Nature's Warning to us - Slowdown!


Another tragedy has hit the world yesterday! A massive earthquake of 8.9 scales has hit Japan, followed by TSUNAMI, killing thousands of people. Those who survived will have to struggle to survive! They have lost everything, and have to fight with a devastated life! Some of the survivors may recover with their life, and get back on their feet. But with most of the people in impacted area, it’s not going to be easy getting back with their life! They may have lost close family members, surely have lost everything they build so far in their life, home, job, life’s earnings, savings, everything!  And the images of this incident, it’s going to be there to haunt them for life! I cannot even imagine how they might be feeling right now; let alone how to start again with their life! From thousands of miles away, I can only pray for them, pray to God for giving them strength to recover!

This was shocking news for all of us! We know what an Earthquake can do; we know what TSUNAMI can do! Who can forget 2001 Earthquake and 2004 Tsunami! When the news came out, no one has any idea of the impact, but we know its 8.9 and Tsunami, so we know that the impact is going to be much much bigger! We feel so helpless in such situation, watching it on TV, reading it on news sites, but can’t do anything to prevent it, can’t save a single person from the impacted zone! All the world can do is to watch, and let the natural disaster finish, to go and look for survivors! People are swept away by water like insects! Our existence in this world is so fragile, so small, that we can die in millions by just one natural disaster! Sometimes it feels like The Universe has a larger, much bigger plan, and we are not part of it! 

Yet, we earthlings are so proud of being superior species; we want to rule the planet! We are exploiting the natural resources as if it’s unlimited! We know that we do not have any other home, but still we are working round the clock, to destroy our only home, The Earth! The clock is ticking very fast, and these natural disasters are Mother Nature’s way of telling us to slow down! Because if we don’t, it’s not going to be a single boom to finish the human population, but a slow and painful end of our home, our world, our species! We and our family, friends have to live with dying out natural resources, trying to survive without proper food and water! Think of this life we are going to live in future! It’s not like some Sci-Fi movies vision of a perfect society in future, but a gloomy picture of dark and painful future! This is what we are going to get, and our kids are going to live through it! This is the future we are creating for our children! 
As I mentioned earlier, all I can do for the victims of this tragedy, is to pray for them, pray to God for helping them survive, and live through the tragic devastation of Japan! But I will also leave you all with one of the video, which showcase our future world. This documentary, Earth 2100, was made in 2009, and the focus was the green summit, to get all nations agreement for stopping global warming. But it will give you the idea of where we are heading, with our friends and family, to a dark place called Earth’s future! Its in total 9 parts, and I have posted just the first part of it, and you can view other parts from related video. If you want to watch it on YouTube, with playlist, click on this link.

Sholay - Special Edition DVD of Alternate Version

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 TO ALL! This is my 50th post on this Blog, and I never thought I can post upto 50 when I started. I wanted to post this in December 2010, as my last post of the year. But somehow, the time taken in research as well as year end holidays delayed it, and now we are with this, my 50th post, about Sholay Special Edition DVD and Alternate Version, as the first post this year. Sholay ! The name is enough! Yes, I am talking about Sholay the movie! The most famous movie of Indian film industry ever! There are so much written about Sholay, that I don't think I can add any new information in the already known knowledge about this movie! It’s a cult movie! Even today, after 35 years of its release, people still remember the characters, not just the main characters, but small guest appearance characters such as Surma Bhopali or Jailor, Sambha, Kalia as well! We still refer Sholay dialogues in day to day conversations! So, if people know so much and remember this much

कारवाँ – ग्राफिक नॉवेल (हिंदी)

याली ड्रीम्स की अँग्रेजी में प्रकाशित और प्रशंसित ग्राफिक नॉवेल कारवाँ अब हिंदी में उपलब्ध हो गयी है। आजकल के सभी नए कॉमिक्‍स प्रकाशक अपनी किताबें अँग्रेजी में ही प्रकाशित करते है। यह उनकी विवशता है, क्योंकि नए प्रकाशक के पास उत्तम कहानी और चित्रांकन तो है, परंतु प्रकाशित पुस्तकों के वितरण का उपयुक्त साधन नहीं है। उन्हें कॉमिक कान या फिर ऑनलाइन स्‍टोर्स पर निर्भर रहना पड़ता है। फिर उत्तम श्रेणी की कहानी, कला एवं रूप-सज्जा देने पर पुस्तक का मूल्य भी अधिक होता है। हिंदी में पाठकों की संख्या तो है, परंतु अधिक पैसे खर्च करके नए प्रकाशक की कॉमिक्‍स लेने वाले पाठक कम है। ऊपर से बिना देखे, ऑनलाइन खरीदने वाले तो और भी कम है। ऐसे में अँग्रेजी के पाठक तुलनात्मक रूप से अधिक हैं। यही कारण है कि आज हरेक प्रकाशक अँग्रेजी में ही अपनी कॉमिक्‍स प्रकाशित कर रहा है। भले ही कहानियाँ शुद्ध देशी है, पर भाषा विदेशी है। यह एक विडंबना है, जिसे आज प्रकाशक और हिंदी पढ़ने वाले पाठक, दोनों को झेलना पड़ता है। ऐसा नहीं है कि हिंदी में कॉमिक्‍स एकदम प्रकाशित नहीं होती। राज कॉमिक्‍स आज भी हिंदी में कॉमिक प्रकाशि

TnT – Taranath Tantrik – City of Sorrows

I read both part of Taranath Tantrik - City of Sorrow , and to summarize it, I can only say that I just can’t wait for the third installment. Brilliant story, keeps you gripped till the last page in both part. I will not discuss spoilers here. The story is about a Psychic Taranath Tantrik working with his friends Shankar , a CID office, Sneha , a TV journalist and   Vibhuti , a horror novelist, in an investigation, where someone is trying to change the City of Joy Kolkata into City of Sorrows.  First part shows glimpse into Taranath’s past, and cut to present day for main story to develop. The second part again shows villain’s past, and then move to current day. So, the first one introduced TnT to us, and started chain of events which makes the story. Then second part introduced the villain to us, and the story progressed.  I liked this type of storytelling, which gives you a glimpse of main character’s past, and then jumps directly to the story.
