Qalam 2001 : Iqbal Rizvi
Location- Library room in her villa.
Anita Sharma 28 years in age is sitting and reading a letter she has just received informing her that her father has expired and has left behind her his farmhouse. A father she last saw when she was 8. Her parents had divorced then.
A tinge of sadness and guilt is on her face , a father she could have met but she never did try to. She gets up from a chair walks to the window looks out life goes on the streets and she looks up towards the sky and sees a plane we zoom to the plane .
CUT TO
She is coming out of the airport and is received by the farm incharge , her fathers man Friday Mr Samuels. The ride to the farm house is about 2 hrs he informs her along the way the farm incharge blabbers on about what the people are here but Anita is lost in her thoughts as she crosses through rugged locates and tinge of green breeze past her , suddenly finding herself in this scenario Anita feels lonely but a certain peace and is thinking about some of her moments with her father. ( which we show with flashes and sound bytes).
Her reverie is broken by the fact that Mr Samuels mentions the cause of her fathers death and she wonders how tranquil such a place and left to themselves people can be tied up with her fathers death but realises a peculiar trait that all her fathers neighbours are male and anyone of them could be responsible especially when such hostile expressions greet her. She hesitantly enters her farm house full of her fathers presence and sees her father’s photo touches it and walks out into the porch and looks to the imposing mountains and ponders what to do next.

Rising Bharat Summit 2026 spotlights India’s global ascent
PM Modi keynotes two-day event with ministers, diplomats and icons in New Delhi.
MUMBAI: India didn’t just host a summit, it threw a coming-out party for a nation ready to own the global stage. The News18 Rising Bharat Summit 2026, held on 27–28 February in New Delhi, emerged as a high-octane platform for ideas, vision and strategic dialogue, uniting national leadership, global policymakers, industry titans, defence strategists and cultural icons under the theme “Strength Within”.
Prime minister Narendra Modi set the tone with a keynote that framed India’s resurgence as a reclaiming of lost potential built over generations. “In previous industrial revolutions, India and the Global South were merely followers,” he said. “But in the era of Artificial Intelligence, India is a partner in decisions and shaping them.” He highlighted the country’s thriving AI startup ecosystem and the recent AI Impact Summit attended by over 100 nations.
Union minister Piyush Goyal (Commerce & Industry) stressed India’s readiness to scale exports and deepen manufacturing, while Ashwini Vaishnaw (Railways, I&B, Electronics & IT) positioned technology and infrastructure as twin engines of growth, especially in AI and digital trust. Jyotiraditya Scindia (Communications & North East Development) revealed India’s ambition to lead in 6G through the Bharat 6G Alliance and partnerships with over 30 countries.
Global voices added depth: former Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo called India’s development “self-sustaining” and strategically vital; ex-UK Chief of Defence Staff General Sir Nick Carter asserted India deserves a seat at the great powers’ table; and former US Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez joined ambassadors from Norway, Germany and Sweden in discussions on geopolitical realignment, sustainability and defence preparedness.
Other speakers included veteran investor Ramesh Damani, World Gold Council CEO David Tait, Vianai Systems founder Dr Vishal Sikka, DeepTech Bharat Foundation co-founder Shashi Shekhar Vempati, defence experts Rajesh Kumar Singh, Sunil Ambekar, Patrick McGee, Tom Cooper and Adrian Fontanellaz, plus cultural and sporting icons Kangana Ranaut, Saina Nehwal, PR Sreejesh, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mithali Raj, Anil Kapoor and Yami Gautam.
The summit was supported by Jio Financial Services (Presenting Partner), Phonepe and DS Group (Co-Presenting Partners), Pernod Ricard India and Kia Seltos (Powered By & Driven By), state governments of Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand (State Partners), and associate partners including NSE, M3M Foundation and Reliance Industries.
