China Growth Engine

•  The subject of this post is titled "China Growth Engine"
• This is to outline the fact that for the past two or three decades the world was growing.
• It was not growing on its own force but important to note this growth was due to the growth of China.
• China was growing at furious pace and countries and people of many countries were being dragged to economic prosperity in the process.
• I will give an example. In March 2020 markets crashed.
• Subsequently the markets have roared and risen to great heights.
• In a market like this any share you buy would have risen.
• Some shares have risen more than others. Some rose by 50% some by 10% and still some by 100%.
  
• The China growth engine is similar to that.
• Anyone which attached itself to the China engine as a "bogie" or hopped for a ride on this "China engine led train" would have faced growth and develpoment.
• If China grew by 10% or 15% countries doing business with China would have grown by 2% till 10%.
  
• If a developed country like US or Japan grew by 2% it would be too good for them.
• While little backward country like India or Botswana would have grown by 7-8% and that would be too good.
• Thing is being associated with China was good for the world economy and the economies who associated themselves with China.
• It was good for world trade.
• It was like "outsourcing" the manufacturing jobs to China who are experts and world leaders in manufacturing sector.
• Much like India is like a leader in IT and Technology where processes are outsourced to India.
• "Outsourcing" is based on this concept where you do businesses with what you good at and leave processes like payroll or call center and back office to offices in places where it does not matter whether it is Brazil or Phillipines or India.
• Knowledge of English is required for soft skills which places like Ireland and India have.
• But for "manufacturing of hard core technology items" China is world leader and world knows that.
• Decoupling from China will be disaster for world economy and will affect different  countries in different manner.
• I will say for US, Japan, Australia, Europe it will disaster as their costs will increase and no country can match China in manufacturing. 
• They have high hopes on countries like India. I will say they don't know India. India is a country which is known for lethargy and "leg pulling".
• India like "crabs in container" story where crabs keep pulling each other down and so no one can escape.
• I am not sure whether Japan or EU or Americans would like to enter India where they will be laughed at behind their backs. Indian culture is like that.
• And decoupling from China will be disaster for country like India.
• They have to buy technology from South Korea or Japan or Germany which will be more costly for developing country.
• I am using RealMe phone which if same capacity (RAM and memory) if I would have bought Samsung would have cost at least 70-80% more if not double.
• India has more to lose if it decouples from China than developed country.
• Once again I would reiterate that India and China need to work together as Asian nations to enjoy the benefits else they will face a "new imperialism" where one will be used against the other by bigger powers.
• India if it somehow manages to keep the "imperial nations" out it will lose even more as these "predatory nations" will charge more money to India for defence procurement.
• Precious money needed for India development will be have to be diverted to defence.
• India will have development growth rate even lesser than so called "Hindu rate of growth" a term which was used in India before liberalization in 1991 in teh age of "mixed economy".
• The future of India is showing now.
• Few people (who will be Indian) will be controlling entire Indian economy and fruits of development and wealth will be concentrating in these hands.
• And India will have play with wooden toys as latest toys from China would be prevented reaching India just to take toys as example. 
• But same concept is applicable to entire gamut of technologies just like toys.
  
• India is on reversal path not to earlier to 1991 but to proverbial "stone age" like they show in TV serials of Ramayana and Mahabharat.
  

Stopped watching WWE

• People this post is to outline that I have stopped watching WWE once more.
• Now we need to go to a bit of history.
• When Cable TV came to India after 1991 and the First Gulf War, WWE was one of the shows people in India got exposed to.
• In TNT channel they used to show WWE or WCW shows.
• At that time I did not use to watch either WWE or WCW.
• I used to watch MTV and Channel V.
• Fast forward several years, I moved to Hyderabad (1996), Mumbai (1998), Chennai(2002) and finally to Bangalore(2004) and at no stage of life was I following WWE or watching their matches.
• I used to watch movies or visit Cinemas or watch Music Channels.
• Then in 2008 I took Dish TV and in 2013 I took Videocon D2H, then again I never used to tune in to Sports Channel for WWE.
• But I new WWE existed and WWF earlier became WWE.
• Then in 2014 I took Tata Sky Connection and I began to watch WWE.
• Why I began watching WWE because it was a thing which was "regular" and punctual".
• WWE shows happened every week as a pattern.
• First there was Monday Night Raw, then Tuesday Smackdown, then Wednesday NXT and the Main event and WWE Superstars (I used to catch up online as it was not being shown on TV).
• In 2014 at 11 PM they used to show on Ten Sports Mean Gene Okerlund and Rene Young co-hosting a program which used to show past WWE matches and stuff.
• Watching programs like above can generate interest in the Genre.
• Then the programs used to repeat every week in newer and newer episodes.
• Slowly we get to realise that "the latest" is all that matters.
• Same is applicable to news as well to WWE.
• So from 2014 till 2017 I used to watch WWE regularly. Not only WWE but also TNA Impact.
• I saw how WWE was being shown 2-3 days later and then they began showing live.
  
• In 2017 what happened, Carnival Cinemas began giving "Moviecard" which allowed you to watch unlimited movie in theatre.
• Since Carnival Cinemas was located 15kms away in my town, I had to make a choice. No longer was it possible to watch WWE and movies at the same time. I had to drop watching WWE to enjoy movies on big screen.
• That continued till 2019 when there was world cup of cricket and India defeated Pakistan.
• Soon we were bombarded on social media with images of Kohli
• Doing it since the early 90s
• That was it. I subscribed to Sports Channel once more and began watching WWE once more.
• Because we can get sick with certain images and we want more images and video to get rid of the "sickness"
• WWE stars were a different class together and they used to fight to prove themselves and not make poses like we get bombarded with them and I continued watching WWE till the Covid Pandemic hit. 
• It was okay with no audience, again with the WWE trainees around it was also okay.
• But when thunder-drome debuted it was too much to swallow.
• In a sense you see wrestlers watching people who are watching them on the screens and you are watching them at home. 
• You are watching on your screen watching people on their screen watching wrestlers watch people watching them on screen while they are wrestling.
• It is the future and future can drive you crazy scenario emerged.
• Also the Rey Mysterio-Seth Rollins feud was too much for me to digest.
• Since I used to record on Tata Sky Box and watch at leisure I began forwarding the breaks and then began forwarding the entrance and then fights I used to watch at 2 x speed and then 4 x speed and then for Rey-Seth segment full fast forward at 32 x speed used to happen.
• The commentary used to missed during the fast forwards but whatever the superstars used to say I used to hear.
• Compared to Fast forward on Internet or Youtube where only 2x is supported with dialogues, it Tata Sky maximum speed is 32 X with no sound support only visual can be seen.
• Recently I watched the full show at 32 x speed and then I realised why bother at all.
• Just stop watching and problem solved.
• I had recorded several programs of WWE and Impact Wrestling in 320 GB built in Hard Disk Drive in Tata Sky, I began deleting all those.
• And the Hard Drive which was 100% full became 50% full.
• Thus I have stopped recording, watching, following WWE and Impact since last week.
• Maybe when live audience returns or WWE begins moving from place to place like earlier pre-Covid times, I may come back to watch, I just don't know for now.
  

Coffee with D

•  Watched this movie "Coffee with D" after recording in Tata Sky box.
• I had watched this movie but guess I had forgotten about it else I would not have recorded it in the first place.
• Once I started watching the movie the movie began coming back.
• But still could not make out how the movie ends.
• Had to watch till the end to find out.
• Movie ends when D changes his name and begins life as a common man to enjoy the fruits of simple life.
• D is biggest don of India or biggest Don India has ever seen.
  
• For him to begin life as a common man he fakes that he dies of heart attack in live interview.
• Wonderful concept and only some maturity level is required to understand it.
• No way any child will understand or enjoy this movie.
  

Trump and The Pandemic

•  The subject of this post is "Trump and The Pandemic"
• I believe that this pandemic Covid-19 and Corona Virus are inventions of a sick mind who have hatched this plan to get rid of Trump in 2020 US Elections.
• Trump may refer to it is as "China Virus" but we have understand what is meant by "China".
• He is not targeting China as such what he means is that this virus and its concept is "foreign" in nature.
• I have a feeling that if he is reelected he will order inquiry into the Virus and its origins and many people would be held accountable and blame can be pinpointed.
• The origin of this Virus is hatched by devious minds who want to undo the changes Trump has done in America and prevent him from coming back.
• Since people like Bill Gates are taking deep interest in this their motives must be questioned.
• And recently Bill Gates has remarked that 90% of people will not die of Corona Virus as such but will die from other reasons.
• Only 10% will die of Corona Virus according to Bill Gates.
• Bill Gates by telling this is escaping accountability.
• In case enquiry is held, no way anyone can hold Bill Gates responsible.
• If Democrats win what will happen that the news media outlets will simply stop reporting about Corona Virus and it will be shown as having "magically disappear".
• Then Democrats will take credit that it was because of them Corona Virus and Covid-19 was brought under control.
• It is time people take a good look at this.
• Corona Virus originated just for a "regime change" exercise in United States.
• If it was not working they brought in race issue and George Floyd case.
• If the issue was dying out they have brought in Jacob Blake case now.
• Thus both pandemic and race issue are being used to target Trump.
• It is time for the world to look at this.
• United States should not fight endless wars.
• The purpose of Covid-19 is to change regime in US and conduct wars in foreign territories with a compliant Govt. and puppet president in Washington.
• Covid-19 is not that lethal.
• People die of other causes and they are being marked as Covid positive.
• There is supply disruption of medical facilites and many people are dying due to lack of care and that is being marked as Covid casualty.
• If Trump gets reelected and conducts inquiry I am sure the details would come out.
  

Trump vs Others

•  I must confess that I support Trump and hence this post may appear biased.
• The subject of this post is "Trump vs Others".
• I will say it is not just "Trump vs Biden" or "Trump vs Clinton" or "Trump vs Harris"
• It is actually Others.
• These Others include career politicians from both Democrats and Republicans.
• What I have observed that Democrats have deep lust for power.
• How? You may ask.
• I will go back to 2008 when it was Obama vs Clinton.
• Clinton thought she was offering a chance to Obama by telling him to be her Vice-President candidate.
• Then also Obama stuck his ground and went ahead. Clinton lost nomination.
• Here shows Clinton and Obama lust for power.
• Why did the Democrat establishment make Obama President and Biden Vice-President? Why not the other way around?
  
• This is the key question that will hurt the world till the end of time.
• Obama could have been Vice President then and Biden President.
• But they wanted to "project an image" that they are "black friendly" and a President who will steer away America from endless Wars which earlier Bush Govt did not do.
• But what did Obama and Biden and Secy of State Clinton do? More wars in Syria, Libya, Yemen, and so called "Arab Spring" which cost hundreds of thousands of lives.
• They diverted the anger of their own people to Middle East and all.
• Then in 2016 they went with Clinton as candidate. Why? Why did they not opt for Biden then?
• Now in 2020 they have opted for Biden. Why?
  
• Is there no one else?
• And Kamala Harris as Vice President.
• Trust me it is like a joke on American people.
• People around the world have to accept whoever is the leader of America come what may.
• But Americans will be tricked into electing a figurehead as President with Biden and/or Kamala Harris.
• Obama and Clinton though are not candidates they will remain as "Super President" and will be controlling in the shadows.
• For America it would be back to endless Wars with warmonger like Clinton and Obama back.
• Democrats do not mind if a proverbial "Pumpkin" is made the President. Or should we call "rubber stamp President". Which are Biden and Harris.
  
• Trump is the real hope for change in America. He has capability to make change in entire American system and not just the Republican Party.
• No wonder many in Republican Party will also be supporting Biden in the shadows and they would be wanting to get rid of Trump as President and they will want things to get back to "where they were" which was disaster.
• Obama could have opted to stay Vice-President in 2008 and then stayed till 2016 and then he could have become President and stayed for 8 more years as President.
• But that was not to be. Why? Because he was power hungry.
• Trust me people, people in Democrats are power hungry. 
• And they will cut each other throats to stay in power what to say for the rest of USA or the world.
• They are hardly bothered bout what happens to common people of USA or the world.
• They want to push their own agenda of "endless wars" which is self destructive for America and destructive for the world.
• Trump may be pushing for his own family in future of America like when he mentioned his daughter Ivanka as President in future.
• Please people if we look into this case we will be diluting the case for America.
• Trump is telling about future but what Democrats intend to do is now.
• Democrats have got opportunity not to save America but "destroy it" in the name of "change" just like Obama did.
  

Bypass Road

• Watched this movie Bypass Road on Tata Sky Showcase Channel after recording it.
  
• Yes people I have a Tata Sky Recording box and I can record any Channel including Tata Sky Showcase Channel.
• This movie is a timepass movie and you can watch it if you have nothing else to do and you like Neil Nitin Mukesh.
• Movie is shot in surrounding areas of Mumbai (Alibag to be precise).
• But what is hard to believe is how the hero can manage to act as a cripple in face of murderous attack.
• Also the "Chacha" of the film is the villain and he speaks about his family but no family is shown in the movie and Neil Nitin Mukesh is also unaware of his family which is highly unlikely.
  

Wolf Warrior, Sadak 2

 Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.

Wolf Warrior

• This movie was watched on Youtube.
• First got a print which had DVD quality but audio was blank at places.
• So watched it anyway as much of the movie is in Chinese so was only using subtitles.
• But the amazing sound effects could not be enjoyed.
• Last scene where the villian wants to cross the border was re-watched using another print on Youtube.
• Since this is a 2015 movie it has subdued action but still the action scenes are simply great.
• Lethal firepower is shown in the movie.
• And the "mercenaries" are also shown having lethal firepower but what they can do in South East Asia (when they rescue the villain from local authorities) cannot be done inside China is shown. 
• Inside China they get trapped and are unable to escape and their fate is sealed.
  

Sadak 2

• This movie was watched on Disney Hotstar.
• I liked the movie.
• I don't support nepotism but I feel that nepotism cannot be avoided.
• These so called "nepo kids" have larger than life prescence.
• They are so dominating that you simply cannot ignore them.
• Their presentation, style, way of speaking, talking is way ahead of their league.
• Call it genes or upbringing or combintion of both they are far superior to ordinary people or outsiders to the film industry.
• If rebirth is a fact or belief, people should pray that they get born in Film family like was shown in movie "Om Shanti Om".
• Else they have no chance competing with the "insiders".
• Sanjay Dutt, Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, the Godman, the Father of Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt's friend all have played very good roles in the movie.
• After a long time watched a good "Bollywood" movie.
• Sanjay Dutt is must for the movie. His onscreen presence is too huge.
• This movie is like a masterpiece and all should watch it.
• All aspects of religion are covered.
• The Godman is like a Godman who is fake. He claims himself to be All-knowing and having answers to all problems. 
• If we can compare to someone from real life we can to people like Sri Sri Ravishankar or Sadhguru or Baba Ramdev or numerous other Godmen who are being shown 24/7 on TV Channels.
  
• The father of Alia Bhatt is a very big businessman who wants to rule over the world though he is an Atheist is only using the Godman and Gods as a means to end. He is providing moral financial and all kind of support to the Godman.
  
• And the way Sanjay Dutt attacks the Godman and his henchmen chanting "Ram Naam Satya Hai" shows he is not an Atheist but believes in traditional reliegion.
• In short people need to be rational and not follow Godmen blindly is the message of the movie.
• The movie is left to interpretation of the viewer.
