Tumbadd

• Watched the above movie "Tumbadd" on Amazon Prime Video.
• Amazon Prime gives the trivia that this movie took 5 years to complete
• And trust me this is worth watching.
• The creature effects are too good.
• The ending is surprising really.
• "Jaan Bache to Lakhon paye" There is a saying in India. "Means if you saved yourself means you made millions"
• Trust me life is precious.
• Here also the story is something like below. Spoiler Alert.
• The First born Son of a Goddess (who has produced 16 million children) has never ending wealth but is perennially hungry.
• The other children of the Goddess desist the first born as he takes all the wealth and the food of the world.
• Then the Goddess keeps him in her belly and promises he won't be trouble to the others.
• The unlimited wealth in the form of gold coins is in a pouch tied to the waist of the Goddess son.
• But food is unavailable and there is way to get the wealth by offering wheat dumplings and collect few coins which falls out whole he is busy eating.
• But then the protagonists become greedy and take many dumplings and it i observed that for each dumpling there appears different monsters.
• If one gets bitten or scratched then one becomes a vegetative state and is perennially hungry again.
• Only those can be disposed off by burning.
• Worth watching.

Water Therapy

• I had written a blog post as to how ou should drink plenty of water.
• https://anupsabat.blogspot.com/2018/11/drink-plenty-of-water.html
• I have further something to add to it.
• If you have to drink 3-4 litres of water daily I suggest you do it as early as possible in the day.
• Means you should drink 1 litre of water as soon as you get up.
• I would like to make reference to one Dr Anuj video which I had received on WhatsApp.
• Same is available on Youtube and it is as below:
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJvtdDna0G8
• Basically what Dr Anuj says that there are three Mantras for leading a disease free life and those are listed as below
• He says one should drink 1 litre of water immediately after one gets up in the morning does not matter if one brushes the teeth or not. That may be warm or cold not mentioned but preferable warm.
• 40 minutes after having food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) one should have 1 glass of warm water. Here he was specific about warm water.
• He says we should always drink water while sitting and not standing.
• The above are the three mantras and additionally he says that the water we drink should have a PH value of 8.5 ideally and there a machines available to measure it and if possible one should install those.
• Now let me get back to what I have to say. I am no Doctor I must say. I am a normal person.
• According to me, I play no emphasis to sitting or standing. You can drink water while sitting or standing it does not matter. Important is to drink the water.
• Next is by personal experience I recommend you drink only warm water.
• Whenever you are drinking large quantities of water like 2 glasses and above you should drink warm water.
• Hence you should buy a Kettle which I have also bought and when you keep 1 litre of water and switch it on, in 45 second the water becomes warm enough to drink.
• PH value is technical term and I do not know about. I must say drinking water is important and PH value is secondary.
• After food you may drink water or not depends on your body's desire or you may have a sip of water.
• Important is that in the course of the day you should drink 3 to 4 litres of water in the course of 24 hours.
• That is the point. Dr Anuj in the video does not mention how much water we should drink.
• A simple Google search reveals "A 150 pound person should drink 75 to 150 ounces of water per day"
• Converting to litres and kg it turns out "A 68 kg person should drink 2.2 litre to 4.4 litre of water per day"
• Based on the above we can make a table:

• Weight	Water Recommended (min)	Water Recommended (max)
  (kgs)	(litres)	(lites)
  68	2.2	4.4
  50	1.62	3.24
  60	1.94	3.88
  70	2.26	4.53
  80	2.59	5.18
  90	2.91	5.82
  100	3.24	6.47
  110	3.56	7.12
  120	3.88	7.76
  130	4.21	8.41
  140	4.53	9.06

• Thus if we consider just the minimum values if you are 100 kgs you should drink 3.25 litres of water minimum.
• Drinking water is only valid if you drink based on your body weight.
• And you should drink only warm water unless you are just taking a sip.
• If as per a pattern you are drinking then you should only drink warm water.
• Also it is advisable that as early in the day you should complete the daily quota of drinking the water.
• If before breakfast you are able to drink 3 litres of water then nothing like it. Just don't wait for the day to progress or end for drinking the water or you will never be able to complete the quota.
• If before breakfast you are able to drink 3 litres of water then any water you drink subsequently may come from "sips of water" which may not have to be warm.
• It is like some homework or any work given to you and when you complete it before time, the rest of the time "you earned it".
• So if you drink the ideal water preferably 3 litres of water as early in the day, subsequently you do not need to "force feed" the water to yourself.
• Trust me drinking water if essential to prevent ill health and avoid problems like back pain.

EVM Exchange

• There is a term which goes beyond EVM Hacking and that is EVM Exchange.
• I have a fear that BJP may indulge in large scale EVM Exchange to ensure its victory in 2019 Elections.
• In Telangana what happened.
• It may be possible that the EVM machines were "pre fixed".
• "Pre fixed" ensured that TRS emerges victorious.
• TRS is an agent of BJP to ensure that Congress does not emerge as a threat in terms of numbers from Andhra-Telangana region.
• TRS was banking on 2019 elections to be "pre-poned" and held under the garb of "one nation, one elections".
• But BJP was not willing to risk its mandate. Also it did not want to do something as drastic as that.
• And so when common elections were not happening, TRS decided to go alone and suggested early elections and BJP power in Center helped it regain power.
• Thus this pre-fixation of EVM machines may happen.
• Also EVM's may be exchanged like a truck loaded with "pre-fixed" EVMs may be replaced with ones people voted. Like it happened in Madhya Pradesh which was widely circulated on Twitter.
• All these plans would be in place for BJP return to power.
• When Bharat Electronics (BEL) the company which manufactures EVMs says that EVMs cannot be hacked it may be true.
• But it is silent on the "pre fixed" EVMs.
• Also pre fixed EVM's to be exchanged is more of a logistical issue than a technological issue.
• All those may happen in 2019.
• People need to remember that it is possible.

Aquaman, Spiderman into the Spiderverse

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Aquaman

• This 3D movie was watched at Sandhya 70 MM, Madivala.
• I liked the movie.
• Special effects are amazing.
• I guess that effort of the actors would have gone down tremendously due to the special effects.
• It is a masterpiece.
• Jason Momoa, Nicole Kidman and others are just perfect for their respective roles.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Spiderman into the Spiderverse

• This 3D movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere.
• I liked the movie.
• A black Spiderman is good but why they kept the uniform black beats me.
• If you embrace a black Spiderman you should be prepared to hand over the uniform as well and not make the costume of the black Spiderman black.

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

Kedarnath, 2 Point 0

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
------------------------------------------------------------
Kedarnath

• This movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere
• I liked the movie 
• Basically this movie shows how an inter faith love story happens.
• It also shows like a Biblical flood happens and the "chosen people" leave the place.
• Due to the hero's love story, the Muslims are made to vacate the area.
• And then the flood happens.
• But our hero returns to save his lady love and is killed in the process while the heroine is saved.
• But then the temple is rebuilt three years later and the Hindus return.
• But nothing is mentioned about the Muslims residing in the area whether they return or not.

------------------------------------------------------------
2 Point 0

• This movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere.
• I must say this movie concept is too good.
• It has an underlying message of saving the birds and bees and plants.
• Because human life depends on it.
• A group of birds flying together and then coming together to make a big monster or bird has been explored earlier.
• It was seen in Timothy Hutton movie The Dark Half where bunch of birds flow around.
• Also a music video I had seen where a flock of birds come together and become a huge moster and chase a man down the street.
• The inspiration for this movie could be many, Bird Man, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Ant Man, Aliens, Dark Knight and so on.
• But leaving all aside, the fact that such kind of movie could be made is itself remarkable.
• I mean the thought came about itself amazing and commendable.
• While in India movies are made on marriage and love story, this movie can be compared with the best in the world like Hollywood.
• Since made and thought in India, that is why it is amazing.
• Because India is a backward country and this is remarkable.
• There was already Robot and so 2.0 was made.
• It is like only toppings were added.
• If it would have been a stand alone movie, it would have been even more remarkable.
• 3.0 is nothing but Ant Man.
• Movie is definitely worth watching but it may not be on big screen. But worth watching anyways.

Insidious The Last key, Lost Temple of Java, Mortal Engines

Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Insidious The Last key

• This movie was watched on Prime Video 
• It is okay movie to be watched once
• It shows how an evil entity torments people in one house located near a prison since the 1950's
• And finally is taken care of.
• It is enjoyable movie.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Lost Temple of Java

• Strictly speaking this is not a movie but a documentary
• It shows the temple structure of Borubudur
•  How people have created such a magnificent temple in Java island like of which never existed in the world
• People suspect it to be made by immigrants/sailors from India
• Other theory is that Javanese themselves made it and then abandoned it following volcanic activity
• It is Buddhist temple without any subterranean chambers
• All that is to be seen remains outside.
• Magnificent stone carvings could be seen.
• This documentary gives credence to the fact that the entire region of South East Asia functioned as a single trading entity including the East Coast of India.
• People went to and fro before the advent of the Western Powers who then dominated the seas and became colonizers.
• Documentary also shows how an officer from the East India Company Mr Raffles (founder of Singapore) made the discovery and was not taken seriously back in London
• East India Company also captured the island from Dutch and then due to political agreements made in Europe the island went back to the Dutch and Mr Raffles had to leave.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Mortal Engines

• This movie was seen on the big screen at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere 
• I liked the movie.
• This is must watch full 5 star rating.
• Movie starts with one city chasing a smaller city which appears like a ship.
• When in 15th and 16th Century European powers began exploring the ocean things could have happened that way to establish primacy in the waters.
• Those ships which survived reigned supreme.
• Defeated ships would have sank and ended in the bottom of the ocean.
• But here the cities are "gobbled up"
• Yes the entire city of London exist and now is a "mobile city" and gobbles smaller cities in European mainland converting them to fuel.
• People are assimilated after stripping them of valuables and weapons.
• But that is not enough for one commander of London city and he secretly is building a "Medusa aka MedU.S.A" weapon to annihilate settled community in Eastern part of the World.
• That weapon was responsible for destruction of much of World cities and populations
• So in a post Apocalyptic world those who control the resources would be supreme.
• And so the Commander murders the King of London and makes the weapon operational to target a Wall protecting the Eastern civilization which are prospering behind the wall.
• Two strikes he makes and before making the third strike the weapon is disabled and the commander comes under the wheels of London city which he sets on collision course with the wall following the blocking of the weapon.
• But our hero and heroine team are able to stop London city in its tracks and avoid disaster as the city alongwith the inhabitants would have probably got destroyed from the impact.
• Then the Eastern King or Leader allows all the people from "mobile London city" to disembark the "land ship" and enter the lands and so it is a happy ending.

No Temple at Disputed Site Ayodhya

• I don't believe there was a Ram Temple at disputed site in Ayodhya.
• Most probably there was a Buddhist site much before to that.
• Afterwards there were mosques.
• The theory comes from valid data.
• India was Buddhist for several centuries before Islam entered India
• Hindu revival probably happened subsequently in 11th and 12th Century AD onwards
• Ramanujam, Sankaracharya, Chaitanya among others must have contributed to the Hindu revival.
• If we see at major Hindu temples in India, they have their origin in or around 10th Century AD (plus minus two centuries). Why? Because we can suspect that earlier to that the reigning religion in Indian subcontinent was Buddhism. 
• Then Islam entered and in a sense it gave fillip to rise or re-rise of Hindu while extinguishing Buddhism.
• Later there was Swami Vivekananda and Iskcon founder among others
• Areas all around India are dotted with Buddhist sites
• I have read that when Nagarjuna Sagar dam was constructed several Buddhist locations were submerged.
• In one Jackie Chan movie (probably "The Myth") there is a scene where a lady tells Chan take this river and this will lead you to your homeland. Maybe it may be true if the move was shot in Eastern China. Fact is the movie was shot in Hampi area and the river there would lead to present day area near Vijayawada before flowing to ocean. It is an indication of Buddhism in Hampi area and peninsular India (Deccan) in the past.
• In Odisha also sites are full of Buddist ruins like Ratnagiri, Lalitgiri and so on.
• In Maharashtra also Kanheri caves and the location of Lenyadri AshtaVinayak temple is proof that Buddhism was a premier religion in Indian subcontinent before the advent of Islam and the revival of Hinduism by modern day preachers.
• Another link I can mention below:
• https://m.huffingtonpost.in/amp/2018/12/04/there-is-no-evidence-of-a-temple-under-the-babri-masjid-asi-lied-to-the-country-say-archeologists_a_23604990/
• What the above post says that there never was a temple in Ayodhya be for Ram or for other deity
• Deities have been planted and evidence planted to supplement the claim
• All evidence points to earlier Islamic structure perhaps Shia or Turkish 
• Later Babar must have built a grander mosque so that he would be the one to be remembered for a beautiful structure
• If we go even more centuries back, the reality is Buddhist.
• It is but a hard truth that Buddhism was all pervading in Indian subcontinent before Hinduism was revived.
• Not only that Buddhism spread from India to Central Asia (like Bamiyan Buddha example) and East Asia like China, Japan and South East Asia from Burma to Java (Borobodur) to Cambodia.
• Why Buddhism declined is anyobody's guess. Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe the procedures were too rigid. Maybe people could not remain celibate for Priesthood in Buddhism. Maybe they could not remain nonviolent like the Buddha. Maybe people went back to their roots.
• But no doubt that Buddhism even today is a living breathing religion whose ranks are growing everyday.
• Now in 2018 and even earlier to this BJP has been exploiting people sentiments for votes and power and there never was a temple.
• Justifying violence and rioting and killing in the name of religion.
• Divide and rule is the motto of BJP 
• Also they are not bringing out the truth as they will lose the only cause that helps them during elections.
• Any temple imposed would be an artificial one which is not relevant to past.
• Apart from that I feel there is do not need to insist that temple be there on that site only.
• Temple can be built on any place where there is no dispute.
• But BJP feeds itself on dispute and hatred and can only create disharmony in the country.
