Lahore bombing

I must make it clear that I have been/am totally against all kinds of terrorist activities.
I am also against one set of people imposing their ideologies on another.
I do not like extremists from whichever faith they may be whether Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jew, Shinto, Christian, Parsi or Muslim.
I also do not like how headlines have been splattered around the globe that Christians were targeted in the Park blast.
It is not like only Christians visit parks.
I am 100% sure that 90% of the people killed or injured would be Muslims.
Even in India, you go to park on weekends or any given Sunday you will find the crowd.
It is not like only on Easter Sunday does the crowd happen and they go to parks. The crowd would have been there whether it was Easter or not.
Agreed that if a church was targetted you could have said that Christians were targetted but you cannot say that Chistians were targetted when a Public Park was targetted.
People who publish or write such kind of articles are enemies of humanity and I would say are worse than the terrorists because their intention is not genuine and by their act they intend to isolate and alienate communities and justify ethnic segregation and ethnic cleansing.
Shame on these people.
As for me, I would like to say once more. Why is God keeping me alive to witness such atrocities on innocent people.
I am no part of this and do not like this kind of news. It makes me upset and sad.

India Australia Match IPL Connection

Once again we saw a match where a T20 tournament named IPL is dictating the shots of an international tournament like World T20.
If you look at the scorecard of Australia we find that two big batsmen score as below
DA Warner     st †Dhoni b Ashwin     6    
SPD Smith*     c †Dhoni b Yuvraj Singh     2
What is the meaning of this?
Two big batsmen like Warner and Smith get out so cheaply.
It is obvious that there were having the lucrative IPL contracts in mind.
Warner and Smith are both captains in the Indian Premier League.
Obviously they will not jeoparidise their IPL careers for that winning knock in World T20.
They have their future with the Indian nation and IPL in mind.
And so they played lose shots and got out and got Indian blessings.
If they had not played the lose shots they could have verily gone ahead and posted 180-200 plus scores.
It is all fixed.
I will reiterate, India has got nothing to be proud about its performance in World T20.

Rocky Handsome

Watched this movie on the big screen and I liked it. Definitely okay for a one time watch.

Kapoor and Sons, Grandma

Watched two more movies as mentioned in the subject line.
Kapoor and Sons was watched on the big screen, i.e. the cinema theater. Movie is okay for a one time watch.
Grandma is being watched on Tata Sky Showcase HD Channel. Okay movie but plenty of silences and blips and the dialogues are heavily censored on Tata Sky. In that sense the Netflix and downloading movies and watching is preferable as we get the see the movies "the way the director intended for views to see it" in other words no censorship.

I support Sanders for US President

Now that Rubio has withdrawn from US Presidential race, my backing is fully for Democrats and Sanders.
I just got to listen what Sanders had to say on CNN on 21-March-2016 where CNN got in the last five candidates.
I feel Sanders is very good and will be able to defeat Trump.
Hillary is an embarassment and I feel very bad to listen to her speeches and will feel bad and revulsion forever. She is an embarassment much like now Obama a black man as President is an embarassment for entire America. I will say it is a matter of Shame on America for making Obama as President.
It just shows how Jews dominate the American scene and can make any looney person as their President.
The criteria of becoming President is that you have to sniff the Jew asses and lick their feet.

The problem with Trump is a vast different sets of people don't like him.
Nobody would want a person who is "shooting at all places" to be President.
But let me reiterate what I had said earlier.
Rubio and Ted Cruz were of same age around 45. But how come Rubio looks 35 while Cruz looks 55. Rubio looks young for his age while ted Cruz looks older. Who would you prefer?
Trump and Kasich look their age which is 60 plus.
Bernie also looks his age which is 70 plus.
But my final point is once Rubio is out of race, now I support Sanders.
But whichever candidate wins please don't lose your humanity.
Ted Cruz looks like an Israeli poodle. In fact the best candidates are Kasich and Sanders.
Kasich for Republicans and Sanders for Democrats.
But Kasich becoming nominee looks unlikely with Trump extending his lead again and again.
But Sanders can become Democrat nominee. And Sanders will be better than Hillary as President. Definitely won't be an embarassment to all and sundry.

Club Mahindra Jaisalmer Day 6 and 7

My final two days were as under.
Day 6: March 19, 2016
Day 6 happened to be checkout day. Though initially the Tao Experiences guy had told to keep the vehicle for local sightseeing and the drop at station we decided not to go for any sightseeing on the last day.
We asked for drop to station and as late as possible.
While check in on our arrival was done at 6:30 AM, no such luxury was offered for checkout.
Our train was at 7:20 PM and they asked us to leave the room by 12 Noon. Officially the check in time is 2 PM and check-out time is 10 AM.
They further asked us to settle the bill by 10:30 AM so that system will show that we had checked out.
So we had breakfast in room and settled both the bills, i.e. Club Mahindra bill for food and Tao Experiences bill for Travel and Taxi and then left the room by 11:30 AM and taxi dropped us at station by 12:30 PM. We sat for a bit at Jaisalmer station waiting room and then decided to take a room for a few hours till 5 or 6 PM and that we did. On the way several autos and taxis hounded us for 'local sightseeing' but we politely declined them. The hotel guy took Rs 500 and gave us a room for rest and we had lunch on the same building roof top.
The architecture is Jaisalmer (and Jodhpur also) is unique in the sense that a similar kind of stone and pattern is used in construction which gives a unique look to the sights and buildings.
Also the sandstone type rock used in Jaisalmer is not only visually very appealing but also gives a "cooling effect". While outside it may be 45 degrees, inside it feels like 30 degrees. Such is the wonderful effect.
Then at 5:30 PM we left the hotel and waited at station for the train which had already reached Jaisalmer. (It is a weekly express). Then at 07:20 PM the train left and we along with. The magical Golden fort looming over the town it was too good an experience. The day before we had seen from top of the fort the view of the station which was clearly visible.
Next inside train which was very much full of military personnel who were returning after a successful participation in Operation Iron Fist 2016 which was held on the previous day.
In a Junction after Jaisalmer few people from one family got up and they were too active and kept a "running commentary" on because on that day March 19, 2016, India-Pakistan match in World T20 was being held. They were pacified only when India won the match.
Day 7-March 20, 2016
By morning those members from that family had got down at Falna station we were approaching Ahmedabad. People changed. I had "vada pav" and "bread-cutlet" for breakfast. We reached Vadodara subsequently and there a Doctor got on the train with his wife and he also kept the conversation alive. He got down at Vapi and after that it was a short ride to Borivali where we got down and our journey ended.
