Mafia And Democracy

                               I have always maintained that the 'secularism' in India is the most exploited and abused word, where an entire generation was fleeced by a syndicate tutoring non-existant secularism. The syndicate comprised of corrupt politicians at the top of pyramid, intellectuals and media coterie in the middle and NGO's, opportunists and paid personalities working as foot soldiers are at the bottom. This syndicate has full backing of evangelist groups, petro-dollar Islamic groups and host of loosely tied foreign groups hell bent on widening fissures among fault lines in India. This corrupt ecosystem flourished and prospered with strong thrust from left-leaning government at center. This syndicate has fiddled with education(fake Aryan invasion theory) making permanent scar on impressionable minds.
                                          One thing the syndicate abhors more than anything is "Hindu" unity. For very long this mafia had free run, duping gullible people as the coterie readily justifies and supports their masters who were billed as halo. False narratives were created to demean anything remotely associated to Hindus. There is long list of people who were happy to sleep with such foreign sponsored organization for personal glory and finance. Meantime these foot soldiers have successfully penetrated our society with impunity taking advantage of sensitive issues and disgruntlement among section of our population. Missionary sponsored and abetted naxal groups and terror organizations in N-E are glaring examples to name a few.
                                     Lampooning Hinduism comes with benefits. Apart from hogging the limelight, you are credited with materialistic benefits. There's a big, boisterous, noisy lobby who come in strength to defend your crimes. Compromised section of media plays second fiddle in denouncing anyone who complains about such venomous sermons.  It's ironic, when a section of society is allowed to perpetrate crimes and secular mafia hold there ignominious silence. Every possible trick is employed to defame, divide Hindus(on caste, regionalism etc.) and in places where they can't refrain upsurge, brutality knows no bound to silence or maim Hindus(Kerala, Bengal etc). Meanwhile,the ecosystem of mafia feign ignorance and employ diversionary tactics. There lopsided approach is visible when victim is from community that suits their twisted mind narrative, in which case they go overboard in highlighting it and smudging entire Hindu community.

(M.R. Venkatesh : Tell me, what you have done about RSS people being killed in Kerala ?
                  Saba Naqvi : Why should I ? That is not my job. I don't care.)
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0myMigbauo&t=17s )
                            One such glaring example of insensitivity, towards people with dissenting views recently was episode featuring Saba Naqvi. After watching the clip one can understand the bigoted mindset of such intellectuals. The smirk on her face isn't just distasteful, but reveals how much the torchbearers of secularism care about human life and democracy, such is the tolerance, one would shiver,  infer if god willing you contradict their duplicity. Such is the travesty that, if political ideology can't be countered then massacre of innocents is perpetrated to curtail growth, while mafia is too pleased and rejoice abominable acts of murder.
                               The truth is, in last four years the established mafia has to face headwinds that they never witnessed before.  They were dumbfounded when contested on facts by awakened citizens. Several sand castles are uprooted, famed intellectuals, media honchos are caught naked with no place to hide and in this muddle the ugly faces are revealed. This mafia is self centered and exploits the Indian democracy and Constitution for its own cause with scanty regard to people and their aspirations. Two things the unholy cabal abhors more then anything else are, social media and awakened citizens.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout

                                   MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT finds Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames) along with allies (Rebecca Ferguson, Michelle Monaghan) in a race against time to save the world from arms dealer John Lark and a group of terrorists known as the Apostles who plan to use three plutonium bombs for a simultaneous nuclear attack on the Vatican, Jerusalem and Mecca, Saudi Arabia to create mayhem. August Walker (Henry Cavill) a CIA hit-man and White Widow (Vanessa Kirby) also added spice to this adrenaline pumping fabulous action flick. With tantalizing action scenes, a viewer is hopelessly mesmerized and glued till the last scene.

                                 Impossible is nothing when Tom is at its best. A combination of jaw dropping stunts, insane daring and ingenious execution, make this a stunning piece of action cinema, probably the finest,i have ever witnessed. MI franchise has improved tremendously with each installment and by far, it is the best among all by a long shot. Each scene is pushed little further, giving it an unprecedented fresh look. The story though simple, is laced with twists,backstabbing and exceeds expectations. My only concern is in this fabulous movie, they have raised the bar and set the benchmark which would be difficult to outdo as viewers would now expect moon. An incredible movie with spectacular action sequences to satisfy the appetite, a must watch.

Movie Gringo

                                Movie Gringo is a complete entertainer. It is one of those movies that completely transforms your mood,i would refrain myself to put this movie in any particular genre. It's story is interwoven with almost everything, thus making it a complete masala flick.  I started watching Gringo with very little or with no expectations but it turns out to be a breath of fresh air. The main protagonist is the black man(David Oyelowo) who happens to be an innocent, a  righteous man hailing from Nigeria trying his luck to live "The American Dream". He is being exploited by his boss disguised as friend, manipulated and cheated by his wife,and,to top it all stuck in quagmire of wrong circumstances. In the utter confusion, it is interesting how the story unfolds creating funny situations eventually benefiting David. Rest assured in the last scene when David looked into the camera and smiled, i couldn't stop myself from reciprocating the gesture. This movie turns out to be a heart touching, funny, comic relief .

                          Charlize Theron and Joel Edgerton along with David Oyelowo were outstanding in their performances. The story does in between looks confusing but soon, all dots were connected.  One of the finest movie, its a must watch for movie buffs.

It's Not The Size Of The Dog In The Fight, It's The Size Of The Fight In The Dog.

                    In this article, i am discussing about a sensitive issue targeting a small section(around 3% by official estimates) of our population. Here, i would like to talk about "People with special needs" or as in our dialect we say "Disabled People" (DP) . I always believed and stand by my opinion that, Indian society is one filled with ruthless, self-centered and hypocritical people with cruel intentions. Firstly, our society generally treat the people with disabilities as outcast, they are not supposed to be smart, butt of joke with people trying to ridicule them at the slightest provocation .
                 There are few, who are brilliant in concealing their twisted mindset, the concern they portray lasts the moment DP shows disagreement or refuse to comprehend the terms dictated(usually unfavorable) and thus,he(DP) declines to put his foot down, this is when these hate mongers reveal their true identity. The usual discourse starts with trying to subdue DP psychologically by emphasizing "the big favor" he/she granted to DP which is exclusive thus making DP realize of benevolence shown by maniac and a subtle way of reminding DP his unfortunate condition. These nuts firstly, aren't doing any favor, you(DP) are bringing him business and he is after your money, lets be realistic, there's nothing more to it and it hardly matters to seller if the customer is physically fit or not as long as he shows the money. There is cut throat competition in this country, and people are too oblivious of one's misery, everyone tries to get better of DP and hence, finds it convenient to bully a DP into submission.
                      I am speaking from my own experience (17 years back, met an accident) as i move around, thankfully, I am financially well off so it obviates any need to struggle but i get disturbed to think of many more who aren't this fortunate. From my personal experience, i have encountered the sick mentality of our society. Perverts won't shy in passing sordid comments even at funerals, such is the travesty. As they say, only the wearer knows, where the shoe pinches, it is safe to assume no one will understand the struggle and challenges faced by a DP. On their part, DP shouldn't expect any generosity from others. At the same time, never accept things lying down. Your courteous nature, if is misunderstood as weakness ,its definitely not your fault, fight for things that's yours without being perturbed about consequences.
                        Don't harp on to emotional stuff, have thick skin, mark my words, people will call you names behind your back even your servants,don't be overly sensitive. Choose your battles wisely, and the one's of choice should be fought with everything at your disposal. Never, ever make compromise with your honor and dignity, respect others and demand the same without any dilution. Never allow others to belittle your achievements and never oblige to ridiculous proposals. You are not responsible for something that was beyond your control so you shouldn't be ashamed of something that has happened to you, it can happen to anyone, anytime.
                    Don't expect society to change anytime soon, ostracization of DP is a naked reality. The one's who consider you inferior will try to compete with you with frivolous excuses in hand as an insurance. The DP on their part, should learn to stand for them self, be assertive, and do not wilt under pressure. You are a gem in your own way, and there is absolutely nothing wrong in you and the non-believers are shit minds that needn't be taken seriously.
