White Hair is a Bane

  • This blog post is about the subject "White Hair is a Bane"
  • Bane is just the right word to describe white hair.
  • In a sense this post is continuation of my earlier post as below:
  • Natural-state-of-hair-and-beard
  • I know I had concluded the topic in the fourth post.
  • Now two months passed since I stopped cutting my hair and started shaving.
  • What happened one fine morning (4 days back) I saw white hair on both sides of head in the region above the ears.
  • I guess white hair is caused by lack or loss of melanin
  • https://www.healthline.com/health/white-hair
  • So I realised that white hair is part of ageing process.
  • White hair shows that your time on earth is getting over.
  • Soon you are going to be "gone case".
  • It means your time of enjoyment is limited.
  • Hindi songs also tell us like one Salman Khan movie song "Jeene ke hai char din, baki hai bekaar din". Means you got only few days to "live life to the fullest", balance days of life are "wasted days".
  • Earlier also I have recommended (in my earlier posts) not to shave but trim your beard and moustache, but the fact whether it is right hits you when you see that white hair is flowing out of your facial hair (mainly beard).
  • In my case when in 2013 I stopped shaving for several days at a stretch I did not have white hair on my beard ( at least not as much as now) and I was 37 then but in 2019 and onwards I am finding white hair when I am 42.
  • When you see white hair flowing out of your beard you have no option but to apply colour to make it black.
  • Beard is a small area to apply colour but when white hair stars showing on your head your area to apply colour increases massively.
  • Then what do you do.
  • I will tell my case.
  • When I saw white hair on my left and right side of the head, I just lost it.
  • I removed my Moser hair trimmer and removed the tuft of hair near my ears.
  • Then it became somewhat annoying.
  • It like when you remove the moustache and keep the beard or trim certain portion of the beard and keep the rest.
  • You miss those parts which you lost and then you may not be able to restore it even in a week as that stuff takes time to grow.
  • So you do the next best thing and clip it all away.
  • And think next time we would see what is to be done.
  • And if you see the white hair on your beard, the best thing is to shave it off.
  • Because in order to trim it it has to grow at least 2-3 mm and then the white hair shows clearly.
  • And there is no use to apply colour to such small beard.
  • If you want to apply colour to your beardyou need to grow it at least 5mm and beyond.
  • Now with hair on the head it becomes infinitely more complex.
  • In fact I will say that being bald is better than showing white hair.
  • Certainly now I feel like this.
  • White hair is a curse and it shows that human is very meek in front of God.
  • White hair shows that human has an "expiry date" written on him the moment he is born.
  • And being bald is better than white hair. Or having tiny hair is better than showing "long white hair".
  • And for beard, being clean shaven saves you the work of applying colour to your beard.
  • But to shave you need to shave daily else it is not worth it.

The Covid19 Coronavirus Scam

  • I would like to say what is happening in present world with regards to Covid19/Coronavirus is a scam.
  • In the name of Coronavirus, Govts all over the world are imposing "lockdowns"
  • I would like to say this "lockdown" is a "coverup" or a "smokescreen" which will enable the Govt to carry out unspeakable acts of horror.
  • They will use lockdown where people are not going out of their homes to target certain communities and ethnicities.
  • What can happen those communities or people "disappear" at the end of three weeks or one week or six weeks at the end when the lockdown is lifted they will be missing.
  • People of other communities will ask where they are but Govt will remain silent.
  • Like they were never there.
  • This is like Nazi Germany.
  • Entire communities of Jews simply disappeared.
  • They were taken to places where they were gassed and killed and experiments were done on them.
  • Same thing happened to Gypsies and Communists and those who opposed the Nazis.
  • We also know same thing happened in Soviet Russia or Communist China where people were sent to labour camps or "reeducation camps".
  • In the case of Soviet Union they were sent to Siberia.
  • In case of China to certain remote areas or sentenced to hard labour.
  • Now what is happening in India.
  • They have imposed a 21 day lockdown.
  • People cannot venture out their homes.
  • They have lost access to Newspaper print editions.
  • Digital editions will mostly reflect whatever the Govt will dictate.
  • Now certain communities will be targetted no doubt about it.
  • The majority community will be forced to stay silent as they may even not know about it.
  • When they step out of their houses they are "lathi charged" and their vehicles are "seized".
  • So they will be forced to stay in their own houses.
  • They will not know what is happening in another part of town or district or state or country where "killing squads" will be working round the clock.
  • I mean there is a possibility of this happening.
  • Nobody to question the right wing govt who in the name of Coronavirus will conduct "unspeakable acts of horror".
  • Present generation of young people are part of "Tik Tok" generation (not even Facebook or Twitter) and they will not be bothered as they can continue to post their 10-15 second videos even with the lockdown.
  • Now they have lifted the restriction on the toll gates so no transport vehicles will be stopped by anyone anywhere.
  • These transport vehicles can carry cargo be it people or bodies or weapons to the place where the bodies can be disposed off in a hygienic manner and so will leave no trace.
  • When the lockdown and curfew is lifted, millions of people may be missing and no trace will be available.
  • Govt may even raze their houses and so it would be like a new beginning.
  • Just think about it. It is possible for that to happen.
  • If not now when the lockdown is "extended" or "reimposed" if the "Corona Virus pandemic" does not stop these things can be carried out.
  • Now only "test run" is being carried out.
  • Remember our PM told last year when pilot Abhinandan was released, now only "pilot project" is being carried out, asli picture abhi baki hai (means real show is still left, this is just a trailer)
  • Now also even if "genocide" is not happening, next time it may happen.
  • So even without using nuclear weapons, millions may get eliminated in the earth and no collateral damage may happen.
  • People cannot be informed as mobiles may get blocked while this is happening.
  • Also all news channels are under their control and people will only know and believe what they watch on the channels.
  • Coming back to Corona Virus, these have always existed in the environment and humans will get immunity through "herd".
  • Coronavirus are a "family of viruses" and many people may not get affected by it.
  • Being testing positive for Corona Virus does not mean a death sentence and that is a fact.
  • Viruses have always existed in the environment and world and that should be realised.
  • Check this link:
  • https://www.sciencenews.org/article/covid-19-when-will-coronavirus-pandemic-social-distancing-end
  • Main points above are as below
    • It will almost certainly take herd immunity to end the pandemic
    • Up to two-thirds of a population would need to be infected to reach that threshold
    • Letting the virus burn through the population would be the fastest approach.
    • But….The costs of such a strategy would be overwhelming.
    • Social distancing reduces deaths but delays herd immunity.
    • Social distancing will need to last 1 to 3 months at minimum, potentially longer.
    • More widespread diagnostic testing could ease the need for extensive social distancing
    • A big unknown: Are all these efforts sustainable?
  • That is always been the case.
  • Newer and newer viruses will always come as earth is a living breathing planet.
  • Lockdowns are not necessary unless the Govt agenda is dystopic or dystopian.

The Ritual, Train to Busan, How it Ends, Day of the Dead : Bloodline, Ravenous

Watched the above movies as mentioned in the subject line.
All the movies were watched on Netflix.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Ritual
  • I liked the movie.
  • This movie is shot in Romania though the setting is Sweden in the movie.
  • Almost for 1 hour we are kept in suspense as to what is attacking them.
  • I felt it is like Blair Witch project kind of thing.
  • But the creature is not a witch or paranormal thing but is an "actual creature".
  • The glowing eyes makes us feel/show that it could be an Extraterritorial or Alien being though not much is expanded about it.
  • Towards the end the creature remains.
  • But in the end they show a highway very close to the forest and how is it possible to get lost I could not understand.
  • And will cell phone not work when you are this close to highway.
  • Or maybe the hero came out from the other side of the forest.
  • And how did the forest people live without access to modern civilization.
  • Maybe it could be like M.Night Shyamalan movie "The Village" scenario.
  • But population gets killed by the creature and is it possible for people to thrive in such kind of situation.
  • But the creature has quality of "mind control" as it can enter the sub conscious as hero and his friends get dreams and nightmares on the way.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Train to Busan
  • This movie is a classic.
  • One thing I have learnt about Korean movies that family is central to them.
  • Family bonding is very important and integral part of the story.
  • This is very good well made movie.
  • After watching this movie I have come to the conclusion that I will not survive a Zombie Apocalypse.
  • Never ever I will make it.
  • Maybe I may survive for a day or two but then I will capitulate.
  • Because I stay in an apartment and Zombies will walk around and I will find no escape.
  • Actually man feels hunger and he needs to step out to get supplies and that is when the Zombies will get you.
---------------------------------------------------------------
How it Ends
  • This movie shows a mysterious phenomena happening on the West Coast of US around Seattle.
  • It mysteriously knocks out power in Chicago which is thousands of miles away.
  • That prompts our hero to make a cross country trip from Chicago. 
  • On the way the hero's accompaniment namely his father in law dies.
  • Another garage worker mysteriously decides to accompany them to Seattle on the way to fulfill California dreams (Is it possible when the world is coming apart).
  • On the way there are attacks from fellow human beings (Americans) who want either supplies or vehicle or simply don't want you to be there.
  • On the way Military supplies trains have mysteriously derailed.
  • But in Seattle when our hero reaches mysteriously his wife and a neighbour are still alive when millions are dead.
  • Then again the natural phenomena happens and our hero manages to race across and cross over to Canada where supposedly nothing has happened.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Day of the Dead : Bloodline
  • This is a movie which shows how zombies have taken over the world.
  • In the age of Corona Virus these Zombie movies feel quite "real" 
  • I mean you become a "carrier" and then you can infect another.
  • Only way to avoid the infection is to avoid getting into contact or "getting bitten" with these "carriers" or "Zombies".
  • In this movie they have shown that a vaccine is still possible as they come into contact with a person who shows the traits of humans as well as zombies.
  • Using that person blood the heroine manages to make a vaccine and save her love interest.
  • Some can be saved using antibiotics but when one gets infected then vaccine can work for only those bitten on arms and slightly bitten elsewhere.
  • Those bitten around neck will face certain "conversion" into zombies.
  • Plus those who have been ripped apart including internal organs certainly they cannot be saved.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ravenous
  • This is one solid movie.
  • Canadian French language movie set in rural countryside in Quebec.
  • Definitely worth watching.
  • This reinforces my stand that no way I can survive a Zombie Apocalypse.
  • This 2018 movie and Train to Busan movie makes me 100% sure/certain that no way I can survive a Zombie Apocalypse.
  • I liked the movie so much that I will recommend all to watch.
  • It is like fighting against Zombies is a losing battle.
  • As they are so much in number and unlike humans they can survive in hostile conditions like standing outside, standing for long hours, loitering around, etc.
  • They can also eat everything including rotten meat.
  • But that is where chemistry, physics and biology come into the picture as one force.
  • Can a zombie survive. And if it can for how long.
  • Because humans need food and sleep and air and water to survive.
  • What do Zombies need?
  • Can they survive without food and water. If so then for how long.
  • I mean are they even possible just like time travel or dragons. 
  • Are they just a figment of human imagination?
  • Are they just the stuff of science fiction.
  • But still we can feel and relate to Coronavirus and how its creating a panic situation just like so called zombie apocalypse might have had.
  • But thing is from Zombie Apocalypse the world will never recover, world ends and/or never be the same like it used to be and "people lost for good" but the Corona virus effect may subside and world may return as it was before and people get recovered and still experience growth and the dynamics like it was before.

Lust Stories, The Host, Delhi Crimes

Watched two movies and one series as mentioned above in the subject line.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lust Stories
  • This is the "prequel" of  "Ghost Stories"
  • After its success only they made "Ghost Stories"
  • Consists of four small stories.
  • Worth watching according to me.
  • But not all stories are the same.
  • The Kiara Advani episode is the best according to me. 
  • It is comedic and that was required.
  • Rest stories are serious and/or sad I felt.
  • This was watched on Netflix.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Host
  • This South Korean movie was watched on Netflix.
  • The same director who directed "Parasite" has directed this movie.
  • Though this is 2006 movie this is quite developed and advanced.
  • Worth watching according to me.
  • Korean movies are a class of their own. Definitely we can say that.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Delhi Crimes
  • This series was watched on Netflix.
  • This is seven part series.
  • It deals with Nirbhaya gang rape and murder.
  • Very good quality of film making.
  • Since they have named it Delhi Crimes they have kept open for future "crimes" to be covered as well.
  • I guess they can now make on February 2020 Delhi riots. 
  • I am just kidding because as long as BJP and AAP are in power, a series on riots can never be made. 
  • They cannot make a series on the riots because for that the "guilty" would need to be punished.
  • If the guilty are not at all caught or let off after being caught there is no question of them getting punished. That is extreme.
  • But in this series episodes they have dealt with from beginning till the end.
  • The end is the situation where the main person (Ram Singh in real life) and Jai Singh in the series commits "suicide".
  • That was "murder" of justice as well.
  • And the juvenile was sent to remand home where he was out after three years.
  • And four remained on death row till now.
  • The last episode also touched upon an incident where same kind of crime had happened with a beer bottle just a few months back and the victim had died but this case got tremendous attention because "circumstances" were different. Here is the Link
------------------------------------------------------------- 

Delhi Riots and False Gods

  • I will write this post about the subject "Delhi Riots and False Gods"
  • Delhi Riots which happened last week post Feb 23 proves one thing and one thing only.
  • That Hindus are praying to false Gods.
  • God cannot be evil.
  • And the Delhi riots which happened was manifestation of evil.
  • And hence Hindus are either playing to Gods which have no existence or effect or are inherently demonic or satanic.
  • How else can you explain it.
  • Feb 21st was Mahashivratri and Hindus prayed like hell to Lord Shiva.
  • Praying like hell to the God and it fills the Hindus with "hatred".
  • Hatred made them on Feb 23 to make plans to attack Anti CAA protestors majority of whom happened to Muslim.
  • There is one more issue now about the struggle about whose God is real and whose is not.
  • If world leaders and think tanks of the world cannot realise it then it is too late.
  • It is not like the Gods of Hindus are the ultimate Gods.
  • If that would have been fact then Gods cannot be evil.
  • God cannot kill innocent people and people carrying about their daily lives.
  • If you think that Hindus are on the "right side" then the Gods of Hindus must be "right". 
  • In that case what happened which was "right" but it was not.
  • Because killing people is not right.
  • Attacking in groups and cutting electricity and chasing people out of their homes and attacking them and burning their property is not right.
  • If that is right then the right is "evil" and Hindu Gods are "evil" and their followers are "evil" and evil is "satanic" or "demonic" and so Hindus are "Satanic" or demonic.
  • And Hinduism is a Satanic cult which makes people who have respect for all and humanity left with them are enemies of Hindus.
  • Just think about it.
  • Be on the right side and stop praying to "False Gods".
  • As False Gods cannot give any result or the result they give would be like being under the demonic forces control by giving rise to hatred inside you.
  • And you commit worst atrocities possible in the world on your fellow citizens.

Venom, Laal Kaptaan, Ghost Stories, The Wandering Earth

Watched four movies as mentioned above.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Venom
  • This movie was watched on Amazon prime Video.
  • I liked the movie.
  • How the Venom finds a host who is a perfect match and then turns into "good".
  • Worth watching according to me
-------------------------------------------------------------
Laal Kaptaan
  • This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Basically you need to watch the movie with subtitles to enjoy the movie.
  • As the language spoken is Hindi-Bundelkhandi mix. 
  • I will say my respect for Saif Ali Khan has increased tremendously.
  • I have begun to realise that he choses his work and does those.
  • This movie is shot at actual locations mostly in Rajasthan and some in UP.
  • It is tremendous project.
  • Basically what is shown is here is Battle of Buxar which made the English the sole ruler of Indian plains and India.
  • Battle of Plassey was the main battle which made Bengal a subjugate of British.
  • But Battle of Buxar opened the entire plains of India "open" to British.
  • Those who sided with them were made "temporary" rulers but they were to fall subsequently when their use was no longer required.
  • And the British used one power against another to degrade and eliminate the rulers until they came to dominate the entire Indian subcontinent.
  • We have all read history.
  • But this allows us to revisit as we see the English gave no option to the rulers of that time.
  • It was either join them or get eliminated as "traitors".
  • I am sad this movie ended as a box office failure.
  • I will recommend all to watch this.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Wandering Earth
  • I saw this movie on Netflix.
  • Yes people I joined or rather rejoined Netflix for one month only.
  • And I joined Netflix for watching "The Wandering Earth" movie.
  • So this was the first thing I watched.
  • I had heard a lot about this movie.
  • This is a Chinese movie and it shows the Chinese way of thinking.
  • Chinese show that humanity has hope and will work together and become successful.
  • But the Indian mentality is people think about their own selfish interests and will undercut each other and if crisis emerges they will not survive.
  • This movie seemed so real when the movie ends we feel the world has already reached the technological levels shown in the movie but the reality is not so and you feel sad as the level shown the movie is very high.
  • The special effects are too good.
  • This movie is definitely worth watching .
  • And as far as Parasite won Oscar award, I would have appreciated if a Chinese movie would have won the Oscar Award as South Korea is one of America's allies.
  • If so called America "competitor" or "enemy" or a "country diametrically opposite to America's views" country's movie would have won the Award that would have more more sense and would have shown true "inclusiveness" and not appeared just as a token of appreciation to America's allies.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ghost Stories
  • This movie was seen on Netflix.
  • It is a collection of four short stories, Bird, Nurse, Monster and Granny.
  • Each story has plenty of "brain matter" to think about.
  • Each story has plenty of "post story" ramifications.
  • (Spoiler Alert)
  • Bird deals with miscarriage and how touching nests of birds in young age affects a woman in old age.
  • Nurse deals with the story of neglect of senior citizen and leaves us wondering whether in the end she posseses the nurse.
  • Monster deals with the fact as to how big town swallows small towns and destroys those completely. Though what story is shown is actually happening in the dream of the protagonist.
  • Granny deals with the fact that people who leave us never truly leave us. More than just their thoughts remain with us. It also leads to fundamental question as to what is death. Whether it leads to rebirth or just passing over to the "other side". And whether Christians undergo rebirth or just Hindus. Also the "seniors" always remain seniors no matter what even when they leave us.

Kaithi, Parasite

Watched two movies as mentioned in the subject line.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Kaithi
  • This Tamil movie with English subtitles was watched on Hotstar.
  • For watching this movie I became a member of Hotstar once more.
  • I could have become a Hotstar VIP member (Rs375 per annum) but I chose to become Premium member which was Rs 999 per annum.
  • I liked the movie.
  • Worth watching.
  • Movie is full of "goose bump moments".
  • Highly recommended to watch.
  • The attraction of the movie is the "gattling gun"
  • It is movie full of brawn and high octane action.
  • Though some gaps are there in the movie, you tolerate those as you want the good guys to win.
  • And that is secret of movies becoming successful, inspite of little losses the good guys should always win.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Parasite
  • This Korean movie with English subtitles was watched at PVR Cinemas, Forum mall.
  • I must say PVR Cinemas gives out voucher and based on points which you earn while watching movies. 
  • And using one such voucher of Rs 50 I watched the last movie Jawani Janeman.
  • For this movie I redeemed Payback points and got a Rs 100 voucher with which I watched this.
  • This movie is great.
  • At least the second half is great and is fully gripping.
  • And in the second half there is endless possibilities of how the movie might turn out.
  • While the parents are out shopping for their kid's birth day, the kid is inside the American outdoor tent and people have gathered all around for afternoon party and the driver-father is looking suspicious and stuff and I had the feeling that the father-driver killed the kid as he was going out escaping as the kid could read morse code which was being sent out by the person trapped below.
  • But then as the movie progressed the kid is alive is shown and it gave me a sense of relief but just then the father Mr Park gets stabbed.
  • The kid then faints and has to be rushed to hospital in 15 minutes.
  • We do not know if the kid survived or not.
  • And it can only happen in Korea and in a Korean movie.
  • As above the 38th Parallel lies North Korea who are the same as South Korea except for the abject poverty.
  • Also in any other country it is doubtful if the person who has stabbed his owner can hide like the driver-father does.
  • Maybe the director just stops short of declaring that the driver-father and his family are North Korean immigrants and the income disparity is worthwhile.
  • Anyway it is highly unlikely that any family will keep people without reference or police verification like is shown in the movie
  • Or a kid with fits and fainting spell which requires 15 minute window to take to hospital would be allowed outside in tent unsupervised in the rain for full night while the parents doze off inside the house.
  • Or a building with a subterranean chamber will escape notice of prospective owners.
  • But that is the magic of cinema. As it makes your brain that these many possibilities are possible or impossible to happen.
