Scary stories to tell in the Dark

• Watched this movie Scary stories to tell in the Dark in PVR, Forum Mall
• I liked the movie
• The oversized scary girl looking like a scary doll in the corridor was scary.
• And it swallowed one of the character of the movie.
• And one where the character turns to a scarecrow.
• Or the other one where spiders comes out the face.
• It has its scary moments no doubt.

Kashmir and UN Security Council

• The subject of this blog post is "Kashmir and UN Security Council"
• Recently the UN Security Council discussed Kashmir in a so called "closed door" meeting.
• I feel when India has taken unilateral steps like abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A it has probably kept the UN in mind.
• India knew what will happen in the UN.
• It had probably kept the worst situation in mind.
• And frankly I will tell India does not care.
• UN Security Council may think they are all powerful and stuff the fact is whatever they do will not matter to India.
• India does not give a fuck or does not give a shit to what the Security Council does.
• At least not the present BJP-RSS govt.
• The present BJP-RSS Govt is led my Narendra modi and Amit Shah who are high level "Goondas" or "thugs".
• They are now the real "Thugs of Hindustan".
• They have known what is to be ostracized and ignored by the people all over the world.
• When BJP and RSS orchestrated the Gujarat riots in 2002 they were under sanctions by the World Govts for years altogether.
• They were not granted permission to even visit the countries of the West. Visas denied and stuff.
• Now it is "payback time".
• They are now in full full mood to play.
• They (Amit Shah and Modi led BJP-RSS Govt) are saying we do the fuck what we want now you do what the fuck what you want to the International Community.
• They know India is too powerful and strong and cannot be ignored by investors.
• They will play India all along.
• India and Indians are working hard to make a dent all over the world and earn goodwill all over the world.
• And Modi and Shah are using the same goodwill in the world to let loose "reign of terror" on hapless Kashmiris.
• They know that in the collective din of the Indians around the world the voice of 7 million Kashmris will get drowned.
• The Kashmir conflict will get drowned in the weight of history.
• As William Darlymple the historian has said India was captured not by the British Govt but by the East India Company who used its own Army to destroy existing Kingdoms which were hostile to it. And installed puppet Govts. 
• We have all read history. All this happened before the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 when the British Crown actually took over the region called as India.
• Now it is upto the International community to decide what it wants to do.
• Does it want to appease the Indian Govt led by BJP-RSS which wants to impose itself on the world.
• Remember now it is Kashmir, tomorrow it can be Pakistan and day after tomorrow it could be Sydney or Washington or London or Beijing or Riyadh who could be facing existential threat.
• Hindu nationalist party just does not care if existing structures and configurations of the world are disrupted.
• They have already kept the worst situation in mind.
• Remember what the Defence Minister Rajnath Sing said regarding the nuclear weapons.
• They can use nuclear weapons against anyone now and that is their outlook in the world.
• They just don't care. They will just bulldoze their way through.
• Indians goodwill is there and they using it as shield.

New Kashmir Policy is Disaster

• New Kashmir Policy is Disaster is the subject of the blog.
• The policy was announced on Monday August 5, 2019.
• I will say the blueprint must have been provided by Israel (Isra-Hell).
• If BJP really wanted to solve Kashmir policy, they should have resolved with Pakistan first.
• And the only way to resolve would be to make the LoC as the International border.
• After making Loc as International Border, India could have internally organised the border.
• The answer is not bifurcation but trifurcation.
• If BJP wanted to do something remarkable and solve the issue, they should have trifurcated the state into Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.
• Now they have bifurcated the state into Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh which is just wrong.
• Why take away Ladakh from J&K state and not involve Pakistan and China in the process.
• It should be understood that a portion of Ladakh is with China.
• Maybe that is what the BJP wanted to do, they wanted to separate the China and Pakistan theatre of Kashmir.
• That is just wrong and will backfire.
• Because Pakistan and China are "iron brothers". And attempt to polarise them will not work.
• And I am 100% sure that people of Jammu will not like this "partial solution".
• The "final solution" would have been to separate Jammu and Kashmir as well.
• So people of Jammu would have "felt free" from Kashmir politics.
• And Jammu state would have functioned like Haryana or Punjab or Himachal Pradesh.
• Also the borders would have become apparent.
• Indian people would not have chased this mirage of capturing back Aksai Chin, PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan.
• The borders between Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir would have become so abundantly clear that it would have shut everyone (Right Wing, Extremists, Left Wing, Liberals, other states of India) forever.
• But now the divided J&K will continue be a thorn for India forever.
• People of Jammu will never feel "free".
• The people of Kashmir valley will feel choked as their access to India and even a portion of their state (portion of Ladakh) will be curtailed.
• People of Ladakh will face the real influx of Indians as they have become an Union Territory without Legislature. Remember they are 50,000 sq km state with very less population.
• So there will be direct rule of Center.
• People of Jammu and Kashmir will be Union territory like Puducherry or Delhi with a legislature.
• That does not solve the issue and that is my whole point.
• They should have made Jammu as full fledged state and Kashmir and Ladakh Union territory with or without legislature.
• So Kashmir politicians would have limited to Kashmir valley.
• And Jammu politicians would have got chance to be like any other state of India.
• Both India controlled Jammu and Kashmir are more than 20000 to 25000 sq kms area each.
• Now the bifurcated Jammu and Kashmir area will remain in contoversy for a long time to come.
• Nothing is solved.
• Indians will be tied to a myth of capturing PoK and Gilgit-baltistan which is not possible without a devastating war which will result in millions of lives getting extinguished on both sides.
• Even if people think Kashmir is the "head of India" which cannot be divided, BJP has precisely done just that. 
• They have split the head of India and it is wrong. Hope the right witng supporters of BJP realise this.
• Peopel should realise that BJP is not only the enemy of Kashmiris but also is the enemy of the nation and their own supporters as well
• Either solve it in full (which would have involved trifurcation and China and Pakistan) or maintain the status quo (like it was pre August 5th).
• Article 370 was a fig leaf which was protecting the region of Jammu and Kashmir and now BJP has shown its naked force of aggression.

Hobbs and Shaw, Judgemental Hai Kya

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hobbs and Shaw

• This movie was watched at PVR Forum Mall
• I liked the movie.
• The special effects and action sequences are just amazing.
• This is hard core action movie.
• But there are also comedy elements in the movie especially when Hobbs and Shaw are discussing between themselves.
• Roman Reigns is also in the movie.
• I feel the Uso's (brothers) should also have been in the movie.
• That would have given the complete good "WWE feel".
• Maybe I have not seen the earlier prequel but I could not get who was controlling the Brixton guy.
• But anyhow, this movie is worth watching.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Judgemental Hai Kya

• This movie was watched at PVR Vega City Mall.
• I liked the movie.
• Rajkumar has taken  risk by portraying a villainous character.
• Worth watching if you ask me.
• Only the reality is revealed in the last five minutes.

The Lion King, Annabelle Comes Home

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Lion King

• This 3D movie was watched at Lakshmi theatre.
• I must say I have never seen a movie like this.
• The animals feel so real. They do not feel like cartoons like the original Lion King movie.
• I mean how could they even make something like this.
• This movie is definitely a "Wonder of the world" and deserves to be the greatest grosser of all time. 
• My humble opinion of course. Then we may think why Avatar does not deserve it or Titanic and so on.
• In the end we can say the movie will find its place.
• All I want to say the movie deserves all the accolades and more.
• Looking back we can say the movie "Bahubali" must have been inspired by this Lion King movie.
• The core story is similar.
• The movie though based on animal story is very much relevant for human beings.
• Also for the environment. How reckless plunder of resources can make species go extinct and leave environment devastated.
• A balance is there in nature and that has to be maintained that is shown in the movie.
• Movie also shows if we get involved in wrong things for selfish interest the same would bring our downfall like it happened to the villain in the movie.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Annabelle Comes Home

• This movie was watched at PVR Forum Mall.
• I liked the movie.
• The movie has got its scary moments.
• But no one dies the movie and that is good for the "feel good" factor.
• I remember earlier horror movies from 1970's and 80's and 90's had a blot of blood and gore.
• Now I guess they scare a bit and then leave us with warm and fuzzy feeling.
• Like in the movie towards the end they show inspite of all evil things in the Warren room for collectibles in the basement, they could still have birthday party upstairs.
• Thus this movie shows it is possible for evil to exist beside us if it is "contained" and no harm in that.
• We do not need to destroy evil, just keep it contained and good and evil can co-exist. That is shown in the movie.

Malaal, Spiderman Far from home, Super 30

Watched three movies as mentioned in the subject line.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Malaal

• Watched this movie at PVR Forum Mall
• I liked the movie.
• If you watch the trailer you may not feel like watching the movie and feel booking a ticket was a mistake.
• But if you watch the movie you feel good and guess the movie is worth watching.
• They have captured late 90's and early 2000's Mumbai quite well in the movie.
• And then in present time when the heroine is no longer there and hero is successful makes it worth watching.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Spiderman Far from home

• Watched the movie at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere.
• I liked the movie.
• How from deep space the villian turns out to be an ordinary guy sitting across the table is shown.
• But Starc Industries are shown to have technology not existing in the world at least I do not know that such drones are based in satellites and will not burn on reentry is even possible.
• Movie is okay to be watched once without any problem.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Super 30

• Watched this movie at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere.
• I liked the movie.
• Hritik Roshan has played a good role.
• His brother played by Nandish Singh Sandhu has also done good role.
• So have Aditya Srivastava who portrays Inspector Abhijeet in CID series and Pankaj Tripathi who was in Maazi movie have also done great acting.
• Worth watching according to me.

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

Game of Thrones Documentary

• Watched Game of Thrones Documentary on Hotstar
• This shows how the last season was shot.
• The studios in Northern Ireland were the home the Game of Thrones.
• Maybe this documentary was released in haste because people were not happy with the way GoT turned out and demanded it be "re-shot".
• When we see this documentary we realise how difficult it must have been to shoot an episode like Game of Thrones.
• It is just not possible to be "re shot".
• All the people making and involved the series are just human. 
• As human beings their ultimate desire is for "closure".
• Humans tend to get tired and they want an "end to something they started".
• Just because people were not happy does not mean it needs to be redone.
• Let us think about the silent majority.
• For them they would accept things as they happen.
• That becomes the reality for them.
• Similarly for Game of Thrones.
• Adjust to it. Drink it in. That is just the way the makers made it.
• If you have an active imagination watch something else.
• Or read a book or write your own book.
• If possible make your own series.
• Just don't criticise the makers of something like Game of Thrones.
