What is Suez canal? If you have been living under a rock, or skipped Social science's through middle school, read through. The Suez Canal’s importance for Egypt The 150-year-old canal was controlled by British and French interests in its initial years, but was nationalized in 1956 by Egypt’s then leader Gamal Abdel Nasser.

2016 in a interview with film critic Rajeev Masand, composer Amit Trivedi made a surprising admission about the film score that truly inspired him.

She was beautiful. She helped a struggling soul , not because she was beautiful. She saved a dying plant , not because she was beautiful. She wanted self respect , not because she was beautiful. She got angry when people ignored her brilliance , not because she was beautiful. She withheld her emotions , not because she was beautiful. She wanted to be respected not because she was beautiful. She withstood hell , not because she was beautiful. She had many scars , because she was beautiful. -Pranavh Devidasan.......
