MY PORTFOLIO
Respected ma’am/sir
It is my pleasure to introduce my self.
My name is Ayushi Joshya. I was born in 2005. I
have got two siblings, one sister and one brother
and I am the eldest one. My hobbies are dancing,
painting and reading books. I am a student in
standard 12 at Loyola High School. I study Maths,
Physics, Chemistry, English and IP. I like studying
all scientific subjects and also have a very keen
interest in literature. I spend my leisure time
painting and reading novels. I can’t pick a
favourite but the James Bond series is one of the
most brilliant work I have read till date.
Experience of making the project

This project was more than just regular work, it


was a revelation for me. The research needed for
this project, as well the documentary film assigned
for it, opened my eyes to the real world, the lives
of the people affected, the forced labour, child
labour, and malpractices caused by middlemen.
The documentary ‘The Ugly Face of Beauty: Is
Child Labour the Foundation for Your Makeup’
gives a detailed description of the lives of the
people living in less-than-ideal conditions. Small,
cramped mines, temporary settlements, lack of
basic facilities, terrible hygienic conditions. Mines
are very dangerous places: collapses and other
accidents, related to the use of dangerous tools,
such as the use of dynamite, are very frequent.
During the process of Mica extraction, women and
children breathe large amounts of silicon dust that
deposits in their lungs, exposing them to the risk of
developing silicosis. People working in the mines
are exposed to a potentially lethal lung disease.
These are just some problems faced by the people.
Indian law forbids children below the age of 18 to
work in mines and other hazardous industries, but
many families living in utmost poverty depends on
children to boost household incomes which
average around 200 rupees.
This project, while it may have seemed like a
simple review of a documentary, has been a major
initiative for me, and for everyone else, informing
us of the reality and giving us a will to work for
these people.
I would have wished to travel to the mica mining
regions myself and get first-hand experience of the
conditions of the people living there, to diversify
my knowledge and if possible, assist them in one
way or the other. The documentary, however, does
provide a very descriptive idea.
