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.
