-----------------------

Facebook domineering presence

I will say Facebook over the years has innovated a lot. And it is due to this reason alone that it is able to push itself forward such that it wants to dominate the whole world through "Free Basics and things like that".
It is same thing as what I saw in Captain America Part 2 where the Hydra became S.H.I.E.L.D. and it wanted to dominate the world. Facebook works in similar fashion.
Basically Facebook wants to make people into sheep and I will say it is quite successful at that.
Now let me ask a question? How do we access the Net. It is either through Wireless or through Wired Network aka Broadband.
In Wireless there are private players and there are public players.
Similarly in broadband there are private players and there are public players.
Private players can consist of Tata, Reliance, Aircel, Airtel, Idea etc. I will say Facebook is hand-in-glove with these private agencies and they will do whatever Facebook asks. In public sector we have BSNL which is very huge but thing is it does not matter as I use Airtel.
How do I know this?
Well two days ago I deleted my Facebook account and the day I deleted my account everything worked fine in terms of broadband. I am using Airtel broadband. But yesterday and today the problem began and I was unable to access important/certain websites like Netflix, Moneycontrol, etc. Yahoo website was also slow/slower that other days. Google worked but not that fast. It took me quite sometime to figure out that Facebook would be behind this. And 2 hours back I typed facebook.com and lo and behold it was working fine. So, I though that this is the punishment that facebook is doling out to the users to try to leave them.
So I had no option but to reopen my Facebook account and then magically I find that websites have started working.
It is like Facebook is installing 'roadblocks' in your life and you are unable to move. Once you come back to Facebook these 'roadblocks' just disappear.
It is like in movies you see when one gang member wants to leave the gang then he is said "one who joins us can never leave", 'only way out is death' somewhat similar case.
Earlier Facebook used to take 30 days to delete the account and about 90 days to completely remove the account. Now a days it takes 14 days. Earlier people had the option of 30 days and it was a long time and someone could not have resisted and logged in and started using Facebook again.
But now 14 days is a short time but Facebook has got this check and balance to ensure that the person does not leave it. This check and balance is that it will target the internet connection of the person who "dares to leave it". It is thus "hands in glove" with the telecom companies.
Thus my summary will be as below:
  • Nowadays if you join Facebook and try to leave it it is not possible because Facebook will go after you and target you at a very personal level.
  • You will not be able to use Internet as many websites will not work.
  • It is simpler for Facebook to target you if you are using desktop/laptop as bugs can be planted quite easily.
  • Even 'open' softwares like Mozilla are not quite safe because Facebook has people everywhere. Thus Google and Netflix and Yahoo are big organisations which are already in cohorts with Facebook. Even  the so called 'free' organisations are 'infiltrated by these' Facebook agents.

Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene, Balls Out, Captain America 1 & 2

Watched four movies as mentioned in the subject line.
"Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene" was watched on Airtel Digital TV+ Miniplex HD channel after recording on Pen Drive. Movie is okay for a one time watch.
-----------------------------------------
Balls Out was watched on Netflix. Movie is okay for a one time watch.
-----------------------------------------
Captain America 1 & 2 was watched back to back on Star Movies HD channel.
Captain America 1 was First Avenger and it shows how Captain America got developed as an experiment fallout. I will say Captain America is great movie. But he cannot die of old age. He can regain his health and cells can regrow but they should not be expended so fast that he is not able to regrow them.
Captain America 2 was Winters Soldier and also enjoyed it. I feel a 'mini-civil war' is already shown in the movie.
Cannot wait for Captain America 3 as a result of this back to back watching.

University of Hyderabad case

This chap who committed suicide in University of Hyderabad was murdered. It is very painful for me to read a suicide letter. In fact there were various links on websites where his suicide letter was there and the fact of the matter is I feel revulsion and could not even read one line of it. A person who is "dead and gone" and reading his last words is very painful to me. I do not have words to express how I feel. I feel as though something very close to me has gone and I just cannot reconcile myself to this and thus I change the website and go somewhere else. Why do people have to die? One may question. I know people will say suicide is bad and stuff but when you don't give people options they have no option but to do suicide.
  •  Like in Second World War, Japanese soldiers and pilots will return from the front to their generals and commanders and they will say "why did you come back?" you should have died trying. You go back and die. then they go back and become "Kamikaze" which means suicide pilots. 
  • In Holiday movie they show a scene where a corrupt/traitor police officer is caught by the hero. Then the hero will tell "you commit suicide or else I will kill you. If I kill you you will be branded as a traitor as I will expose your links and your family dependents will not get any benefits. But if you commit suicide then people will not reason for suicide/extreme step and your family will get all the insurance and pension benefits. Only your life will be lost." At a scene like this you feel that at gunpoint the traitor has no option.
  • Here also we find a Dalit/Backward Caste student is harassed by the authorities and is suspended and he has not got any place to stay and then after several months decides to end this 'torture' by powerful people who are ministers. He does not see a future and ends it.
I will say this suicide is as good as murder. Even in Indian Penal Code, abetment to suicide is punishable. It is same as murder. Suicide is a crime in IPC. So is abetment to suicide and murder. Murder is universally a crime. Suicide may not be a crime in some countries. Abetment to suicide is definitely a crime as no person has the right to force anyone to commit suicide. The hardline Hindu extremists like BJP and Riot Sevak Sangh (RSS) do not care for anyone lives. Especially they do not care about minorities and poor. They will be happy if poor and minorities simply disappear from their paths.

Not Another Teen Movie

Watched this 2001 movie on Netflix and totally enjoyed it.

Gangster Squad, Aloha, Kaagaz Ke Fools

Watched the above three movies.
"Gangster Squad" watched on Netflix. I liked the movie.
--------------------------------------
"Aloha". This was also watched on Netflix. Okay for a one-time watch.
--------------------------------------
"Kaagaz Ke Fools" was watched on Airtel Digital TV+ Miniplex HD Channel. Okay to be watched once. This movie could have been fun but they made it a tragedy movie deliberately. Definitely feels like it.

Wrath of the Titans, After Porn Ends, Main aur Mr.Right, Zed plus

Watched four movies as mentioned in the subject line.
"Wrath of the Titans" was watched on Netflix. I liked the movie. the movie was left in a stage where it is possible to bring in sequel.
----------------------------------
"After porn Ends" is a documentary which I watched on Netflix which showcases what the yester-year porn stars are doing after their career has "ended". Very famous personalities like Asia Carrera, Randy Savage, etc are featured in the documentary. They are trying to pass their lives by doing something meaningful to have a purpose of their existence. Whatever you say, i feel these people are like pioneers. They went to a place where man never set foot earlier. It is real what they did. Moon landings may be false and fabricated. But what the pioneers in porn have done four decades or so back is something real.
-----------------------------------
"Main aur Mr.Right" watched this movie on Airtel Digital TV+ after recording on pendrive. Movie is okay to be watched once but if you can you need to avoid it.
-----------------------------------
"Zed Plus". I liked this movie. Watched on Airtel Digital TV+ and I will say this is a must watch. I liked the movie. It is a movie a bit like Hollywood movies of yore and the hero and heroine do drive off into the sunset happily in the end.

Pathankot Staged

I will say Pathankot attacks happened earlier in the month was a 'staged affair'.
And the culprits are ones in India who do not want peace with Pakistan.
Why they do not want peace? Simple it is money.
How much money is spent on armed forces. It is not few hundreds of crores or even thousands of crores.
IT IS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CRORES.
And remember it is the hard earned money of the Indian people.
Few people are not interested in peace simply because if peace is achieved, this source of money will evaporate. Just like we saw in the documentary "Hot Girls Wanted" where a few hundred dollars makes the girls to carry out unspeakable acts. Here we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars.
Thus it is these vested interest who are carrying out these acts as well as keeping media focus on this to make Indian public boil.
Hatred will beget more hatred. And they know that their operation has worked.
Indian media will paint the Pakistanis as villains and how they are not taking any action but the truth is the truth will never be found as to who are actually responsible for this.
Hindu extremists will do their work. They are small players like pawns in this big game. I will say even if PM Modi is genuinely interested in peace he cannot do anything. In a situation like this even he becomes helpless as he cannot expose those who are doing this. The people who are behind this know that a PM can only be there for 5 years. Every 5 years there is an election.
 Also if PM Modi does not toe their line, he risks rejection from the very people who elected him as they are exposed to hatred begets hatred media who will paint him in poor light.

Benefits of Morning Walk

I will stress the importance of morning walk to maintain a fit life. I have nothing against other forms of exercise like running or going to gym or yoga. What I have found that the most simplest way is a morning walk. And preferable way of morning walk should be outside under the blue sky and treadmill should be avoided at all costs.
  • Parasites enter our body all the time. By morning walk we "squeeze the places" they can find refuge in. Because our body is pushed to stress, this stress acts to stretch our muscles, joints and tendons and these parasites simply melt away through sweat or urine.
  • Our lungs, throats, nose and areas in between also have those "colony of germs". Often I have seen during morning walk our nose keeps running to certain extent and we blow out our noses. This kind of sputum which comes out of our nose liberates the germs and they go out to the bigger world outside. That is one reason to go for morning walk in the "great outdoors" and not use treadmill in gym. Because in treadmill inside a closed space in a gym you cannot "blow your nose". There is just no scope for that.
  • During morning walk, there is blood circulation. We know that stagnant water can give rise to worms and germs and larvae and what not. That I have seen during my hostel days at Hyderabad where water was kept in drum but it gave rise to swimming small worms like mini tadpoles. Once I took a bath in that water also without giving importance to the same as water problem was there in the hostel. Then one hostel mate told that these worms come in the water because it is stagnant water. In running water there will not be any worms. And so it is very important that blood circulation happens, which will make our blood no longer remain "stagnant". And parts of the body where the blood does not reach fast reaches now. I will say this "stagnant" position of blood will give rise to a lot of diseases. I have a belief that 90% of diseases can be prevented by regular exercise (walking included). These diseases may consist of diabetes, cancer, Alzheimers disease, dementia, cough cold and fever, etc. Thus this blood circulation early in the morning is required.
  • The gym is a man made environment. God and Allah made the "great outdoors", the sky, the sun, the morning light, the colour of the sky, the clouds, the trees, the air we breathe, the earth. Everything is made by God/Allah. Thus we need to enjoy what God has provided us with. We can put a price value on a gym or a gym membership. But we cannot put a price on the boundless beauties of nature which the God Almighty has made. And through morning walk we can get a sample of what God has made for us.
  • The morning air is pure. The morning air is fresh. We need to fill our lungs with the freshest air available in the world. Not the AC air of a gym. Also, as the day progresses the air becomes filthier and filthier as traffic around the city goes on increasing. Noise and pollution keeps on increasing. Thus I will not give much importance to "evening walk". If one wants to get real benefit from a walk one must do it in the morning.

Hot Girls Wanted

Watched the above original documentary on Netflix and I must say that it is too good. We know that watching porn is too pleasurable. But this documentary shows just how much pain is involved.
And the pain is at a personal level. Surely there is no shortage of girls. new girls are entering the industry at all times. But individual girls have to sacrifice their individual rights to pleasure others.
Also, it is about sex and money which draws the girls but it is never about sex. It is only about money.
They need money to pay the bills and it is a vicious cycle. A career of a girl can range from 1 month to 1 year at the tops and then they need to sort out their lives. The documentary is mainly about amateurs flocking to the city of Miami for a career in the porn industry.

Movies in Fastforward

I have been watching movies on Airtel Digital TV+ after recording on pendrive.
And there is a way to watch the movies and that is through fast forward method.
You can makeX2,X4,X8,X16 and X32 times faster.
It is verily like old VHS tapes/VCR where we could watch video cassettes through fast forward method.
And I have watched two movies through that fashion.
"Revolver Rani" (2014).
This is such a bad movie, only way to watch it was through fast forward.
"Andar bahar"(1984)
I watched this movie through fast forward but did not miss anything in the movie. If anything got nostalgic because they have shown a world in the movie which does not exist anymore. They have shown Bombay in 1984.
I mean why the hell did Hindu brigade like Shiv Sena and BJP need to rename Bombay as Mumbai. Bombay was way nice, way good. Now even if we want things cannot go back to the way they used to be. This Hindu brigade is famous for extinguishing history and making things they want them to be. They are the real destroyers of history, art culture and legacy. They do not care for anyone. They have only their agenda and they work on their agenda alone without caring for anything.
Thus what was Bombay is shown in the movie and now Bombay has changed just too much. Earlier only Fiat and ambassadors and few scooters could be found and now there are many many models of cars on the road. Also the number of cars must have gone up several times over. Also, the streets appear so sparsely populated that it is the stuff of dreams and that was the case a mere 30 years ago.
Also the movie is too good. I mean they don't make that kind of movies in Mumbai anymore. The item numbers are too good. the villains are real villains and the heroes are real heroes not like the villain cum heroes we found today.
Certainly I find present day movies suck big time. Movies like Andar Bahar and other 80's movies were made in certain way that can no way be imitated today and hence it is a legacy that needs to be archived and protected.

Wazir, The Notebook, Halo 4

Watched three movies as mentioned above.
Wazir was seen on the big screen.
The Notebook was seen on Netflix and Halo 4 : Forward Unto Dawn was seen on Netflix.
Wazir and Halo 4 movie are big dissappointments and no need to waste time watching those movies.
"The Notebook" is a very good movie. It just just goes on to show that good movies can be made in our lifetimes and in front of our eyes and not that good movies were made in 1950's or 60's before we were born.

Youngistaan, Friends with Benefits

Watched the above mentioned two movies today.
Youngistan was watched on Miniplex HD Channel on Airtel Digital TV+ after recording on Pen drive.
"Youngistaan is India". The country of India has been named as "Youngistaan" in the movie.
Some crazy things are shown in the movie. Like 28 year old man becoming PM. In India, 45 year old Rahul Gandhi is being referred to as 'young boy' by several people then what to make of a 28 year old PM.
I feel this movie was released in Feb 2014 before 2014 elections made a 64 year old man PM which is Modi. What is shown in the movie worked for 60+ year old man. So India may be "Youngistan" but the PM can never be 'young'. This is an empty dream which will never get fulfilled in Indian democracy.
Neha Sharma actress is great performer and needs to be appreciated. Jacky Bhagnani is also good no doubt about it.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Friends with Benefits was watched on Netflix. As usual this is great way to watch movies. But you may not be able to watch the very latest movies. But it is okay several old movies over the years you may not have watched. They got missed and you could not go to theatre due to whatever reason, job, family commitment or lack of free funds (as cinema tickets cost a lot these days), you can do a catch up with Netflix.
You don't get the time to download and watch. But since you have Netflix you may watch it 'compulsorily' and hence it is good.This movie was okay and no harm watching it once.

Real world vs Virtual World

People I must outline that I have reopened Facebook and Twitter Account.
Now, why did I do that? You may ask.
  • I will say the reason is that there is no point hiding and running away from reality. These sites have come to be a part of our lives.
  • If I can use Youtube or Blogspot or email or Netflix what is the harm in using Facebook and Twitter. I don't think there is any harm.
  • I do not appreciate the free basics which is on offer by Facebook alongwith Big business like Airtel or Reliance. This is only a way to con people to use Internet the way they i.e. Facebook and Reliance want the user to use it.The purpose of the Internet evolution in the history of mankind will be defeated if Freebasics is implemented. PM Modi being a stooge of the Jew owned business like Facebook will try to "impose" it on "ignorant Indian people". People need to resist it.
  • There is purpose in being with them and using it to the minimum. There is no doubt that there is a lot of information available on the net. And so is the case with these micro-sites like Facebook and Twitter inside the big world of Internet. They are quite vast by themselves. There is no way that we can swallow all the information that is available through them. Hell even the Newsfeed will go bigger and bigger, the more we follow or make friends with on Twitter and Facebook to the extent that it would become incomprehensible for a ordinary human being to go through all of them. And hence the relevant thing becomes to be inside them and not to swallow them. Thus your mere existence inside them does not mean that you have to use them to the max. Use them as much less as possible. You know when I was in Facebook earlier I was like an addict. Posting and liking all and sundry. Now I have decided simply to have an account and not do anything more.
  • There is always a chance that someone may go into Facebook or Twitter and assume your identity. this fear was there with me even earlier. Thus it is but logical to have your own account and prove that it is the only account you own.
  • Also what happens in the real world can very well happen in the virtual world. What happens in the real world? In the real world you exist and then you are exposed to people and situations and then you react to them. In real world like in a social gathering or the same if you have nothing good to say, you keep quiet, it is the logical thing to do. You do not harm anyone in a social gathering else there will be consequences. You keep your behavior in check. In virtual world also, the same thing can happen. if you have nothing good to say you need to keep quiet. It is not that difficult is it. You just emasculate what you are doing in the real world and you will do just fine. In real world you do not assume any other identity do you. Unless you are a Cheat or "420" as they say, you do all genuine things in the real world. Same needs to be done in the virtual world as well to keep you life going and I'm sure everything will be just fine.

Charfutiya Chokre, Anatomy of a Love Seen, Faster

Watched the above three movies recently.
Charfutiye Chokre watched on Airtel Digital TV Miniplex HD Channel after recording on pen drive. I will say I liked the movie. Soha Ali Khan along with other actors have done a wonderful job. I will say no ordinary actress could have done Soha Ali's job. She shows her 'royal lineage' through the role.
---------------------------------------------------------
'Anatomy of Love Seen' movie was watched on Netflix. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Though the movie is about lesbians I enjoyed it. I must confess that I saw open titties in a feature film after several years. I must congratulate the heroines who must have felt total freedom when going for the 'top freedom'. True equality between men and women cannot come if women don't get 'top freedom' like men I will say.
----------------------------------------------------------
Faster was also seen on Netflix. I must say I had seen the movie on internet several years ago. But on Netflix totally enjoyed the movie. And understood it completely. Very good movie and definite must watch. Dwayne Johnson has done amazingly.

Netflix

Became a member of Netflix and as I said earlier, this is a "world changing" event when Netflix is available around the world. I will try to outline all points as below. Kindly note that I may forget some and then I may be excused.
  • First movie I watched today was Unknown. Way back I had seen the movie on Internet but it was a "Hall Print" and movie was not very comprehensible. Now I could see ever bit of the movie due to DVD like quality on Netflix.
  • We are sick and tired of watching movie on TV channels where everything is censored. Why? Just Why? People watching in the privacy of their homes cannot watch a little bit of adult content just why? Also small expletives like ass, bitch and fuck get censored. Tell me the director has made the movie in a certain way. Why do we try to impose changes on the same? People should get to enjoy the movie the way the director made it for the people to enjoy. Same is with Music Videos on VH1 and 9XO channel (only two channels available in India which show International Music). Why the censorship?
  • I have already been watching movies through streaming since 2007. I only began downloading movies in 2011. Recently since past two or three years, what I have seen is that you can download a hell lot of stuff but if you cannot watch them then what is the use of downloading. It is like keeping newspapers in the house for several months hoping that you will get the time one day to read all of them only that the time will never come. So watching in streaming even 1 movie is better than downloading and not watching 100's of movies.
  • Netflix feels like a cinema theater. I have earlier pleasure of using Real Network and Movieflix where we could become member through credit card and watch movies but no way their library would be as vast as Netflix. I have earlier tried to use Netflix to become member but it did not work as people from outside US could not. I have also tried watching through Hulu and BBC programs and ABC.net.au programs but same could only be used by the people in their respective countries. It is here when Netflix has arrived around the world that the boundaries between the worlds have melted away. It should be encouraged and Hindu Extremists like Riot Sevak Sangh (RSS) and BJP/Modi should not try to ban Netflix.
  • Earlier we went to Cinema theater and the Curtain used to rise and movie used to start. During the interval curtain used to come down and then go up and then go down again at the end of the show. This is the modern age and there is no curtain. The curtain is our laptop or desktop or tablet and this the way to watch movies in the present age and time. 
  • Netflix is offering free membership for the first month and then it is 500 rupees (starting). I became a member but was charged rupees 70. They will say 500 will be charged after one month. I will say 500 is not a huge amount because these days even a single show-one ticket in a multiplex can go upto 500 for a single show-single sitting. So 500 per month for unlimited viewing is just peanuts I would say.
  • Sometimes dialogues are not very comprehensible and just like original DVD's where we have the subtitle on-off feature in Netflix also there is subtitle on-off feature. It is simply just great. The print is also great DVD quality. You can download the movies from various sources legally or illegally but no way I will say they can match Netflix.
  • I was also member of DVD library club whose names I have forgotten but this is way better I will say. I think one name was "Cinema Paradiso" shop and the other was "Seventymm". Cinema Paradiso was where you had to go personally. Seventymm had a very good website where you could order titles and queue them much like what Netflix was initially offering in the US. I watched several movies through them but I could not utilise their services fully as I was gainfully employed and working at that time. And so I closed the memberships. Subsequently they too shut shop and they are not there anymore. Maybe their business model did not work out. Way to go ahead according to me is DTH and Netflix. Surely they should offer good very good stuff or they also might go the DVD rental way.

Minions, Unknown

Watched Minions on Airtel-Order-a-movie channel. It cost Rs 65.
I will say that channel is where you order a movie and money gets deducted from your account.
I will say that is the way I watched the Star Wars Movies on Tata Sky Showcase Channel.
But I could not watch the two parts of Star Wars movies because Tata Sky removed those movies. And Tata Sky got the movies "Pan", "He Called Me Malala" and "The man form U.N.C.L.E" in its place.
And that is when I realised that this Tata Sky is overpriced cheat.
I mean he offers good stuff but charges heavily for it.
Just for watching "He named me Malala", Tata Sky is charging 150 rupees. Tell me does he think we are fools that he will charge as much as he wants and we keep dishing out that money. Thus I decided not to order any more movie on Tata Sky Showcase Channel unless he reduces the figure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In situation like this there has been a major development and that is Netfix has arrived in India. And not just in India but in 130 additional countries to the original 60 where it was available. So practically, excluding China it is available everywhere.
I mean this is a very major development and is definitely a "wold-changing" event.
I have become a member today and watched the first movie "Unknown".
I will write about this in next post.

Ab Tak Chappan 2

Watched the above movie on Miniplex HD Channel on Airtel Digital TV after recording it on pen drive.
I liked the movie. The movie is about how politician-undeworld-police nexus exists.
Politicians use police to eliminate members of underword.
They also use the underworld to eliminate their rivals.
Thus politicians are true culprits and if there is threat to their "Seat" then they do all sorts of illegal things to keep themselves in power.

"No Moustache" No

I am writing this post to inform that I have made a U-Turn with regard to "No Moustache" and shaving the upper portion of lip daily.
I have turned 180 degree.
People have misconception that when they do u-turn they do 360 degree. Like I recollect in the movie "Last Action Hero", the villain will be having a henchman in one scene he will be in pool and tell that how come his henchman turned 360 degree on him. Then he would say "Fool if I would have done a 360 degree I would have turned around and ended exactly the way I was". And hence it is 180 degree.
Today I have trimmed the beard and made it to 2mm. I still have decided never to shave. Actually 5 days of shaving the upper lip was enough for me. Few points I would like to outline as below:
  • Thing is you touch your area above the upper lip and feel something is missing and that is your moustache and you cannot grow a moustache in one day. It takes several days and perhaps weeks.
  • I had told about parasites can enter the body through the moustache and the nose. I guess we have to have faith in those parasites. If there are bad bacteria there are also good bacteria. Recently I read how a glass of water may contain 10 million bacteria. Not all of them are harmful else human race would not be alive on this earth. So we have to faith in the good parasites/organisms/bacteria and they will protect us from the bad ones. If they fail we anyway have the body's own immune system which would protect us. We need to have faith and trust the good forces to keep us safe from harm.
  • Like I have said earlier shaving is a violent act and no good will come from a violent action. Even if we do the violence on a small portion of our face i.e. the moustache area we still cannot guarantee we would be safe.
  • The act of shaving is useless unless done everyday. It is monotonous act. We are also doing something like preventing a natural thing to happen. The beard and moustache will grow. So why resist? Shaving is the act of resistance against nature. Man seeks to assert himself that he is all powerful. No need for that. We need to realise that resistance to nature is futile.
Thus how long one decides to keep beard and moustache is ones personal decision which he can do with the help of trimmer. It could be 2mm, or 4mm or 1 cm or even fist length it is personal decision of a man. But shaving should be avoided and no change in my line of suggestion. 

Lakshya

Watched the above movie on &Pictures HD Channel after recording on Airtel Digital TV.
Movie is crazy. It has shown that Hritik Roshan has single handedly won the Kargil war. It belittles the effort of hundreds if not thousands of Indian soldiers.
But the scenery is very good. No doubt why Kashmir (along with Jammu and Ladakh) is being called paradise on earth. Obviously, that is why people are willing to die (and kill) for it.
Also people in both sides of border are not troubled when thousands if not tens of thousands of crores are going down the drain when spending for the armed forces while basic people in the countries lack access to basic necessities of life.
And I had not seen the movie for a long time but heard that it shows the correct view from both sides. But I will say the movie is heavily biased for India and hence what I had heard is simply false.
I do not mind not watching it for a long time. It is definitely not a movie which is like "not to missed".

Star Wars VII, Black& White

Watched the Seventh Episode of Star Wars movie on the big screen.
I will say that the movie has dealt with subject of Shield for the ultimate weapon which was not touched upon in the case of the Death Star.
Also they made the hero black and a girl which in the age of Obama is very likely. Earlier Star Wars heroes were White.
And towards the end Han Salo is eliminated and the girl takes the place of Han Salo and goes on to meet Luke Skywalker. It is very likely that Harrisson Ford and Mark Hamill have decided the succeeding Star Wars between themselves. Like Luke would have said "you take the Seventh I will take the eighth" and so on.
Movie is okay for a one time watch. But if you see the earlier movies I will say this falls short.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Watched Black & White movie starring Anil Kapoor on Airtel Digital Plus after recording on pen drive. Movie is okay for a one time watch. Towards the end of the movie so many outcomes could have been possible but I guess the director chose one and took the movie to the logical end.

John Day Quotes

In John Day movie, towards the end there is a monologue by the actor Naseeruddin Shah and I have noted it down and reproduced below for your reference:
"The Lord is my Shepherd, what more do I need.
In Green pastures he lets me rest,
To Quiet Streams of Water he leads me,
And revives my fading spirit,
He leads me along the right path,
Ever true to his name,
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadows of death,
No harm need I fear.
For you are there by my side,
With your awe and your stare you give me comfort,
You prepare a banquet for me,
In the presence of my foes.
You anoint (?) my head with oil,
My cup is overflowing.
Only goodness and kindness will follow me.
All the days of my life
I shall dwell in the house of the Lord,
Forever and ever."

Quotes from in front of our Building

During morning walk I listen to TuneIn Radio and hence carry my smartphone. Today morning I came through a lane and saw an advertisement which made me smile and hence I took a photo which is as below:

Iran-Saudi Relations

I will say Iran Saudi relations is the point where the human race future is defined.
Let us first outline the points which I have made earlier in the blog posts:
  • You can be either a Shia or you can be a Sunni. You cannot be both.
  • You need not be a Muslim to be a Shia or Sunni. By being born as a human being you will find yourself in either two divisions.
  • Hindus are like Shia. What happens to be a 'true Shia' you need to be a born as a Shia. And to be a 'real Hindu' you have to be born Hindu.
  • The country of Pakistan has to decide whether it wants to side with Shias or the Sunnis in this conflict. Most countries which were earlier with the Soviet Union are going with Shias. Most of the countries with the US are siding with Sunnis. (Western) Europe is in two minds. It cannot decide which bloc to go with. If they listen to the US they will go with Sunni.
  • You can become a Sunni by conversion whenever you want. Islam welcomes all to its faith and you can be a Sunni quite easily. Thus Sunni are thus more welcoming to the outsiders.
Basically, who will inherit the religion of Islam? That is the conflict between Shia and Sunni.
Shia will say that the blood relations of the Prophet Muhammad are the ones who will lead them.
Sunni will say that the followers will decide who will lead them.
And therein lies the difference which goes to the very heart of the human race and decides our existence on this planet.
The religion of Islam is supposed to be the last religion of the Abrahamic line and the Prophet Muhammad is the Last prophet.
All the Abrahamic religions, Islam, Christianity and Judaism give the emphasis on End of Days and Judgment Day.
Thus it is not just about the religion. It is about the earth. The Shia Sunni divide is about who will inherit the earth for the future generations.
Iran-Iraq War, Afghanistan War, conflict in Kashmir, war in Yemen all have their sources in the Shia Sunni divide. If we look at all the conflicts and dig deeper it is basically a Shia Sunni conflict.

Dilwale, Red, Star Wars 4

Watched the above three movies.
Dilwale watched on the big screen. Movie is okay for a one time watch. I would like to say that this movie was being protested by this Hindu brigade is very bad. Hindu brigade should realise that movies are above their narrow minded vested political ambitions. These Hindu nationalists are enemies of democracy and freedom of expression and freedom to exercise the freedom to watch, eat, do, dress, pray. It is their line or no line. I would say Hindu brigade should be punished by making them watch Dilwale compulsorily. That will teach them a lesson.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Next movie watched was Red-The darkness within. Starring Aftab Shivdasani I would say that this movie is okay for a one time watch. Watched it on Star Gold channel after recording it on Airtel Digital TV.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Star Wars IV - Watched this movie on Tata Sky Showcase Channel.
I will say this movie which is the original Star Wars movie was released in 1977 and is quite ahead of its time.
I mean the three parts which got released in 1999, 2002 and 2005 are good because technology had improved a lot and the director could make the movie the way he wanted using Computer Wizardry, but this movie was released in the year I was born in 1977 when technology was at its infancy and is just great.
But I found two flaws in the movie.
  • In the opening scene, Darth Vader captures the ship belonging to Princess Liea and R2D2 and C3PO make good their escape and land in the closest planet which happens to be the very planet where Darth Vader was found as a young child. In other words Darth Vader could not even know that the two droids have gone to his own planet. He is a super Jedi and how could he not know that.
  • Also the Death Star is such a technological marvel and it did not have a 'protection shield' over it? C'mon it is hard to believe that. 
  • Also when the Death Star followed Han Solo and team and found the location of the rebels in the satellite of a planet why did it need to wait 30 minutes to have a 'line of sight' to fire its gun to destroy the rebel base at the moon. It could have simultaneously blasted the planet and moments later could have blasted its satellite. Or else who knows in the blast to the planet, the satellite would have got destroyed anyway. That 30 minutes gave the rebels the chance to scramble their jets and invade the Death Star which did not have "shield" surprisingly.
But anyway I will say the director has done tremendous effort and even in 1999,2002 and 2005 with the three parts coming out he has tried to put the whole picture together. Tremendous effort I will say. I will say when the original Star Wars came out we had the the Cold War going on and the enemy was real. Not like today manufactured enemies like Al-Qaeda or ISIS. Also the way rebels could mount an attack was inspired from the Second World War where we had the ever aggressive Nazi Empire (the memory was still fresh in peoples mind in 1977).

The Nose and the Act of Shaving

I will say that the nose is a gateway to infection in human beings and especially men.
Men are protected if they shave their moustaches.
What happens when a man shaves completely?
When a man shaves completely the little tiny organisms living on his face which are known as Demodex get washed away. Thus when one shaves completely one is protected.
If one does not shave the moustache but the beard, these organisms find a "dense forest kind of area" on the upper lip of a man.
Now any human being breathes through the nose which is just above the moustache area. When one breathes in these organisms go inside from nose to inside the nose to the throat and then there is link to evey other part of the body.
Along with these demodex, other organisms will also find their way. Some which may be very harmful like parasites and they will do an adverse reaction in the body's immune system leading to cancer.
Demodex let us mention them as organisms can live in beard and not affect the nose.
And hence what I have concluded I can summarise below:
  • One can have beard but one should not have moustache. Beard is required for a man "to be a man". It is the natural look of a man which God has made.
  • If one decides to have moustache one should ideally be vegetarian. Because more organisms and parasites can come through non-veg food. And same will find refuge in the moustache and can enter the body through the nose.
  • One can do a full shave and then there is no risk of having organisms on the face. It is not "unmanly" to shave. Only a man who has a beard growing needs to shave it to keep it under check.
Thus what I have concluded that moustache is highly risky due to risk of infection entering the body through the nose. But there is no risk of same in having a beard else one can go for the clean shaven look. So, this new year today, I have decided to keep the beard and shave the moustache daily.
Please remember if one opts for the option to go for a full shave then also one has to do it daily or else its utility will not exist. My new look is also as below:
