60 Seconds Story: YCCE students raise the sensitive issue of rape through the music video ‘Weigh Me Down’
Students of Yeshwantrao Chavan College of Engineering (YCCE), Nagpur have come up with a music video Weigh me Down – which raises the sensitive issue of rape, portrays the suffering of a rape victim and raises a serious question about a woman’s security.
The six-minute video features Shruti Nikam playing the victim. The song which plays throughout the video has been penned down by Ayush Sahu and Adil. Ayush has also given his voice for the song along with Abhishree Shastri.
The video which took two months to complete (right from the screenplay to the final output) has been directed by Tanmay Jha and the cinematography and production has been done by Kartik Pandit. Kartik and Tanmay have also written the screenplay for the video. The video has already crossed 11,000 views in just a week’s time.
The video has been entirely shot in Nagpur and keeping in mind that it has been shot on Canon 700D, the cinematographer did a good job. The music video has been kept a bit dark symbolizing the dark moments and fear a rape victim goes through.
Here’s the link to the video!
Billboards that mention Shubham Gill
Indian cricketer Umesh Yadav had a ‘field day’ teasing his team member Shubham Gill after Tinder – a popular dating app – showed a photo of a girl with a placard on large billboards in Nagpur that read, “Shubman idhar toh dekh lo” (Shubman, have a look here).” Tinder was quick to capitalise on the joke and turn it into hoardings in Nagpur ahead of India first Test match vs Australia.
Taking to twitter, Yadav wrote, “Poora Nagpur bol raha hai, Shubman Gill ab toh dekh le.”

As per the recent survey of Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service, the entire month of January (all 31 days) in Nagpur this year saw tremendously high levels of Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2).
The survey that released pictures of the same showed increased levels of SO2 and NO2 not just in Nagpur but in cities including Chandrapur, Gondia and Amravati. Environmental experts have said that the matter was worrying from the point of view of the health of the residents as the pollution index in Nagpur saw an increase in all the three months of winter.
Not just in January this year but 28 out of 30 days in November last year as well as 30 out of 31 days in December last year showed poor air quality. Environmental expert Professor Suresh Chopani said an action plan, to avoid respiratory issues, under National Clean Air Programme would be strictly implemented.
