Namratha, a multi-award-winning Indian Miss, recently arrived in Vilnius, Lithuania, to study at university. We met on Christmas Eve while she was taking photos of a Father Christmas performer in the Old Town. The following day, December 25, we visited Trakai, a town near Vilnius, with her friends Ragini and Theresa to explore the famous castle, where the filming of this video took place. Trakai was once the medieval capital of the country.
The sky over Trakai was grey that day—there wasn’t much chance of seeing a rainbow, except perhaps in Namratha’s sunny presence.
As a proud native of the Indian state of Telangana, Namratha’s tagline is ‘Your Telangana Child!’

➤ If you think Strangers.Now is worthy of attention—that’s exactly what it needs—please share, like, and engage widely! These films are unlisted on YouTube; only your sharing, and that of your friends, can bring them to life. They need your creative involvement—preferably in person: word of mouth is the best way to support a project that is entirely self-funded.
Note: The subjects of the films usually speak their mother tongue or a language they feel comfortable with: we believe that embracing diverse forms of expression makes the world a richer place. On YouTube, English subtitles can be activated via the relevant icon, and automatic translation into many languages (desktop only) is accessible through the gear icon in the bottom-right corner of the videos (see below).
