Additional Points : Padmavat, Aircel, WWE

  • This post is for few additional points I recollected regarding Padmavat, Aircel, WWE.
  • First is Padmavat
    • This movie shows polygamy existed among Hindus or at least Rajputs in ancient times.
    • As the Rajput king got another wife from Sri Lanka
  • Second is Aircel
    • When I destroyed the Aircel SIM and threw it on March 2nd morning, before that I had read an article about how to port the Aircel SIM to another network.
    • But when I tried to send the SMS, I found that the network was not working.
    • I could not send the SMS. 
    • That prompted me to destroy the SIM.
    • I should have ported to another network earlier.
    • I did not expect Aircel to fall so rapidly.
    • I was expecting another network will take it over.
    • But that was not to be.
    • So that is the reason I disassociated with Aircel through the act of throwing away the SIM.
  • Third is WWE.
    • Another reason for my stopping watching WWE is the bifurcation between Raw and Smackdown.
    • When Vince distributed his two main flagship shows to his daughter and son and the stars also got distributed.
    • I mean it was good for the Superstars of WWE but not for audience.
    • The stars got relieved off the pressure.
    • Audience attention multiplied manifold.
    • Now they had to follow the story lines of two different shows.
    • And the Pay per views also multiplied.
    • It was too much.
    • Also Shane McMahon told that Smackdown is the place of opportunity or the "land of opportunity".
    • When he said that actually he meant that for himself and his show.
    • So he made an Indian star his champion.
    • That star was Jinder Mahal and was assisted by the Singh brothers or Bollywood boys.
    • By making Jinder Mahal the star, Shane McMahon was willing to tap into the "unexplored market of Indian subcontinent" mainly India.
    • Thus Smackdown was a land of opportunity for the franchise and for Shane.
    • And to some extent to Jinder Mahal.
    • They get to go to places where "no man has gone before".
    • It was no land of opportunity for the viewers or us.
    • It is no land of opportunity for us Indians included.
    • They became dumb as usual.
    • Then when I started to stop watching WWE there was an incident where Kurt Angle revealed his son was Jason Jordan.
    • It may or may not be true but it was too much to handle.
    • If true it means Kurt has lived a "fulfilled life" with affairs and all.
    • And the way stories are twisted to impact the viewers is too much.
    • I mean where are we?
    • We are just dumb to provide our brains to them.
    • By disassociation we get to get some peace and think about our own condition rather than bothering ourselves with Kurt and Jason story.
    • It is just one of the several sub plots we bound to get ourselves involved with when we watch WWE.
