Google Translate for News Part 2

  • Such activation, deactivation, reactivation, deactivation seems alright on paper.
  • But the truth is it is like a countdown which is just intolerable.
  • I mean why you need to have an account when you have to wait for full four weeks for activation and deactivation. It is madness.
  • Better to not have account at all.
  • Or better still have an account but don't follow any one and don't use it.
  • Only when you have Twitter installed on phone you will use it.
  • Else you will use it when you follow certain people and Twitter sends you mail.
  • Yes Twitter does that.
  • When you follow some people, Twitter sends email with "highlights" of what they have been been posting on twitter.
  • Then you can click those links and read on twitter.
  • But when you do not follow anyone Twitter will send no email and when you do not have Twitter on your phone you do not read anything.
  • And you have still the ID which you want and nobody can take it.
  • Now I was relying on Twitter for News when I unfollowed the porn accounts.
  • When I do not follow anyone how do I get the News?
  • The answer is Google News.
  • I have been getting news through Google since 2010 end.
  • In 2013-14, I did not have Twitter and used to type news.google.co.in
  • There all the News was there, I had to just change the edition and get the news of that region. 
  • Since my language is English I could only access and enjoy the feeds from limited countries like Australia, US, UK, Nigeria, Malaysia, Pakistan and some more apart from India.
  • The feed of "other languages" were out of the question.
  • Now subsequently over the years, Google Chrome has managed to build a tool where entire webpage is translated.
  • So I re-installed Chrome.
  • Yes I had removed Chrome because I had observed when Firefox Quantum came in, it was not working fast enough but web reports mentioned it otherwise.
  • So I suspected that "Chrome" was slowing down "Quantum".
  • Let us face it in an alternate universe all people would be wearing the same clothes and using the same operating system and/or browser.
  • But this the world we live in.
  • And Google Chrome is jealous when we use Firefox Quantum and wants to tracke what we do with it and hence slows it down.
  • If we use Chrome there is no slowing down as the tracking happens by default.
  • So the solution was that to Reset my PC which has Windows 10 and that option is available and so begin fresh with Firefox Quantum.
  • Microsoft Edge is there anyway by default.
  • I will continue in part 3.

Google Translate for News Part 1

  • I have done quite a few things over the past few weeks.
  • Initially I had a Twitter account which was opened in Sep 2017 and I had other two accounts which were opened in Oct and Nov 2017.
  • So I had total of three Twitter accounts.
  • Incidentally for opening a Twitter Account all you need is an Email.
  • Telephone is optional.
  • So I had three Email accounts for three Twitter accounts.
  • One of those Email Accounts no longer exists ( I deleted).
  • Before that I went ahead and deleted one Twitter Account.
  • After that I had two Twitter accounts.
  • One was the "good me" and the other "evil me".
  • Evil me followed a hell lot of Porn Accounts on twitter and it enabled an endless supply of porn in the Twitter feed for free.
  • Hell why do you need to pay for porn. Just follow few accounts on twitter and voila you get all the porn in the world.
  • Now in December I felt what is the need to hide.
  • Surely when it is available on Twitter I am free to do what I like and then deleted another Twitter.
  • And I merged the accounts by following all the people in just one account.
  • Earlier I used to work with lists but creating a list on twitter is a pain and so I decided to follow all without any lists.
  • Also the rate in which I delete Twitter account and reopen is stupendous and lists go when I delete a particular account which created the list.
  • Now I decided to leave it to Twitter to decide what to show to me.
  • Incidentally that is what Google and Facebook also do. I have known that since 2011.
  • The "feed" which I see is unique to me and that is what they do.
  • Around Christmas, I got a post on twitter in which a model had the crucifix i.e. the cross up her ass. I tolerated it and then came a post in which the model was pissing on the cross.
  • That was too much.
  • To put it simply that was sacrilege.
  • Now how do I tackle it.
  • Surely I cannot keep on watching it because lord will punish me on Judgement day.
  • I thought why I did not die before watching such a sacrilege.
  • I felt it is the work of the devil.
  • I may not be Christian but on that day I knew I could not work or think against Christianity or any religion for that matter.
  • After that I decided to begin afresh and deleted the Twitter account and opened a new one with limited following on my side.
  • Mainly I was following news sources from Pakistan and China like CCTV, Business recorder, Dawn etc.
  • Then out of the blue Trump pounced on Pakistan. And that was too much for me to handle.
  • Then I decided that I will leave Twitter for ever.
  • Surely before 2014 when Modi got elected I did not have Twitter and was using Blogspot to air my views.
  • But then I felt that I will lose my ID i.e. @anupsabat on twitter.
  • So I decided to log in before the mandatory 30 days period got over and reactivate Twitter and then deactivate it once more.
  • I will continue in the next post (kindly bear).

The Goal, Nono the ZigZag Kid, Christmoose Story

Watched three movies as mentioned above.
Incidentally all three movies were watched on Tata Sky Video on Demand Service
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Goal
This Irfan Khan 1999 movie was watched again and realised that it is just too good.
Few more points were noted in the second watch.
  • Irfan gets injured and so he becomes a coach due to love for the game.
  • The class mentality is more prominent in football and when the "class is eliminated" in football it is the ultimate elimination. 
  • In cricket "class mentality" can creep in less as it is "gentleman's game" and anyone who dons the cricket gear is another league altogether.
  • Significant injury resulting in loss of play will be lesser in cricket I feel.
  • Irfan joins as a coach due to his friends calling and towards the end it is shown that his friend is not pleased when the team loses and so he walks away and returns the money offered to him as advance.
  • We are inclined to believe that the money returned by Irfan is "less expenses" as the bundle appears a bit smaller than 50 100 rupee notes. But the truth is we will never know.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Nono the ZigZag Kid
This is Nederlands movie so I assume it would be in Dutch language with English subtitles.
Thoroughly enjoyable movie. I liked it.
It is like a fairy tale movie and many decades are merged like 60's 70's 80's 90's that is whhat I felt.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Christmoose Story
This is Nederlands movie so I assume it would be in Dutch language with English subtitles.
Thoroughly enjoyable movie. I liked it.
It is like a fairy tale movie and the moose is actually the one who pulls Santa's cart to deliver gifts.

Alliegant, My Friend Totoro

Watched two movies as mentioned above.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Alliegant
This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
This is the third and final installment of the Divergent series (for now).
Movie is left in a stage where there can be sequel.
But what I saw on the net there was few box office number and so they are not bringing a fourth installment.
But few unanswered questions could have been answered if there was a fourth installment.
I guess the movie got to complex for ordinary people to understand.
--------------------------------------------------------------
My Friend Totoro
This movie was watched on Tata Sky Video on Demand service where we leave a pen drive and movie downloads automatically.
This is an excellent Japanese animation movie.
It can verily be an European movie.
It is like a fairy tale movie set in Temperate lands.
Plus it has Asian elements like paddy fields and mountains like Vietnam or Philippines.

Star Wars, Thor Ragnarok, An Insignificant man, Insurgent, Sargoshiyan

Watched five movies as mentioned in the subject line.
------------------------------------------------------------
Star Wars
This movie was watched on 3D screen at PVR Orion Mall.
Movie is full of WTF moments. Several twists and turns in the movie leaves you shocked like this:
https://i.imgflip.com/as2y2.jpg?a420504
But for Star Wars fans this movie will be too good.
For me it is so so.
------------------------------------------------------------
Thor Ragnarok
This movie in fact I felt better than Star Wars.
Both movies were seen on the same day.
This one was watched first. Again 3D version at PVR Forum mall.
Movie shows full action as well as destruction of planet.
------------------------------------------------------------
An Insignificant man
This movie watched on Youtube. Link is below:
Movie here
This movie chronicles the times of Arvind kejriwal.
I feel only 5% of the story must have been captured but still it has method to give insight into India and its society and election process which define the nation.
------------------------------------------------------------
Insurgent
This is Part 2 of the Divergent series and it was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
Movie can be watched and enjoyed.
Again there are twists and turns in the movie and leads to something which makes you wait for the third installment and I will watch it soon.
------------------------------------------------------------
Sargoshiyan
This movie was watched on Airtel Miniplex HD Channel after recording in pen drive.
This is too good movie.
Goes all out to capture the beauty of the place that is Kashmir.
Movie is a definite must watch according to me.
When there is movie like this, I feel there is no need of big actors in the movie.

The Conjuring 2, I Daniel Blake, Birds of Passage, Amit Sahni Ki List

Watched four movies as mentioned in the subject line.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Conjuring 2
  • This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
  • Too scary at bits.
  • I came to realise why we humans get scared.
  • Because we do not know what will come next.
  • Once we know what will will come next we are not that scared anymore. 
  • Horror movie directors exploit this loophole to get us scared.
  • Same thing keeps us glued into events like sports.
  • We do not know who or which team will win and that keeps us interested and involved.
  • I watched the movie on mobile 
  • And so I reduced the volume so as not to get scared 
  • And once the scene passed I rewatched it with full volume and it was not scary anymore.
  • Movie is worth watching.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I Daniel Blake
  • This movie got downloaded in Tata Sky to pen drive.
  • So watched it using Tata Sky Video on Demand service.
  • I liked the movie.
  • It shows how a developed country like Britain is still like a third world country.
  • And Britain and other countries have become like "no country for old men"
  • Worth watching.
  • It makes you realise that only way to escape the cruelties of life is to escape life itself.
  • The State is in a way responsible as it is unable to care for its citizens.
  • As long as you have your health and/or you are young you've everything but after that you are like or even worse than an animal.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Birds of Passage
  • This was also watched in Tata Sky Video on Demand service.
  • This is French movie and production country is Belgium.
  • Worth watching.
  • I do not know  if it is based on scientific facts or not.
  • A duckling when hatches considers a paraplegic girl as her mother and even identifies her from a distance.
  • Another girl in the movie who is the actual owner of the duckling combine to strive to leave the duckling in the open or "birds paradise".
----------------------------------------------------------------
Amit Sahni Ki List
  • This movie was watched on Airtel Digital Tv Miniplex HD Channel after recording on pen drive.
  •  Starring Virr Das the story is about a man who looks for a perfect soulmate and finds one and drops her.
  • Then finds another and she drops him.
  • And finally he goes for the previous girl who is out in the woods in jungle and so he reaches there by sky diving.
