Kedarnath, 2 Point 0

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
------------------------------------------------------------
Kedarnath
  • This movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere
  • I liked the movie 
  • Basically this movie shows how an inter faith love story happens.
  • It also shows like a Biblical flood happens and the "chosen people" leave the place.
  • Due to the hero's love story, the Muslims are made to vacate the area.
  • And then the flood happens.
  • But our hero returns to save his lady love and is killed in the process while the heroine is saved.
  • But then the temple is rebuilt three years later and the Hindus return.
  • But nothing is mentioned about the Muslims residing in the area whether they return or not.
------------------------------------------------------------
2 Point 0
  • This movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere.
  • I must say this movie concept is too good.
  • It has an underlying message of saving the birds and bees and plants.
  • Because human life depends on it.
  • A group of birds flying together and then coming together to make a big monster or bird has been explored earlier.
  • It was seen in Timothy Hutton movie The Dark Half where bunch of birds flow around.
  • Also a music video I had seen where a flock of birds come together and become a huge moster and chase a man down the street.
  • The inspiration for this movie could be many, Bird Man, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Ant Man, Aliens, Dark Knight and so on.
  • But leaving all aside, the fact that such kind of movie could be made is itself remarkable.
  • I mean the thought came about itself amazing and commendable.
  • While in India movies are made on marriage and love story, this movie can be compared with the best in the world like Hollywood.
  • Since made and thought in India, that is why it is amazing.
  • Because India is a backward country and this is remarkable.
  • There was already Robot and so 2.0 was made.
  • It is like only toppings were added.
  • If it would have been a stand alone movie, it would have been even more remarkable.
  • 3.0 is nothing but Ant Man.
  • Movie is definitely worth watching but it may not be on big screen. But worth watching anyways.

Insidious The Last key, Lost Temple of Java, Mortal Engines

Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Insidious The Last key
  • This movie was watched on Prime Video 
  • It is okay movie to be watched once
  • It shows how an evil entity torments people in one house located near a prison since the 1950's
  • And finally is taken care of.
  • It is enjoyable movie.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lost Temple of Java
  • Strictly speaking this is not a movie but a documentary
  • It shows the temple structure of Borubudur
  •  How people have created such a magnificent temple in Java island like of which never existed in the world
  • People suspect it to be made by immigrants/sailors from India
  • Other theory is that Javanese themselves made it and then abandoned it following volcanic activity
  • It is Buddhist temple without any subterranean chambers
  • All that is to be seen remains outside.
  • Magnificent stone carvings could be seen.
  • This documentary gives credence to the fact that the entire region of South East Asia functioned as a single trading entity including the East Coast of India.
  • People went to and fro before the advent of the Western Powers who then dominated the seas and became colonizers.
  • Documentary also shows how an officer from the East India Company Mr Raffles (founder of Singapore) made the discovery and was not taken seriously back in London
  • East India Company also captured the island from Dutch and then due to political agreements made in Europe the island went back to the Dutch and Mr Raffles had to leave.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mortal Engines
  • This movie was seen on the big screen at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere 
  • I liked the movie.
  • This is must watch full 5 star rating.
  • Movie starts with one city chasing a smaller city which appears like a ship.
  • When in 15th and 16th Century European powers began exploring the ocean things could have happened that way to establish primacy in the waters.
  • Those ships which survived reigned supreme.
  • Defeated ships would have sank and ended in the bottom of the ocean.
  • But here the cities are "gobbled up"
  • Yes the entire city of London exist and now is a "mobile city" and gobbles smaller cities in European mainland converting them to fuel.
  • People are assimilated after stripping them of valuables and weapons.
  • But that is not enough for one commander of London city and he secretly is building a "Medusa aka MedU.S.A" weapon to annihilate settled community in Eastern part of the World.
  • That weapon was responsible for destruction of much of World cities and populations
  • So in a post Apocalyptic world those who control the resources would be supreme.
  • And so the Commander murders the King of London and makes the weapon operational to target a Wall protecting the Eastern civilization which are prospering behind the wall.
  • Two strikes he makes and before making the third strike the weapon is disabled and the commander comes under the wheels of London city which he sets on collision course with the wall following the blocking of the weapon.
  • But our hero and heroine team are able to stop London city in its tracks and avoid disaster as the city alongwith the inhabitants would have probably got destroyed from the impact.
  • Then the Eastern King or Leader allows all the people from "mobile London city" to disembark the "land ship" and enter the lands and so it is a happy ending.
---------------------------------------------------------------

No Temple at Disputed Site Ayodhya

  • I don't believe there was a Ram Temple at disputed site in Ayodhya.
  • Most probably there was a Buddhist site much before to that.
  • Afterwards there were mosques.
  • The theory comes from valid data.
  • India was Buddhist for several centuries before Islam entered India
  • Hindu revival probably happened subsequently in 11th and 12th Century AD onwards
  • Ramanujam, Sankaracharya, Chaitanya among others must have contributed to the Hindu revival.
  • If we see at major Hindu temples in India, they have their origin in or around 10th Century AD (plus minus two centuries). Why? Because we can suspect that earlier to that the reigning religion in Indian subcontinent was Buddhism. 
  • Then Islam entered and in a sense it gave fillip to rise or re-rise of Hindu while extinguishing Buddhism.
  • Later there was Swami Vivekananda and Iskcon founder among others
  • Areas all around India are dotted with Buddhist sites
  • I have read that when Nagarjuna Sagar dam was constructed several Buddhist locations were submerged.
  • In one Jackie Chan movie (probably "The Myth") there is a scene where a lady tells Chan take this river and this will lead you to your homeland. Maybe it may be true if the move was shot in Eastern China. Fact is the movie was shot in Hampi area and the river there would lead to present day area near Vijayawada before flowing to ocean. It is an indication of Buddhism in Hampi area and peninsular India (Deccan) in the past.
  • In Odisha also sites are full of Buddist ruins like Ratnagiri, Lalitgiri and so on.
  • In Maharashtra also Kanheri caves and the location of Lenyadri AshtaVinayak temple is proof that Buddhism was a premier religion in Indian subcontinent before the advent of Islam and the revival of Hinduism by modern day preachers.
  • Another link I can mention below:
  • https://m.huffingtonpost.in/amp/2018/12/04/there-is-no-evidence-of-a-temple-under-the-babri-masjid-asi-lied-to-the-country-say-archeologists_a_23604990/
  • What the above post says that there never was a temple in Ayodhya be for Ram or for other deity
  • Deities have been planted and evidence planted to supplement the claim
  • All evidence points to earlier Islamic structure perhaps Shia or Turkish 
  • Later Babar must have built a grander mosque so that he would be the one to be remembered for a beautiful structure
  • If we go even more centuries back, the reality is Buddhist.
  • It is but a hard truth that Buddhism was all pervading in Indian subcontinent before Hinduism was revived.
  • Not only that Buddhism spread from India to Central Asia (like Bamiyan Buddha example) and East Asia like China, Japan and South East Asia from Burma to Java (Borobodur) to Cambodia.
  • Why Buddhism declined is anyobody's guess. Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe the procedures were too rigid. Maybe people could not remain celibate for Priesthood in Buddhism. Maybe they could not remain nonviolent like the Buddha. Maybe people went back to their roots.
  • But no doubt that Buddhism even today is a living breathing religion whose ranks are growing everyday.
  • Now in 2018 and even earlier to this BJP has been exploiting people sentiments for votes and power and there never was a temple.
  • Justifying violence and rioting and killing in the name of religion.
  • Divide and rule is the motto of BJP 
  • Also they are not bringing out the truth as they will lose the only cause that helps them during elections.
  • Any temple imposed would be an artificial one which is not relevant to past.
  • Apart from that I feel there is do not need to insist that temple be there on that site only.
  • Temple can be built on any place where there is no dispute.
  • But BJP feeds itself on dispute and hatred and can only create disharmony in the country.

Battle of Chosin

  • Watched the above documentary "Battle of Chosin" on Netflix.
  • It is just a one part episode.
  • It is worth watching trust me.
  • It shows the crucial Battle of Chosin where the tides of war was changed in the Korean War.
  • As we know after Second World War and much before the Vietnam War there was the Korean War which supposedly started when communist North Korea invaded South Korea
  • Then there was American involvement under UN flag
  • And within months America had won the war and was knocking at China's border.
  • And then there was Chinese involvement and Americans had to withdraw.
  • It was a complete reversal of the players.
  • Chinese paid a great price and also suffered during the war.
  • It was a "Winter War" and veterans spoke how there was never a war like that.
  • US used Napalm on Chinese forces.
  • US forces were attached from all sides and since there was only one entry and exit it was a scary withdrawal.
  • On one side was valley and other side mountains.
  • Somehow the forces could make a withdrawal.
  • They were never annihilated completely.
  • And US and UN has never been subsequently to that area since the Battle.
  • It makes you wonder if there can be a series like Ken Burns' Vietnam War or "The War" of the Korean War.
  • Surely that would be very interesting as how things happened from 1950-1953.
  • The Veterans are proud that they took part.
  • It was never a defeat as South Korea still exists and continued to prosper and it is far better off than North Korea.
  • While Vietnam War was a catastrophic failure in a warm tropical climate.
  • Here the weather was inhospitable.
  • Battle of Chosin was fought in November December 1950 when things were freezing and much below zero. So weather was crucial hindering factor.

Legend of Jagannath Puri

  • Watched the above documentary "Legend of Jagannath Puri" on Hotstar
  • https://www.hotstar.com/movies/legends-of-jagannath-puri/1770005019 
  • I realised that Lord Jagannath was a tribal God called "Neel Madhab".
  • And some king from central India heard about the God being worshiped by the tribals and sent his emissary to find out.
  • The emissary was unable to convince the tribal chieftain to see the God
  • Then he stayed at the village and slowly married the daughter of the chieftain.
  • Then convinced the daughter to convince the chieftain to make him see the God.
  • Then he saw the magnificient image and after that rushed to his King.
  • Then the King came but they found the God gone.
  • He was disappointed but then he got a dream about a log floating at present day Puri which would be God.
  • He found the log but nobody could carve through it.
  • Then supposedly Vishwakarma from heavens came in an old man form and said that he would carve the image in 21 days provided no one disturbed him.
  • In 15 days the King and Queen lost patience and opened the door to find Vishwakarma vanished and he left the incomplete image of Lord which is present day Jagannath, Subhadra and Balabhadra images.
  • That is the story.
  • Maybe it is just a story. Maybe it is real.
  • If it is real, where did the original Neel Madhav disappear is my question.
  • If it is real, why could the King and Queen not control themselves for six more days and we would have a perfect image of Lord.
  • But that perfect image would have been the first image only.
  • If Vishwakarma himself made the Lord's image it would mean no ordinary mortal could have made the image of God again and so the ritual of "Lord getting new body" or "Nabakalebara" could not have happened ever.
  • If it is false maybe the Lord is false. And everybody has been taken for ride by the emissary of the King of Central India who happened to be Aryan by the way.
  • It is one more case of Aryan invasion of Native lands existing from times immemorial.
  • But if the story is true it is aligned with what Zakir naik used to say in his sermons.
  • Zakir Naik used to say that the God Almighty cannot be compared to anything existing in this earth.
  • If we can imagine something, means it is not God.
  • God is infinitely beyond what ordinary humans can imagine.
  • And Lord Jagannath is "incomplete image of God" as per legend.
  • Because the actual image of God is beyond comprehension of ordinary mortals.
  • In the end we cannot dispute that God exists else we become Athiests.
  • Then who made the Athiests in the first place.
  • Surely everything has an origin however mysterious.
  • I guess praying to some God is better than praying to nothing at all.
  • But in case of  Lord Jagannath it is not just praying but elaborate rituals are attached as well and that makes it a living God.

Rafael Scam

  • This blogpost is dedicated to Rafael Scam
  • There is no doubt that NDA and BJP and RSS have engineered this big scam.
  • Their aim is to use defence as a money printing venture.
  • They know a full fledged war of India will never happen neither with China nor with Pakistan and nor with any other country of the world.
  • So on the name of defence they loot the country.
  • First they keep the sentiment of the public heightened like they are under some kind of attack and invasion.
  • And then they will spend tens of thousands of crores in that name.
  • Normally in Union Budget every year tens of thousands of crores is kept reserved for defence.
  • But this money always returns back because you guessed it there never is a war.
  • But BJP Govt is corrupt and decided to change that.
  • In the name of defense they began spending those tens of thousands of crores.
  • Firstly they do those exercises and nobody questions them.
  • I mean who is checking whether a plane flew ten times or thousand times during those exercises.
  • In the name of secrecy none of these things would be disclosed.
  • That is one of the reason why Finance Minister (Arun Jaitley) was the Defence Minister.
  • Or someone from Commerce Ministry (Nirmala Sitharaman) is the Defence Minister.
  • It will be that much easy to manipulate the finances.
  • In the case of Rafale, there is additional corruption trail which leads to Ambani and that too the younger brother who was bankrupt.
  • In the name of defence, thousands of acres of land will be given to him and ready made contract of Dassault from France for the Rafale jets.
  • All the while when the people are chanting Modi Modi and Ram Ram.
  • This is open loot of the nation.
  • HAL i.e. Hindutan Aeronautics Limited is made to bleed slowly slowly and soon it may be handed over to same Ambani after a few years.
  • Same case happened with Jio and BSNL.
  • What was supposed to go to BSNL i.e. 4G was handed in a golden platter to big brother of Ambani.
  • That is BJP's NEW INDIA. Either you are with them or you are their slaves.
  • There is no in between path in BJP-RSS made India which is in pipeline.
  • Year 2019 BJP wins and it will be mega disaster in India.
  • Maybe Jews and Israel want that complete anarchy in India.
  • Hindus are Gentiles anyway for the Jews.
  • Gentiles meaning is same as Kaffirs in Islam.
  • And Hindus are going/walking into the trap.

Drink Plenty of Water

  • People I want to advise you all that please drink plenty of water.
  • Water will not only hydrate your body but will also hydrate your soul.
  • Basically we are people means human beings and 70% or more of our body is made up of water.
  • Our ancestors also drank water.
  • And our ancestors have gone means died.
  • Only our near and dear relatives may be alive.
  • Those who were there much before we came to the earth would be gone.
  • Now when they die, they do not take anything with them.
  • But they have created us.
  • We owe our existence to our ancestors.
  • Water is a kind of magical thing which exist on planet Earth.
  • It will keep people alive.
  • Now one who does not have a physical body will not need water.
  • When people die we do not know what happens to them.
  • And in case of Hindus they are disposed off in a violent manner, means they are burned in other words cremated.
  • During cremation the body undergoes torture like it has never undergone before when alive.
  • It is burned. Is anything more required to be said. Rest is only left to imagination.
  • But due to this fact the water content in the body is extinguished almost immediately.
  • Verily our ancestors souls will now "search" for water.
  • And since they do not have bodies they can only get water through us.
  • Deep inside our bodies are cells and our ancestors live on those cells.
  • When we drink water through a variety of processes the water percolates through to the basic entiry of our bodies and those are cells.
  • Even smaller we may go to atomic level and so on.
  • Aside from this view I can cite health reasons for drinking water.
  • We eat lots of sugar, fat, salt, oil, carbs and so on. These keep on accumulating in our bodies and increase our weight and create like of "artificial muscles" which give extra jolts to our bones and backs.
  • Thus we have back pain and suffer from lack of flexibilty.
  • When we drink lots of water, these excess fat from carbs and so on dissolve and come out through piss and shit.
  • And hence back pain reverses itself.
  • Now how much water should you drink?
  • The ideal is 3 litres plus. At least 3 litres which means at least 12 glasses of water. Anything more is welcome.
  • Hence drink water for yourselves if not for your ancestors.
  • Drink water for your ancestors if not for yourselves.
