Tipu Sultan

I will say Tipu Sultan was a great man.
Tipu Sultan deserves all the respect in the world.
And what VHP/RSS(Riot Sevak Sangh)/BJP is doing is simply unacceptable.
They are opposing a man who was truly great.
He opposed the British and that was best.
Even now we read about Revolt of 1857 in schools. We are taught to accept that they were the first freedom fighters India had. But much before that there was Tipu Sultan.
He opposed the British and hence he was eliminated or killed by the British.
We can say Britain has been the enemy of Islamic societies over centuries.
It slowly but surely destroyed the Muslim Empires because it wanted to establish its own empire.
In the First World War it destroyed the Ottoman Empire and used Indian soldiers in that war.
India was under Britain under that time.
In the recent past it attacked Libya and earlier it attacked Iraq.
After Revolt of 1857 it ended the Rule of Bahadur Shah Zafar who was a 'titular head' only (as much of India was already split).
But we can say that without elimination of Tipu Sultan the concept of "United India" could not have arisen.
Hence, here lies the difference.
Do you support united India or do you support powerful Mysore State?
Because if you want Tipu Sultan to succeed then you are bellitting the efforts undertaken by the British who made all efforts to unite India.
But then you love the freedom fighters the ones which overthrew the British rule. And then you cannot but love and adore Tipu Sultan who put a tough fight to the British.
Anyway there is no reason for the BJP and RSS and VHP to oppose him. And that is they oppose him due to his religion. Hence they are extremely divisive people and should be avoided at all costs.

Paris Attacks

I will say Paris attacks has all the hallmarks of a Jewish backed or sponsored attack.
Jewish people want the whole world especially Americans and Europeans to scream out loud "I love Jews".
Americans are already in the pockets of Jews and Israel.
Now when Europe wants to go closer with Muslim World, that is simply unacceptable to Jews and hence they organise these kind of attacks.
They know France is all powerful and is the muscle of the European Union. Great Britain is in the fringes of the EU.
It is no coincidence that PM Modi of India who is Jew backed PM is in UK and then the attack took place.
Thus Israel wants to prove that it is the greatest when it denies rights to Palestinians.
And Europeans have no option but to love Israel and Jews and overrule the human rights and gross violations which Israel does.
It is important to know who your enemy is.
The enemy of the world is the one who is the enemy of the human race and human beings and does not have regard for human life. The enemy of the world carries out illegal occupation of lands and imprisons millions.
And that is Israel and Jews. Over decades they or their backed people have left entire societies and countries in ruin.

Bangistan

Watched this movie on laptop.
Again this movie is okay for a one time watch.

Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo

Watched this movie on the big screen. This movie is okay for a one time watch.
But I will say we have seen better movies over time.

San Andreas

Watched this movie on Tata Sky Showcase Channel. It is okay for a one time watch.
The movie is thoroughly enjoyable.

Bhaag Johny

Watched this movie Starring Kunal Khemu.
I liked the movie. Okay for a one time watch.
After watching this movie I thought, where would the country be if it was not for movies...
Or where would the world be if it was not for movies.

Time and Russian Plane Crash

What happened in Sinai was the Russian plane crash and now starting with UK even US has said that it could be a bomb which was in the plane and brought it down.
If this happened it was not due to so called "Islamic State" which is a creation of America and Israel anyway somewhere real somewhere imaginary. It could be real in Syria and Iraq and imaginary in Egypt and Afghanistan.
It is a good thing that Russia suspended the flights to and from Egypt indefinitely following this crash as it probably suspected that Egyptians officials or airport technicians could be involved and it is very likely.
Even if Al-Sisi the Egyptian President was not aware now after his visit to UK he would become conditioned by David Cameron and team.
Thus a big geopolitical game is going on where US and UK want Russia to fail in its attempts to restore order in the Middle East.
Russia which was earlier USSR suffered tremendously for decades when USSR collapsed and was left in the lurch to deal with the dynamics of the Capitalist Economy. All the while Bush senior and John Major and later Bush junior and Tony Blair had a field day in Iraq and started bombing and elimination of people in the Middle East through so called 'regime changes'.
But in Syria they faced roadblock and now all the damage done by them is being tried to be reversed by Russia. And they don't want Russia to succeed. So someone in their Govt could have arranged for attack of soft target like a tourist plane returning with Russian people from Sharm-al-Sheik.
Now Russia is a cold country. People there will try to go to a warmer climate like Sharm al Sheik. So will people from UK. People from US will have a lot of option like Hawaii or Bahamas or even Florida.
But Russian people found Sharm-al-Sheik to be perfect. But for more than 200 people that was to be their last trip. Due to some rogue elements in US and UK who are against Russia. Damage them and then put the blame on Islamic State even if that is a propaganda.
Al-Sisi will now play to the tune of his masters in US and UK. All the time Israel is dictating what is happening in the background.
But for the people who are gone one who will try to save them will be left wondering:
What if I could turn the clock back? What if the bomb was removed before the plane took off? What if the people took another plane or changed their return plans? All those people would be alive.
But these people in US and UK want Russia to fail in Middle East to hide their own failures in Middle East.
It is like "Indian crab mentality" now we can say this is "human crab mentality". As a human we are bound for failure due to this desire for the other to fail. Space travel is never possible due to this reason only.
We need to rise above our differences. And let truth prevail. We should not make lies as our policy.
"Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq", "Nuclear armed Iran", "Moon Landing",9-11 attack on WTC, 26-11 attack in Mumbai, "Six million dead in holocaust" so called "Islamic State stories" all are lies and those need to be avoided. Truth should be the guiding light.

Empire of The Sun

Watched this movie after recording it on Airtel HD plus box.
This is a timeless movie. I had never watched it and then after watching it I realised what a movie maker Steven Spielberg actually is.
We can say that a movie like "Nightmare at Elm Street" or "Night of the Creeps" is an 80's movie. Even Jaws we can brand like a 70's movie. Or we can brand 'Back to the Future' as 80's movie though it is made for the future but this movie "Empire of The Sun" made in 1987 is a timeless movie.
What do I mean by timeless? Timeless means that we can watch the movie a decade later or two decades later or even a century later we will still feel the movie was made yesterday.
And what about Christian Bale. I mean he has acted when he was maybe 10 or 12 years old. It is like he has shrunk in size. I mean he has undergone severe bodily change in "The Machinist". But if only actors could do this reverse their age.
Brad Pitt acted in the "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" where the person goes from old to young.
But this is what Christian Bale looked actually was when he acted in the movie.
I have also seen Christian Bale long back in "American Psycho". But I was never aware of this movie "Empire of the Sun" even existed.
The story is also superb. It shows how the British lost their eminence slowly but surely and Americans gained in importance. How Japan's dream of nursing an empire was laid to dust by American bombers which dropped the nuke bomb.
This is a timeless movie and I knew Steven Spielberg from the movies of Schindler's List and ET but I had never ever heard of this movie. This movie is a must watch according to me.
Ben Stiller is also quite young in the movie. The movie has certain scenes which are remarkable. Like when Bale surrenders to Japanese troops saying "I surrender" they mock him. But in the end when he surrenders to Americans they shift him to the home for orphans. It can make you wonder where is more freedom? Under so called free countries or under occupying forces?
You are no threat to occupying forces if you give no threat and that is a situation of maximum freedom. If you give resistance then you face their wrath. But in the "free societies", you are no threat if you want to become a part of their societies. If you want to 'go astray' the you face the heat because you become a threat.
Thus the so called free societies are ideal places to become 'sheep like' and not 'lion like'.

Far from the Madding Crowd

Watched this movie on Tata Sky Showcase. This movie is nice according to me. I liked it. The advantage of watching on Tata Sky Showcase Channel is that you can watch it again and again over the course of a day and then you get to like it.

Batman vs Robin

Watched the above animation movie on Tata Sky Showcase channel. Movie is okay for a one time watch.

Power of Pyramids

I feel there is certain power in the shape of a pyramids.
I thought about it after visiting Jaganath temple in Bangalore.
The God or deity is in the tallest tower as per below:

Basically, the temple is divided into four parts.
One is open courtyard and next are the three towers.
Among the three towers, the tallest one houses the lord. The smaller two house the visitors and the "bhakts" who have come for "darshan" and blessing from the lord.
If we look at the three towers they assume a sort of 'pyramid'. As we have seen throughout India, almost all temples are in the shape of pyramids.
Ancient Egyptians also made pyramids.
There is also meditation centers across the world which assume a pyramid shape.
But if we look at the image of the lord Jagannath inside the temple it assumes tremendous significance.

The lord has two eyes and they make a stare continuously.
The eyes of the Lord are like in an "Everlasting Gaze" which was a Smashing Pumpkins song by the way.
Inside the temple and inside the tallest tower of the temple the Lord assumes the power of a gaze plus have the power of the Pyramid.
There are many things which are in a mystery. But we know that the Lord is housed in the tallest tower due to some reason only.
It could some Alien or Extraterrestrial Intelligence as well, we just do not know. It is all a mystery.
In Islam depictions of God are not allowed simply because God does not represent anything what is available on the Earth. In Christianity also Christ is known and cross is known but God is not known. Churches also are similar in some aspects to pyramids. Even Masjids have a tall tower.
All of those try to reach out to something up above.
In earlier times, churches and Mosques used to be tallest buildings. Even now in many places in India, temples would be tallest in their towns or villages and people simply will not try to go beyond them.
It is okay we know that God Narayana showed his "Vishwaroopam" in battlefield of Mahabharat to Arjuna. Inspite of all depictions in history we know that only Arjuna and one who was narrating the tale to blind king Dasaratha, Sanjaya could see that because Lord had given them the power.
That "roopa" or image of God is one which cannot be seen in the Naked eye. And obviously it cannot represent anything existing on earth. I feel we all worship the same lord when we worship some lord.
The eyes are the route to experience things even in the case of animals as well as humans.
So the Lord has made a deity who is Lord Jagannath and given him eyes and he is housed in a tallest pyramid of a temple. And I feel there is certainly some power with the Lord in a situation like that.

Congress plus a Cow

I fully agree with recent comments made by Arun Shourie that this present BJP Govt. is nothing but Congress + A cow.
What it means that this Govt has nothing to offer. I mean nothing better to offer than what was already on offer by the UPA govt led by Congress.
And the cow implies that it carries out acts openly in the name of the "Holy Cow" which represents Hinduism.
Congress carried out the Cow acts in a hidden manner but this Govt. does it openly and so it is Congress+ A cow.
If in any state there is an alternate to this Congress and BJP, I feel people in that state should go for it.
And when it comes to between Congress and BJP/RSS(Riot Sevak Sangh), I feel Congress is the lesser evil.
By openly carrying out acts in the name of Hinduism, BJP/RSS is doing more damage to Hinduism than any outsider can ever dream to do.
They are destroying it from the inside like termites.

Bahubali the Beginning

Watched the above movie on laptop.
I will say it is a "brown Troy" movie or a "brown Exodus:Gods and Kings" movie.
While those movies are "White" this movie is "brown" and captures the essense of "Indian" culture.
Movie is left incomplete because there will be sequels. Two are certain to happen.
I feel this has the potential to be "Desi Star Wars" or "Desi Harry Potter" or "Desi Lord of the Rings".
It is too good quality for an Indian movie comparable to ones from Hollywood or Hong Kong.

Baby, Dil Dhadakne Do, Masti Express

Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.
All movies are okay for a one time watch.
Masti Express has shown auto race and I feel he attempted something which has not been shown before. What if there are no big stars. Movie is worth it.
Baby and Dil Dhadakne Do on laptop.
Masti Expree on Airtel HD+ box after recording.
