Vanguard, Coolie No.1

 Watched two movies as mentioned above.

Vanguard

• This movie was watched on big screen after ten months. Yes people after 10 months I watched a movie on the big screen.
• Last movie watched on big screen was on Feb 06, 2020 was Parasite
• This movie Vanguard was watched at Lakshmi theatre, Tavarakere.
• I liked the movie.
• Starring Jackie Chan, this movie is a Chinese dubbed movie.
• It basically shows the Chinese Psyche.
• Chinese people want to work with people all around the world but they do not want to get involved with someone who is involved in terrorism and wants to harm innocent 
• Almost all countries will be like that.
• Except probably Anglo-Saxons like Americans or Australians or British or Canadians, more specifically America the Great US of A, they will not bat an eyelid while bombing countries for "regime change" or support terrorists as a front against others, much like British used to support "Pirates" on high seas and carry out "false flag" operations (False flag originates from seas where ships hosting "false flags" will attack other ships).
• This movie is shot in London, Africa, India, Dubai
  
• The segment shot in India (Rajasthan) is made to look like Arab country of North or Central Africa.
• While the owners speak Arabic in India segment, the assistants to owners are speaking in Hindi.
• Movie is a non-stop thrill ride and definitely worth watching
  

Coolie No.1

• This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
• Before watching this movie I was wondering why David Dhawan did not release it on the big screen.
• I thought that if it would have got released on big screen I would have been one of the first persons to watch it.
• But now after watching it on small screen I realise David Dhawan did great.
• No need to release the movie on big screen and face possible "disaster" due to lack or crowds or "bad publicity".
• Movie is not bad but the problem is people will compare it old "Coolie No.1" and Govinda and Kader Khan.
• That is the problem with actors also they would have watched the original several times and try to mimic the original.
• I will say in situation like that all actors have done great job.
• Actors like Javed Jafri, Varun Dhavan, Sara Ali Khan and Paresh Rawal among others have proved that they cannot be counted out in these 'modern times'.
• Since it is a cheating case or case of fraud in movie the sadness especially of Sara Ali Khan when her husband does not return is captured in brief moments perfectly.
• Movie is worth watching once if not more.
• It may also encourage curiosity for you to watch the original and compare.
  

Water not Weapons, Erturul Season 2

Watched two more documentary and series as mentioned above.

Water not Weapons

•  This documentary was made on Dr Tetsu Nakamura, a Doctor by profession and a great man who was involved in Afghanistan and was directly responsible for greening hundreds of thousands of hectares of barren wasteland.
• He worked hard for the welfare of the people.
• Wouldn't it be nice if Anglo Saxons and other people part of NATO war do such kind of things instead of drone bombing and helicopter attacks on people.
• The whole idea if people have water and are involved in agriculture and trade they would have no time for war.
• Please I appeal to all people please watch this documentary.
• Share them with your leaders and policymakers.
• No sane man or woman will ever want war.
• They want to prosper and war is no way to prosper.
  

Erturul Season 2

• After completing Season 1 of Ertugrul, I watched Mirzapur two seasons and Paatallok and now I have started watching Ertugrul Season 2.
• Just like I had though earlier, this season deals with the conflict between Mongols and the Turk tribes.
• I have only watched till Episode 16 till now, there are 103 episodes as per Search.
• Still long way to go.
• But this series is definitely worth watching.
• We have to think where do the Turk tribes origin Analysed here
  
• So what we can understand that Mongols and Turks have same origins perhaps separated by a few thousand years.
• Turks embraced Islam but Mongols did not but ultimately Mongols did assimilate in the lands they conquered.
• Wherever they settled ultimately Mongols became part and parcel of that country and that is the story.
• But the invading Mongols were very brutal.
• It is amazing that Turk tribes were able to survive the onslaught.
• Maybe the 103 episodes of Season 2 will show how they were able to survive maybe it will throw a glimpse.
  

Paatallok Conclusion, De Gaulle Documentary

 Watched several things over the past few days. Just recollecting a few as below. Obviously did not watch any movies. It is only series and documentaries.

Paatallok Conclusion

• This series was concluded on Amazon Prime.
• I felt this series runs around and needed to be concluded somehow.
• But the producer/director brought the "love of dogs" equation into the picture.
• But if their aim was to get rid of Vishal Tyagi they could have got rid anyway.
• But they had bigger plans.
• After the death of the elusive rebel, they did not have a choice.
• And they thought of going big.
• But I do not understand how a plot hatched to eliminate someone and blame on Pakistan falsely can propel a new party to national limelight.
• Maybe the plot was more complex. I did not get it.
• But anyway I am not watching it again.
  

De Gaulle Documentary

• This documentary was watched on TV5 Monde French Channel with English subtitles.
• What I have to say De Gaulle lived a life which was never without a "dull moment".
• Every second, every month and year of his life was eventful.
• He was the person who made modern France as it is today.
• He transitioned the country from First World War to Second World War to the end of France overseas colonies.
• He was a true person who was not afraid of any country or person.
• In Second World War during taking refuge in Britain he used to argue and fight with Chuchill all the time. 
• He was friends with all leaders he came across in his life.
  
• He strove to keep France free from American influence and keep unique French identity.
• France is more than just language. It is different to Anglo Saxons.
• He was supporter of rights of Quebec and Mexico and other weaker countries.
• He brought about a smooth transition and transfer of power in Algeria and repatriated more than 1 million  disgruntled French occupiers who were claiming Algeria as their own.
• Overall worth watching.
• He has dealt with all persons starting from Churchill to Stalin to Castro to Kennedy to Kruschev.
• I will say they do not make people like them De Gaulle no more.
• Truly a great man. A man from different times.
  

Why is Trump not Conceding

•  The subject of this blog post is Why is Trump not Conceding?
• It is a reason which is bothering a lot of people.
• I will say Trump is not conceding because there is no one above him.
• In 2008 George Bush conceded because that was the end of road for him.
• No person in United States can stay as President beyond eight years or two terms.
• For the case of Hillary Clinton in 2016, there was Barack Obama above her who asked her to concede.
• Not only that he asked to call Trump as well which she did probably to congratulate him.
• Now Trump is the President of the United States and is only a one term President.
• He has still one term to go.
• There is no one in Republican Party or elsewhere who can direct him what to do.
• If allegations about him being a Putin puppet is true, then he probably listens to Putin.
• And Putin probably wants him to stay put till the very end.
• And that is what is happening.
• Trump is unwilling to leave office for "Sleepy Joe".
• I will say "Sleepy Joe" is apt word to describe Joe Biden because when you listen to him he likes "puts you to sleep".
• I will say it is not Joe who is sleepy but the fact that his speeches can put you the listener and audience to sleep.
• Trump is also unwilling to leave office to Kamala Harris as he is anti-woman.
• He defeated Hillary Clinton after a nasty fight in 2016.
• Hillary loved to play the woman card, in fact some say she played it too much.
• Kamala Harris can do well not to play the woman card too much.
• But, Trump has probably no option and sooner or later he has to "give in".
• I mean slowly the realisation is creeping that he may have to concede.
• He will slowly realise that he was being "used".
• Some people used him to achieve their narrow political ends and now he has been let off.
• He must be feeling like (pardon my words) a "whore".
• Trump went after women throughout his life and must have used a lot of "whores".
• Now he is being treated as one.
• Yes Mr Trump reality bites and bites hard.
• Years of going after career politicians has had its repurcussions.
• Can you imagine Mr.Trump, if those career politicians gang up and get rid of you.
• It will be very simple after what you are doing and what happened, namely the Election results.
• And if you are prosecuted for your actions later, you will become ineligible to run for office again.
• Think about it.
• Everyone just ganged up on you.
• If that was not enough they brought a "fake pandemic" just to get rid of you.
• They are powerful people, and they want to get rid of you Mr Trump.
  

Hillary : The Fourth Episode

• This post is titled "Hillary : The Fourth Episode"
• Yes people I have completed watching the fourth and last episode in the series "Hillary" which is based on the life story of Hillary Clinton.
• I will say the fourth episode is the most important episode in the series.
• Fourth episode brings to conclusion the story of Hillary Clinton.
• Basically the fourth episode plugs the gaps.
• We know Hillary was the First Lady when Bill Clinton was President.
• What did she do after that?
• The fourth episode plugs the gaps.
• What I observed from fourth episode I will try to list out below:
• Hillary became Senator from New York.
• In fact when 9-11 happened, Hillary was a Senator from New York.
• Maybe she was aware that 9-11 was an insider job maybe she wasn't.
  
• Compared to Bill Clinton who used to work only with Democrats, Hillary worked with a wide spectrum of leaders across the board.
• She says she is particularly grateful to George W Bush who gave 20 billion Dollars to New York upon request by Hillary to rebuild New York's economy after 9-11 attacks.
• In 2008, she lost to Barack Obama as experts point out she was too "insulated" and was not very "open" like Obama was.
• But she was happy for Obama she says in the documentary.
• She said that people were not willing to accept a woman as President. The fact that a black man became President was good enough for her.
  
• Then she became Secretary of State and she loved the position as she got to travel 112 countries and logged more than 957,000 miles of travel in the process.
• In fact she wanted to travel to places where there were no visit by Secretary of State ever.
• She visited Pakistan six times.
• Also visited Belarus and Yemen.
• But she angered Putin and that was a mistake according to experts.
• George Bush had said that when you look to Putin eyes you can see his soul. Hillary said you see Putin eyes and you see a KGB agent. 
• Following that Putin said Hillary had no brain.
  
• Hillary actively pursued "regime change" in Russia. Elections held in Fall 2011 in Russia were not free and fair according to Hillary.
  
• That encouraged "dissenters" in Russia to protest.
• Putin then called Hillary as she was the one encouraging "riots".
• Putin knew she was extremely smart and so he made efforts to ignore her and hence backed Trump as Trump was like a Putin puppet a fact which Trump denied during the Presidential debates.
• Even in Benghazi where an US Ambassador and two more American people lost their lives, Hillary was called to answer, she says she is no more responsible than she is for other Ambassadors as there are 270 US ambassadors across the world and she cant be held personally accountable for their actions.
• The US Ambassador traveled to Benghazi on his own accord.
• I thought maybe Russia or paid mercenaries organized the attack at benghazi, we will never know.
• Libya was war torn anyway, particularly due to Hillary one of the chief architect and organizers of so called "Arab Spring", who knows who attacked.
• She had to leave office of Secretary of State in 2013.
• And her legacy was marred by Benghazi attack.
• She also decided that she would run for President in 2016 after Obama
• She thought it would be a cakewalk and she could become President by thumping majority.
  
• But then the results were out and Hillary lost to Trump.
• That was saddest day of her life probably.
• Even while watching the episode I felt like crying.
• But then Obama called Hillary and asked her to concede.
• Hillary said she would do it the next day and she did but before that she had to call Trump which she must have done.
• That was the end of journey for her.
• She says and the episode shows that her actions opened the path for women around the world including United States.
• She says there were now more US Senators and women running for public office than there ever were in United States.
• And there were six Democratic women Presidential contenders for 2020.
• A lot of that credit goes to Hillary.
• Hillary's punchline was "Women's right are human rights" a fact which was followed around the world.
• She had said the same in 1995 where there was a huge multi-nation Human Rights related event attended by hundreds of delegates from around the world held in China.
• The speech she gave there has been followed by women around the world as Testament and Template for women's rights.
• Copies of her speech in 1995 were made into booklet and distributed around the world.
  
• She opened the path for a lot of women and that is her achievement.
  

Modi Journey of a Common Man, Hillary

•  Watched two series as mentioned above:
  
• Modi Journey of a Common Man
• This was watched partly on ErosNow and partly on Airtel XStream App
• I had joined Erosnow for a year by paying Rs399 in February 2020.
• Then I accidentally deleted the account
• Now I am unable to access  the account which I had joined using mobile number.
• I can login using Email ID but it is basic account.
• So I had to resort to Airtel Xstream and as I am a customer of Airtel, I have free access to Airtel XStream.
• Well the series is an effort in "whitewashing Modi's character"
• It is like "The Least of These" movie which was based on Graham Staines killing.
• It seems the Sangh Parivaar have done no wrong ever.
• Anything bad has happened, no one from Bajrang Dal, VHP or RSS is ever involved.
• That is shown in the series.
• Modi is shown to be a Godly person and whatever he does is for welfare of people.
• The series has shown several flashbacks to Modi's youth from where he draws "inspiration".
• It seems Rath Yatra which Advani did was Modi's idea is shown. 
• I had seen a video where it was shown wherever Rath went there were riots and people died.
  
• The Indian flag hoising at Lal Chowk in Srinagar was also Modi's idea. 
• It is shown Modi is a friend of Muslims. Why? Because 2000 died instead of 20000 in 2002  Gujarat riots.
• Season 1 has seven episodes and Season 2 has three episodes.
• Outside India this series is available on Amazon Prime Video.
  
• Hillary
• I have bought recently Tata Sky Binge Plus Box (Tata Sky Binge Plus)
• Along with the box came subscription for various Apps including Sony Liv.
• I was browsing through Sony Liv and I came across Hillary series.
• This four part series documents the life of Hillary Clinton.
• It is very real and shows life and struggle of Hillary from childhood till the time she loses to Donald Trump.
• It is shown that she is "one of a kind". It is very real. I mean that is who she really is.
• Compared to Modi series where he is projected as Godman, Hillary is real.
• No actors are used and Bill Clinton and various aides of Hillary speak on the life and times of Hillary.
• It is a very intense experience to watch and we cant help and appreciate Hillary Clinton.
• I am yet to finish the last episode of the series, the fourth one.
• I have a feeling US people lost a lot as Hillary Clinton could have been the first woman President of US.
• Instead once they had to settle with Barack Obama in 2008 and next time in 2016 with Donald Trump.
• US people never know what they lost.
• A white woman could be President.
• But now if something happens to Joe Biden, they have to contend with Kamala Harris.
• But one thing is clear, even in 2016, Barack Obama was clear and Hillary Vice President running mate was clear that Trump is a fascist and it is dangerous whom Trump represents.
• The people that Trump represents get empowered when Trump is in power and that is dangerous.
• Trump then becomes a symbol or figure and not a leader actually.
• Same they have shown in beginning of fourth episode.
  

Solution to Acidity

• People this blog post is titled "Solution to Acidity"
• People I have found solution to acidity problem without medicines.
• And that is having "warm water"
• I am personally using Prestige Kettle
• This helps in warming water.
• This I realised around middle of last month when I had throat pain.
• I contacted Doctor and he told me to do gargling with warm water with salt thrice a day.
• Also I shifted to drinking warm water.
• I know it is a vicious circle.
• People those who have acidity may find warm water itself causes acidity.
  
• But please do it.
• Once you start your body will adjust to warm water.
• And once your body is adjusted to warm water do not shift back to cold or normal water.
• Keep drinking water, warm water regularly.
• Do not drink more than two glasses of 250 ml at a time.
• One glass should be enough.
• Over the course of a day, 24 hours, you should drink 2.5 liters to 3 liters of water.
• That is what the Doctor advise.
• And contrary to popular belief, quantity of water to drink is not linked to body weight.
• I mean whether you are 65 kgs or 135 kgs you should aim to drink 2.5 to 3 liters of water in a day.
• And if you eat chicken or meat or fish you should drink one or two glasses extra but at a time you should not drink more than two glasses of 250 ml of warm water at a time.
• Water will aid in digestion and there will be no acidity.
• How to use Kettle?
• You take normal water in a glass and pour it in the kettle.
• Then switch it on and listen to the bubbling sound.
• Once you hear the sound you wait for 2 or three seconds in case of single glass of 250 ml and then pour it a drink it.
• If you have put two glasses then you wait for 5 to seven seconds with bubbling sound, then it is warm.
• The aim is not to make it too hot.
• In  kettle by default the water will go to boiling and the shut itself down (auto-off).
• The aim is to save power and stop it before it goes to boiling and just consume it while it is warm.
• Earlier also I used to drink water from kettle and I used to look at clock, more specifically second dial, 15 seconds for 250 ml, 25 seconds for 500 ml and 45 seconds to 1 minute for 1 liter.
• If you drink more water at a time like 1 liter or four glasses as some Whatsapp forward suggest, ultimately you will not be able to sustain it. And your body is to blame.
• And the habit will wane.
• Thus drink not more than two glasses of 250 ml at a time.
• That is sustainable and never let go of the habit.
• Wherever you go the kettle should go with you.
• That is my advice.
