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.

BJP and Pakistan
"If BJP loses in Bihar, they will burst crackers in Pakistan".
This is what Amit Shah says.
I will say this is an ultimate "brahmastra" in BJP arsenal. I know this slogan was used by Narendra Modi to win election in 2002 when Gujarat had just emerged from riots.
This is the ultimate weapon for BJP. They are sensing defeat. Modi magic will not work. So create a "bogeyman" and that is Pakistan. And ultimately BJP is the holy warrior who will save from the evil bogeyman.
But it is all false. BJP is desperate for power. It does not care for the poor. Loot the country. Loot the state of Bihar that is their motive.
So invoke the bogeyman of Pakistan. Green signal for the same is given by RSS I.e. the Riot Sevak Sangh.
While Gujarat shares border with Pakistan, Bihar is more than a 1000 kms away.
The BJP, RSS, Amit Shah etc just want to fool the people.

Pak boycott India
I feel Pakistan boycotting India in cricket is a natural thing to do.
If India will not play Pakistan and use goons to disrupt meetings in a 'pre-planned' manner it is the correct thing to do.
I feel Pakistan is right in boycotting India whether for Blind World Cup or World T20 World Cup.
Awards and recognition are secondary. What is important is prestige and self-respect.
And what is cricket?
Cricket the so called Gentleman's game is an "import from England", Indian subcontinents' colonial power.
It is the same reason that we have English speaking people in large numbers in India and even this blog is in English.
It is not due to US of A that cricket is popular, it is due to Great Britain aka England.
Back to the topic. Pakistan may cite the issue of security.
But when in a big event when countries like Kenya and Ireland can take part, there will be no threat to Pakistani players that is my belief.
But I support this because India and Pakistan will not play each other in a separate one-to-one series.
Like I have said the Indians are cowards and do not want to face humiliation of losing to Pakistan and that is the reason they are not playing Pakistan and not due to "chest thumping" or the like.
India is in the hands of Hindu Taliban and it is time the world takes note.
By Pakistan boycotting India, Pakistan risks isolation but the history will note this that due to continuous confrontational posture by India, this step was taken by Pakistan.
100 years or 1000 years from now, history will note this. There should not be "Apartheid like situation" in this world let alone in this Indian sub-continent which was subjected to a very humiliating colonial rule over 200 years in the past.
India is first in this boycott. It is not at all supporting domestic ties between Pakistan and India and that is tragic event. Pakistan can circumvent it by doing a similar kind of effort by avoiding playing India and playing in India. It is a natural outcome of a tough situation particularly when the International agencies (ICC) are under the grip of the all powerful and rich BCCI. The cash rich BCCI buys all the officials in the international level.
But money is not everything. Self esteem and prestige and sense of pride is.
There is no pride in what India is doing presently.
