throughout the house...hidden cameras, discreet microphones, and surveillance equipment. Each one is her carefully placed set of eyes and ears, her silent sentinels. All the while, she prays no one discovers them.

If she can't act yet, she can at least watch and listen, biding her time until the perfect moment to strike.

And meanwhile, she hopes for something significant to unfold, something she can use to her advantage, something she can leverage to turn the situation in her favour.

She hacks into the main circuits of the house's CCTV system, gaining full control. Now, every camera, every angle is at her command. She watches the feeds stream through her laptop, monitoring every movement in the house without anyone suspecting her. It's her own invisible web.

Through the CCTV feeds, Khushi scans the sprawling mansion her father built in Delhi after their move from Kolkata, a blend of traditional Indian designs and modern conveniences.

The mansion may look like a symbol of status and power from the outside, but through her feeds, she sees it for what it is.

'A gilded cage'

It is filled with secrets and shadows, a place designed to control both the outside world and the people trapped inside it.

Her father recently had the house repainted. No matter how many fresh coats are added, the crimson will always remain, splattered beneath the pristine white wall.

Unseen but never forgotten.

Nothing in the mansion screams opulence. The carefully curated simplicity is just another layer of control. The wealth is there, woven into the fabric of every room, hidden beneath a veil of restraint, much like her father's carefully maintained image.

Her father cannot openly flaunt his wealth, as any display can draw the scrutiny of the Income Tax Department or the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Though these departments are in his pocket, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

She observes the Entrance hall, with its polished marble floors gleaming under the soft lighting. Beyond the hall, a staircase rises, curving upwards like something out of an old-world palace, its handrails intricately carved from dark mahogany, leading to the upper levels of the house.

The mansion is filled with abstract artwork, some genuine, some likely smuggled. Large French windows overlook manicured lawns, but she knows every one of those windows is equipped with bulletproof glass.

Her father's study is discreetly tucked away behind a solid wooden door on the first floor. It's the heart of his operations.

It was always off-limits to her, a place of secrecy and constant mystery. Despite all her expertise, she can't infiltrate the walls with any of her surveillance tools.

No camera can penetrate those walls.

There's no CCTV as well.

It frustrates her endlessly, knowing that within those walls are the answers she sought. But she isn't entirely powerless. She has managed to plant a small microphone inside a flower vase during one of her rare visits, hoping it would give her some access to the world her father has kept hidden. Now, as she pulls up the feed, she wonders if it's still active.

Her fingers hover over the keyboard as the feed comes to life. It's still active!! Relief washes over her as she adjusts the volume. The faint crackle of static confirms the microphone is picking up sound. She connects her headphones swiftly.

Voices float in the background.

Pulse quickens.

Breathing ceases.

And she listens.

".....what should we do next, sir?" The gruff voice of Mr. Sharma filters through. He is the lifelong bodyguard/right-hand man of her father.

"I said it was a bad idea," her father snaps, his frustration palpable even through the static. "But he was so stubborn... and oh so impatient... he could wait a few days...I had it all planned."

"Mr.Jha picked someone so unprofessional for such a sensitive job," Mr.Sharma commented.

A pause....

A static....

"That lousy motherfucker Rocky botched the entire thing. Soon they will find out, we were behind it." Her father's voice drops lower, almost a growl.

"Why did Mr. Jha act without consulting us? We could have handled it on his behalf, " frustration creeps into Mr. Sharma's voice as well.

"He thought he was avenging his father," her father replies.

"If you don't mind, can I ask something, Sir?" Mr.Sharma asks. Her father might have given him the green signal because a minute later, he continues, "He said he was sure about who killed his father. But how could that be? The person he's talking about was just a boy back then...what, 14 or 15?"

A long, tense silence follows before her father responds, his voice now cold and measured. "We never truly know the monsters people carry inside them."

Mr. Sharma says cautiously, "But how does killing the Wolves' daughter fit into that revenge?"

Another pause. Her breath catches as her father's voice cuts through, sharp and suspicious. "Someone's been feeding him information. He believed he'd killed The Vulture's sister."

Her mouth hangs open, as her heartbeat picks up. Holy fucking shit!!

"But why would his sister be with The Wolves?"

"We had no idea where the girl went after her mother's death, but Mr. Rathore has a nasty habit of using daughters as bargaining chips, doesn't he?" her father's voice drops down.

There was a long pause as if her father was in deep thought. "It's entirely possible he handed the girl over to the wolves to hide her identity or.... worse.. exchanged her with a daughter of the wolves to gain leverage over someone in their family."

"Do you think she really was his sister?"

Khushi leans in closer, her heart racing as she strains to catch her father's reply.

"Let's hope she wasn't." her father responds, his voice steady yet a dark, bitter shadow overpowers his voice. "If she was, the hell will break loose."

"If we're lucky," he continues after a pause, "...no one will ever find out we're behind it. But the way it was handled... so sloppily...it's only a matter of time before the wolves figure it out. It's a direct slap to their face. And if she was indeed his sister, soon both the Eagles and the Wolves will be at our throats.. This is war. They'll demand retribution....You understand what that means, don't you?"

"Yeah," Mr.Sharma responds grimly. "We need to tighten our security. And with Mr. Jha's political campaign underway, we'll have to stay on high alert."

"I'm concerned about the Wolves' new security expert, Adam Marcus. He's a former American Navy SEAL, and people have already started calling him 'the hound dog.' They say he has a special talent for digging up dirt. Keep an eye on him."

"Sir?" Mr. Sharma asks after a brief pause, his gravelly voice cutting through the silence. "Should we alert your daughter?"

"There's no need," her father replies, his tone dismissive yet sharp. "It's not her safety I'm worried about, it's ours. And our reputation is what's at risk right now."

Yes, of course. What's new?

Her father's indifference no longer surprises or bothers her.

Then his father's faint voice crackles in the faint static as if he were talking to himself, "The Eagles won't hurt her..''

"Sorry, Sir, I didn’t quite catch that."

"It's nothing. Do as I say.....Tell..."

A sharp knock on her door jolts Khushi from her thoughts, sending her heart racing. Panic floods her as she hastily shoves her laptop beneath a pillow. She runs a hand through her hair, trying to smooth away her startled expression before standing up.

Mr. Jha's smiling face peeks through the ajar door,

"Khushi," he beams, his voice light, "I hope I'm not disturbing you."

"..umm..Hello, Mr.Jha." Khushi just gives him a tight-lipped smile.

"Khushi, Khushi, Khushi," he says with an almost playful tone as he steps into her room, a package in his hand. He sinks into the chair at her desk. "You look more beautiful than the last time I saw you."

Light filters weakly through the curtains, casting elongated shadows across the floor that seem to shift with the tension. Her room, her sanctuary amidst the chaos of her life started to feel different all of a sudden, taut, like a wire ready to snap. It feels exposed.

So does she.

She's always kept her space simple-a bed neatly tucked in one corner, a sleek desk where she often loses herself in study and a leather couch facing the TV. If she listens closely, it feels like she can hear the silent screams of her furniture.

Her bookshelf in the corner, filled with books she escapes into, stands as a silent witness, but nothing in this space feels safe now. It's as if the walls themselves are holding their breath. Waiting

Just like her.

Khushi stares at Mr. Jha with a blank expression, realizing he's waiting for a response, evident from the expectant look on his face.

"Mr. Jha, you just saw me two days ago," she says dryly.

He smirks, eyes glinting. "You're a beauty I could never tire of praising..... and soon, my goddess, you'll be my wife. Drop this 'Mr. Jha' nonsense. I have a name. Call me Shyam."

Standing, he strides over to her, his fingers wrapping around her hand before she can pull it away. He places the package in her palm. "This is for you."

She resists the strong urge to yank her hand free and step back. But that would be disrespectful and her father would have her head for it. He made it perfectly clear to her.

"Thank you, Mr. Jha."

He sighs, frustration leaking into his eyes. "Come on, open it."

Reluctantly, she pulls apart the wrapping. Inside is a deep red saree with intricate borders, adorned with shimmering stones. She glances at him, confusion flickering across her face.

"We're going on a date tonight," he declares with smug satisfaction.

"Oh..." she falters, unsure of how to respond.

"We'll be joined by some of my party's politicians and their wives. They've been eager to meet you for a while."

She blinks, still processing. The last thing she feels like doing is entertaining those sleazy politicians.

"Wear the saree. You just look divine in red. " Mr.Jha's tone drops down an octave, "Red suits you, but having you all to myself suits you more." His hand lingers on her forearm, sliding up toward her shoulder, then her face. Her stomach tightens, and she bites her lip, wishing he would stop. Her throat tightened as if invisible hands were squeezing it. Every breath she took felt shallow, incomplete, like she was drowning in the very air around her. The urge to pull away, to run, to be anywhere but here, was overwhelming, yet she remained frozen, trapped in the politeness expected of her.

A sharp knock breaks the tension. Mr. Jha steps back, clearly irritated. It's Buaji.

"Mr. Jha, Mr. Gupta is waiting for you in his study."

Khushi exhales deeply, releasing a breath she doesn't realize she is holding as she grips the package with trembling hands. Mr.Jha flashes her a smile that promises this isn't over, before leaving the room with unsettling ease.

The moment the door clicks shut behind him, Khushi feels her entire body sag with relief, her shoulders falling as if unburdened by an invisible force.

The stillness that follows his departure is welcomed.

She savores the quiet.

It is all she has at this moment.

Remembering Asit Sen, the renowned Hindi film comedian of yesteryears, on his 30th death anniversary (18/09/1993).

Born on 13 May 1917, Asit Sen was a multi-talented figure in the Hindi film industry, initially gaining recognition as a film director before becoming a celebrated comedian. Over the course of his four-decade career, from 1953 until his passing on 18 September 1993, Sen directed two films and starred in over 200, leaving an indelible mark on Indian cinema.

Known for his unique acting style, Sen often portrayed characters in positions of authority—be it a police inspector or a landlord—but always with a comedic twist. His slow-paced dialogue delivery and thin voice stood in striking contrast to his imposing physical frame, adding layers of humor and depth to his roles. He was particularly prolific during the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s, sharing the screen with many of the industry's biggest names.

Sen's journey in the film industry began under the mentorship of director-producer Bimal Roy in Kolkata. However, as the Kolkata-based film industry began to decline, Roy, along with his team—including Sen, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Nabendu Ghosh, Kamal Bose, and later Salil Chaudhury—relocated to Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1950. Before fully embracing acting, Sen directed two films for his mentor's production house: "Parivar" in 1956 and "Apradhi Kaun" in 1957.

Today, we pay tribute to Asit Sen, whose contributions to Indian cinema as both a director and a comedian continue to be cherished. His legacy lives on, bringing smiles and laughter to generations.

well i love fake dating so you've of course got me sold on this version of events!

okay, first things first: who is the actress yashasvi throws wine on out of jealousy? can it pretty please be suhana khan? 🤭🤣

wait, i'll explain about suhana:

1. it's getting very confusing to refer to the character as "this actress" or "she" or "another omega" or something in that vein. 😆 i need a name to keep track now 😭😂

2. suhana is the daughter of shah rukh khan, the most famous bollywood actor ever. shah rukh owns the ipl franchise, kolkata knight riders, which as you know, shubman played for during 2020-21. in that time, there were a lot of rumours that shubman and suhana were having an affair. so suhana being the actress works for reasons related to canon and timelines. 🤭😜

3. I really don't like suhana. 😂😂😂 she can't act and she only got her debut because her father is the king of bollywood, that's all.

https://pin.it/4UcSW3gOM

here's an image of suhana for reference. (i hope you start hating her too 🎀😜)

so for now let's assume it's suhana who is the actress. maybe they're at an ipl function? all the players from all teams are invited, and since shah rukh owns kkr, it won't be impossible for suhana to be attending too.

maybe in ficverse, shubman and suhana actually had that fling that tabloids were speculating about? and shubman naturally dumped her after the ipl because that's how he is, nobody can keep his attentions for too long. that pisses suhana off because she's the daughter of the richest and most famous bollywood actor ever, surely any man would consider himself lucky enough to have her? and here shubman has dumped her?! suhana never imagined someone could dump her. she's always wanted shubman back, wants to be the person who finally ties him down, for ego's sake if nothing else.

at the function, even though shubman plays for gujarat now, suhana approaches him. initially she acts like she's catching up with an old friend and her advances aren't too bold. as the evening progresses, suhana's intentions become clearer: she's here to rekindle her romance with shubman.

suhana is too close to shubman throughout the evening: she hugs him for a moment too long when they meet, straightens his blazer for him. she begs him for a dance and grinds against him, sliding her arms around his neck. she sits next to him, her hand resting on his knee or on his thigh. shubman is uncomfortable throughout, but he knows they're in public, there's paparazzi around, plus suhana's father is present too; it won't look good and it won't end well if he pushes suhana off his lap right here, right now.

yashasvi is aware of their circumstances too, but he just can't stop himself when he sees suhana straddle shubman's thighs. something inside him snaps and rage clouds his vision. before he knows what he's doing, he's getting up, seizing a flute of wine, and splashing it all over suhana. the clicks of a thousand cameras going off simultaneously brings him back to earth. he stares in horror at what he did.

wait, now let's make this even more dramatic: if yashasvi throwing wine at suhana wasn't enough, suhana isn't gonna take this sitting down. she's the daughter of the biggest bollywood actor, how dare this two-bit omega spoil her dress and humiliate her like this? she lunges at yashasvi, prepared to claw his face open.

that's when shubman finally intervenes. he steps between yashasvi and the furious actress, grabbing suhana's wrist before she can make contact with yashasvi's cheek. his grip is gentle enough to not hurt her, but firm enough to ensure she can't get away. "don't touch him." he pronounces, his voice eerily steady. boom! cameras going off again!

the gala ends abruptly in hushed whispers as shubman grabs yashasvi and storms off with him. back in the hotel, shubman pesters yashasvi as to what made him react that way. but as you said, yashasvi remains tight-lipped about his reasons, still thinking he's not good enough for shub.

the next day, the bcci summon shub and yash to a meeting and fling a newspaper upon the table. news of their escapades are splashed over the front page of every tabloid in the country. speculations that shubman and yashasvi are secretly dating are rife: that's why yashasvi got so jealous and that's why shubman protected him from suhana, or so the newspapers claim.

the bcci ask them point blank if they're dating. yashasvi says no, and things would have gone south if shubman hadn't slipped his hand into yash's just then, saying. "no baby. we can't hide this any longer. yes, yashasvi is my boyfriend and has been for the last six months. if the world knows, let it know."

because as you said, suhana is planning to press charges of assault against yashasvi. shubman knows the only way to keep yashasvi out of court is to claim him as his omega. if he does that, then the onus is on suhana, bad luck, she shouldn't have flirted with a taken alpha. if the world knew shubman was also single, then no court could've stopped suhana from having her way. also, maybe since suhana comes from a very powerful family, shubman is unsure as to how much sway his own authority will have with the judges? if it was someone else, shubman is confident he could've paid the judges to let Yash off, but suhana is also just as rich and famous as him, if not more, considering how prominent and powerful her dad is. she can probably offer the judges a better deal and convince them to convict yashasvi. so shubman isn't sure this is a battle he can win, which is why he's so keen to keep it from going to court. if it does, he has no faith in his ability to protect yashasvi there.

to make it worse, suhana is also alpha? or at least beta? so yashasvi not only attacked the daughter of one of the biggest celebrities in india, he attacked a sub-gender "superior" to his. there's a huge hue and cry against him, and pretending he's shubman's omega is literally the only way to keep him safe.

as you said, yashasvi is convinced shubman is only keeping the pretense up for the cameras, and once the furore dies down, he won't look twice at him. yash would also feel guilty that his one moment of immaturity and jealousy caused such trouble for shubman. he now feels like a burden on shubman, that the poor alpha has to pretend to be his boyfriend and defend him in the media, all because he couldn't control his temper. due to his horrible past experiences, yashasvi can't believe shubman genuinely cares about him, and thinks he is doing this out of the goodness of his heart, for charity.

the fake dating makes yashasvi fall harder for shubman though. he longs for it to be real, but is too scared to make it so. yashasvi is too scared to admit his feelings for shubman, and shubman is trying to be gentle and respectful, giving yash space to come to terms with everything, hence why he doesn't make a move. so they go about in an endless and frustrating loop of misunderstandings and miscommunication 😂😂 vk is soo done because they're forever cuddling up to each other for the cameras, how has one of them not snapped and snogged the other yet?

who do you think is the alpha who shares their story of fucking yashasvi to the public? okay, again, "this alpha" is very tiresome and confusing, we need a name 😭😭 who do you think it is? an oc? and who do you think tracks him down? suhana again? she definitely has the money, power and other resources necessary to pull off something so nefarious.

maybe suhana believes the ruse shubman and yashasvi are feeding everyone, about dating? but she still won't admit defeat, she wants to punish yashasvi, first for humiliating her, and then for stealing shub from under her nose. she's desperate to have shubman back, because she is too proud to lose to some two-bit nobody of an omega like yashasvi. it's a competition for her now. she does her best to break shubman and yashasvi up, and when all else fails, this is her final scheme.

if it's someone else who pays the alpha to reveal yashasvi's backstory, who is it? would be interesting if it's an omega who orchestrates all of that, as a bit of a contrast to the omegas supporting omegas thing going on. thoughts?

either way, yashasvi would be so panicked after finding out his history is exposed. he would definitely ignore jos, which would break both their hearts. as you said, yashasvi expects shubman to leave in disgust, instead he's right there, putting comforting arms around him, rocking him gently, pressing soothing kisses to his forehead. when yashasvi blabbers something like "i'm so sorry, you must be so disgusted now.." shubman just bends down and kisses him to show him he's not disgusted.

but of course he pulls away later because he thinks he took advantage. that in turn, makes yashasvi think shub was lying when he said he wasn't disgusted. 🤦🏻���♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

how do you think other omegas on the indian team, like, idk hardik and ishan and abhishek react to yashasvi's history? yeah, yashasvi would definitely stop shubman from getting violent with the alpha, but maybe we can have another scene of shubman losing his temper?

ok, maybe as you said now that yashasvi's history is known, there are alphas who believe that he'll bend over for them too. once, another alpha corners yashasvi and tries to have his way with him, when shubman intervenes and beats him up for daring to lay a hand on yash. or if people still think shub/yash are dating, another alpha jokes that shubman should let him have a go on yashasvi too, and shub beats the shit out of that alpha for daring to say that. bonus if it happens after the kiss, when they're avoiding each other.

yashasvi whimpers to shubman, "why did you do that? he was right, i am a slut. why do you care what people call me, or if they're trying to force themselves upon me?" "because I love you!" shub bursts out.

"really?" yashasvi snaps. "if you did, you wouldn't have steered clear of me after kissing me. you are clearly disgusted by me."

shubman almost laughs. "that's what you think? i was keeping my distance because i was afraid i took advantage of you. you were so sad and panicked that day, all crying and shivering. i didn't ask for your explicit consent before kissing you, nor were you in a state of mind to give your consent. that wasn't very gentlemanly of me, to kiss you like that, without your permission."

and yashasvi is left speechless, because how did he get lucky enough to have such a kind and respectful alpha in his life? before shubman can complete his sentence, the omega flings himself at him, kissing him full upon the lips. "i hope that's consent enough." he says shyly.

and that's how they get over the numerous misunderstandings and start actually dating. thoughts?

Yeah, I like a lot of that. No idea who this actress is but let's go with it - I like how it all tracks out. And I like that it's her spearheading the demise of Yash; like a 'If I can't have him I'll destroy you,' and her actions ring true that she'd do something like that.

I'm steering clear of alphas beating up people, honestly. There's a bit plot with Ben (Bristol, eeek) that's going to cover it, but honestly outside of that I don't really want people beating up other people for the sake of it. They are in the public image, remember, and however chivalrous or protective of their omegas it is, it's not a look the boards are really going to support.

However, getting in an alpha's face or enforcing his dominance might not be off the table. Kind of like the reverse of what Yash did for him; seeing him in peril and coming to the rescue. I love Yash yelling at him for interfering, something like "I'm not your problem! Stop making me your problem!" But I think I prefer Shub suddenly realising that no matter how perfect the last six weeks have been, dating Yash, Yash has no idea how he feels.

I'm not sure about Shub avoiding him after the kiss - it's important that that's the first time they do that and I really want that to mean something. Even with all the 'fake dating', Shub never goes there, never kisses Yash, never pushes him to be anymore intimate than holding hands or cuddling, because he doesn't think Yash has a choice in the matter and forcing that would be unfair. But that kiss, it's THE moment. It's the moment they both put their cards on the table and realise they've both been skirting around the whole thing. Shub now understanding Yash's past gets why he's dubious, and does everything to promise him he would never do that, and that he's never felt like this about anyone but Yash.

Maybe the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth comes after Shub defends Yash from the rouge alpha? It's the only time Shub has forced Yash to do anything, but he can't keep going round in circles on this; he needs answers.

Neuroscience of Persuasion: Soft Skills That Win Negotiations

Introduction:

Negotiation is an art and a science, combining strategic planning with interpersonal skills to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes. However, behind the scenes of every successful negotiation lies a powerful yet often overlooked factor—the neuroscience of persuasion. At Course Brother, the Best SOFT Skill Training Institutes in Kolkata where understanding how the brain responds to certain triggers and leveraging soft skills effectively can make the difference between sealing the deal or walking away empty-handed.

This article explores how the principles of neuroscience influence persuasion and the essential soft skills required to master negotiations.

What is the Neuroscience of Persuasion?

The neuroscience of persuasion examines how the human brain processes information, makes decisions, and reacts to persuasive stimuli. Persuasion activates various neural pathways, engaging the emotional, cognitive, and reward-processing centers of the brain. When applied effectively, these principles enhance a negotiator’s ability to influence others.

Key neural mechanisms at play include:

Mirror Neurons: Encourage empathy by mirroring the emotions of others.

Prefrontal Cortex: Responsible for logical thinking and decision-making.

Amygdala: Processes emotions like fear, excitement, and trust.

Dopamine Reward System: Creates positive associations with desirable outcomes.

The Role of Soft Skills in Persuasion

Soft skills—personal attributes that enhance interpersonal interactions—are the linchpin of effective persuasion. In negotiations, these skills allow individuals to connect, build trust, and communicate their ideas compellingly. Some critical soft skills include:

Emotional Intelligence (EI) : Emotional intelligence encompasses self-awareness, empathy, and relationship management. High EI enables negotiators to read emotions, adapt their approach, and create an environment of mutual understanding.

Active Listening : Listening attentively demonstrates respect and helps identify the other party’s needs and concerns, forming the foundation for persuasive arguments.

Non-Verbal Communication : Body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice significantly impact how messages are received. Maintaining open, confident, and positive non-verbal cues fosters trust and engagement.

Adaptability : Flexibility in response to changing circumstances is crucial in negotiations. It ensures that one can pivot strategies or address unexpected objections effectively.

Influence and Storytelling : Persuasive negotiators use storytelling to make their points memorable and relatable, appealing to both logic and emotion.

Neuroscience Principles That Drive Persuasion

The Reciprocity Principle : The human brain is wired to reciprocate kindness or favors. Offering concessions or showing goodwill activates this principle, encouraging the other party to respond similarly.

Social Proof : The brain relies on social validation to make decisions. Highlighting endorsements, testimonials, or previous successes can influence the decision-making process.

Scarcity Effect : The perception of limited resources triggers the brain’s desire to act quickly. Creating urgency or exclusivity increases the perceived value of an offer.

Anchoring Bias : People tend to rely heavily on the first piece of information presented (the anchor) when making decisions. Starting with a strong opening offer can frame the negotiation favorably.

Emotional Appeals : Emotional triggers influence decisions more than logic. Narratives, empathy, and shared values evoke emotional responses, making arguments more compelling.

Loss Aversion : The fear of losing something valuable is a powerful motivator. Framing propositions in terms of potential losses rather than gains often yields better results.

Applying Neuroscience and Soft Skills in Negotiations

Building Rapport and Trust 

Use mirror neurons to establish empathy by aligning your body language and tone with the other party.

Maintain consistent eye contact and express genuine interest in their perspective.

Creating a Connection Through Storytelling 

Share relatable anecdotes that align with the other party’s values or goals.

Highlight the benefits of your proposal through vivid, engaging narratives.

Framing Offers Effectively 

Utilize anchoring bias by presenting a compelling starting offer.

Emphasize scarcity or exclusivity to enhance perceived value.

Addressing Objections with Empathy 

Acknowledge concerns without dismissing them.

Use active listening to clarify objections and offer thoughtful solutions.

Maintaining a Positive Atmosphere 

Avoid aggressive tactics that activate the amygdala’s fight-or-flight response.

Use humor, encouragement, and positive reinforcement to create a collaborative environment.

Strategies for Developing Persuasive Soft Skills

To master the neuroscience of persuasion, individuals must hone their soft skills through deliberate practice and expert guidance. Here’s how:

Participate in Role-Playing Scenarios : Practice negotiation simulations that mirror real-life situations. This allows individuals to experiment with different techniques and receive feedback.

Engage in Emotional Intelligence Training : Develop self-awareness, empathy, and interpersonal skills to improve emotional intelligence.

Work on Non-Verbal Communication : Record mock negotiations to analyze body language, gestures, and tone, ensuring alignment with verbal communication.

Learn to Tell Compelling Stories : Study the art of storytelling to craft narratives that resonate emotionally and logically.

Study Negotiation Frameworks : Familiarize yourself with proven frameworks like BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement) to approach negotiations strategically.

The Role of Expert Coaching in Developing Persuasive Negotiators

Expert-led training programs are instrumental in enhancing negotiation skills by combining neuroscience principles with practical techniques. Here’s how these programs help:

Personalized Feedback : Trainers identify individual strengths and areas for improvement, tailoring programs to specific needs.

Real-World Application : Participants engage in simulations and case studies, ensuring they can apply learned skills in real-world scenarios.

Interactive Learning : Workshops and group activities encourage collaborative learning, fostering a deeper understanding of negotiation dynamics.

Continual Development : Ongoing support and resources ensure that participants can refine their skills long after completing the program.

Measuring the Impact of Persuasion Skills on Negotiation Outcomes

Improved Deal Closure Rates : Skilled negotiators are more likely to reach agreements that satisfy all parties.

Stronger Relationships : Effective persuasion fosters trust and long-term professional relationships.

Enhanced Confidence : Mastering negotiation skills boosts self-assurance, enabling professionals to tackle high-stakes discussions.

Increased Organizational Success : Persuasive negotiators contribute to better contracts, partnerships, and team dynamics, driving overall success.

Future Trends in Neuroscience and Negotiation

As neuroscience research advances, its applications in negotiation will continue to grow. Future trends may include:

AI-Powered Training : Virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) could offer personalized negotiation training, simulating realistic scenarios and providing instant feedback.

Data-Driven Insights : Neuroimaging and biometric tools could analyze participants’ reactions during negotiations, offering deeper insights into behavior and decision-making.

Focus on Diversity and Inclusion : As workplaces become more diverse, negotiation training will emphasize cultural sensitivity and inclusive communication.

Blending Psychology and Neuroscience : Combining psychological principles with neuroscience will lead to more holistic training approaches.

Conclusion

Mastering the neuroscience of persuasion and cultivating advanced soft skills is essential for winning negotiations. At Course Brother, the Top soft skill training in kolkata where by understanding how the brain responds to stimuli and applying techniques like active listening, storytelling, and emotional intelligence, negotiators can achieve remarkable results. Whether it’s sealing a business deal, resolving conflicts, or fostering collaboration, the power of persuasion lies in the ability to connect, inspire, and influence effectively. With expert training and consistent practice, anyone can become a skilled negotiator capable of driving success in today’s dynamic professional landscape.
