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."
