Winner Announcement – Ariel #ShareTheLoad activity

Achieving gender equality is no mean feat, and efforts to make sure that the world is a fair and equal place for both genders will have to go on for a long time. As it is with all good things, gender equality is a change that will have to start from home and move outwards, which is what BlogAdda and Ariel attempted with the #ShareTheLoad campaign. Young and impressionable minds are the best bet when it comes to seeding change, an idea that was central to this activity which asked bloggers to write about how to take the message of #ShareTheLoad to the next generation by sharing the best ways in which to instill values of gender equality in households in children’s minds. The activity highlighted some crucial points regarding household chores and stereotypes surrounding them. And now it’s time to announce the winners of the Ariel #ShareTheLoad activity!

Buzzing Blogosphere: Udta Punjab – Snipping Wings of Creativity

“We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced.” Years ago Malala’s quote pierced through the deadly silences that have found their way into India too. Assembly Elections in Punjab are just eight months away and the government, already under performance anxiety, has been stung by yet another catastrophe – the upcoming release of Udta Punjab. While the Bombay High Court has ordered the CBFC to issue it a fresh certificate with just one cut, the controversy has opened a can of worms for CBFC Chief Pahlaj Nihalani and put him on the target list of most of the film industry, which feels that freedom of expression is being threatened in the country. You will get to enjoy the movie on 17th June at a theatre near you, but before that, take a look at what bloggers feel about the censorship vs certification debate.

#AddaTales – ‘And you thought dragons didn’t exist’

#AddaTales put the words on fire bringing out the mythical dragon to life, this Saturday. We all grew up listening to the most mystifying dragon stories, completely awestruck by the power of the magical creature. Sadly, we just see aeroplanes flying over us, and dragons are limited to our imagination and movie screens. With today’s #AddaTales prompt: ‘And you thought dragons didn’t exist’, the fearsome creature came alive, breathing fire through Twitter. As was expected, we all were astounded by the end result – a spine chilling collaboration where thoughts spread their scaly wings and took flight.
