Additional Points : Padmavat, Aircel, WWE

• This post is for few additional points I recollected regarding Padmavat, Aircel, WWE.
• First is Padmavat
• This movie shows polygamy existed among Hindus or at least Rajputs in ancient times.
• As the Rajput king got another wife from Sri Lanka

• Second is Aircel
• When I destroyed the Aircel SIM and threw it on March 2nd morning, before that I had read an article about how to port the Aircel SIM to another network.
• But when I tried to send the SMS, I found that the network was not working.
• I could not send the SMS. 
• That prompted me to destroy the SIM.
• I should have ported to another network earlier.
• I did not expect Aircel to fall so rapidly.
• I was expecting another network will take it over.
• But that was not to be.
• So that is the reason I disassociated with Aircel through the act of throwing away the SIM.

• Third is WWE.
• Another reason for my stopping watching WWE is the bifurcation between Raw and Smackdown.
• When Vince distributed his two main flagship shows to his daughter and son and the stars also got distributed.
• I mean it was good for the Superstars of WWE but not for audience.
• The stars got relieved off the pressure.
• Audience attention multiplied manifold.
• Now they had to follow the story lines of two different shows.
• And the Pay per views also multiplied.
• It was too much.
• Also Shane McMahon told that Smackdown is the place of opportunity or the "land of opportunity".
• When he said that actually he meant that for himself and his show.
• So he made an Indian star his champion.
• That star was Jinder Mahal and was assisted by the Singh brothers or Bollywood boys.
• By making Jinder Mahal the star, Shane McMahon was willing to tap into the "unexplored market of Indian subcontinent" mainly India.
• Thus Smackdown was a land of opportunity for the franchise and for Shane.
• And to some extent to Jinder Mahal.
• They get to go to places where "no man has gone before".
• It was no land of opportunity for the viewers or us.
• It is no land of opportunity for us Indians included.
• They became dumb as usual.
• Then when I started to stop watching WWE there was an incident where Kurt Angle revealed his son was Jason Jordan.
• It may or may not be true but it was too much to handle.
• If true it means Kurt has lived a "fulfilled life" with affairs and all.
• And the way stories are twisted to impact the viewers is too much.
• I mean where are we?
• We are just dumb to provide our brains to them.
• By disassociation we get to get some peace and think about our own condition rather than bothering ourselves with Kurt and Jason story.
• It is just one of the several sub plots we bound to get ourselves involved with when we watch WWE.

Tiger Zinda Hai, Thodi thodi si Manmaniyan

Watched two movies as mentioned above.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Tiger Zinda Hai
This movie was watched on Airtel Digital TV Miniplex HD Channel after recording on pen drive.

• Movie has good special and real effects.
• The explosions looked real.
• The sets looked real.
• Technically nothing is wrong.
• But actually it is wrong because there is not a single casualty in hero forces but the IAS suffer hundreds of casualties. Defies physics and logic.
• Not that I don't like it.
• Trust me I want the good guys to win.
• I guess this movie deserves all the success it got.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Thodi thodi si Manmaniyan
This movie was watched on Airtel Digital TV Miniplex HD Channel after recording on pen drive.

• Movie is good.
• Though it consists of not-so-famous stars, I must say this is as good as Tiger Zinda Hai.
• Too bad it will never get the success like Tiger Zinda Hai.

Aircel : I just threw the SIM

• The subject of this blog post is Aircel : I just threw the SIM
• As we know Aircel has filed for bankruptcy.
• I took Aircel connection in year 2011.
• I had taken Airtel connection in 2004.
• Subsequent I took Reliance (R.Com) connection in 2006 and extinguished within six months.
• I took Aircel data card and used it for six months in 2011.
• That data card also had a SIM.
• Earlier to all of this I had taken one mobile in 2002 which I extinguished all the talktime in two or three shots and never used it again.
• After that I was using another mobile for maybe 3-4 months of reliance.
• In below table I have outlined the details.

  SIM CARDS OWNED BY ME
  Sl No.	Year	Time Period	Network	Status
  1	2002	2-3 months	Do not know	Did not use for much time
  2	2004	3-4 months	Reliance	Used the CDMA phone and then handed for family use
  3	2004	14 years plus	Airtel	This is the network I am using till date
  4	2004	3-4 months	Reliance	Used the CDMA phone and then handed for family use
  5	2011	6 and half years	Aircel	SIM destroyed on 2nd March after bankruptcy of Aircel
  6	2011-12	6 months	Aircel	Aircel Data Card plus SIM. Stopped using

   
  • As we can see above in my entire life I have used only six SIM cards.
  • And I had two SIM cards and I am throwing one away.
  • So I will be left with just one SIM card belonging to Airtel.
  • Don't get me wrong.
  • Aircel Network was fine while I was using it.
  • In addition to making calls and sending SMS, I use data to listen to Digital radio during morning walk.
  • And I found Aircel cheap.
  • Plus Aircel was offering "unlimited data".
  • Unlimited data was good because unknowingly you may use data after expiry of the pack and then your main balance will extinguished.
  • Same has happened to me several times.
  • But with unlimited pack by Aircel this never happened. 
  • Except on the last day when you needed to be careful. I mean you needed to be aware that it was the last day of the pack. So next day you take a new pack.
  • Aircel did not have 4G. It had just 2G and 3G.
  • In several locations I found there were "blind spots" where the 3G network did not work.
  • During those times the streaming of the radio channel used to stop.
  • But I used to adjust and use it nevertheless because of the cost benefit. (Aircel remained cheaper than Airtel)
  • But the 4G and Reliance Jio came along and 3G was not a viable option anymore.
  • I never had a 4G phone and I bought a new Samsung phone.
  • Then I took Airtel 4G SIM.
  • And there was no looking back.
  • In competition with Jio, Airtel began offering "unlimited pack" one which it was shying away from for long.
  • The difference was Airtel was 4G plus 3G unlike Aircel which was still 3G plus 2G.
  • If 3G was fifty times faster than 2G, 4G was twice as fast as 3G.
  • So I never took Aircel pack anymore.
  • I had taken a 300 talktime pack in Aircel in August. More than 200 was still available as on date.
  • But I never wanted the money back.
  • Today morning I read article on the net about how to port Aircel number to another network.
  • Then now I had a choice.
  • Whether to use two SIMs or be satisfied with one.
  • No use in using two Airtel SIMs.
  • I have to port to another network in case I wanted to.
  • But again, I can take a new SIM anytime I want after completing the formalities.
  • And I have an Airtel number which I am using now.
  • So why cling to old number associated with Aircel.
  • So I have decided to end my association once and for all with Aircel.
  • It does not matter if I lose the number. I do not want to port.
  • It does not matter if I lose the balance I do not want to port.
  • Aircel it has been tough but I cannot see you going to dust and my SIM along with it.
  • Slow decay over two three months is worst. 
  • Better to end it all in an instant.
  • And throwing away the SIM is the best way to end it all in an instant.
    

Sonu ke Titu ki Sweety

Sonu ke Titu ki Sweety

• Watched this movie at Carnival Cinemas, Rockline mall.
• Too good movie.
• Worth watching.
• Hard work will pay and success of the movie proves it.
• This movie is very fast paced movie and "youngistan" will like it.
• All songs are good in the movie.
• Rarely we get a movie in which all songs are good.
• Also most of the songs have been shot better than music videos I felt.

Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle, Kikis Delivery Service, Minhoes, Black Panther, Aiyaari

Watched five movies as mentioned in the subject line.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle

This movie was watched at Cinepolis Binnypet Mall.

Movie is okay for a one time watch.

The earlier Jumanji movie was a gem in front of this one I feel.

But this is watchable anyways.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Kikis Delivery Service

This movie was watched on Tata Sky Video on Demand service where the movie gets automatically downoaded to pen drive.

Too good Japanese animation movie.

I liked the movie and it is worth watching.

There are too many elements in the movie, like

    Western Classical music (background music) has been used.
    Cars are from 20's and 30's but the story is modern set in present time.
    Similar to Ponyo (another movie) I felt.
    Use of colour is magnificient

------------------------------------------------------------------

Minhoes

This movie was watched on Tata Sky Video on Demand service where the movie gets automatically downoaded to pen drive.

    Starring Carice Van Houten who I believe is the Red Woman in the series Game of Thrones, this movie is worth watching.
    This is Netherlands (Dutch) movie.
    It is a wonderful world where cats are able to speak like humans and we find lots of alleycats in the movie.
    Reminded me of the MSDos game of Allecats which I used to play before the Windows came along.

Worth watching

------------------------------------------------------------------

Black Panther

This movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere.

Movie is good. I will get straight to the point.

    Wakanda is an advanced civilisation and is hidden from all other countries of the world deliberately.
    A prince comes along and stakes claim to the throne and wants to avenge the "difficulties" that black people faced over centuries.
    Like slavery and colonisation.
    And he orders attack to major centres of the world.
    Unfortunately they did not want to show any widespread attack in London or other city as people dread terrorism.
    So the prince attack remains confined to Wakanda where the rebel forces get destroyed.
    There will be sequel but people I will say it will run on expected lines.
    Do not expect that they will show anything dramatic as they would not want real world to get affected by agitated blacks and other coloured people.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Aiyaari

This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas, Rockline mall.

    So boring movie.
    Such a waste of time.
    They have made a three hour long movie for last 10 minutes.
    Better they would have shown the last ten minutes of the movie and helped people escape the cinema hall from such a boring movie.
    It is so bad that no words are needed to describe it.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Water Dispenser : Indispensable

• This blog post is to outline that Water dispenser can be described in one word only : indispensable.
• Below are few photos.
• There is RO which is used to draw drinking water from the building faucet.
• And then there is the kettle to heat the water so that one can enjoy the warm water.
• Subsequent to that there is the water dispenser which I have bought recently.
• The model is from Croma store and it is their own brand.
•  What my point is that this kind of water dispenser we find in offices and hospitals to name a few places.
• But it is absolutely necessary or indispensable in a location like home as well.
• The water dispenser makes clean water available at a moments notice.
• No need to wait for water to get heated in a kettle.
• No pouring from one glass to another.
• Directly water can be taken and consumed.
• Hot water and cold water can be mixed to get just the right kind of warm water required for oneself.
• Earlier I used to heat 1 litre of water in the kettle for 1 minute and then consume it when it was just warm.
• But sometimes I could not drink more than 1 litre per day.
• rest of the time it used to be normal water only.
• Now throughout the day it becomes possible to consume that water.
• No need to consume it at one go.
• Little by little water can be consumed.
• I will give thumbs up to such kind of machine and recommend all to buy one.

Padman, Maze Runner The Death Cure

Watched two more movies as mentioned in the subject line
--------------------------------------------------------------
Padman
This movie was watched at Carnival Cinemas, Rockline mall.

• This movie shows a real superhero Padman.
• It shows that Ironman, Batman, Spiderman, Superman may be fiction but Padman is real.
• Padman is real superhero.
• Worth watching this movie.
• This movie is like Phullu.
• But Phullu movie may not have made 1 crore but this movie may make 100 crores.
• Like KRK has said if Kunal Khemu was in Tubelight it might have made 1 crore but due to Salman Khan it crossed 100 crores.
• Or if Aftab was there in Tiger Zinda Hai it would have made 3 crores but due to Salman it crossed 300 crores.
• Such is star power.
• There is plenty of funny moments in the movie.
• The scene where the hero approaches a newly flowered girl at night after using ladder is funny beyond compare.
• And unlike Phullu where the hero loses his wife here all is happy ending.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Maze Runner The Death Cure
This movie was watched at Cinepolis Cinema, Binnypet Mall.

• I must say I have not watched the earlier Maze Runner movies.
• But still I enjoyed the movie.
• So many characters are lost in the movie.
• Okay for a one time watch and definitely makes you want to watch more movies of the same genre like a post apocalyptic version of the world.
