Bloody Zionist Influence

It is no doubt that Israel is working hard behind the scenes and is in a process to unify India, US and UK among others so that India becomes a stooge for them.
In Israeli Zionist view, Indians can be molded very easily through mass media and Press and they will begin to then "work for Israel".
They dominate the press and want India Pakistan conflict to drag on.
Israelis don't want India and Pakistan to come together and make peace. It is not in their interest.
Modi is "falling for that". For RSS and VHP it is just fine. These people will do anything to go against the Muslims and Pakistan even if it means aligning with the worst racist and the most violent killer country in the world and that is Israel.
US and UK are just masks of Israel in the Indian scene.

I hate this Govt.

Recently I read that India may end UN support to Palestine.
I will say that this is **cking shit.
I **cking hate this Govt., this bloody Hindu nationalist Govt. of BJP/RSS combine led by Modi.
They are aligning themselves with the apartheid and destructive state of Israel.
I mean look at Israel. It is a killer country. The blood of millions of people is in their hands.
They cry about holocaust but the truth is they have created a holocaust by their mere existence.
They have destroyed millions of lives.
There is no hope for India. Why for India? It is also for the world.
With India supporting Israel, the world is doomed.
More death and destruction is to follow.
But people are living in a fools paradise if they think nothing will happen to India and Israel.
Very soon the very flames of destruction that these countries fan out will spread to them.
Like I said, the world is doomed and dark days lie ahead.
Not "acche din" but "burrey din aane waley hain".

Deeply saddened by attack on Children in Pakistan

I will say it was one of the saddest day of my life.
Why did God keep me alive to see that day?
Why do people eliminate others I can't think. We saw Israel eliminate thousands of people including entire families just a few months back.
We saw punishing war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In the 1990's we have seen sanctions by US and others kill many of Iraq's children.
Why this killing?
God made this planet for humans to live happily. Why killing and more killing?
It is like a never ending cycle. When will it end?

I still haven't found what I am looking for

This song by U2 has profound meaning for men.
Like I still am unable to decide if I will go clean shaven or have beard or have beard without moustache or french cut. It is full confusion. Even after I first kept the beard in May 2013 after more than 1 and half years I am unable to decide what to do.
I guess it is very simple to shave "all off" i.e. become clean shaven. Shaving all is the 'easy way out'.
Keeping a beard or moustache or french cut is the tougher part as lot of patience is required and "toleration" is required.

Star Trek, Wedding Crashers, Guardians of The Galaxy

Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.

Sant Rampal conspiracy

What is happening with Sant Rampal appears to be a huge conspiracy led by BJP and Fascist forces with the backing of Baba Ramdev.
First the Fascist Govt. gives Z+ category security to Ramdev and then after winning Haryana elections manipulates state machinery and media against Sant Rampal.
Why? Because Rampal stands for unity among diverse faiths. And the Fascists are highly divisive. Divide and rule is their motto.
I will say dark days are coming to be under Modi.
He and his associate Ramdev want to eliminate all opposition and they want to just finish the people who stand for inter faith unity.
Just visit Sant Rampal ji website and you will know what I am talking about.

We're the Millers, Thor The Dark World and The Dinosaur Project

All the three movies I have watched as mentioned in the subject are simply great.
Thor movie I watched and today I have come to know that our days of the week are named after the Greek Gods and Thursday is named after "Thor".
The Dinosaur project shows a very beautiful world. I was reading something on the net about Kashmir having the snowfall and I was wondering how beautiful the land will look when it is all white and stuff and then I see this movie and this shows a "green world" a world so beautiful with valleys and rivers and cliffs and forests that you forget about the snow.

Rehena Hai tere Dil Main

In 2001, I had gone to Sion (East) in Mumbai to watch this movie in a multiplex. I think it was Cinemax. But mid way into the movie I had got up and walked out. Now I finally watched it till the end.
2001 was the year when my articleship was over and I was about to return to Hyderabad and then Chennai and finally make my way to Bangalore where I currently reside.
This movie shows three characters, Madhavan, Saif Ali Khan and Dia Mirza.
I will say they represent South, North and Hyderabad.
As we know India forcefully captured Hyderabad in 1948. Similar thing happens in the movie.
The North guy (Saif) hands the girl (Mirza) to the South guy (Madhavan).
That is what happens in actual geo-politics as well.

Ebn-e-Batuta

Watched this movie on Airtel Digital TV (DTH). I must tell that this movie is just superb.
Tata Sky never shows such kind of movies and in that sense Airtel is better.
Earlier I had Videocon D2H and I feel that it is far better than others as it would take 60 per month for the movie channel and it would keep running 24/7.
But this Tata Sky and Airtel is like "pay per day" and they take Anywhere from 50-100 for 1 day view.

Kick

Watched movie "Kick" on Star Gold HD.
It is a very bad movie. Salman just keeps churning out this kind of stinky movies.
It is a Salman Khan torture movie. One who watches it will get 'royally tortured by Salman'.
It is no doubt that Salman is backed by Israeli and NATO forces and thus can take entire Indian public for a ride.
It is a good thing I watched it on TV and not wasted to watch on big screen. But trust me it is not worth for TV watching as well.

Most disappointing day

Today is one of the saddest day of my life.
Scots have voted to stay on with England. Basically what the Scots have said to the rest of the world is to "#uck off". Leave us (Britain and Scotland) together and we will take care of each other and solve our problems.
It makes me sad nonetheless. I was expecting a different outcome.

President of China

I will praise Modi for inviting the President of China and giving him a warm welcome.
Modiji I salute you.
The UPA Govt. could never have done this.
The UPA Govt. was actually a Zionist entity. It was under the direct control of US, UK, France and Israel. Led by Manmohan Singh who was actually a rubber stamp of Italian 'devi' Sonia Gandhi. The Pope also had a direct say in India's affairs. Hail to Modi for being the Hindu PM after a decade.
I am behind Modiji all the way.
Also the Chinese President avoided Pakistan of whom China is a "big ally". Whatever be the reason, the fact that the Chinese president avoided Pakistan is a big achievement for India. It goes on to show that Hindi-Chini bhai bhai is still alive.  Also, it shows that 'war is madness'. All people and countries should strive to live in peace.
Also Chinese president visiting Gujarat is a proud moment for all Indians. Though Pakistan is next door to Gujarat still the President avoided Pakistan. It is like a snub to Pakistan.
I will say that Chinese President visit is bigger than US president visit. The US president whoever he is always remains a puppet of Israel and the Jews.
In spite of all the 'lectures about democracy'
, the US President remains an Israeli stooge. Hence there is no benefit of meeting US President.

Britain vs Scots

I will welcome if the Scots get their independence. It would serve the bloody "Great" Britain right. Bloody ##uckers they divided India while leaving in 1947. Then Pakistan was not sustainable and it divided into two as well. This is all due to the English. The Brits were already in 'lost mode' with Ireland. Now losing Scotland will serve them right.
The so called "Great" UK should now think of invading Scotland instead of Iraq or Syria or Crimea.
We have seen Sean Connery, Travis among others so very proud of their Scottish heritage.
We have also seen 'Braveheart', a story about Scots war. I have not seen it by the way. It is in my 'to be watched' list.

Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya

Watched one more movie. This time on Tata Sky. Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya.I liked the movie. But I feel that that guy Siddharth Shukla was given a 'raw deal'. I feel he is star material.

Get them Russia

This message to Russia. Today I saw the below map.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV7058IxuH6GBEqvEv6yQDmtSYtyNlxq1tIshkYwc5U2USnpONlojvPyE3BE6xYcy9Rgxlm6Uz9282i_4ku5Blygd1jsxWSdh0HCA9JiHZwPtkCmXz0B6nEZrxcUQQguODKJ0KASfSmebA/s1600/Ukraine+map.jpg
What I find from here is that the area in blue is predominantly Russian majority areas and Russia should have 'unfettered access' to that area.
I mean even Ukrainians should 'back down' from here. And hence, there is no question of US, UK, France, Germany or NATO there.
My appeal to Russia is that I am counting on you. Defeat those 'new age imperialists'. Do not give them even an inch of territory. Because if you do so, the next thing you know they will invade Crimea and Crimean Peninsula. They want to extinguish Russia.
Russia do not surrender. Face these Ukrainian forces with your might. We know these Ukrainians are fighting at the behest of NATO and NATO is behind this.
I am with you Russia and your leader Putin. Extinguish them.
Russia you need access to the Black Sea. And you need Crimea. Do not buckle under pressure.
These NATO forces are pure evil. They want to extingush your existence and influence.
Do not allow that. I am counting on you.

Zookeeper, Entertainment

Watched two movies mentioned in the subject line.
Zookeeper on HBO HD Channel and Entertainment on the big screen. Both movies are okay but definitely Zookeeper felt better.

Shaving and Ruin

I will say that a person who clean shaves himself is bringing nothing but ruin upon himself and his near and dear ones. Because the ruin is starting from his face. Morning he gets up and shaves. Thus he begins the day with a 'ruin kind of event' which may get compounded in time. And by person we mean man because a woman does not need to shave.
There is a term knows as "Ujde hue Chaman" and few comedians like Razak Khan have used it certain times like "Abbey ujde hue chaman".
I will say that men who shave become 'ujde hue chaman'.
It is important that men preserve their natural look and that is with beard. That is how the Creator intended it to be. Man is defying his own creator when he starts to shave.
I will say with beard at least the mans face is safe. No one can accuse him of bringing ruin to his face at least. Rest of the things we leave it to karma. And the saying "As you sow, so you reap".
There are people who live without beard and they are the womenfolk. A man does not need to compete with a woman for beauty. Women are naturally beautiful.
The 'so called beauty' of a man can only come from a beard. Man was made to exist with a beard.
I fully agree that the beard needs to be "full". One should neither trim it or shave it near the neck and cheekbones. But one may shave the moustache but only the upper lip portion. Thats what I think ought to be.
A beard should be 'in entirety'. And this I have realized after more than one year of trying out different permutations and combinations of facial hair.
I have tried moustache, french cut, mutton chops, clean shaven, just trim among others.
I feel that one should either be completely clean shaven or one should have the beard. And if one opts to be completely clean shaven one should shave daily. There should not be any excuse for not shaving.
But if one opts for a beard, I feel one can connect with ones creator as well as one does not need to put an effort to shave daily. I will say shaving is an effort and takes 10 minutes of your life on a day to day basis. Not to mention the nicks and cuts which can happen if you are not using a perfect blade.
If you keep a beard you will notice after two-three weeks of growth it feels smooth. But if you trim it, it will satay rough. Daily shaving can keep your face smooth.

2D vs 3D

People I have realized that people have different sense of perception in their lives.
The see the world in 2 D or '3D and beyond'.
This "AND BEYOND" is very important term.
When one sees a world in 2D one gets satisfied with simple pleasures of life. Like watching Television.
But when sees the world in "3D and beyond", one sees TV as what is getting 'as it is'. One realises it as a box with a screen and circuits and wires. Then one may get a "kick" out of reading a newspaper or a book which has more 'depth and perception' than a 2D image on TV.
Some people may not get a 'kick' out of a book or newspaper, they may need 'more' like 'real people' and real locations and real interactions. For them life is more than 3D. It becomes 'beyond 3D'.
And that my friends is what happens daily. People who go to cultural festivals and literature festivals aim to get a 'kick' beyond 3D.
People who avoid most social contacts are not necessarily 'anti social' but they get a kick out of 2D which I said is the simple pleasures of life.
People who go to parties and spend late nights in clubs and all aim to beyond 3D.
They may not get a kick by doing 'simple things'. And it has also happened in my life.
I will consider myself as being satisfied with 2D. But there were certain people in life who knew more than 2D. Their perception was that much wider and then they thought that I am a nobody and I can be twisted and turned.
But even with a 2D vision I was not going to be taken for a ride. I am not a slave to nobody. I am nobody's personal slave and that is what dictated my actions.
These people with these 'wider visions' cannot stand how ordinary people can get kick by their '2D visions' and hence they aim to dominate them and make them worthless.
That is like a story of the world. And this vision comes from the eyes and the brain and it is very essence of who we are and our consciousness.

ISIS American Creation

ISIS which has taken over huge territory in Iraq is nothing but an American creation.
Damn you America for meddling in other peoples affairs.
You support Israel since beginning and arm it to the teeth which it uses to destroy Arabs.
Then you trigger Shia Sunni war in Arab lands. Prominent is Iran Iraq war in 80's.
You made Saddam and then you destroy Saddam and the country of Iraq.
I will say that Sunnis are fools. They think that the whole world is theirs but they disown their 'brothers' the Shias.
They think that they will covert whole world to Sunnis but then they target their own fellow Shia Muslims and make them as 'apostates'.
Then you trigger war in Syria and arm the rebels. Now the rebels look to the east and Baghdad lies there for their taking.
It is common sense that civilisations will prosper in riverbanks, we learnt that in schools. It was but natural that Islamic State will follow the natural course of Tigris and Euphrates rivers and move to Iraq. Why will they get destroyed in Syria when a more prosperous and wealthy kingdom (Iraq) lies next door.
The big fool is now the great US of A. It thought that it was arming Syrian rebels but now they cross over and create havoc in Iraq.
The same rebels it armed are now gunning for the White House.
Ha Ha Ha. It is really funny.

PK Poster

I will bet that PK movie which is coming soon is nothing but a copy of "Hangover" movies. PK can stand for "pee kay" which means "after drinking".
So, what we have the PK poster is nothing but a stage in the film where Aamir or Aamir's character ends up without his clothes and on a railway track and that is likely to be a sub-plot in the movie. I can't believe why anybody is making a hue and cry over this.
I mean we can see posters of Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn or Shah Rukh in almost topless mode and it leaves little to imagination. I mean a woman needs to be clothed and we do not even see women in bras on the posters but for men it is okay.
I say if Aamir had shown his dick then only the poster would have been vulgar. Now it is not vulgar at all. Give Aamir a break. let him spread his wings and fly. Give his talent a space to express himself. That is the least we can do.

Bullet to the Head, Iron Man 3, Hangover II, Hangover III

Watched four movies as mentioned in the subject over the past two days.
The movie Bullet to the Head is just too good and Jason Mamoa is excellent apart from Sly of course.
Iron Man 3 is okay.
Hangover 2 and 3 are both excellent. It is amazing how Chow appears to get a central role in both the sequels. The Hangover series is amazing according to me. But is it possible that they may run out of ideas? It is possible and and then at that time the sequels would stop which should not be encouraged according to me.

Israel Stop the Madness

Israel I know you are reading this post. As you own all Google, Facebook as well the Internet.
Don't kill humans. Palestinians are human too.
Even my post is not public I know you are reading this.
Stop killing innocent people, any people.
Give humanitarian aid. Open the borders of Gaza. Let the people roam free.
Wash your sins by giving liberation to Gazans.
Also you don't own me and can never own me Israel. I am not your slave.
I am posting here by my own free will and you don't control me and can never.

Bobby Jasoos, The Killer, Holiday

Lessons from WWE

I would like to share two important lessons I have got from WWE.
--> First one is that life is tough and only the tough will survive and the toughest will win. We saw what happened to Bad News Barett. He got injured and could not compete in Money in the Bank match. Now we know it is bad from him but all competitors face the same injury risk and then they compete.
Thus luck is also a factor and being at the 'right place at the right time' is what makes one successful. And being at the wrong place at the right time or being at the right place at the wrong time or being at the wrong place at the wrong time all will lead to a kind of 'crash'. Thus we can clearly say anyone has 25% chance to succeed as even one element of 'wrong' can ruin the show.
We even saw in the case of Daniel Bryan. He was attacked by Kane and got 'tomb stoned' and that is actually the cause of his injury. Now Kane attacked John Cena several times and tried to 'tomb stone' him but John Cena could defend himself and turn the tables back on Kane. Thus we can say John Cena was tough, in fact he could be in the category of 'toughest'. He did not 'lie back' and take the punishment Kane was sent to deliver to Cena. He fought back. Thus he became the World Heavyweight Champion.
-->Next is the importance of the "Authority". We know that "Authority" is always there. Whether it is Communist or Capitalist, democracy or kingdom system or dictator system, one entity will always be there which is the authority. And people work in environment which are nurtured by the "Authority".
I wish I could have realised it earlier then, I might not have left my previous job. It is now after watching about 3-4 months of WWE constantly taht I am realsiing the importance of Authority. And I realise now that it has always been like this both in WWF (which is now WWE) and in life. It is not for pure entertainment that they show these talks and Authority related disputes in WWE or other shows. There is an element of conflict between The Authority and the people who function in the environment under the Authority's control.
They incorporate it into the shows. Just plain matches would not be that interesting if it was not for the shows storyline running behind or parallel to the matches being held.

WWE, Oblivion, Videocon D2H Cinema

I have been watching several WWE shows lately.
Initially it began by watching shows on Ten HD or Ten Sports. But now I am downloading from net and watching. Saves me the pain of watching ads on TV.
Recently, I saw that Bad News Barett got injured. At that time, I got into crossroads. Whether to continue watching WWE or not.
Then I watched both Money in the Bank as well as Monday Night Raw and in Monday Night Raw I saw that Kofi Kingston remarked, "One man's misfortune is another man's opportunity." Same thing was said by one of the commentator, "One mans loss is another mans gain".
I guess we have all to revisit the saying "The show must go on".
So what if Bad News Barett is injured, others will now get the chance to become the New Intercontinental Champion in WWE Battleground coming later this month.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile I watched another movie on Laptop and that is 'Oblivion'. I will say the movie is just superb. They have shown how the aliens rule earth using two clones who they captured in the very initial stage. The clones believe that humans are in control which was obviously not a fact.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D2H Cinema Channel on Videocon D2H was simply superb. They used to take Rs 60 per month and keep the channel "on" for 24 hours a day. Every week there used to be at least one new movie.
Now Tata Sky Showcase channel does not even come close. They take Rs75 for one day and movie just exhausts itself at the end of the day. It is too expensive and I will say not worth it.
But I have found a way and that is to look into the Videocon D2H channel website and then download it using Google and then watch the movie. That way I will not lose out on any 'new movies' being shown on Videocon D2H inspite of my possession of Tata sky.

No One Killed Jessica

Watched this one movie.
What a movie. I guess what they showed in the movie may not have happened during Jessica case but it certainly happened during the Nirbhaya case of Delhi in December 2012.
But movie is only good enough for a one time watch according to me.

Hameshaa,Company,The Great Gatsby,Broken City,Man of Steel

Watched several movies over the past few days. Lets see if I am able to recollect all. First movie "Hameshaa" *ing Saif Ali Khan and Kajol. Second movie was "Company" *ing Ajay Devgn and Manisha Koirala. That day on Friday I was diagnosed with Typhoid and began injection for 5 days and medicine for 15 days. On Saturday watched "The Great Gatsby". On Sunday watched two movies. "Broken City" *ing Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe. "Man of Steel" based on Superman story.

Insidious 2,The House at the End of the Street

Watched 2 more movies over the past two days.
"Insidious Chapter 2" on Laptop, and,
"The House at the End of the Street" on HBO HD Channel.
Both movies are very nice and highly recommended, though I feel Insidious Part 1 was a masterpiece. But Part 1 went into uncharted terrain and Part 2 will go in familiar lines and hence will lose its 'USP', so to speak. Thus Insidious 1 will always be better than Insidious 2. Cannot say the same thing about 'soon to come' Insidious 3 as was pretty much apparent from the ending of Part 2.

Tuesday, 10 June 2014

Hence, I have think before ordering.

Kaanchi The unbreakable

Watched one more movie and it is Kaanchi the unbreakable on Tata Sky Showcase channel. Initially I thought what was Subash Ghai thinking when he made this movie. But then I saw the ending and felt "All is well that ends well". The ending was a happy ending according to me. But I will say Ghai saab has shot the movie in a 'land of splendid beauty' which is Uttaranchal. Also towards the end they show a wonderful quote from Shri Rabindranath Tagoreji and it is, "Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them." Increasingly these sayings will have more and more meaning as the BJP Govt. establishes and asserts itself. They have got mandate from the people as well. But Tagore saab was a great and fearless man. Maybe few can match him. But not only him others from history can provide inspiration to others.

Refrain from Blogspot

I have decided that now onwards I will not post any political views on blogspot.
I am already not in Facebook, Twitter or Linked in. Only network that I was in was blogspot.
I began by posting what movies I watched. The same thing was in 2006. Since I was watching many movies, I began noting in diary. Than I thought why note in diary when it can be online.
Basically it was method to know that on this day I had watched that movie.
As a log book, I had stopped maintaining diary since College days (1996-97). What happens you write your intimate details in a diary and same can be read by anyone who has access to your locker. Thus I discontinued the practice. But I was maintaining diary to keep track of expenses which I am doing even now.
In 2005, I had begun a blogspot account but only random posts over there.
It was only in 2006 that I began posting about the movies I watched. Also, at that time I was into Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Chat and Yahoo Groups. Then I joined Wipro company and I simply went on and deleted my Blog as well as refrained from Yahoo Groups. That was a personal decision due to job commitments.
Then in Wipro we had Channel W which was PHPBB forum. At the same time, Orkut was also in the heavy use and I also joined. Subsequently, I deleted Orkut and Channel W PHPBB form was replaced with a new Channel W which was different and was not that nice compared to earlier. That was in 2011 when I began posting latest movie watched on Twitter. Than due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to leave Wipro. And after leaving Wipro I began becoming a heavy user of Facebook. That continued for about mid-2012 when I deleted Facebook due to impending SAP Certification exam.
I also deleted Twitter and Linkedin. In Twitter, I deleted my posts first before finally deleting my account.
Than May 2013, I began a new Chapter when I opened Blogspot account and began posting here.
Now what I find that NDA-BJP has won the election and so I will refrain from posting anything related to politics.
I will not delete my blog. I know it is as simple as pressing a button. I know when I joined Wipro in 2006, I deleted my blog and the result was the Lebanon War, a massive war in which billions of dollars and thousands of lives were destroyed. Now I am fearful that if I delete my blog something worse will happen and I will hold myself personally responsible for this. Also, my blog has a 'wealth of information', which I may not be able to reproduce again.
So what will I do? Simple, I have decided not to post about politics in my Blog as long as NDA is in power. Anyway, I could not prevent them from grabbing power in the Center. I was powerless to stop them. So anything I do or write or post or blog now has no meaning as I can hope to achieve precious little.
Basically I am going the way of the Ostrich which hides its head in the sand. Somewhat like this:

But I will continue posting about the 'latest and last movie watched'.

Congratulations to Modiji

It is a fact that I did not want Modi to become PM. I was always a Congress supporter or a Secular Party leader supporter. In fact I wanted Rahul Gandhi to become PM. Also, I wanted him safe.
I feel that Rahul Gandhi did not become PM because Sonia Gandhi did not want his sons life to be in danger. Rahul Gandhi could have become PM in the fag end of UPA II. But, let us face it. Sonia Gandhi has lost a lot of her family members (her husband and mother in law and brother in law) due to politics. Now by becoming PM, Rahul Gandhi would have come directly in the radar of the Hindu nationalists and others (we do not how many) and they might have bumped him off.
Also, Congress did not want Manmohan Singh to be pushed to the sidelines after serving for 8-9 years. Hence, he was to leave after completion of 2nd term. If Congress would have won then Rahul could have become PM in a new manner.
My message to Rahul, "Stay safe pal, We know what you are capable of. Do not let the defeat get into your head." I guess India was not ready for Rahul. I will say let India try out Modi. I am sure he will be nowhere close to what Rahul could have been. Like they say, "Tum yahi chahte thay, ab bhugto". Means "you wanted this only, now you face the consequences".
But, in a detached sense, I feel we do not need a PM who is fearful of his life, it is as simple as that. India needs a 'fearless' PM and leader. I feel Modi is that fearless kind of guy. But I still stand by my words that minorities and secularists and people not adhering to his or their (BJP/RSS) views have a lot to fear of Modi.
But let me take this opportunity to congratulate him.
In the coming days and months it will be known what they carry out. Yesterday, I saw that Rajnath Singh was sitting beside Modi and reading in English. I for one have never seen Modi read or speak in English. I hope the world is ready for this. But it is better. This fact I like about Modi, the fact that he gives more emphasis to Hindi than English apart from his mother tongue of Gujarati. I like people who give more emphasis to their 'home language' than some 'foreign language'.
We do not want 'thieves like people' who sweet talk in English and loot the country in the process. There are always translators available at 'beck and call' who can do the translation work.
I hope for this reason alone Modi stays in power for 20 years.
Once again, congratulations to Modi. And as I see it. His mere presence is enough. He does not have to do anything. Other people will do the work. Modiji your task is to just honour the surroundings by your presence and provide words of inspiration to the people to carry out the job.

Limitation of WWE

This post is to point out a serious limitation of WWE.
WWE wrestling matches provide a good entertainment option and way to pass time. But the fact is, is it healthy? What I feel it does not lead to development of 'grey matter' in the brain.
It makes a brain not 'intellectually inclined. In other words it makes the brain kind like hollow or rather it makes it filled up with material not conducive to the personal growth of an individual.
What I have decided from now onwards I will not watch those matches 'religiously'. It is okay if I get a chance to watch those matches, then I will not let go of these. But if there are more important tasks at hand I will lay emphasis on those tasks.
I will not download and watch those matches. I will watch them on Ten Sports.
But I find a serious flaw in WWE. Fact is that the people who fight there are WWE Superstars. And WWE has an inherent benefit in keeping them 'alive and kicking'. It cannot hurt them.
Contrast it with earlier what used to be gladiator matches like in Ancient Rome. People used to fight till death. Even now many wrestling matches or boxing matches or UFC matches would be more genuine than these WWE matches. This WWE is nothing but a well packaged affair so as to provide entertainment to the millions and millions of followers around the globe.
So God forbid if anything serious happens to any of its current stars it would be huge loss to the WWE organisation. Thus it takes care to ensure that matches are 'little bit staged'. People will not get hurt so much so that they may not be able to compete in future.
I can give example, how yesterday in Extreme Rules, Daniel Bryant emerged winner only to be shown that he would be meeting Kane in next match to be held in June 1. Thus WWE has an interest to 'generate this interest' in its followers so that they come back for 'more and more'. They get revenue from this through Pay-Per-View and sale of tickets.
When it wants to 'retire an ageing star' it does so. Like in the case of 'Nature Boy' or now we can see happening in the case of 'John Cena'. But this is nothing new. Old will have to move and give way to the new. It is a part of life that new stars will replace the old and ageing stars. The fans also keep getting newer and newer. Many old fans will 'grow old' and their interests will change.
Anyway, yesterday I saw WWE Vintage show a character named 'Bab Bam Bigelow'. I remember it from my childhood. When initially cable TV came to India along with MTV and CNN, we could also see WWE shows. Due to 'getting more and more involved in life', I had forgotten all about WWE and not watching it. Part of the reason was that I knew or I felt deep-down that these matches were staged. But certain things cannot be staged I realise now. People will get old and that includes WWE Stars and they have to make way for the new.
They may not fight till the end like in Colosseum days but they will fight and newer and newer fights till they are old enough not to keep the audience entertained anymore and then it is over for them.
If we look at it that way, Bigg Boss is a 'step ahead'. As we know that one person would be getting eliminated every week. Also, cricket also provides 'instant gratification'. As a person who is out is 'gone'. If he is not 'gone permanently', he is actually 'gone from the game on that day'.
But WWE matches the opponent can be back and WWE Enterprises thrives on that. It is newer and newer matches with 'known and famous' faces/stars which keep it growing.

5 movies

Over the last few days I have watched 5 movies.
"The Thing" 2011 movie on HBO.

"Chatur Singh 2 Star" 2011 movie on Zee Cinema.
"O Teri" on Tata Sky Showcase.
"Gang of Ghosts" on Tata Sky Showcase.
"English Vinglish" on Zee Cinema.
All movies are okay and I enjoyed those movies.

Tata Sky vs Videocon D2h (contd.)

Videocon had a channel called as "D2H Cinema". There were two additional channels called as D2H Movies 1 and D2H Movies 2. Thus it had three movie channels unique to it. For D2H cinema channel it used to take additional Rs 60 per month. And it that channel only latest movies were getting shown. But the number was limited to one new movie per week which means four movies a month.
Now in Tata Sky, we have showcase. Actually there are five showcase channels which show five different movies. And it is activated only for the day in which the movie is ordered and money is deducted from the main account. It is like Dish TV Movie on Demand Channel. From August 2008 till February 2010, I did have Dish TV connection. In Dish TV also, the movie would get activated for 24 hours only. While in Tata Sky, the movie would get activated for that day only.
The Showcase movie channels though more expensive is better according to me. Tata Sky Showcase has the potential to show 5 movies * 4 weeks which is 20 movies per month whereas Videocon D2H shows only 1 new movie per week which is 4 new movies in a month.
But Tata Sky Showcase "can show new movies" but the fact is it doesn't. Many are repeats and you have to watch it in same day. Videocon D2H 'guarantees' 4 new movies in a month and it never goes off. But the number is less. In other two channels D2H Movies 1 and 2, mostly repeats are being shown.
In addition the above, there are other movie channels like Zee Cinema HD and Star Gold HD in addition to English movie Channels like Star Movies and HBO. But these channels are common in all DTH platforms.
Coming back to my connection, there was a bit of a problem in Videocon D2H on Friday i.e. last Friday. On Saturday I found out that there was no signal. Absolutely no channel was getting received. Since, ours was an independent antenna and the cable came all the way from 14th floor to the ground floor, plus I had more than 500/- worth of currency in the account of Videocon D2H, first I requested for service. Then within an hour I requested for termination and surrender of the connection.
Parallelly, I ordered for 2nd Tata Sky Connection.
Tat Sky as per schedule came and fitted the connection. Videocon D2h call first it came from Mumbai and inquired what the issue was. I told them everything that I had separate antenna and Tata Sky common antenna and other things that I wanted termination and so on. The next call came from local Videocon office that I could surrender the connection and the person would be coming to take away the Antenna+Cable+Set Top Box. The third call was from Videocon Noida office that 'surrender is not possible' and the entire set is our property and it can be given to anyone we like.
The fourth call was from the person who was to dismantle the connection. And after going to the roof and pulling the cable from the duct, the job was done and I handed the box over to him and Videocon ceased to exist for me. Actually, when Tata Sky fellow fitted the second connection, Videocon ceased to exist for me. I had already put the set top box in the original packaging which I had retained. Though I had 500/- worth of currency i.e. 1 month of connection money, I still had no hesitation in handing over the connection to the Videocon guy.
All the four calls I received, all of them told that no refund is possible. I had to counteract by saying that I do not want refund. But since the caller from Noida had said that 'no surrender' is possible to the company probably the local Videocon guys took the box and the set and it can be 'sold' to someone. Anyway it is not my issue anymore.
Earlier also I had Dish Tv from August 2008 till February 2010. In Feb 2010, we changed houses and I abandoned the Dish TV connection and box in my old house. We had common antenna at that time for Dish TV. But I had recharged Dish TV upto at least July 2010. At least 4-5 months of currency was lost in the process. Later on in early 2013, I simply threw away the Box. And after I had thrown away the box, I still used to get mails from Dish TV and at that time I realized that my account was still active and so I sent mail to them to terminate the account as I was no longer their customer. Then they terminated the account as I am not getting their mails anymore.
I also had a Beetle Receiver which was enough to receive Free to Air Channels (FTA) of DD i.e. Doordarshan Direct Plus. That connection was such that no subscription amount was needed to be paid. I used it intermittently in the year 2005-06 and 2007-08 for a period of about 12-14 months. Actually I did not need it once I had Dish TV in August 2008 as Dish TV was already showing the DD Channels. But I threw the box when I shifted house in February 2010 while cleaning the cupboard.

Tata Sky vs Videocon D2H

Friends over this past week a lot happened. But one of the main things was that I removed my Videocon D2H connection. And I already had taken 1 Tata Sky connection in Feb 2014, I took a second connection of the same.
Hence, now I have two connections of Tata Sky. And all the DTH providers provide a 'subsidized' second connection. They provide that what connection you have for the first connection, the same would get reflected in the second connection. And the price would be less than half.
In January 2014, I tried to take 2nd connection of Videocon D2h. What happened the person came and saw my connection and told that in one cable two signals cannot come. You can have one dish for the same but cable have to be two to enable two boxes to function independently.
Since I stayed in Ground floor of a 12 storied building and in our building we have common antenna for Tata Sky and Airtel but not of Videocon. My own antenna was Videocon and it was a personal/independent one.
This Videocon Antenna and connection was a legacy from my previous home where I had fitted the same and then requested for relocation service.
But starting December 2013, Videocon D2H signal was getting 'disturbed' occasionally and by late January 2014 many Hindi entertainment channels and movie channels were not operating. It was then I called for the Cable operator but he was not sincere in fitting the same. Twice he came a went away and was only doing 'delaying tactics'. So I ordered Tata Sky. Tata Sky had a reputation in our building and the staff in our society used to say that if you call Tata Sky they would come in 1 hour and do the job. And the same thing happened. Once I placed the order, within two hours he came and fitted the connection.
But it was like 2nd connection in Bedroom.
My main connection was in the drawing room and it was Videocon D2H. In the month of April, I had an idea and shifted the connection of Tata Sky from bedroom to the drawing room. What happened that wiring was connected in the hall from where the wire went inside to the bedroom. So it was just a case of interchanging the wire.
Thus I had Videocon D2H in the bedroom and Tata Sky in the main room and amazingly, Videocon D2H worked just fine in the bedroom. The same continued for about two months. Meanwhile, my Videocon D2H account was getting expired soon. I went online and downgraded the package and so on. But still I had to 'top it'. Once I topped it with 300/-, then I got the message that my monthly pack cost was 490/- but I topped it for 300. So next time, I topped if for 600/-. So addition to what I paid earlier, I had topped the Videocon D2H account with 900/- rupees. (contd. in next post)

Cancer feeds on Flesh/ 2 movies

A lot of people all around the world would be observing the phenomena of cancer. Cancer is a life-threatening situation where people usually die after a long or short 'gestation period'.
I am no expert and am not involved in any cancer research and also do not read a lot of articles on cancer. But from my own personal experience I can point out what cancer is like.
I feel and all are what discussed here is what I feel as obviously I would not have any empirical evidence to back it up.
I feel that the elements which cause cancer are always prevalent in the environment surrounding us. It is all around us and inside us. Our body usually has the means to 'fight it off'. But when the problem gets something kind of 'unmanageable' or 'incomprehensible to the body's defense mechanisms' it becomes cancer.
Sometimes our body gets weak due to either injury or surgery or some other reason and at that time the forces which cause cancer raise their head and our body cannot deal the way it normally has and it leads to growth of the evil in the body. I will say the cancer is something which is black and the forces which fight this are 'white'. It is no coincidence that the body's defenses are called 'white blood cells'.
Thus black is darkness. Black is evil. Black is the color of death and the color of the night. Cancer is black. Cancer is the doom and black is doom. We should all always be inclined towards white.
If we see the movie "Jurassic Park" we can see that they say that 'life will always find a way'. What they have shown in the movie is that they made the dinosaurs as of one sex so that they could not reproduce and multiply but it happened because 'life will always find a way'. Similar is the case with cancer. With Cancer which originates in the body with the interaction with immediate environment it is always a 'way out' for the body. Cancer though results in the host getting destroyed in the process, Cancer by itself is 'life'. It is like a 'life within a life'. It is 'growth inside' the human or animal in question.
Now a normal cancer 'feeds on flesh'. It feeds on a person who will eventually die. Cancer often spreads from one part of the body to another a phenomena known as 'metastasis'. Thus it feeds on a person. Chemotherapy is a form of treatment which is given to kill the cancer cells but side effect is that other normal and healthy cells would also get affected and die.
Anyway we are talking about this hunger of cancer and its need to feed on flesh. Here I would like to say that we can eat meat, we can eat beef, mutton, pork, chicken, fish, liver etc. What will happen of this? Like I have said. Cancer is already near us. For some it may be already inside their own bodies. For others it will be somewhere close. And since cancer feeds on flesh, we can have flesh in our diet and 'feed the cancer inside us'. The feeding of flesh which we do ourselves will in turn feed the cancer inside us and the 'cancer inside us' will not attack the host i.e. us. Thus cancer will not attack the living host if it gets its diet (of meat) from an external source i.e. from the mouth of the host themselves in the form of flesh.

Meanwhile watched 2 movies. "Besharam" and "Chor Chor Superchor". Both movies are okay to be watched once.

Attack in Bangladesh

Today I read that Bangladesh garment factory 1 year anniversary was held.
I would like to say that this garment factory fire was an attack on Bangladesh industry by foreign forces. They want to cripple Bangladesh and beg on its knees.
We do not know exactly who they are but we can say for certain that they do not want Islamic Bangladesh to grow.
We know that Bangladesh is a poor country. It cannot produce anything because area is limited and population is huge. In the present world countries earn maximum from Export. They turn out to be cheap manufacturing zones where product gets manufactured at low costs for consumption in West mainly Europe and North America.
The way for Bangladesh out of poverty is to take raw material and convert it into something more precious and then export so that it can earn valuable foreign exchange in the process.
But some in West and I would like to bring in the Jews or Zionist controlled foreign system was not satisfied with this. They wanted to 'interfere and bring the Bangladesh public and country' in their grasp. They also must have got the backing of Westerners who are pro-human rights and did not want the workers to engage in sub-humane conditions.
Lets face it. Workers work in sub-humane conditions but the important thing is that THEY WORK. Without work what can they earn or do for livelihood. We have heard a saying, 'give a man a fish and feed him for a day and teach a man to fish and you feed him for lifetime'. Again, the important thing here is that we are not talking about fishing. It is 'manufacturing' which is a slightly 'higher version of work'.
The very same people want to finish of the Islamists in Bangladesh and that is why few were hanged by their ruling party. It was under the pressure of these foreign forces.
What many do not emphasise is that the fires last year in Bangladesh factories were an act of sabotage. Same way people start forest fires, some people destroyed the factories by starting the fires.
Basically the areas were congested anyway. People work in cramped conditions. There is no fire safety measures. Why? Because Bangladesh is way to poor to afford that. So what to do. Start a fire and then wait for casualties and then slowly destroy the will of the people to work.
No doubt the people who did this sabotage could be foreigners or could be locals who given few bucks by the foreigners would have carried out that. It will be a massive conspiracy which will never be unearthed. It will be never brought into focus by the Jew-Controlled Press. The people who started this fire did not know whether the casualties would be 100 or 200 or 1000. Their aim was to hit at the heart of Bangladesh which is industry and cheat away its earnings and make it forever a 'stooge' of their agents like World Bank and IMF.

Lake Encroachment in Bangalore

People I have seen total ruin of Bangalore in past several years. There is destruction of lakes, green cover is lost and temperatures have soared.
This is due to the land mafia. The same people who wanted a project like Hosur Road flyover in operation, like kind of same people are encroaching upon the lakes.
There is a history of that and we can see it repeating area after area in Bangalore.
I remember in 2006 May, I saw a program on NDTV channel and Anil Kumble was on the talk/discussion kind of program and he was telling as the USP of Bangalore  and I will reproduce his words, "In which other major city can you wear a jacket in the month of May?"
It so happened that even in the month of May the temperatures were very low in Bangalore. I know from my own experience that Bangalore had similar kind of temperature around the year. It was neither too cold in winter nor too hot in summer.
But since two-three years is becoming hotter and hotter in Bangalore in summer. Earlier it used to be April-May and then March-April-May and this year the 'hotness' started from February onwards.
Initially when I came to Bangalore in 2004, I remember every alternate day there used to be rain. And now last year also the rain was okay but not the year before that. Let us see what this year holds in terms of monsoon and stuff. If rains fail, it will not be just Bangalore which gets affected but entire India.
Also, I remember that mist used to form quite regularly and now formation of mist/fog has become rarer.
Encroaching of lakes usually happens in a big wetland where there is begun the system of dumping of waste. This waste is usually the "demolition wastes" which consists of bricks and mortar and other construction material. Slowly and slowly the dumping goes on increasing from few truckloads to hundreds of truckloads. The traffic police must usually be getting bribe to turn a blind eye to this. Also, much dumping would be happening in the 'dead of the night'. After several months we will find the wet land which usually would be a very huge area with green water plants and all would go missing and all would be visible is a small patch of water body which obviously would be barren as it would be unable to sustain life.
Then the people will rise to the occassion and only a small patch of waterbody will remain as a lake when much of the waterbody is irreversibly lost. Then construction activity will commence after putting metal boundaries by some builder. In a few years time we will find tall buildings standing where once there used to be green covered wetlands.
It is unfortunate. I am unable to find the words to describe such a horrendous operation in progress. Many times police and politicians are hands-in-glove with this and they will have their own "share" in this. All permissions will be obtained through 'whatever means necessary'.
Many areas in North Bangalore, South Bangalore and other areas would be under the grip such kind of operation. This is Mafia Raj.
Growth of Bangalore has its share of this destruction. Recently also one article has come that Bangalore is a 'Garden City' only in name. Actually it is now an urban wasteland kind of situation.
In 2008, Bangalore got a new airport and then what came with it maximum width roads and flyovers. These flyovers are nothing but a way to make "trips of cars and buses increase". The more "runs a car or taxi or bus makes", the more is the heat generated and  same heat is 'dissipated in the environment' increasing the temperature.

Censorship in VH1/ 2 Movies

I would like to say that censorship of music videos on Channel like VH1 sucks big time.
It is "evil thing in motion" which does the censorship. I mean what kind of twisted mentality would be watching the music videos and then editing out the "objectionable content" and filling it with other portions from the video or pausing and making portion of the videos as slow motion.
It really makes me sick. We need to see a music video just as the way the director made it. I mean people can access music videos on Youtube or other sites anyway. And it is available in 'unedited format'.
But watching TV is something which is totally different. We just turn on the TV and sit back and relax. But watching on Internet/Youtube implies that we have to struggle to find our way.
But when we turn on a channel like VH1 and we find the videos edited it really pains me. Of what use is this life? The people who edit channel like VH1 are simply destroying our lives and the lives of the people who watch those channels. They are also "reverse spoiling" and entire generation of youth who do not get exposed to the actual music videos available around the world and watch a 'twisted version of reality'.
Sometime ago, VH1 was more and more telecasting the 'serials or reality shows' and less music videos. But recently it has restarted with music videos.
And now with censorship the telecast sucks big time. They censor the images of 'beautiful women in various poses of disrobe' as well as of 'kisses and hugs' in the videos. People are then forced to watch channels which show only Indian music and Hindi music and videos. It is 'lose-lose' option all the way. It may be 'win-win' only for the Hindi movie industry. I mean why can they not leave a foreign music channel alone. Why the censorship? Also they load the channels with ads often showing Hindi film stars and cricketers. Music should be enjoyed the way it was made. I like the MTV India of early 1990's or Channel V International. Even Rage on Australia Network is far better. Why not make VH1 and other international channels in the same fashion.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also I would like to tell that new Channel MTV Indies sucks big time. It is a failure from day 1. I reject it completely. I may be branded as 'out of tune of current generation' but I do not like it even 1%. It is totally waste.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Believe it or not, for my own (and others) viewing pleasure I have created two playlists on Youtube as below:
Australian Top 40
NRJ Top 30
This is because new videos and good videos and uncensored videos are not available anywhere where I just have turn it on and sit back and relax. There is problem in the above also. I need to update it time and again and also watching on Laptop is not the same as watching on big screen TV.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile watched two movies. "Gullu Dada 3" on Youtube and "Three Stooges" on Star Movies HD Channel. Both movies okay but Three Stooges is definitely far more superior and is highly recommended.

Ethnic Discrimination/ Hindu terror/ 4 movies

Even in big companies there is ethnic domination by certain peoples. What I found in previous company which was Wipro, I found that Bengalis and Tamils dominate the scene.
This is inspite of the fact that the company may claim that they are 'very open' and do not discriminate and so on.
And I faced discrimination due to that fact that I am from Odisha and do not know Bengali or Tamil. Basically, what happened that I did not get promotion and in fact just before I left the company in late July 2011, I was demoted. You can know 'your demotion status' from whom you report to and how many people are there between you and the ultimate boss who is the Chairman or CEO as the case may be.
When I joined the company in June 2006, I joined in Internal Audit department and the boss of that department was a Tamil person. He too discriminated against me. And I was about to leave the organisation due to his antics but was saved due to last minute to transfer to another division in November 2006.
There I was reporting to a Bengali guy and then he did not give me ample scope for growth and I began to report to another Tamil person who did not know Hindi but it was okay inspite of no promotion after three years and then I began to report to another person who was actually a Keralite but was well versed in Tamil.
Thus what happened that I saw that if you are not of "Bengali ethnic background" or do not know Tamil language there is no scope for you in that company.
It is the only Limited company I have worked in and 'discharged my duties in'. I have not worked in any other company and hence cannot comment on others. But I can definitely say that about my ex-company.
If you are Bengali then you find a lot of 'bonding with fellow Bengalis' and often you are in a position to choose who you want to work with. Similar is the case with knowing and speaking Tamil language.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hindu terror is coming. As the destructive Press is reporting that Modi will win the elections and then after that there will be Hindu terror across the land of India. Already one associate of Modi has told supporters of Modi that Modi opposers should be sent to Pakistan. In Nazi Germany also similar kind of thing happened, when they were unable to send the minorities to abroad they must have ethnically cleansed them. If Holocaust actually happened, then similar fate awaits the Muslims in India. When Hindus of India will be unable to send Muslims to Pakistan they will ethnically cleanse the land of them. Our current President Pranab Mukherjee has made his 'Hindu intentions' clear when he hanged Ajmal Kasab and Afzal Guru immediately after he became President. So far no other non-Muslim of death row has been hanged. Now with Hindu nationalists BJP and RSS gaining power in Center along with hardline Hindu President, I would say not only Muslims, all ethnic minorities and Secularists need to fear for their future. And if these people live in terror it means that people who cause that terror are the true terrorists.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the way it was good that I left my previous company in July 2011. Because as I have discussed above, Tamils and Bengalis dominate the scene over there and with a Bengali Hindu becoming President of India in July 2012 my life would have become a living hell. I will say what happens is(/was/will happen) for the good.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile last few days I have watched four movies. What happened on Tata Sky I subscribed to HD channels 'HBO Defined' and 'HBO hits'. These channels show HD English movies mainly and it is without any break. These two channels are not available on Videocon D2h. I personally feel that movies should be watched that way without a single break. Movies watched are as below:
"Total Siyappa" on Videocon D2H
"Warm Bodies", "The Emperor" and "Rise of the Guardians" on HBO HD Channels.

Voting

I must confess that I have never voted in my entire life.
I mean I just saw my Voting I-Card and it is dated 3rd November 2009.
I mean I suppose I could have voted in this 2014 elections in my native place of Odisha.
Earlier to 2009, it could be possible that I did not have a Voting I card but I had my name in Electoral Rolls.
Though I have stayed in Bangalore for about 10 years now and I have stayed in Hyderabad for 2 years and in Mumbai for 4 years, the maximum I have stayed is in Bhubaneswar. I can split 36 years of my life as below:
Mumbai - Stayed for 9 years
Hyderabad - Stayed for less than 2 years
Chennai - Stayed for less than 1 year
Bhubaneswar - Stayed for 16 years
Bangalore - Stayed for 10 years and still staying here.
I turned 18 in 1995 and 1996 onwards I could have voted in elections. At least 2014 I could have.
There was also the system where we SMS our Voter ID number and we get SMS reply back having details of Polling booth and stuff. I sent that SMS and got reply as well.
I guess if I don't vote I am in majority.
In fact I will say that a minuscle percentage would be voting. We can see data that 50-60% or even lesser sometimes would be voting.
Earlier a lot of people were excluded from "exercising their franchise". It was permissible in Colonial times where the voting was done abroad by "controlling Parliament" like in the case of British India where Parliament of Great Britain dictated most of the policies for India. Or it was permissible in Aparthied era South Africa where whites controlled the country.
Even in present day developed countries, females were excluded from 'right to vote'.
It was justified I feel. A few people who matter voted and then the Govt. was decided. And now there is "universal suffrage", And  I will say it leads to "universal suffering".
It could be recommended that only few 'intellectuals' can vote and decide like in the case of Supreme Court where few judges gather and decide the future outcome of cases.
Anyway, I did not vote and compared to earlier I am feeling sad about it. Earlier I was least interested. Now also I am only interested "for the experience". I do not want it as my power to exercise my right or te elect a Govt. of my choice. Only the fact that I 'missed the experience' I am feeling sad.
But many people will not be voting and I join their category.
In addition to the registered and genuine voters who did not vote, we have,the following
-->Citizens of other countries cannot vote and that will include Population of the World minus Population of India. These people are ineligible to vote in Indian elections anyway.
-->People who are not of voting age. At least 40% of India would be that young.
-->People who are 'gone'. Death is an ultimate reality. People who leave the Planet and their lives never to return can never vote. I can at least vote in next elections provided I survive for that. But people who are gone can never do so unless they cross voting age in next birth (rebirth).
-->All species apart from human. These include billions and trillions of life form who are not human and hence cannot take part in elections anyway.

Bigg Boss Vs Wrestling Vs IPL

Friends now I am in a position where I have watched one full season of Bigg Boss and at least 3 seasons of IPL and today when IPL 7 is about to begin I must say that there is something else which is far more interesting than both Bigg Boss and IPL and that is Wrestling.
Yes people I am watching Wrestling these days.
Last week I watched Wrestlemania 30. It was on in Ten Sports Channel and was from 6:30 PM till 11Pm. I will say watching those wrestling matches is far more interesting than cricket or Bigg Boss.
All are like reality TV and though some say Wrestling matches may be fixed or 'orchestrated' I guess it is okay. Better to watch such kind of 'orchestrated sports' than real sports where entire matches "might be fixed" or TV serials and movies which are played by actors anyway.
Wrestling was being telecasted by Satellite Channels since 1990's when Cable and Satellite made a way into peoples homes. It was through WWF which is now WWE. In addition to WWE there is TNA Wrestling and UFC Championship as well as Boxing matches. All can be watched.
I used to watch it occassionally though due to my 'raging hormones' I was more into MTV and other stuff which provided 'fodder for the senses'.
Now when adult stuff was unavailable on TV due to strict laws passed by Govt. and MTV became "Hindi-ised" and much foreign stuff was not available on TV anymore, I turned to internet where I used to watch movies and not TV programs. Actually my life became like that. 8 AM-7 PM was usual office time. It was always more, never less. After returning home, I used to have just enough time to watch an English movie as English movie was of lesser duration. And then go to sleep.
I never could watch wrestling even if I had the desire and inclination. There was never enough time.
Then I got married and then after my job I did SAP Finance Course. During this time also, I did not have any 'luxury time to watch TV'.
Then we had two TV connections which I got cancelled due to SAP Exam and then we had one which usually was occupied by my wife. So I was spending time on Laptop (Broadband Internet). recently just last month, we took another connection and that was Tata Sky in addition to Videocon D2H.
Then I took package in which in addition to base package we had HD channels active in Videocon D2H. What I found that four were Sports HD Channels and it was there that I watched Wrestling and liked it.
Trust me people, this Wrestling is far (100 times) better than Bigg Boss. What happens Bigg Boss is watched on Internet and usually a Medium Quality video. But we can watch Wrestling on Full HD on TV. And that is better. Bigg Boss also is like a "dysfunctional house", it is not a normal house. Also one cannot touch anyone there in anger and only way fights happen is through mouth and that is also 'censored'. That is in contrast to Wrestling where full contact happens.
IPL one can watch but again one can watch highlights on Internet and that will be a good way to save time. I feel Wrestling is good way to spend time and time well spent.

What We Eat

I know a lot of people eat Non-Veg.
Now non-veg consists of meat, fish and eggs.
Meat consists of pork, beef, mutton and chicken, mainly, additionally there may be duck, rabbit, pigeon.
Fish consists of crab, prawns and fish both freshwater and saltwater.
Eggs is purely a poultry item and comes from chicken.
Now my question is what do we eat?
More specifically do we eat a male or female of the species?
Why I thought about this?
Well I read this article on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_slaughter_in_India
And then what I thought about it.
As I have told earlier that I eat beef sometimes here in Bangalore but only in hotels. I do not bring it to the home or cook it myself. I leave the job of cooking to the experts who are the hotels and trust them that they are doing a great job. At least they make it taste good.
In the above article what I found that male cattle, i.e. bullocks and male buffaloes and females beyond procreation age can be slaughtered easily. But it is not that easy to slaughter cows who are of prime age.
From the article I read that in abroad, cows as young as 3 to 4 year old are being slaughtered but in India in most states where cattle slaughter is permissible, they have to be 12 to 15 years old.
And most of the beef could be buffalo or oxen meat and not cow meat.
Which made me think. Is the meat I am eating coming from a male or female.
We can say that almost all chicken meat would be female meat. Because male of a chicken is known as rooster and rooster cannot lay eggs.
Thus I will say as below:
Almost all chicken people eat would be female.
Most pigs or rather pork would be female.
At least 50% of lamb and goat will be female. We do not know exactly.
At least 50% of fish would be female.
But we can say that in India less than 50% of the beef would be female. The beef which comes from cattle (both buffalo and cow) would be overwhelmingly male.
I know from experience that in those beef hotels 99% of the public which comes to eat there is male. I have very rarely seen women or girls going into these hotels and eating beef. Thus we can say that males are eating males of the species. And females are avoiding eating the male cattle.
But see who are eating chicken. Chicken is the "seasoned choice of non-veg food" in India and maybe around the world. Chicken is available in all non-veg hotels and malls across the length and breadth of the city. Because chicken is available in plenty and will not face any religious objection from any religion.
So what we can say that all people including females and males devour the meat of the female of the species of the bird which is the chicken. And they love it. They have in McDonalds and KFC and with kids and grand parents.
Now we do not know where or from which animal the meat has come. What is the source and what was the age of the animal. Chicken usually comes from farms where they are mass-produced and so we can say with 90-99% certainty about its origin. Rest of the meat the certainty goes on decreasing.
Maybe lesser for pig as pig suppliers are known to the shop owners and mutton which is usually slaughtered in the shop where it is sold. But for beef the origin will remain a mystery. Was it male or female? Was it a cow or buffalo? Maybe experts can tell it from the taste. But I can't. Where it comes from will be a mystery?
The trick is to not think about it and enjoy the food, the taste and smell. I sincerely think that since the meat I am eating is in Muslims hotel those would be "Halal meat" (slaughtered or obtained in 'decent manner') and not from diseased or dead animals which would be 'Haram' i.e. not permissible due to religious restrictions.
But I will say finally if you want to avoid meat, you should avoid all meat and not just beef or pork. Pork additionally has the label of being 'unclean' as the hog will 'eat anything'.
But still we do not know what diet much of chicken is having. Or if differs from farm to farm.

3 movies

Yesterday, i.e. in 1 day I have watched 3 movies.
"Toonpur Ka Superhero"
"Singh Saab The Great"
and "Chillar Party".
All three movies were enjoyable and good way to pass the time.

Priyanka vs Rahul: Press

The biased and the very divisive and destructive Press has found a new way to attack the Congress Party. It is pitting brother against sister i.e. Rahul vs Priyanka.
It does not matter to the Press how it is done. It wants Modi to become PM and it does not matter how it is achieved. The Press has already gone to great lengths to project Modi as the "best PM" India can ever dream of.
In fact for the Press, Modi as PM will be the best leader in the history of the World. The Press has gone to great lengths to project this. Now to Pitt brother against sister is a very small thing for them.
They don't care for either brother or sister. They want only the Congress Party to suffer and BJP to gain as a result.
The BJP also knows that Congress is the main threat to them. Rest of the Parties can be "tamed" if they emerge as a single largest party. Hence, they have adopted this strategy of 'divide and rule'.
In fact politics of hatred is visible even before BJP has assumed power. What will happen if it actually comes to power.
There will be "total elimination" of all Muslim elements including people like Omar Abdullah. BJP will not only target the 'poor Muslims' but will also 'strive to eliminate' the MP's and leaders who are Muslims or Muslim oriented.
Let us not forget Ehsan Jafri ex-MP who was murdered in cold blood in Ahmedabad in 2002 riots. Sort of similar future awaits the "rich and powerful" Muslims when BJP comes to power.
I would say that we had read that earlier British Rulers of India were pioneers of 'divide and rule'. Now we know that this strategy can be followed by all including "hardcore nationalist parties". They also follow 'divide and rule' policy. For them it is the shortest path to survival and revival and "thrival (act of thriving)".
We need to guard against this.
We need to realise that Modi is actually a "wolf in sheeps clothing". All those feeling 'lovey dovey' about Modi will realise the folly after they comes to power. There is going to be significant damage to the country both morally and physically.

First movie was "Humko Tumse Pya Hai" (2006 movie)
Next movie was "Dhadkan" (2000).
Both movies I liked. Typical Hindi/Bollywood movies. Enjoyable.

Jajiya/ Blood Donation/High BP

This is my second post for Jaziya. The first post was here. In my earlier blog, I had written that I was unaware about the system of Jaziya for the majority part of my life.
I can say with somewhat of confidence that I was unaware till 2009. Since 2009, though I was unaware of Jaziya for what it means in the Muslim context, I was aware that "we have to pay a price".
And that is not just Muslim or Hindu or Christian, it is applicable to all. As part of human race we have to pay our obligation, that is what I felt.
After windshield-incident, in May last week 2009, during which time I also had severe back pain I went to my native place and since my body was bent means I could not walk straight and then my mom and dad were deeply saddened by watching my condition and they took me to the Doctor and he began treatment for treating back pain. Side by side I also came to know I had high BP and then I began to take drugs for high BP. But I did not like being dependent on drugs and so innocently I thought, by donating blood my high BP condition will reduce. So I began donating blood.
Though according to law we can donate once every 3-4 months, I sometimes donated when it was lesser than 3 months. Actually I read in internet that in 56 days, blood recuperates and so I began the act of donation.
I donated nine times in Bangalore and twice in Bhubaneswar. The below album is attached
https://plus.google.com/photos/+AnupSabat/albums/6000915355741845169
Dates on which I donated in Bangalore is as below:
  • 25-Jul-2009
  • 19-Sep-2009
  • 12-Dec-2009
  • 04-Apr-2010
  • 26-Jun-2010
  • 02-Sep-2010
  • 06-Nov-2010
  • 22-Jan-2011
  • 10-Apr-2011
Then due to my mom's cancer, I went to Bhubaneswar in August 2011 and I donated there twice as below:
  • 27-Aug-2011
  • 10-Jan-2012
Thus 3 times I donated in 2009 and 4 times in 2010, thrice in 2011 and once in 2012. Earlier to 2009, I had never donated blood except once when I was in college in B.Com and that was in the year 1997.
After 2012, I have not donated blood even once. It is thus now more than 2 years 3 months since I last donated blood.
What happened, after April 2011, I went for infertility treatment where my sperm was found to be of inferior quality and that was due to not able to father a child after marriage in February 2010. And now it is April 2014 and I still have not become father and I am still into fertility drugs. While some drugs are to boost sperm quality, some are to boost virility.
But in April 2011, what I felt that is it because due to excessive blood donation that my sperm quality reduced we can never know.
I thought that as a human being I am dischaging my moral obligation by donating blood. Ultimately the blood I donate voluntarily will come in the work of someone.
Though the company I was working for had 'internal blood donation club' where people who required blood could ask for that and voluntaries from inside the company can help in achieving that, I never donated the blood through that. Most of the cases was 'walk-in' where I walk into a Blood bank at a famous hospital and ask them to take my blood. My choice was to be the 'anonymous blood donor' where I do not know where my blood is going and the other party also does not know where from it is coming from.
But the hospital will surely be charging for that though I gave it for free.
Now since February 2014, I am also taking high BP medication, namely Tazloc. It was after the Doctor warned me that my kidneys would get ruined if I lived continuously with high BP.
2009-2011, I though that I was paying in blood as 'tax' or 'Jaziya' for living as human being. I was paying the 'Jaziya' to other humans who were needy for a very precious commodity and that is human blood which can only come from another human. But my company still gave me harsh treatment and removed me or forced me to remove myself.
Guess paying the Jaziya/Tax in blood was not enough for my company.

Mulayam Comments

Now the Press has got a new target to attack. And that person is Mulayam. Yes what I read from the reports that Mulayam has said that it is wrong for 'death penalty to be handed over for an act like rape'.
For this now, press will leap and attack and now will not rest till the target is destroyed. I just hate the Press for this. Much like many cases before, the Press is like US/UK/France/NATO when it decides to attack.
They simply bomb the shit out of their enemies.
There is not much difference between the US led invasions and the Press.
The Press also does not care about collateral damage. Any person who reads the Press articles become their target and is collateral damage. He gets mentally damaged by the Press.
Tell me we can see many clips on internet. We have seen the act of "making love". These clips are what are known as 'porn clips'. In this we can see often many times it is a woman who initiates and does the act. Also, in almost all clips women are shown to 'enjoy the act'.
Now, we know several men are 'unable to sustain themselves' and hence medicines like Viagra and Penegra are available so that men can carry on gracefully during their act. [I have also taken these drugs to make myself effective and hence speaking through personal experience as well.]
It is well known that men who are able to rape are able to 'sustain themselves'. What the Press wants or the Female led Zionists want is that 'men who are being men' should die. They want men to unable to sustain themselves and they want men to get hooked to drugs for sustaining themselves.
Any person who is able to 'do the act' is like a 'threat to these Female Zionists' who fear for their dominance role in the society and hence 'should die' through death penalty or whatever.
For this reason only the Nirbhaya rape case was bombarded upon the hapless public by the Zionist controlled Press and tough laws were enacted to give death penalty for rape.
But tell me when is rape a rape and when is rape not consensual sex. Like is a man or woman or a boy or girl agree to have sex and then the girl changes her mind than it is forced what happens then? In that case what this Zionist Press will say that it is rape. But I will say it was consensual sex. Like we buy a ticket and then decide not to travel or watch the movie, the loss is yours and yours alone. You cannot ask for refund.
Similarly for rape case it is like that.
When it is rape and murder I agree for the death penalty. But punishing a man with death for only rape is like punishing a man for being a "man" or being a man able to 'sustain himself' or 'being skilled in the act of sex' or being virile. For these female Zionists and Press controlled by them, all men should be like impotent so that they can rule the world without any obstruction to their power.
Recently, we saw how in Mumbai, repeat offenders for rape were handed the death penalty. It is wrong. The girl ventured to a remote place. She was asking for it. A man who is impotent may not be able to do anything but a man who is virile will get motivated to do something. Thus we are punishing man for being virile and it is wrong according to me. I agree a man should channel his virility on 'constructive matters' and not for 'rape'. But giving death penalty is simply not acceptable.
Much like Viagra drug enhances the virility, there are drugs which reduce ones sexual drive. According to me these drugs can be given. Any other punishment like death or some suggest castration shows "Barbaric mentality" and we as a society should guard against it.

Modi/Azam

It has come in the news that Modi is married, I will ask what do Modi supporters have to say?
According to me it only goes to show that Modi is a big liar and was hiding the fact all along. And that only shows his character. It shows that Modi was a 'bachelor by choice'. Even when married he just 'got rid of his wife' and was leading celibate life by choice.
We do not know how his wife was separated but it is likely that he himself 'threw her out of his life' and I will say for what? For power and dominance and forcing his authority on hapless people. For running a campaign of 'hateful Hindutva' in which thousands of Muslims were massacred and millions of Muslims now live in fear.
For these hardcore Hindutva fanatics they will say that there is no place in India for them (Muslims). They will say that Muslims please go to Pakistan. And then these Hindus will only spread hate and propaganda that Muslim migrants from India are not respected in Pakistan and are known as 'Muhajirs'.
These double standards of these hardcore Hindus just drive me sick.
Modi is like such a hateful face of Hindutva personified.
Also Hindus from India divided Pakistan into what is now Pakistan and Bangladesh due to hatred for Muslims. And now they know 'poor country' Bangladesh has 'nothing new to offer' and hence their hatred is now directed towards Pakistan.
Modi if comes to power will spread hatred and anarchy across the land. He will not offer cushion that Vajpayee offered. Rather he will provide spikes like cactus.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile Azam Khan comment that Kargil was won by Muslims must be seen in context. What he was trying to say that "Muslims from India are for India and not for Pakistan and please Hindus don't brand Muslims from India as Pakistanis and want them to go to Pakistan. India has a lot to offer to Muslims and Pakistan has nothing to offer". Tell me is it that difficult for the Press to understand. Why can't they make out such a simple meaning? Rather they misinterpret it and go on harping over it again and again.
The Press do not want peace between Hindus and Muslims. Press is also guilty of dividing Hindus and Muslims. By being the 'very vocal but unofficial' mouth of Modi who has bought the Press with big money from Indian industrialists, the Press must be prosecuted for its task of 'divide and rule' by misreporting and misguiding and carrying 'hateful propaganda'.

Russia vs West

This is a new conflict which has emerged.
What happened earlier there was West and NATO and other side there was Soviet Union.
Ultimately it was West which won which happened with the fall of Berlin Wall and unity of Germany. West Germany just swallowed East Germany and East Germany ceased to exist.
Russia fell into bits, or rather old Soviet Union fell into bits and fifteen different countries emerged.
Initially Russia was on its knees and unable to do anything meaningful in this world.
West carried on its 'crusade of world domination' relentlessly. Countries after countries were invaded and occupied. Starting with Algeria, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Bahrain, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Libya among many other countries. Let us also not forget Serbia and Kosovo which were Russian allies.
But in 2013 August Russia took a stand against Syrian invasion. No longer it would tolerate Western hegemony and domination which involved killing millions of people in the name of 'liberation, freedom and democracy'. Then when things began to spin out of control in Ukraine, Russia took over Crimea.
Crimea is that region of the world where a Western alliance had fought severe war in the 1800's.
This shows Western countries are nothing but a bunch of goons or rowdies who come together to teach a lesson to one they don't like.
And let us not speak of Turkey, Turkey is also like a Western poodle dog and so is Pakistan. Both are in the laps of the West and NATO ever since the beginning of modern history. We can say Modern history began after 1945 i.e. end of Second World War.
My opinion- I am totally against Western hegemony. We are trained in school in English medium and hence English comes naturally to most of us in India. India was a colonial poodle of Britain or England and hence English is the major language here.
But given an alternate choice I will want to forget all the English and maybe learn a language like Russian or Chinese or Arabic or Persian and chart a new course for myself. What I mean to say that just because English is the only 'international' language we can converse in let us not think that we are same as the British or American. We are different or at least I can say that for myself.
Due to circumstances happened in past over which I had not control due to being a child I am fluent in English but I hate what present day West led by US and UK and France are upto.

Jaziya/ Experience in My Life

Jaziya is a form of tax which is payable by non-Muslims in a Muslim dominated society to make sure that they are able to continue their activities in a normal manner.
It is not applicable to Muslims because Muslims due to their religion are anyway obligated to contribute a portion of their wealth to poor and needy.
Non-Muslims are able to live on as Non-Muslims and enjoy all benefits accorded to Muslims by paying Jaziya.
Today, in Times of India paper one article/editorial has come out as to how in independent India, Muslims are the "guardians of secularism" in India and the system of Jaziya has turned on its head and now Muslims are paying Jaziya to maintain secularism in India and this Jaziya is their 'vote' or 'power to vote' or 'power to vote as a bloc'.
In my life I was unaware of the system of Jaziya for much of my student life. But now looking back I feel the fees we pay to get our education is like a Jaziya. Few months back I read an entry in Best gore site where Mark Marek had mentioned how there was a story about paying a coin to cross a river after death.

Pay a coin
This coin which is being paid to Charon is actually Jaziya. Though it is only "a coin" or one coin still it needs to be paid as we remain forever in trouble if not paid. But pay the coin and you are able to cross to the other side.
Also, in my life while doing work in my previous company, I used to go by bike or car and then due to work pressure went by bus. When we go by bus what happens we pay the conductor some money and then buy a ticket. This 'ticket' is also like Jaziya.
Later to avoid change problems means that the conductor demands change money and avoid payment daily, I took bus pass. The bus pass involved payment of money at one stroke and then travel for entire month without any payment provided you have the pass in person at the time of travel. This was Jaziya according to me. But my previous manager and the person who took my interview thought that I did not needed to pay Jaziya or they thought that payment by bus pass as Jaziya was not enough. I needed to give my heart and soul as well and hence they transferred me from Electronics City to M4 office located at Garvebhavipalya.
Just payment for Jaziya was not enough for me they thought.
If you look at that M4 office, it is located just below that big flyover. Check my blog entry.
Hosur Road flyover
That flyover is a 'paid flyover', in other words any person using that flyover needs to pay a tax which is like 'Jaziya'. I was supposed to work below that flyover and no need to pay any Jaziya but I had to suffer watching others moving around in cars and buses to-and-fro on that flyover after they paid the 'Jaziya'.
In other words I was put in position where I need not have paid Jaziya but I had to suffer watching others move around after they paid the Jaziya. I was denied the chance to pay the dues due by me which was 'Jaziya'. In other words I was to suffer indefinitely. Thus I left the organization.
Coming to think about it, if the flyover was free to use, I might not have left my organization. People not paying the 'Jaziya' but still using the flyover would have implied that it is Govt. which cares for them and does not 'suck them dry'.
Now looking back we can call the taxes we pay to Govt. as well as the 'Hafta collected shown in movies' is like Jaziya. While anything which Govt. collects is sanctioned by law and is legal others become illegal. Also with Govt. collecting so much, ordinary people often have no funds at disposal to pay any "Jaziya" elsewhere. The Govt. in turn ensures you are able to carry your activities normally.

BJP Manifesto

The BJP has come out with its manifesto and I feel the worst thing is the Ban of Cow Slaughter.
I feel that people should have the freedom to decide what they want to eat.
My Earlier Post
Also, even vegetarians are killing plants to feed themselves. Tell me is that not a sin. We also do not know if plants feel any pain or not. For all we know plants could be feeling pain when they are being cut and boiled.
If that is true than killing plants is even a greater sin than killing animals as plants are unable to protest 'acts of violence' against them.
They take the act of killing silently as they are thrashed around and husked, de-husked, processed, bagged, refrigerated and sold.
Why is no beef product available in McDonalds or in Malls or in Chinese restaurants in India. I feel this is denial of "Right to Food" or Right to Eat what we like. Do Chinese people not eat beef?
World over we can know that McDonalds or Pizza Hut or Chinese restaurants would be serving beef dishes. Why deny the choice to Indian people. Tell me will Indian people never get the chance to eat these items in posh malls. They will have to suffice with Chicken. Okay make Chicken available along with others. Let people decide what they want to eat.
In Bangalore, I find that only place where we can have beef is in Muslim areas and their restaurants. In any other restaurant it is simply not available. Why is it like that. I my earlier post above, I have outlined as to how the Christian community in India is being forced to consume pork which is one of the 'uncleanest of the animals'. This is only to avoid any friction with the majority Hindus.
And BJP if it comes to power will definitely want to force its Hindutva based agenda on the entire country. Like it has outlawed cow slaughter in majority of states where it came to power, it will do or try to do the same thing if it wins at national level. Tell me rather then outlawing it, one should regulate it and permit it to be done in a hygienic manner so that people are able to exercise their right to food or right to eat what they want.
