In The Apu Trilogy, the main character Apu has an incredible enthusiasm for curiosity. In the spirit of Apu I invite you to select something from the films or from the supporting readings that sparked your curiosity and that you would like to know more about..
Perhaps it is one of the creators of the films (maybe Ray himself!); one of the actors; the music; a place; a culture – a person, place or thing from one of the films that you want to know more about…
Once you have selected that something which sparked your curiosity, please write a paper sharing your discovery. Write about: 1) the history of it/her/him/etc. ; 2) what struck you, surprised you and moved you about it/her/him/etc.; 3) plus most importantly why did you choose it/her/him/etc. and how do you now personally connect to it/her/him/etc….
Be inspired by Apu’s deep desire and thirst to know more about the world…
