THE BEST FILMS IN ACTION, DRAMA, HORROR, AND MORE
EXPERTLY CURATED BY THE COS STAFF
by Justin Gerber
on May 13, 2015, 1:00am
George Lucas couldn't do it. Steven Spielberg couldn't do it. Ridley Scott couldn't do it. None of the aforementioned filmmakers were able to successfully come back to the franchises they helped launch. Why would George Miller be any different? The Australian director hadn't made a live-action movie since the dark and unjustly underrated Babe: Pig in the City and had not made an action film since Tina Turner ruled Bartertown in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome 30 years ago. Certain styles of filmmaking are no longer approachable for some directors, and why should it be any different for the director of Happy Feet 1 and 2?
It is different. Not only has George Miller made an effective return to the wasteland of the Mad Max universe with Mad Max: Fury Road, he has surpassed most action films released … well … ever. Here is a movie that is basically one long chase, interspersed with just enough dialogue and backstory to build sympathetic characters as they crash their way through an endless desert. It's a story of redemption for not only its titular character, but a number of people he encounters throughout. The action is relentless and eye-popping to say the very least, but what is most surprising of all is the use of the women vs. men in the story. If anyone predicted that a Mad Max film with very little dialogue written by three men could make a feminist statement, you win the prize.
The story of how Fury Road came to be has become well known over the past few months, but for a brief recap: Miller began thinking about his iconic character in the late '90s, with plans to make Fury Road with the original Max, Mel Gibson. The Australian economy took a turn, 9/11 happened, crazy Mel emerged from the shadows of angry phone calls and traffic violations, and Miller went off to win an Oscar for Happy Feet. But Miller would not be denied his return. After a lengthy production process (including a year delay thanks to grass where the story demanded none and reshoots), the film is finally making its way to cinemas. You don't need to see earlier Mad Max films to enjoy Fury Road, but you need to see Fury Road.
(Read: M is for Mad: A Guide to Mad Max)
We meet this Max (now played by Tom Hardy, in a loose reimagining of the character) as he is being chased down by Immortan Joe's army of War Boys. Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne, who played the villain Toecutter in Mad Max) is the ruler of a civilization that depends on him for water and survival. He is a man who uses obese women to pump out breast milk as a farmer would use cows, holds imprisoned men as "blood bags" for the sick, and keeps his Five Wives (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Zoë Kravitz, Riley Keough, Courtney Eaton, Abbey Lee) as prisoners to breed new offspring. He is surrounded by the aforementioned War Boys, a band of sick, bald, and pale men raised to believe the following: "I live. I die. I live again!" Nicholas Hoult plays way against type as one of these Boys, energetic and crazed as he screams his already oft-quoted line, "What a lovely day!"
Furiosa (Charlize Theron), one of Joe's head lieutenants, has escaped with the Five Mothers and is headed towards a salvation far, far away. A chase ensues, which includes an imprisoned Max, and the madness of the chase is underway. It is in the chase that we are reminded of Miller's imagination. The War Boys treat steering wheels like sacred religious objects. Vehicles are put together with a mutated sense of craftsmanship: porcupine-like exteriors, tractor claws, buzz saws, and in one especially memorable sequence, high poles to swing back and forth on. Motorcycles fly over moving trucks. Characters walk atop and out of moving vehicles as though they're taking a walk in the park, such is the life they lead. Much of this came to be thanks to impressive wire work and stunt choreography courtesy of Guy Norris. While CGI is used when needed (to great effect during a vicious sandstorm), it is Miller's insistence upon practical special effects that leads to the action exploding off the screen. And special thanks to cinematographer John Seale for coming out of retirement, making the sky impossibly blue above the dead and barren world below.
Little dialogue offers little problem for the characters in Fury Road. Hardy makes the role of Max his own by making him a desperate creature condemned to a guilt-ridden hell who finds himself on a road to redemption. Meeting him there is Theron, whose portrayal of Furiosa will bring delight to filmgoers who believe women are getting short shrift in recent cinematic offerings. The movie is more about Furiosa and the young women she is rescuing than it is about Max, and that's okay. For the first time in the franchise, the story isn't being relayed to us by a feral boy who grew to be a leader, or a young woman who is a leader of children, all regaling us with the triumphs and tragedies of the road warrior, Max. It is Max himself who introduces us to this story. He is as much an observer as he is a champion.
(Editorial: Any Male Outrage Over Mad Max: Fury Road is Ridiculous)
Through his eyes we see women breaking free from their shackles, both literally and figuratively, as they defy Joe's cry of "That's my property" by accelerating away from him with a cold look. After a frightening demand from a male character, one wife tells another, "You don't have to just because he says so." Then there is the mighty Furiosa, who Max actually yields his gun to at one point after failing to hit a target. As for speech, Max is gagged for nearly 45 minutes before speaking a word to anyone, and even then he has been broken down to a man who grunts. As the action revvs up, it is Furiosa he must depend on and not the other way around. In roles that could have remained silent while Max and Furiosa do all the heavy lifting, each of the Five Wives has her own defining characteristic, but I'll leave that to you to discover. Who runs the world? Girls.
As for the action, what can be said? Miller's eye hasn't diminished in the years since Thunderdome. If anything, his vision is better than ever. He raised the bar with the final chase scene in The Road Warrior and has done so again in 2015 with Mad Max: Fury Road. To say it's better than expected is a slight upon this remarkably fresh take on decades-old material. There is little debate as to just who Mad Max really is. It isn't Mel Gibson, and it isn't even Tom Hardy. It's George Miller.

CSotD: Dropping the Masks
It may seem odd to begin a discussion of the end of America with today's Buckets (AMS), but what may have struck Greg Cravens as ironic exaggeration a few weeks ago has become chillingly relevant, now that Donald Trump has finally declared his contempt for the US Constitution and the rule of law.
I doubt this was ever intended to be ha-ha funny, but it would be more amusing if it weren't such a solid parody of what's going on in the American electorate.
I suppose it's reasonable that people thought electing a semi-literate reality show star president was acceptable, perhaps remembering that Ronald Reagan had begun as an actor, and George Murphy seemed a competent enough governor (no, senator — see comments).
But, as Clay Bennett (CTFP) suggests, the notion that Herschel Walker is even marginally qualified to be town mayor, never mind a US Senator, makes little Eddie Bucket look like Alexis de Tocqueville.
Juxtaposition of the Day
(Pearls Before Swine — AMS)
(David Horsey)
The death of local newspapers is an issue, and, contrary to the joke in Pearls, they can't bully you into subscribing.
There's a whole book — or at least a whole rant — in what happened to local newspapers, and it certainly focuses, as Horsey contends, on a loss of advertising combined with takeovers by Wall Street investors with no interest in the product, only the profits.
Part of the ad revenue issue was inevitable, because national product ads moved from local papers to television, and the ease with which car dealers and Realtors could create their own sales booklets made them less dependent on the local paper, even before the papers' head-in-the-sand response to Craigs List killed their classifieds and those aforementioned auto and real estate people created their own websites.
Even so, local journalism can be, if not wildly profitable, at least sustainable, and we've seen examples: I support my public radio station as well as a local aggregator, and we've also got a statewide non-profit that does original reporting.
It's not impossible, unless you've got distant stock swappers demanding dividends that a small paper can't possibly generate.
Subscribing to the local paper used to be part of becoming an adult, like putting the utilities in your own name and mowing the lawn with some regularity.
Well, that was then and this is now and how it happened is less critical than what it means.
Jen Sorensen notes the shift to a hard right that has also taken place, such that not only does what media remains seem dominated by extremists but that the product of their hostile world view has spilled over into the streets and is impacting our educational systems.
The worst part of this is that my one quibble is with her final panel, because I'm not hearing any calls for young people to even consider points of view beyond the One Accepted Truth.
There is truth, however, and there is even justice, and, while Ann Telnaes notes that the latest fish to be hooked are small fry, there are some lunkers who also deserve to be reeled in.
She's enigmatic about the potential, but that's reasonable, because, while we know they are there, and we may have some faith in Merrick Garland's slow-and-steady approach — after all, nobody he's actually gone after has escaped — there is a larger problem, which is that we have a substantial portion of the population who don't accept facts and reality.
We scoffed at Kellyanne Conway's absurd notion of "alternative facts," back when she was promoting Trump's ridiculous lie about the size of his inaugural crowd.
Not only was the idea of "alternative facts" oxymoronic, but we could see from photographs that there was nowhere near the number of people present that he claimed.
You didn't have to think, or believe. You just had to be able to count.
But they counted the votes in 2020 and Trump insisted it was a lie, and now they've counted the 2022 votes and Charlie Kirk insists that it's a lie.
It may be one thing to have people believe the nonsensical ravings of an admittedly talented and charismatic salesman, but who is this little weasel that anyone should accept his counterfactual, illogical view of reality?
You don't have to think, or believe. You just have to be able to count, and some 49% of voters not only accept a flat-earth view of reality but voted to endorse it in November.
Trump's response is not to be grateful for ill-earned victories but, rather, to double down and stop pretending to have any interest in law and order. A faint nod to our great Founders and now let's tear up the Constitution and install Dear Leader, based on alternative facts in a world of alternative reality.
Trump's call to overturn Constitutional government did not go unheard, but while Google News was full of reporting on the astonishing declaration, I saw nothing from Fox News about it, and a specific search of their site this morning provided not a word.
By the time you see this, that may have changed, but they certainly weren't leaping to cover it, while today's NY Post is exulting over the Musk-sponsored "revelation" that, in the course of the 2020 campaign, the Biden campaign asked Twitter to take down photographs of Hunter Biden's penis, and is highlighting an attack on Tish James, who is prosecuting Trump's financial empire.
Point being that, even if Garland goes after those big fish not just with hook-and-line but with gaffs, spearguns and harpoons, landing them will simply be portrayed to the slavering mob as another example of jackboots and corruption on the part of a government that does not deserve to exist.
You may be comforted that 51% of people like our Constitutional system and want to preserve it, and, in a democracy, that is sufficient to carry the day.
Until you factor in the virulence and violence that hang over that 49%, the deplorables who have been described, yes, as clowns, but as "clowns with flamethrowers."
We opened with a comic rather than a political cartoon, and this Pros & Cons (KFS) seems a reasonable way to close, while we wait for the editorial cartoonists — and the rest of us — to catch up.

Two comments: the right wing bias is just the pendulum swinging the other way. Last I heard there are 5 major companies that own the news outlets of the nation. I don't think they're all conservative. Secondly, as a conservative in Arizona, I left the republican circus years ago. Even the people I considered sane have joined the clowns. The republican party has had been in the majority since the early 70's. Yet every election they run on how bad the state is and what they will do to improve it. They lost, suck it up buttercup. At least Masters didn't refute his loss to Mark Kelly.

As progressives in Scarizona (until we can escape alive), we see the rtwingnut fanatics carrying guns into grocery stores and threatening voters at election drop boxes, shouting at us who wear masks that we are traitors. Filing frivolous lawsuits whenever their feelings are hurt. Our local newspaper is so insipid it is only suitable for wrapping fish. We try to make positive contributions to our community in spite of the prevailing onslaught of hateful rtwingnut behavior. It is about as effective as shoveling sand into the sea.
Mike Corrado says:
One fascist tactic in Italy in the seventies was a lot like that of the patient in "Pros & Cons." The idea was to create enough fear and uncertainty in the citizenry that they would welcome a strong leader who countenanced no opposition. It was call the "strategy of tension," and may have had some support from the U.S.

Sri Lanka T20 proves a hoax as big guns go missing
By Callistus Davy
Tournament director Sajith Fernando claims matches were a success as one team uses nine bowlers to bowl 20 overs :
Despite it turning out to be one of the most disputable Leagues in the country, Sri Lanka Cricket is over-the-moon that the on-going SLC T20 domestic tournament has produced the desired outcome by way of playing standards and patronage.
The downgraded tournament, an alternative to an event that was to feature international players but could not be held due to the absence of an elected administration, was without three top players, Angelo Mathews, Thisara Perera and Kusal Perera, for four of the six matches ahead of today's final. Mathews the captain of the Kandy team and Thisara Perera the captain of the Dambulla team launched the tournament and disappeared from the scene with the former ending up in Australia for medical treatment and the latter "inflicted with a swelling" at a practice session on the eve of the tournament according to its director Sajith Fernando. The third player Kusal Perera left for England to talk business over a compensation payment following a dubious doping case that implicated him four years ago.
But Fernando claimed the matches had the expected results although he would have liked to have a fifth team in the fray which was not possible under the circumstances.
"I think the results have been beyond our expectations", said Fernando. "It met the expectations of players, coaches, selectors, spectators and managers and the competitiveness was brilliant".
But Sri Lanka Cricket, or what is left of its administration which is now under a so-called Competent Authority, will not be able to hide the fact the tournament neither had the hardcore players on show nor enabled the new faces to prove anything of themselves.
Pre-tournament hype suggested the young hopefuls would have the chance of leaning about big-time demands by playing alongside the seniors. At one match Dambulla used up as many as nine bowlers to send down their 20 overs against Kandy in the absence of Thisara Perera as they defended 202 and won by 18 runs with batsman Dhanushka Gunathilaka opening the bowling.
International fast bowler Suranga Lakmal the captain of the Galle team played the first two games and moved out as did the skipper of the Colombo team and Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal who played only in the first four matches and aggregated just 71 runs.
Kusal Mendis produced a mere 81 runs in four games while Niroshan Dickwella had a scavenging 24 runs from four games and veteran fast bowler Lasith Malinga played more as a spent-force waiting to hang up his balls and boots than a fast bowler attempting a return to the Sri Lanka team. He conceded11 wides bowling 24 overs to take just three scalps in six matches for his Kandy team.

#AFI, #AFIFEST, Hollywood
The AFI FEST Interview: Peter Bogdanovich on Orson Welles' CITIZEN KANE
November 10, 2016 HollywoodGlee Leave a comment
Ranked at the top of AFI's list of the greatest films of all time, Orson Welles' portrait of newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane (a thinly veiled stand-in for William Randolph Hearst) is brilliant, blistering and beautiful. The story moves through the tragedies and triumphs of Kane's life, from a happy childhood in snowy Colorado cut short; to a towering ascendance in the newspaper industry; a dysfunctional marriage with a tone-deaf wife he tries desperately to mold into a great opera singer; and a cloistered existence in his palatial home, Xanadu. Welles' superb cast, many from his own Mercury Theatre, is made up of some of the most vibrant stars of the 1940s, including Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead, Everett Sloane and, of course, Welles himself, who perfectly captures the aging Kane with a deft mix of sensitivity and ferocity. Gregg Toland's innovative cinematography is now the stuff of legend, putting the deep focus technique on the map with shot after shot of crisply layered foreground and background images. If this is your first or 100th time seeing this landmark film, make sure to catch it at AFI FEST 2016 in a restored DCP, courtesy of Warner Bros. Classics.
The screening will be followed by an AFI Master Class with Welles expert Peter Bogdanovich, who spoke to AFI about CITIZEN KANE ahead of AFI FEST.
AFI: CITIZEN KANE turns 75 this year. Why do we still talk about it today?
Peter Bogdanovich: It's a landmark film, not just Orson Welles' best film but a masterpiece. It was a masterpiece then in 1941 and still is. It's a brilliant symphony, and is exciting to watch. Everything about it is dynamic, and that very dynamism is the camouflage for the extremely sad story Welles tells. You're not moved to tears by CITIZEN KANE really, except as a kind of thrillingly done film.
AFI: What was it like seeing the film for the first time, in 1955?
PB: I was 16, and I was quite bowled over by it. I thought it was brilliant. I've seen it, I think, 10 or 12 times since then. I saw it the other day on television briefly. You can't resist it. Everything about it is brilliant. The performances are amazing, and Orson himself, his performance is extraordinary. People spend so much time talking about the direction that they don't notice how brilliant that performance is. It was everybody's first film, which makes it even more extraordinary. It's amazing to realize that all those people had never made a movie before.
AFI: Would you say that much of contemporary cinema is indebted to the style and direction of CITIZEN KANE?
PB: It's funny because it's not that extraordinary in terms of the technique. He used a pretty simple technique in many ways. A lot of long takes. The scene goes on, and you don't notice how long it goes without a cut. That wasn't that common, though a lot of filmmakers in that period did do shots like that, but not to the degree that Orson did. Years later, I said to him, "What do you think is the difference between doing a scene in one shot or in many cuts?" He said, "Well, we used to say that's what distinguished the men from the boys." The whole thing, the construction of the story, the flashback structure — it wasn't any one thing that was unusual. It was the whole production. It's a very depressing story. There's not a shred of hope at the end. It's all very downbeat, but the style of the film, the way he made it, the overlapping dialogue, the flashback structure, some surprising camera angles — the whole thing made a tremendous impression if you were sensitive to what he was doing.
AFI: How was the film received in 1941, versus years later when you first saw it?
It got great reviews in its original release, except in The New York Times. [Critic] Bosley Crowther didn't care for it much. He thought the central character was shallow. It couldn't play in a lot of theaters because the Hearst organization had blacklisted it. So, as Orson said, they couldn't make money if they couldn't get a theater. That's why it failed. Orson suggested they open it in tents around the country. It was not shown for many years, but it was brought back to New York in 1955, to a small art house, and that's where I first saw it. That's when it started to gain this reputation.
READ MORE: 15 Facts About Orson Welles' CITIZEN KANE — America's Greatest Film Turns 75
AFI: You had a close relationship with Welles for many years. How did he feel about the film?
PB: He didn't want to talk about it much. Orson did THE DAVID FROST SHOW [as guest host] in 1970 and I was there. He had a guest, [author] Norman Mailer, and after the show they went to Frankie and Johnnie's in Manhattan and I joined them for dinner. We sat down and Norman said to Orson, "There's a great shot in CITIZEN KANE…" and Orson said, "Oh, no, Norman, not CITIZEN KANE." Norman looked perplexed for a minute and then said, "Oh, yeah, I guess it's like me and 'The Naked and the Dead,'" meaning that both Norman and Orson were plagued by the notoriety of their first effort. It was the only picture that anybody ever talked to him about, and he was irritated about it because he'd made other pictures that nobody saw. It depressed him actually. It was a struggle to get him to talk about KANE. Reluctantly he talked about it; I would trick him into it sometimes.
AFI: When Welles began CITIZEN KANE, did he know he was making a masterpiece?
PB: I couldn't say. I think he thought he was making a pretty good picture. The thing about CITIZEN KANE is it's very cold, and there are moments that are touching, but they're few and far between. It's not an emotional picture. KANE is relentlessly negative, but what makes it exciting is the way it's told, and the way it's acted and the way it's done, really. It's almost as though he's saying that it's only through art that we can really survive. The artistry of the picture is what gives it its lift, because if you examine the story, it's pretty bleak.
AFI: How has CITIZEN KANE influenced your own seminal work?
PB: I can't say I was influenced by CITIZEN KANE directly. I was influenced by Orson's thinking, and things he said to me. But I wasn't particularly influenced by the film. I wasn't influenced by the technique of it as much as by the youthful spirit of it. I was influenced by a general feeling of fearlessness. CITIZEN KANE was nominated for Best Picture, but what won was HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY by John Ford, an emotional film about the dissolution of a family. CITIZEN KANE is a cold film about the dissolution and tragedy of a man who loses everything, including his soul.
CITIZEN KANE screens AFI FEST on Sunday, November 13, at 1:30 p.m.

Reynolds joins an already exciting roster at this year's festival, including previously announced appearances by director John Singleton for the 25th anniversary screening of his coming-of-age classic Boyz N The Hood (1991), Carl Reiner with an extended conversation and screening of Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982) Elliott Gould with screenings of his Golden Globe nominated performance in M*A*S*H (1970), The Long Goodbye (1973) and Eva Marie Saint who will be on hand to introduce a screening of the political comedy The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Coming (1966). Actor Stacy Keach will be discussing John Huston's gritty look at the world of small-time boxing in Fat City (1972) and French actress Anna Karina will be introducing Band of Outsiders (1964), Jean-Luc Godard's riff on gangster films. Tickets and passes.

About Burt Reynolds
Burt Reynolds is an Academy Award nominated and Golden Globe winning actor and director. In addition to receiving an Oscar nomination and winning the Golden Globe Award for Boogie Nights (1997), Reynolds was also honored by The New York Film Critics, The Los Angeles Film Critics, The Chicago Film Critics and The National Society of Film Critics with Best Supporting Actor awards for his memorable role in that film. Some of his more recent film works include Hamlet & Hutch (2014), Elbow Grease (2015), The Shadow Fighter (2016) and the web series Hitting The Brakes, debuting this spring.
His feature films include Deliverance (1972), The Longest Yard (1974), Gator (1976), Hooper (1978), The End (1978), Starting Over (1979), Sharky's Machine (1981), Breaking In (1989) and, of course, Smokey and the Bandit (1977). He also directed four feature films.
Reynolds has also enjoyed an auspicious career on television, as an actor, director and producer. Among his finest endeavors in this medium is the hit series Evening Shade (as star, executive producer and, more often than not, director). For this series, he won his ninth People's Choice Award as Favorite Male Performer in a New Television Series, the 1991 Emmy Award for Best Performance in a Comedy and the Golden Globe Award for the same category. His additional television credits include Riverboat, Gunsmoke, Hawk, Dan August and B. L. Stryker. Additionally, he hosted the Academy Awards Telecast, The Tonight Show, Saturday Night Live and a series of specials titled Burt Reynolds' Conversation With. He also starred in, directed and produced the CBS television movie The Man from Left Field (1993). He also directed and starred in TNT's most ambitious project: Hard Time, a 6-hour movie thriller trilogy.
Reynolds made his Broadway debut in Look, We've Come Through with director Jose Quintero. In addition, he has directed eight productions, and starred in two, at the Jupiter Theatre, which he founded in Jupiter, Florida. He also appears in his one-man show An Evening with Burt Reynolds.
His numerous achievements have been recognized by being named America's Favorite All Around Motion Picture Actor (People's Choice Award) for a record six consecutive years; the Most Popular Star for five years running; Star of the Year (National Association of Theatre Owners); and # 1 Box Office Star for five years in a row, still an unmatched record.
Burt Reynolds commitment to his profession and devotion to education can perhaps be best exemplified by the program he created to give college students scholastic credit and wages for their work while obtaining an education at the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film & Theatre located in Tequesta, Florida.
Reynolds created a chair at Florida State University by donating generous endowments as well as Asolo Theatre in Sarasota, Florida. His memoir But Enough About Me reached The New York Times Best Seller List just after publication and he received the prestigious "Children at Heart Award," for his humanitarian efforts benefiting and aiding the children of Chernobyl. In September 2015 he was the inaugural recipient of the Richard Farnsworth Diamond Lifetime Achievement Award from the Stuntmen's Association of Motion Pictures, calling it "better than an Oscar!"

Red Cedar Balls with untreated cedar. 10 pieces in a bag. 2.5cm diameter. Made in Germany by Redecker.
American red cedar has a fragrant aroma that is pleasing to people but repels moths. Therefore, you can keep your clothes moth-free with cedar wood products.
Place 2 – 5 cedar pieces per wardrobe unit, in such a way that they are not covered by clothes. In drawers or storage compartments, 2 pieces will be adequate.
Next, place the cedar items on a piece of paper to protect the clothing from the oils in the cedar. When the scent begins to fade, rough the wood slightly with sandpaper. This type of moth protection is absolutely environmentally friendly, since American red cedar is not an endangered plant cultivated under governmental regulations.
Even natural, biological agents to fight moths and other pests fall under the biocide guidelines according to a EU directive, and must be labelled with warnings. All red cedar products that fall under this directive are marked with an asterisk.

Removing 'Dis' From Her Ability, Raziaben From Ahmedabad Stood Up For Her Family's Basic Requirements And Started Earning
Written by Aastha Ahuja , Edited by Sonia Bhaskar | Updated: January 21, 2019 19:30 IST
Delhi:
"I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination", Jimmy Dean, an American singer had said this and it is apt for Raziaben Mehboobbhai Pinjara from the Dholka district of Ahmedabad.
39-year-old Raziaben, a physically challenged woman, a homemaker, and a mother of three (a boy and two daughters) found it difficult to run her household. Raziaben's husband Mehboobbhai Pinjara works as a driver, but his earnings were not enough to sustain a family of five. The financial crisis were so severe that despite the physical disability, Raziaben and her family had to rent a room on a second floor, reason being, less room rent.

Determined to change the life of Pinjara family and fulfill family's day to day basic needs, Raziaben decided to acquire sewing skills and start working. For the same, she enrolled herself in USHA Silai School in October 2015. As part of USHA Silai School month long programme, Raziaben learned sewing and embroidery and ended up opening her own silai school in the same year.
Today, with her own silai school, Raziaben manages to earn Rs. 6,000 every month. The deteriorating condition of her family has been stemmed. Now, Raziaben's life not only revolves around managing household chores, but also her own silai school. Till date, she has trained 10 women and is currently taking a class of four in her school.
After her regular household duties are over, she does zari work. In the afternoon, she takes classes and works on the orders. Raziaben's daughters too do zari and sewing work. Along with this, they support their mother by taking orders from across the village.
Raziaben's dream turned into a reality when she got an opportunity to work along with 31 USHA Silai School women to produce a clothing line that was launched at Lakme Fashion Week 2018. Having achieved this, she looks forward to train more and more people and open her own tailoring shop.
