New Style

I have made a new style of my face. Now I have both the moustache and some beard but not full beard. I have attached snapshots of the same.

I trimmed the portion between my lower beard and upper part of the face, in short the cheek portion and it is a new style. It is not shaved but it is trimmed. Also my hair on the head is trimmed today. That is, I have given myself haircut today.

With the new look I hope to make it last. Let us see how long it lasts.

I would like to refer the hair on my head as India and the hair on my face as Pakistan. And I am carrying both now. That is, I am carrying both the burdens of India and Pakistan on me, on my face. The blank area between the two regions is the Line of Control or the International Border or "The Wall". Speaking of the Wall, I had read that India is building a 'big wall' in Kashmir to divide the peoples of Kashmir.

I have read that that wall would be 10 metres high and 3 metres thick and stretch for hundreds of km and would be bigger than the Berlin Wall or the one Israel has built.

Good job India. Doing great in dividing a race of people and perpetuating "your hegemony".

Speaking of walls I also watched two movies over the past day. And one movie was "World War Z". After a long time got willpower, time and energy to watch a mega budget Hollywood movie and I will say that the movie is just awesome. I will say that Hollywood movies are in a different plane altogether. Indian movies are good but my feeling is that we cannot compare let us say apples with oranges. We can compare Hollywood movies with Hollywood movies but Indian movies are in a different level altogether.

Hollywood movies are no doubt better then again Indian movies are also 'different'. In any case we cannot compare two 'unlike items'.

In that movie also they show Israel and how 'the wall' is unable to save them in the end. Certain portions in the movie were too good. Like the WHO facility scene in Cardiff. Or the way Israel completes the Wall after hearing about it from India. The first scene from Philadelphia, etc.

Second movie I watched was Imran Khan starrer Hindi movie "Kidnap". I liked the movie though I believe the movie was a box office failure. It is okay for a one-time watch. Also, Sanjay Dutt is also there in the movie and is real star material I feel.

Gutthi / Sunil Grover

This post is for the character in the show 'Comedy Nights with Kapil' and that character is Gutthi.
I feel what the channel claims is correct, that Gutthi belongs to 'Colors channel'. Actors may come and go but the characters remain the Copyright of the respective channels.
We have seen that happening across numerous TV serials. One of the most famous one being 'Balika Vadhu' who was replaced. The character remained but the actor changed.
Similar is the case with Gutthi. But let us now forget about Gutthi and see Sunil Grover as an actor. I would say that Sunil Grover is terrific as an actor. We have seen time and again in the Kapil show where he would portray numerous characters.
Mainly he used to portray old man characters and he was excellent. Now such an excellent actor being typecast as just Gutthi would be unfair.
We are used to seeing Sunil Grover in numerous roles.
Actually we can see a change in Kapil show after he began on the new set which was rebuilt after a mysterious fire destroyed the old one.
The first change was that, 'the naukar' was changed. Personally I felt that the earlier naukar, Naseem Vicky was too good.
Next change was that Kapil 'reduced the comedy act' which he used to do at the beginning of the show along with Sunil Grover and others and now more time was being spent with the celebrity guest. That I feel is unwarranted. Kapil no doubt can do comedy on his own and along with his team it is even better. Celebrity I feel is like the Cream and cherry on top of the cake. The cake is good. Cream makes it better and then with the cherry on top, it is complete. But the main thing is the cake. And that is the 'hardcore comedy' which Kapil  and his team does.
Third I found that Sunil Grover got a 'permanent job' as Gutthi (along with another actor as Palak). As I said earlier, Sunil Grover is a versatile actor and can portray numerous roles. Gutthi is just one of the character he played. And as we have seen even earlier before the fire accident, Gutthi mainly entered when there was the celebrity guest around. At the beginning of the show when there was no celebrity, Kapil and team carried on with their act without Gutthi. Thus Sunil Grover was 'made to lose a chuck' of what he was acting on the show. That was wrong I think and probably that is the reason Sunil Grover felt 'constricted' and left the show.

Watched one more movie yesterday and that is "Ramaiyya Vastavaiyya'. The new movie starring Girish and Shruti Hassan and directed by Prabhudheva. I liked the movie. It is worth watching once at least.

Miss America/ Hunger Games/ Bigg Boss update

I just watched Miss America back to back 2013 and 2014 (current year) shows.
I have to tell that in 2013, there is like a 'magic touch' in the show. In 2014 show they just lost it. I have no problem with the winner Nina Davuluri. Appears okay (actually I still have half hour of show to watch).
My problem is that from America we expect 'something classy'. Like the 2013 show.
Just watch the 2013 show and then compare it with the 2014 show and you will know what I am talking about.
The 2014 show appears 'worse than a show from the Third World'. Or if not worse then 'something similar'. Only most of the people (in audience) were white.
Maybe hosting it in Atlantic City instead of in Las Vegas made the difference.
Anyway, I am confident that America will bounce back. But definitely it cannot become 'what it was'. I feel America is becoming more multi-cultural and the shows reflect the same and the 'new poor' or the ones 'denied access' are the ones who are of white origins.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hunger Games new trailer is out and saw that in MTV Movie Awards show (2013). I feel after the original Hunger Games being 'almost devoid' of black (negroid) characters, this time they have taken care to include a lot of 'black faces'.
Maybe the original movie makers never thought that Hunger Games would become so big. And hence, in the sequel, they took care to ensure that the 'stain of racism' is removed in the sequel.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bigg Boss November 25 episode I watched and feel it was nice. In that episode due to violation of the rules of the house, Bigg Boss stops access to the kitchen and in that respect food of the contestants.
The point which was too good was that 'food is a basic requirement in life'. In fact it is the most basic requirement. A child who is born wants food. In fact this 'very requirement of food' is what makes Zombie movies popular. Because when the 'dead become zombies' in the movies they lose all power of thinking which makes them human and then they revert to the 'most basic of the needs', i.e. satisfy hunger.
Another scene which was good was when remaining little quantity of Chyawanprash belonging to Sangram was shared among many inmates of the house. They ate each other's 'jhoota'.
And this increased their bonding, I feel.
After googling, I find there is no 'corresponding English word' for 'Jhoota (food)' in English. Thus, it could be 'infected food' (infected by the person who ate it or tasted it first). But the infection might not actually be there. It is there in a 'mental state'. And since the food is 'jhoota', it becomes 'unfit for consumption' by the person who considers it 'jhoota'.
Thus people who can eat each others 'tasted food' trust each other and are closer than those who don't or avoid it altogether.

Two more movies

Watched two more movies over the weekend.
"Goliyon Ki Raasleela-Ramleela" and "Gori Tere pyar mein". Both movies are worth watching according to me. But once. No need to watch second time. For second time you can watch some other movie.

Shaving at night

Meanwhile, I did not shave my moustache over the past month and the result was that my nose became kind of stiff and later a boil formed over my cheek. Earlier I had also experienced stiff nose while I had shaved my moustache and left my beard.
Basically the problem is like I said is that when I shave only either the moustache or the beard, this problem of nose getting stiff and boils formation happens. This could be due to:

1. lack of exercise
2. pollution
3. too much oily food
4. not enough intake of water
5. sedentary lifestyle 
6. improper blood circulation
7. not proper bowel movement
8. not adequate sleep
9. lack of fresh air, etc,

But when I shave the entire face (beard + moustache), this problem of nose stiffness and boils does not arise. So, I started shaving again but this time it was different, I shaved at night or evening. After the day is over, whenever I got free time I shaved. Like before dinner time and before retiring.

What was the result of this? The result was next day in the morning though I had shaved the previous day, I still got the unshaven look. After continuing as such for a few days, I thought of what use is this?

I do not look good with the unshaven look lasting the full day for the next day. Of what use is shaving at night. Okay it may be good for one who shaves twice a day but definitely not cool for the person who shaves once a day.

A person who shaves once a day is better off shaving in the morning when the 'fresh shave look' will last for the whole day.

Thus I discontinued the practise. I also was shaving daily after many months and let me tell you that the experience was not pleasant. As I have told earlier, shaving is like a 'mutilation'. I felt as though I had 'violated myself'. I felt I had 'sinned'. While shaving, I felt I was 'all alone in this world'.
Also, we see a beautiful lady on TV or newspaper or real life and we feel 'jealous'. Obviously, a man can never be as beautiful as a woman when he shaves. There is no competition because a woman will win hands down. But with beard a man can establish 'own identity'. He does not have to 'feel jealous'. The mans look (with beard) would be independent of a woman. And man with beard would be beautiful.

It is no doubt good for the face area because the blood circulation can happen better when it is clean shaven and problem of the 'stiff nose and boils on cheek' would not arise.
Thus at present for the last 5 days I am not shaving anything. In my 5 day observation, I have found if we do not let the blade touch our skin in the face area or in other words do nothing to the face, there is no 'nose stiffness' and 'no new boils on the cheek'. So, I have decided to stop shaving. Let us see how long it lasts.
My shaving kit and cream is lying idle. My beard trimmer is also idle but I can use it when my beard grows long enough. Long enough to be trimmed. But if I don't shave anything, my shaving kit, my Gillette Fusion is lying idle and I may never use it again if I do not shave.

And let me tell you this blade is super. Earlier, I was using blades which never used to go for more than a month. But this particular blade will go for six months. I have been using this since 2011. You can trust me on this. Daily shaving with Gillette Fusion will go for six months (Aram Say - Means "for sure"). And daily shaving means, using foam twice in the same shave.

Shia Dreams vs Sunni Dreams

This topic Shia dreams vs Sunni dreams. What is it about?
Basically, this is the outlook which these groups have towards the future.
Now what will a 'Shia dream' be like. A Shia dream will be that someone from family member of the 'clan' will emerge and 'look after the future interests'.
A 'Sunni dream' will be that they will 'swallow the opposing parties' and they will become 'like them' and then leader can emerge from either the 'original Sunnis' or the 'new Sunnis'.
But both the parties are in for disappointment.
Because the 'leader' Sunnis would be waiting for may not be a Sunni. He may well be a Shia. Also, Sunnis will get a rude shock 'in time'. Because, mankind is a 'conflict oriented species'. And Sunnis will find differences among themselves as well. Also, the 'great dream' of Sunnis to convert the 'mass into Sunni' may never materialise. Shias will remain Shias. The leader Sunnis are expecting may never come from Sunnis.
I will say that the British empire which ruled over the Indian subcontinent was like Sunnis because they wanted to convert people into someone like them. But ultimately they got 'rude shock'.
The 'Shias of India' rose up against British and they had to leave the Subcontinent.
Let us not look at religion. Let us look at the essence of what a race is like and in that sense "India is like Shia". Also we can say that the ongoing tussle in Pakistan is between Shia and Sunni elements. We cannot pronounce entire Pakistan as Sunni. There is a 'definite Shia soul' inside Pakistan.
How will the Shia dream never materialise? Shias expect someone from 'their family clan' will emerge as a leader but the fact is such a leader may never come. It may be an endless wait. And since they are morally and ideologically opposed to Sunnis they will never accept a Sunni as their leader.
What will be the result? It will be like "In a kingdom of blind, one-eyed jack is the king".
Both the dreams are likely to fail and mankind would be waiting for a huge disappointment.
Unfortunately, we can term or classify the entire world into these two blocks of Shia and Sunni. And neither block is perfect or can provide a perfect solution.
Whether we admit it or not, we remain either Shia or Sunni no matter what religion we follow.

Watched one more movie over the last week and the movie is 'Boss'. Movie is okay for a one time watch.

Three more movies

Watched three more movies over the last few days.
"Lootera" and "Krrish 3". The first one was on internet and next one on the big screen. Both movies are okay. While one shows how people can be like good while being evil. Other one also shows the same thing. But Krrish 3 shows like how family is important. It makes the full movie like a family affair.
Like what I had said about Indians being more similar to Shias and Iranians is clearly visible in the movie. Especially people from Mumbai hold much similarity to Iranians.
One more movie for which I am editing the topic headline as well as the post.
"Cycle Kick". Too good movie. I liked it super-very-much.
