Book excerpt: How Aparna Sen's cinema is localised in Bengali culture but also universal
A central influence in Aparna Sen's life perhaps has been that of her father, the celebrated critic and filmmaker Chidananda Dasgupta, whose writings on cinema were not only seminal but also remain influential in the world of film criticism in India. One of her father's closest friends was Satyajit Ray, with whom Dasgupta would go on to found the Calcutta Film Society in 1947. Ray himself famously forged a new path in filmmaking and radicalized Bengali cinema's images, symbols and language. The trio of Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak and Mrinal Sen undoubtedly influenced Aparna's choice to become not only a filmmaker but also one with a distinct cinematic language. Her years as an actor no doubt helped hone her skills in directing films, making it easier for her to understand when an actor had problems with certain movements or lines. Says Sen: 'It also helped me in writing dialogue, by acting lines out in my head before I actually wrote anything down. Of Ray's cinema, Chidananda Dasgupta wrote, '…neither in content nor in style did Ray's films owe anything at all to Bengali, indeed Indian, cinema traditions…' Arguably, then, Ray ushered in another cinematic tradition that combined the modern with the traditional, the global with the local, which Aparna undoubtedly drew upon. Aparna says, 'It is very difficult not to be influenced by Ray in the same way that writers were influenced by Tagore. At that time, he was like a huge banyan tree. We had come from the same kind of background – enlightened liberal Brahmo stock.' Her unique cinematic medium – localized in high Bengali culture, but at the same time intelligible to a global audience – was perhaps constructed by following in the footsteps of her two mentors, the two Bengali giants Tagore and Ray. In Aparna Sen's cinema, the women are categorized by specificities (almost granting them a real life) such as class positions and family backgrounds, almost always portraying various intimate interpersonal relationships. This can be seen through a close examination of the women in her various films – Miss Stoneham in 36 Chowringhee Lane, Meenakshi Iyer in Mr. and Mrs. Iyer, the eponymous character in Parama, Meethi in 15 Park Avenue, to name just a few. Not being didactic, Sen's films do not offer forced happy closures for her women. Again, there are no binaries in terms of representation of women. The women are probed until their inner beings shine through. At the time that Aparna was making her presence felt, Bengali commercial cinema was at an all-time low. Greatly influenced by the Bombay template which basically meant the 'angry young man' phenomenon, it came to imbue the same with a unique local feel. In the 1980s and 1990s, there was a complete departure from social reality into the realm of folk and fantasy. However, it was Aparna Sen and later Rituparno Ghosh who drew the middle class back to the theatres with their brand of cinema. With Parama and later the other films, Sen came to raise some important questions about gender, sexuality, marriage and motherhood, and what these terms meant to the middle class. Aparna's cinema, though rooted in the Ray-Ghatak-Sen school and to a certain extent also influenced by parallel cinema, announced a phase that would come to be called 'Middle Cinema', which is distinct in form, style and intellectual complexity. While Aparna's films are realistic portrayals of social and political issues often played out in a domestic scenario, her difference from other directors is marked by her portrayal of women characters enacting their agency within a patriarchal Bengali society. It is precisely this which grants her films a certain universality, and in turn, they reach a wider audience, thus extending her regional identity to that of a national director. Her choice of stories, the art of narrating them, cinematic style, realism, simplicity, and the absence of flamboyance mark her cinema, and lend her oeuvre a certain distinction. Several critics including Shoma Chatterji opine that like many women film directors (of which there were very few when Sen made her mark), Aparna Sen represents a feminine sensibility in the way she portrays women's negotiations with Indian patriarchy. Sen herself rejects the idea of her films being labelled feminist: 'I don't believe in any 'ism' other than humanism…women's issues are to me a part and parcel of humanism itself – something that I believe in and try my best to live by.'

Xscape's Tamika Scott surprises waitress with $700 tip after other staffers ignored her
R&B star Tamika Scott, a member of the legendary group Xscape, surprised a waitress in Buford, Georgia, with a $700 tip after she and her daughter were initially ignored by staff at a local restaurant. Musician Tamika Scott surprised a young waitress with a $700 tip (Instagram/@therealtamikascott) Scott recounted the experience in an Instagram video posted on Saturday, August 16, saying she and her daughter, who goes by Young Niyah, arrived at The Juicy Crab about 30 minutes before closing. Despite several employees being on duty, no one came to seat them. Ignored by all but one server Scott, 50, said there were five to six waitresses on duty, but four of them turned their backs on her and her daughter. 'It was like five or six waitresses and four of them turned their backs,' Scott explained. 'No one helped us and we stood there for five minutes.' Eventually, a young server approached the pair and offered to help. Scott said she noticed other employees whispering about why the woman had chosen to assist them. Touched by the waitress's kindness, Scott decided to show her gratitude in a big way. $700 tip for one surprised waitress 'Never judge a book by its cover,' she said in the video. 'Be patient because you never know when you'll be blessed.' (Also read: Indian man sparks a row by leaving only 10% tip in US restaurant, claims waiter kept his balance amount) Scott then filmed herself counting out $700 in cash, which she described as 'a small token of love.' Handing the money to the stunned waitress, she added, 'And all the girls who turned their backs, all the girls who didn't want to wait on me and was talking and whispering, do not get this tip. Be patient, because you never know when you're going to be blessed.' Scott encouraged her not to change who she is. 'Stay who you are. Don't let nobody ever change you,' she told her. In her post caption, the singer emphasized that her gesture wasn't about celebrity privilege but about fairness and kindness. 'I don't look for special privileges. I believe EVERYONE should be treated fairly, no matter their color, sex or financial status!!' she wrote. 'You never know what a person is going through. Be kind and never turn your back on anyone!' People magazine did not immediately receive a response when it reached out to Juicy Crab for a comment.
