FWD Women Circle FWD Women Circle 2017 presented by MercedesBenz Rajasree Motors, powered by MOM Premium Women's Hospital, co-powered by Velvet Condoms for Women, in association with Le Méridien Kochi, TBZ - The Original, Fratelli Vineyards, Big Joe’s Cold Storage, Exo, Nila Herbal Soap and Essensuals

by TONI&GUY, Cochin, with WtzupCity, RED FM COCHIN, LISO Chocolatier, Abs Clinics - Dhathri Group and Tanishq as partners, was a day that invoked thought about gender norms and effecting change. The second edition of FWD Women Circle was joined by Manju Sara Rajan (CEO, The Kochi Biennale Foundation), Monica Suri (General Manager, Le Meridien), Nisha Jose (Social Changer), Rekha Menon ( TV Anchor & Media Personality), Annah Chakola (Founder & Creative Director of Boho Gypsy), Dr. PTM Sunish (CEO, Gender Park), Dr. Meenu Batra (Consultant - Fetal Medicine Unit, Cimar Fertility Centre), Sheela Kochouseph (Managing Director, VStar Creations), Pearle Maaney (VJ, model, anchor, and actress), and Meera Haridas (Head of Marketing, Mannapuram Finance Ltd) and had in attendance entrepreneurs and renowned personalities of note.

While the conversation was about women and independence last year, the conversation grew bigger this year. With two sessions and 10 speakers, the day encouraged more positive thought towards equality.The first session on the topic ‘Today’s women are expected to do it all’ gave way for a better understanding of the sacrifices most women feel they’re entitled to make while holding a job.

The second session was on the topic, ‘HeForShe’men as agents of change. The topic was chosen in support of the UN Women campaign - HeForShe, a women solidarity campaign set up in 2014.

Hey, Soul Sister With a passion for music and a love for individuality, Anna Katharina is a force to be reckoned with Fathima Abdul Kader

Deepu GS

Becky Mary Valayil

W

hile she shot to fame with “Appangelempadum” from Ustad Hotel, Anna Katharina Valayil is much more. She is a soulful musician who grew up listening to the likes Bob Marley and Bob Dylan. Referring to herself as a third culture kid, Anna and her sister Becky grew up in an unconventional setting that combined the best of all the worlds. Her mother, the traditional catholic woman made sure that they could be the traditional catholica girls when needed, but their father, the party animal, taught them how to have fun and enjoy life.

Rockstar in the making Growing up till the 5th grade in Nigeria and then studying in Choice School, Kochi, Anna had many different influences that shaped her. Her father who now runs the Cabana resorts in Goa had always been an avid music lover who woke his children up with Reggae music and spend much more than he ought to on audio systems.

Her mother is a part time business woman and homemaker who set her on the path to being an empowered woman. Even at a young age, Anna knew she was a rock star, even if no one took her word for it. In school, her teachers didn’t have to call out her name to check attendance as the presence of a guitar was enough to signify that Anna was in the class.

WtzupCity.com/COVERSTORY

After completing her schooling at Choice School, Anna went on to do her under graduation in St.Teresa’s College and then did her graduation at Swinburne University. During this time, she got interested in flying and became a licensed pilot. After a short stint working as a PR for Le Meridien, Anna decided to pursue her passion for music and started training under Sumesh Parameshwar and this lead to the biggest turning point in her life.

For the love of music Anna was always musical and wrote songs, but never had any formal training till Sumesh Parameshwar started teaching her guitar and the basics of pitching.

Through her music teacher, she met Gopi Sunder and started working with him for his jingles and doing vocals for background scores. Working with the renowned music director helped her learn about voice training, voice modulation for recording standards and eventually to her big break with the song ‘Appangalembadum”.

Since then, she has done the music for a song in the movie Akashavani and has also released an original called ‘Honey Bee’. She has recently formed her own band - The Tribe and is hoping to start doing gigs all around the city and someday, the world. Artists

What I love about Kochi is…

like Avial and Job Kurian are big inspirations for Anna as they never succumb to doing covers and stick to doing their originals.

Phenomenal Woman While pursuing her passion full time, Anna is also a wife and a mother. Four years ago, Anna’s mother in law saw her interview on television, got in touch with mutual friends and brought the proposal in. Her husband Renjesh Jacob Chandy is in the catering field and hails from Kottayam. Being brought up by a strong single mother, her husband is her big supporter and as Anna said, “I’ve been in love before, but god has an incredible way of giving you the right person to spend your life with.”

As a mother of two daughters - Raysha and

The positive vibes that I’ve felt in the singing ministries of Kochi are unparalleled. For me, there is nothing quite like music that can make one feel blessed to be alive and kicking.

Rahel, and as woman who embraces her identity, Anna has a lot to say about embracing one’s womanhood. She is someone who believes that all women should be active, work, be productive and creative. It is not just about the need of paying bills, but about retaining one’s identity. Every person in a woman’s life looks to her at one point or the other and they need to see that women are just as capable as men. After getting married and having kids, Anna mentioned being asked to dress the way she is “supposed to”. She believes in dressing for one’s personality. She went on to say “Any attire, whether it is ripped jeans, a fitted dress or a saree, when children are brought up to see it as a part of a woman’s identity, they grow up to be more open minded about the way other’s dress.”

New around the counter Nothing can make a meal better than the right condiments and Lulu Hypermarket is all set to offer new flavors with the latest additions in store

C

ondiments add a new flavor, a twist to almost any meal. The right kind of condiments can make or break a dish.

But for most people, they’ve become an indispensible part of good food. But however, if you stock up on too bottles of your favourite condiments, it might not work out in a lot of scenarios as either it goes to waste, or it expires.

Moreover, you don’t get to buy a whole lot of different types as a single bottle can cost up to 200-300. They are not easily available in loose quantities and even when they are, the quality remains questionable.

Tasting Tradition Known for their homely meals that leave people wanting for more, Hotel Oottupura is a much loved lunch spot for Kochiites Fathima Abdul Kader

T

he moment the doors open to Hotel Oottupura at Chethikodu near Nedumbassery, their regulars start streaming in. Located on the highway and boasting of a traditional Kerala menu prominently featuring seafood, the hotel is a much loved local lunch spot that is only open from 11am to 4pm.

The soft spoken literature lover, Madhu P.A. started the hotel an year and a half ago as a way to survive. Little did he know that the quality of the food and the never ending love Malayalees have for traditional meals would ensure the success of his venture. The unexpected and overwhelming response is the reason why the hotel never compromises on their consistent quality. With prices that rarely go beyond Rs.60 per dish, their most loved items are the meals, prawn roast, kakka roast and a myriad of local fishes made in different traditional ways. All the vegetables at the shop are locally sourced and Madhu tries to make sure it is as organic as it can be. This small

venture has also managed to create small job oppurtunities for the women who work their kitchen. The entire kitchen is handled by older women and the food is made in a way similar to how one cookc for their own family. The rooms inside the hotel all feature little tidbits from renowned malayalam literary works that add a little extra to the visitor's experience.

Since Hotel Oottupura is located on the way to the airport, it has its fair share of celebrity fans.

The Angamalay MLA, Roji M John recently did an interview for a Delhi based publication in which he said Hotel Oottupura was his all time favourite hotel.

THRILLER DRAMA

Making a lot of scenes In conversation with the youngest cinematographer of Mollywood who debuted with basheerinte premalekhanam

M

eet Sanjay Harris, the youngest cinematographer in the history of Malayalam film industry, who has managed to amaze everyone with his talent and dedication.

This rising star of the film industry really is an epitome of hard work, determination, faith and energy. He’s had a craze for photography and films for as long as he can remember. It all began with the love for photography during school days.

When it became time to decide what to do for a living, Sanjay decided to do a course through which he could follow his passion, make a great future and make his parents feel proud. Then, he studied a cinematography course at Balaji Film Institute, Mumbai. His family has been his biggest supporter through out his journey.

How was the journey from assistant director to cinematographer?

The journey went well as I could learn many things and got a good experience while working. Eventually after that, I got a chance to assist director Abhinandam Ramanujan for the movie Mosayile Kuthira Meenukal and worked with him for around two and a half years. Thereafter, I worked as an assistant director for the movie Rani Padmini with Madhu Neelakandan.

Following that, I worked as an assistant cameraman in movies like Double Barrel and Inspector Dawood Ibrahim. The strong passion, love and the effort I put in earned appreciation.

Talking about being the youngest cinematographer, how do you feel?
