Blackout! (in Colours)

Newspaper blackouts, reading between the lines and censorship have found a common platform here. Their shared property is one factor how we have been able to extract various stories of life out from the ordinary as well as not-so-ordinary things of a single story. 

 

Indeed, life is what a story is — it is only a matter of degree in the difference between the plots and narratives. The most profound element is undoubtedly the commonness, which overlaps each other between the stories of our lives; and now and then, by sheer force of coincidence and manipulation: we find ourselves in the same pool of happiness and equally in the puddle of tragedy. This happens without necessarily sharing the stories.
