Bombay/Hyderabad vs Maharashtra/Telangana

Unfortunately what we are seeing happening in Telangana does not bear well for the Muslim community in general and the country in particular.
Firtstly I will justify this topic. According to me what is happening in Telangana is "history repeating itself". Which history am I talking about. It is the history of the Bombay state.
The 'Bombay state' was huge. Stretching from Karachi till Goa. But it was 'dissolved' and emerged 'Gujarat' and 'Maharashtra'. It is much like present 'Andhra-Rayala' and Telangana. Earlier also in the case of Bombay state, the status of Bombay city was the main question. If it does not become the capital of Gujarat or the capital of Maharashtra, can it become a 'city state' or 'union territory'.
The history shows what happened.
There was 'police firing' in which several people died and Bombay was given to the state inside which it lied and that is Maharashtra.
The plans to make it a union territory was 'shelved forever'. Now fast forward three decades and we find that Bombay is renamed as 'locals' would call it, namely Mumbai.
Similar is the case of Hyderabad but the difference is it was a semi-independent kingdom. After it failed to keep itself 'independent of India' and was annexed, it stood 'dissolved' and its territories were distributed to various states and it became confined to a city.
Now much like earlier, there is fight for Hyderabad. Andhra people want it, some people want it as union territory and 'locals' from region surrounding it want to keep it for themselves.
Also like earlier I feel 'the locals' will prevail and Hyderabad will go to Telangana and it is possible that like earlier 'some blood may be shed'. Also, we may see a 'Hyderabad renaming'. We may not have to wait three decades. It may happen immediately after Telangana comes.
Thus history is repeating and the happenings are eerily similar.
Ultimately, it the 'locals' who are of majority Hindus will prevail. Much like Shiv Sena or MNS same thing would happen in Hyderabad in due course.
 

Bangladesh and Shia Sunni divide

I will say that my earlier theory about the 'fundamental difference between Shia and Sunni', 'India being Shia' and the fact that conflict between Shia and Shia or Sunni and Sunni being deadlier than that between Shia and Sunni is clearly visible in the country of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh was East Pakistan earlier to its independence. Bangladesh independence movement was a violent struggle which was funded by an insurgency movement fully financed and aided by India.
India exploited the situation in East Pakistan which was reeling from a natural disaster like cyclone and 'denial of election results by miltary Govt. of Pakistan which was mainly West Pakistan based.
Now let us face it. Pakistan now is mainly Punjab and Sindh. As I had analysed earlier people from Punjab are like Shia. Even Hindu Bengalis are like Shia but Islamic Bengalis are Sunnis. Islamic Bengal is what is now Bangladesh.
And that is the reason people from India like Bihar, UP, North East have a deep hatred towards Bangladesh. Another point of 'hate' is the fact that people from Bangladesh consume beef but being backward they are unable to import high quality beef from abroad and rely on cheaper alternative like procuring cattle 'illegally from India'. It is a high risk job because Indians are bloodthirsty when it comes to protection of cattle especially cows.
The India Bangladesh difference has no solution except that Bangladesh abandon its existing path and 'follow the dictates of India'.
Which is no doubt happening.
India, Israel, US all are working to 'destroy Bangladesh as an Islamic Sunni nation and make it 'secular' which will suit them.

New Look

After clearing my cheek of hair last week, I had made a new entry in this blog.
But somehow I felt that, that look was not good. If we see from the side, the hair below our jaw is still visible. Thus yesterday I used the Philips trimmer and then took out some more hair. As you can see now I have a "French cut beard". Yes people the one I was running away from stuck to me.
In earlier posts I had written that one should either keep full beard "in its entirety" or be "entirely clean shaven". But there is a middle path and that middle path I have found I feel.
Now not only do I have a mustache but I also have a 'small beard' which surrounds my chin. If I let the full beard grow, it would become huge. It would become like a forest and many people would not feel it well. But a smaller beard would appear 'manageable to them'.
Also I learn that a few people keep 'soul patch'. Reference I got from HERE.
But I have used the trimmer above that portion of the hair which makes 'soul patch' possible as well.
In the above link which I shared the 'French beard' is also known as 'Goatee'.
Let us see how long this new look of mine lasts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile watched another movie and that is 'Zanzeer' (2013 version). I liked the movie. And I do not care about what others felt for the movie. I felt it is a good time-pass movie. Okay to be watched once. And since I watched it on Videocon D2H on TV, I felt okay. Do not know what I would have felt if I had watched it on the big screen.

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.
