Drop of Semen

  • People we have heard that a drop of semen is equal to 100 drops of blood.
  • As we age we can realise that it is true.
  • As we age we suffer from diseases and get dependent on medication.
  • When we discharge semen we get weak.
  • The body works overtime to restore the semen "lost".
  • Semen production requires a lot of components.
  • One component is collected from joints and tendons.
  • So joints and tendons become weak.
  • And this leads to Arthritis and joint pains.
  • The body will do its duty.
  • The body will replenish the stock of semen "lost" or discharged.
  • This process is automatic and we can do little about it.
  • So the thing is if you want to save yourself from joint pains and maintain flexibility is not to discharge any semen as you age.
  • We are aware that during young age we can discharge a lot of semen and not get affected by it.
  • We can discharge almost everyday.
  • But as we age the frequency keeps reducing and then it comes to stage that even if we discharge semen once a month it becomes too much.
  • Also we may discharge without getting erection.
  • That is common as we age.
  • This is applicable to males mind you.
  • Physiology of females is entirely different.
  • But females do get to the stage of menopause where they stop having periods.
  • I guess men also go through "menopause" and that is how their ability to discharge semen reduces.
  • And they can do "severe body harm" if they keep discharging semen as they age.
  • This severe body harm includes body pain, joint pain, frozen shoulder and so on.
  • Men (and women) can keep donationg blood upto 60 or 65 once every three or four months.
  • But discharging semen will leave them weak.
  • And hence the saying goes one drop of semen equals hundred drops of blood.
  • The truth is no one knows how many drops of blood equals a drop of semen.
  • It may differ from person to person.
  • Even among races it may differ.
  • Just think about it.
  • It might just be true.

Archies, Ertugrul, Wonka, Speech, AHS

Watched above movies as mentioned.

The Archies

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • I must say tremendous effort to recreate 1964 post Independence Riverdale in India
  • Riverdale originally from United States.
  • Now the makers could have made little more effort and made songs in English as well.
  • I saw the English language version and somehow the Hindi songs felt out of place.
  • But I can say that students from metros in India may resemble Riverdale students in lot more ways than we can imagine.
  • There is a dialogue in the movie "Englishmen owe Indians a lot" but that dialogue should have been "Englishmen OWN Indians a lot"
  • The setting shown is like Military history espoused by British Indians shown in Pippa or Sam Bahadur where before deployment they get together and so on.

Ertugrul : Season 5, Episode 141 to 145

  • Last I had seen was till Episode 140
  • But now I have decided to complete the series Season 5 once and for all.
  • So many people get eliminated in these four episodes.
  • Dragos, Uranos, Alincak to name a few.
  • Definitely worth watching.

Wonka

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • This movie is definitely worth watching for the "feel good" factor.
  • Sequel might come and grounds laid for the same.

The Speech

  • This French movie was watched on Bookmyshow Stream
  • Too good movie.
  • It is a bit like monologue with focus on the main actor.
  • And that is the USP of the movie.

AHS Season 10, Episode 7 to 10

  • American Horror Story Season 10 first six episodes dealt with winter season in New England of United States and it was closed.
  • Now Season 10 last four episodes deal with another area of United States and subject as well.
  • It shows how Aliens made a deal with President Dwight Eisenhower to supply with endless technology in return for a place to stay and conduct experiments on 3000 Americans annually.
  • Actually they want to create a species which would be a cross between the Aliens and humans and can survive on Earth.
  • These four episodes show more than any movie can show.
  • They show Reptilians (humans with reptile characteristics) already inhabiting Earth.
  • Moon landing was fake is shown.
  • The Aliens came in 1950s and they do manage to create the perfect "new species" and that is shown in the Series.
  • The Aliens then want to eliminate the humans. Reptilians are acceptable but humans are not.

Sam Bahadur, All Aboard, Pippa, Trip to Greece

Watched four movies as mentioned above.

Sam Bahadur

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Facts which can be deduced from the movie
    • Bahadur was like a honorific surname as he was part of Gurkha (Nepal) regiment (Bahadur is common surname amongst Nepalis).
    • Sam decided the date when India Pakistan war would happen and that is December 3.
    • He gave two chits to Mrs Gandhi which had the details.
    • Sam also decided what would be broadcasted on the radio by Mrs Indira Gandhi.
    • Sam just needed the time to make Indian Army "get ready" 
    • It also means that Pakistan might never have targeted 12 airfields across North India as was accused of in the first place.
    • It could have been a "false/fake news" and based on that India wages war.
    • Based on the news in 13 days the war was over and Bangladesh emerged.
    • Though he retired in 1973 he led a quiet life till his passing away in 2008.
  • Worth watching this movie

All Aboard

  • This French movie was watched on Bookmyshow stream.
  • A fun adventure movie where elders lose sight of the young and the young "have a blast" across several hundred miles in train journey.
  • Worth watching this movie.

Pippa

  • This 1971 war movie was seen in Amazon Prime Video.
  • Too good war scenes and worth watching.
  • Sam Manekshaw is also in the movie.
  • He requests Mrs Gandhi to do military operation 10 kms inside East Pakistan unofficially and that makes Yahya Khan go crazy and he attacks India officially.
  • So that makes Pakistan guilty in the eyes of the world and India attacks with full force.
  • It stops like suggesting that there was fake news involved.
  • Worth watching.

Trip to Greece

  • This movie seems like final instalment or Part 4 of "The Trip" series starring Steven Coogan and Rab Brydon.
  • Well made and shows the beauty of Greece, blue skies, green forests, emerald and blue seas.
  • Worth watching.

Hunger Games, Napoleon, Railwaymen

Watched three movies as mentioned above

Hunger Games : Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

  • Watched this movie on the big screen.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Movie is divided into three chapters.
  • Each chapter leads us to different outcomes.

Napoleon

  • This historical movie was watched on the big screen.
  • I felt this movie is great effort but it is lacking something.
  • I do not know what.
  • But is okay for getting a "crash course" on French and Napoleon history.
  • Okay for watching once.

The Railwaymen

  • This four part limited series was watched on Netflix.
  • It is based on 1984 Bhopal gas leak case of Union Carbide.
  • I remembered "Bhopal Express" movie starring same Kaykay Menon which was released in 1999.
  • Same Kaykey Menon is in this movie.
  • Too good is the last episode where they show the actual photographs with the ones they recreated.
  • They show things in such a manner that you feel you are actually there in Bhopal in 1984.
  • Also in Bhopal Express 1999 movie they have shown difference between India and America.
  • India shown in ground level and America in boardroom with suit and tie.
  • India in Hindi and America in English. That is in 1999 movie.
  • In this movie before the starting titles they show some scene related to the gas Methyl Isocyanite or to the gas leak. That two or three minute clip is too good.

Trip to Italy, Trip to Spain, Leo

Watched three movies as mentioned above

Trip to Italy

  • This 2013 movie was watched on Bookmyshow stream.
  • It is too good movie as it takes the movie out of England into Italy, i.e. foreign shores.
  • As you may be knowing both Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon are very good impersonators and it makes it worth watching.

Trip to Spain

  • This 2017 movie was watched on Bookmyshow stream.
  • Rob and Steve continue their adventures and we get to be part of them.
  • Worth watching I would say.

Leo

  • This movie was watched on Netflix.
  • Too good movie mainly due to performance of Thalapathy Vijay.
  • He is the true star of the movie (and the hyena of course).
  • The background music is too good.
  • Thalapathy Vijay achieves so much in the movie it is just unbelievable.
  • Worth watching.

Through the Glass Darkly, Scumbag

Watched the above two movies.

Through the Glass Darkly

  • Thus American movie was watched on Bookmyshow stream.
  • This movie is remarkable because it shows a story from 1997 which has relation to story in 1967.
  • In fact the protagonist feels 43 years old when she is actually 73.
  • She cannot escape 1967 due to "her mind".
  • It is just amazing movie because it links three decades and we see how close 1967 was to 1997 when it is 2023 now and 2023 is still further away.

Scumbag

  • This Slovakia movie was watched on Bookmyshow stream.
  • This movie shows corruption, gangs, drugs and using underage girls from State institutions just spoil the political environment in the country.
  • Great movie.
  • It shows a side of story which may be common to many countries but few filmmakers from those countries would have the spine to show this.
  • Slovak movie is eye opener in that sense.

Tiger 3, The Trip, Unskeen Skies

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Tiger 3

  • This movie was watched on the big screen.
  • This movie actually wanted to be set in India but that would not be possible.
  • I mean seeing Indian nuclear codes compromised and coup happening in India and Indian PM being arrested and deposed is just unbelievable.
  • Thus the makers made the story based in Pakistan but staffed with Indian actors.
  • And Tiger and Zoya save the day.
  • It is okay for a one time watch. 

The Trip

  • This 2010 movie stars Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.
  • This was watched on Bookmyshow stream.
  • Worth watching.
  • Just watch it to get a big dose of British laughter and conversation.
  • There are subsequent sequels as well and will watch soon.

Unskeen Skies

  • This movie is a must watch.
  • It is like a documentary movie about everything related to space and satellites.
  • Here a person is shown who wants to launch small satellites and deploy balloon.
  • In the process a lot is covered.
  • Starting from Surveillance state, to foreign bases and secret bases, post 9-11 world, Afghanistan, secret technologies and so on.
  • In fact it covers anything modern man which means America has achieved in terms of space and satellites.
  • This movie ends when Covid pandemic starts i.e. in early 2020.
  • Worth watching.
