Grey Man, Ertugrul, Uncharted, Red Notice

Watched several movies and series as mentioned above

The Grey Man

• Watched this movie on Netflix.
• I liked the movie.
• Too good action and as said in the movie as well we get to see the most spectacular undercover operation in the history.
• I mean the hero wins and the villian teams suffers "the most spectacular failure in undercover history."
• Worth watching according to me.
  

Ertugrul : Season 4 : Episode 84

• Last I had seen till Episode 77
• Now in 7 episodes story has progressed dramatically.
• Osman got a "wet nurse" and he got used to her milk and now has accepted her as mother.
• Noyan and Ertugrul have come face to face and Ertugrul has to to accompany Noyan to meet Ogadai Khan the chief of the Mongols as emissary of the Seljuks (most dangerous job in the world).
• Mongols have taken over Desh-i-Kipchek also known as Cumania including Black Sea and Kyiv after taking over Caspian Sea and Aral Sea..
• Now Mongols are marching towards the Danube after taking over Tigris, Euphrates, Syr Darya and Amu Darya.
• The series is in really interesting times and worth watching till last 6 episodes of Season 4.
• There is still Season 5 to be watched.
  

Uncharted

• This movie was watched on Netflix.
• Worth watching this "adventure of a lifetime".
• The series does not show anything supernatural or "out of the world".
• Series of tough challenges like puzzles are shown.
• It is shown in lighthearted kind of way.
• This can have a sequel.
  

Red Notice

• This movie also shows a like "adventure of a lifetime".
• Movie progresses from Italy to Russia to London to all around the world.
• In that sense it is similar to The Grey Man also. The Grey Man also takes you "around the world".
• This can have a sequel.
  

India's Freedom Part 2

• This is continuation of  Part 1
• Where the Mongols laid waste to Baghdad.
• Even Arabs suffered greatly at the hands of Mongols and Arabs could not gain prominence in the world for hundreds of years until "Lawrence of Arabia" came along and Oil was discovered in large quantities.
• Ottoman Empire growth which flourished for more than 500 years is also linked to the decline of Arabs.
• Hence the equation is not that simple as Hindu vs Muslim.
• It is actually ethnicity vs ethnicity.
• Like Michael Jackson said in his song "Black or White" "where your blood comes from...races".
• After 16th or 17th Centuries the Europeans came along and they saw the internal strifes and struggles between the peoples and kingdoms in the Indian subcontinent and slowly but surely they thought to exploit these weaknesses.
• After Nadir Shah invasion from Iran (incidentally Iran also rose after descendants of Mongols rose through destroying the old order), Mughal empire declined.
• Sikh religion was formed over two hundred years from 15th Century. There were 10 Gurus of Sikhism
• Sikhism was a middle path. Neither it was Hindu, nor Buddhist, nor Islam.
• It incorporated different aspects of the religions and made a new one. 
• 11th Guru of Sikhism is the holy book Guru Granth Sahib. It has to be judiciously followed by Sikhism followers.
  
• Following decline of Mughal empire, Sikh empire and down south Maratha Empire emerged.
• Problems with Kashmir have their origins since that time i.e. age of Sikh Empire.
• Then beginning from Bengal and Battle of Plassey and Battle of Buxar, British came to rule the subcontinent of India almost single handedly.
• They could manage to keep French, Portuguese limited to few enclaves and keep rest of the Colonial powers out including most European for hundreds of years and Japanese during the second World War.
• The British also kept Russians out through proxy war in Afghanistan. It is known as Great Game
• What borders the British drew are now the borders of India and Pakistan.
• Then in 1947 India became free but it truly became free in 1950 when Constitution was adopted.
• But still it was not "free" in true sense as it was forced to contribute troops and medical personnel to Korean War.
• But when Korean war went to stalemate, India under Nehru sought to adopt an independent "non-aligned" policy. Non-Alignment
  
• In 1962 war between India and China happened and that was the last straw for Nehru Non Aligned approach and Panchseel Agreement. He could not take it and died. 
• We can say from end of Korean War to 1962 War with China. For these 8 years only India was truly 'free'. Even before that China had invaded Tibet in 1959. And India had accepted the Tibetan refugees. Since 1959 peace with China was "under duress" and "under notice". So India was living in a fools paradise by taking on China even indirectly. So for 5 years along India was truly free and independent.
  
• Then 1965 War happened and Pakistan allied itself with United States through CENTO.
• Yes people we have read, just like NATO, there was CENTO (Central Treaty Organization) and SEATO (South East Asia Treaty Organization) in 50's 60's and 70's.
• CENTO was earlier known as Baghdad Pact. It is also an "allied story" that Iraq was totally destroyed by United States after Soviet Union collapsed through Gulf War after Iraq invaded Kuwait.
• So the saying goes "To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal". Just Look at Iraq.
  
• Indira Gandhi thought that India was unprotected and hence aligned with USSR which is same as Russia.
• Till USSR demise till 1991 India was under Soviets or Russians.
• Then in 1991 there was "Economic Liberalisation" and India came under United States.
• That phase continued till 2014.
• With Sonia Gandhi at the helm of ruling party India looked to be under the grip of Italy or European Union.
• But even Europe is under United States since Second World War.
• What happened in 2014 that European and American influence has waned and India is more and more under the grip of Jews-Israel and Arabs.
• With Arabs and Israel coming together. It is getting more and more normalised as years progress. Israel Arab relations
• So Arabs and Israel will rule India under their proxy Modi.
• India has never been free or "Hindu". It is a myth.
  
• If we look at Pakistan, they are under the grip of more important powers like China or United States. Not like India who under BJP-RSS-Modi are under grip of Israeli-Arab forces.
  
• Let us swallow this bitter pill and get on with our lives.
• And any Hindu-Muslim conflict we see in India is part of the "grand design" to keep the proxies in power.
  

India's Freedom Part 1

• Friends the topic of the post is India's Freedom
• I want to say that India has never been "free" for a long time.
• In addition to that I would like to say that India has never been "Hindu" for a long time.
• Even what we feel now India is under "Hindu rule" is actually false
• India after 2014 under Modi and RSS is now under joint Arab-Israeli rule.
• Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 
• Facebook and Whatsapp and Instagram is owned by Israeli-American Mark Zuckerberg.
• We know how much Indians are addicted to Facebook and Whatsapp.
• Hence not only leaders but the people are also under de-facto rule of Jews-Isarel and Arab countries.
• Let us go to beginning of Christian Era.
• No let us go even earlier.
• When Egypt and Mesopotamia were there and Indus Valley Civilization was flourishing.
• Then there was Aryan invasion from Central Asia and the Indus Valley people fled deeper inside the Indian subcontinent.
• Some say the Indus Valley people are present day Dravidian mainly Tamils and other Adivasis scattered across the country.
• Then what happened. It was the age of Vedas and beginning of what is called "Hindu religion"
• Parallel to Hindu religion Jain religion also flourished.
  
• Then Buddhism happened and reign of Ashoka where after Kalinga_War Ashoka made it state religion and Buddhism got exported around the world.
• For a thousand years it was a struggle between Hindu and Buddhist and Buddhism which was hard to follow got weaker and weaker in India.
• The Islamic invasions were the last straw for Buddhism.
• And Hindus found it simpler that what it was not able to do to Buddhism could be done by these Islamic conquests.
• Thus it was like an unholy axis between Islamic invaders and Hindus who began "revival" of their religion which was unlike "Hinduism" existing earlier.
• And here we have to see that religion may not be that important as "ethnicity".
• While initially the Islamic conquests were lead by Turks and that is why the rulers were called Sultans.
• Next phase were led by Mongol and their descendants and hence Mughal is a corrupted derivation from Mongol.
• Thus Mughals were descendents of Mongols and not Arabs or Turks.
• Mongols had laid waste to Khwarazmian empire and even Arabs were not spared from Mongols. We have read in history that they totally destroyed Baghdad
• I will continue in part 2
  

LDR, Ertugrul 77, Bhool Bhulaiya 2, Spider Man

LDR : Love Death Robots

• Watched the entire three volume series with more than two dozen episodes on Netflix.
• Some episodes are too good and worth watching.
• They will leave a deep impact on your mind.
• Like Tall Grass or where a soldier takes refuge in a spaceship after crash or the giant washed up on shore.
• The last episode where the knights meet someone in a lake. All can leave deep impact.
  

Ertugrul Season 4 Episode 77

• Last I had seen till Episode 74
• Now in three episodes a lot has changed.
• Noyan has met the Governor of Bilecik though his identity is not yet revealed.
• Osman is born and Halime Hatun dies after child birth which is tragedy.
• The scene where Ertugrul makes emotional appeal for milk for Osman from the tribes to Artuk Bey is very emotional.
  

Bhool Bhulaiya 2

• Watched this movie on Netflix and I must say that this movie proves Kartik Aryan is a full entertainer.
• I will say you can watch this movie on loop and you will not get bored.
• I can say that Kartik Aryan is one star who will be popular from Kashmir to Kerala and from Bhuj to Dibrugarh.
• His popularity will encompass full India and he is a bankable star.
  
• That being said teh movie could not have been complete without the role of Tabu.
• I think Tabu acting is just superb.
  

Spider Man : No Way Home

• This movie was watched on Netflix.
• It was very nice to see the villians back which we had seen 20 to 15 years back in Spiderman series.
• Glad to see them back in movie in a changed world.
• Yes we can say the world has changed in 20 years
• Nice to see old Spidemans like Tobey Maguire also.
• Brings back old memories.
  

Ertugrul Season 4 Episode 74

• People I have reached now till Ertugrul Season 4 Episode 74.
• Last I had watched till Episode 67
• Now in Episode 73 Sadettin Kopek dies.
• In one of the episodes between 67 and 73, Ertugrul infiltrates the heavily guarded Sadettin Kopek camp and attempts to execute Kopek.
• Then Ertugrul is not successful but manages to get away.
• The way he gets away seemed impossible at least not from a heavily guarded camp like Kopeks who was going to battle.
• The Kopek chases him towards the hills and forests and he is killed there.
  
• And then the story goes towards Mongols once more.
• The Emipre of Byzantine is not releaseing the soldiers towards the Turks as they fear Mongols can invade after defeating the Turks.
• Though Mongols find the area of Iraq more lucrative it cannot be ignored that the Mongols may annihilate the Anatolia and move towards Constantinople.
• Even Noyan is alive.
• I guess last few episodes of Season 4 may show the decisive battle between Ertugrul let Turks and Noyan led Mongols.
  

Beast, Ertugrul Ep 67, KGF 2, House of Gucci

Watched few movies and series as mentioned above:

Beast

• This movie was watched on Netflix.
• I liked the movie.
• Too good action by Vijay.
  

Ertugrul Season 4 Ep 67

• Last I had watched till Episode 41 
• From Episode 41 till 67 a lot of things have happened.
• Ertugrul defeated Ares and converted him to become Ahmet. 
• Sultan Aladdin has been killed by poisoning.
• Titan was killed.
  
• Ertugrul also became enemy of the state. 
• Seljuk state also showed its power and have killed several tribe leader who have been accused of rebelling.
  
• Now Episode 67 and 66 is the episode where Aslihan Hatun is killed.
• The death scene of Aslihan Hatun is too well made.
• She is killed while trying to kill Sadettin Kopek.
• Sadettin Kopek had lost his mother early in his life and finally thought that Aslihan Hatun could replace her.
• But Aslihan wanted his blood. Reluctantly Kopek had to kill her.
• He could see life just going away and he could do nothing about it.
• Now Sadettin Kopek has established himself as ultimate enemy of Ertugrul.
• Always conspiring against Ertugrul and no the Seljuk state as well.
• Ertugrul is looking towards Sogut now to move in.
   

KGF 2

• This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
• This movie made from Sandalwood which is the name of the Kannada film industry shows that series and movie has to go beyond local locations to have value.
• While KGF Part 1 shows a sleepy corner of a state and its twisted history to suit the movie.
• KGF Part 2 shows the entire country. Including Banglaore, Bombay and West Coast.
• It shows KGF as industrial heartland perhaps comparable to Nazi Germany 'Rhineland'.
• But that is destroyed by bombing campaign and miraculously no people died and all the gold is loaded in huge tanker and sinks in Arabian Sea. 
• Tell me is it even possible.
• Now KGF part 3 is teased in the movie and CIA comes in.
• So KGF is bound to go global.
• In this movie KGF 2 also UAE gets involved.
• Movie is okay to be watched once.
• But one cannot deny the larger than life presence of the lead actor Yash.
• Yash ultimately is a Sandalwood star and figuratively he defeats both Bollywood and Madras by killing the Sanjay Dutt character and the Tamil politician at MP house.
  

House of Gucci

• This Gucci movie is too well made.
• Watched it on Amazon Prime Video.
  
• We get to know about Gucci family history.
• Movie is good way to time pass.
• Scene after scene passes so fast and does not feel boring.
• Worth watching at least once.
  

No person can be Muhammad

People I believe the fact that no person can be Prophet Muhammad. And I am glad that I know this. Apart from difference between Shia and Sunni Link 1 and Link 2 this reality is the ultimate reality. Once one knows that no person can be Muhammad one will cease to call another as Muhammad even if it is his actual name.

I know one of my friends during MBA in year 2004 was named Muhammad Abdur Rab and a faculty had come. He was a Bengali gentleman maybe 60 plus years and all. He checked the names of all and then told that "your name is Abdur because NO PERSON CAN BE MUHAMMAD".

I am glad that I had the chance to attend that class and that faculty took just one class and he never came back to our institute ever again. But he gave that message which I will never forget in life.

Because Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) did in his life what no other person can ever achieve. Thus Muslims believe he is the last Prophet to walk the earth and bring the message of God to ordinary humans.

No one believes that Prophet was God or Son of God. He was messenger of God. He carried God's message. Unlike Christ whom people tell that he was the Son of God and some believe Christ to be God himself. But no one tells Prophet Muhammad was Son of God or God.

And Prophet dissuaded people that he should be worshiped. Or be depicted in photos and statues. Tell me how important is this. These days people want to be depicted in photos and statues and want temples to be built in their honour. But Prophet Muhammad dissuaded his followers to be depicted in frescoes, murals, paintings and statues. 

Prophet Muhammad said that only person or thing or entity worthy of worship is God or Allah himself. Even the Islamic Scholar Zakir Naik said that God or Allah is something who cannot be compared to anything which ordinary humans can comprehend or ANYTHING EXISTING ON THIS EARTH. God is something who greater than that. Even in Hindu religion and Mahabharat we have heard the term Vishwaroopam. This that "figure" of God which no ordinary human can see or imagine. In Mahabharata Sanjay Mahabharata got special vision and he could see the Vishwaroopam but could only describe the same to Dhritarashtra. Professor Naik takes that literally but that is no cause of conflict. If anyting it only shows that God is one and is worthy of worship. Not God's figures and figurines.

Several Christians also believe the same thing. WORSHIP THE CREATOR AND NOT THE CREATIONS. I saw this message on the back of the car the other day. This is what Prophet Muhammad espoused. Not only Prophet Muhammad, there are several more prophets in Muslim religion also known as Islam. Prophet Abraham and Prophet Christ is also among the 25 Prophets of Islam 

Also my admiration for Islam has increased after watching Ertugrul series. There they have shown Ibn-Arabi who is Link 1 like a scholar of Islam. And his scenes are full of past stories of Islam where reference is made often to life of Prophet Muhammad whose stories are full of inspiration.
