Nemo #atozchallenge




Captain Nemo in 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'.

Played by Naseeruddin Shah, it was one of my favorite magic and supernatural movies. I don't know if I would still like the movie, but years back it was a very interesting watch. Everything paranormal or extraordinary fascinated me to no end.

"Captain Nemo (Prince Dakkar) is a pirate. A scientific genius who roams the depths of the sea in his submarine, the Nautilus, which he helped build on a deserted island. Nemo tries to project a stern, controlled confidence, but he is driven by a thirst for vengeance, and wracked by remorse over the deaths of his crew."


P.S: Sorry for making it so short. A to Z challenge is becoming tough for me to manage. But I'll survive. Tomorrow I have a child character, in her early teens. Just one hint, she's Spanish, created by a very famous Spanish author. The movie adaptation is the one of the most widely watched and appreciated spanish movie. :)

Queeristan by Parmesh Sahani

  Queeristan (Amazon Link) Thanks to Audible Free Trial I listened to this amazing non-fiction on LGBTQ inclusion in Indian workplaces. Author Parmesh Sahani identifies as gay Indian, working closely with Godrej higher management and employees for years to create an inclusive workplace, both legally and in spirit. This book is a result of those years of experience, research, collaboration with individuals from difference spectrum of the society and organizations who has successfully transitioned into a queer friendly one.   Indian history is inclusive. From the Khajuraho temple architectures, to Konark to the Rig Veda, there is existing proofs even 2000 years ago of Indian inclusiveness of queer. It’s the draconian British law that criminalised it, which was scraped in 2009, came into effect once again following a sad judgement in 2013 and eventually was scraped off for good in 2018. I am in awe of the lawyers who fought this legal battle- colleagues and partners – Arundhati Katju
