Festivals and forgotten days

 India shines with festivals — Navratri, Dussehra, Eid, Christmas, Onam — they bring joy and togetherness. But somewhere in the noise, days that once shaped our conscience — Gandhi Jayanti, Ambedkar Jayanti, Constitution Day, Human Rights Day — quietly fade away. Festivals are beautiful, but they are not the whole story. A society is not judged by how loud it celebrates, but by how fair, just, and humane it remains. If we only remember rituals and forget values like equality, truth, and dignity, then celebration becomes shallow. Let’s celebrate festivals with joy, but also give space to the days that remind us why we are human. Both are needed — colors for the eyes, and values for the soul. 

Vaathi, Sir

 Another great movie from Vetrimaran - Sir. Though the movie period time is 60s and 80s, the current India is drawn on the canvas of caste, school, and Swamiyaar. Actually, instead of propaganda movies that divide, movies like Sir should be promoted and watched by Modi and politicians. If you seriously understand the depth of hatred and its fake narratives, you are an educated person with true knowledge and common sense. Otherwise, even if you are a PhD fellow, scientist, or billionaire, it’s of no use. In India, teachers are trying to educate and make the generation work towards the progress of society and the nation. But casteism and hatred, fueled by fake narratives and media monopoly, are destroying everything, led by the right-wing upper castes. No one dares to question the foolishness, atrocities, or even the idiocracy. The entire movie is relatable in every corner of the oppression under the current regime.    

Narratives - Conflict and Demonization

The complex history of the Middle East, particularly the establishment of Israel, and the global reaction towards the Arab world, has shaped political and social narratives that still resonate today. At the heart of this conflict lies the controversial establishment of Israel in the mid-20th century. After World War II, Europe and America, largely driven by guilt over the Holocaust, facilitated the migration of Jewish settlers into Palestine—a land already inhabited by Arabs. Over time, these settlers formed the state of Israel, supported militarily and financially by Western powers, particularly the United States. This imposition of a new state in the heart of Arab land, without the consent of its inhabitants, ignited a series of wars and conflicts. From 1948 onwards, the region saw relentless violence, displacement, and the entrenchment of a bitter divide. As the struggle continued, Western powers coined the term "terrorism" to isolate the Arab resistance. Over time, this l...

Silence

 A recent short movie "charam" (hareesh uthaman)..just drawn a canvas where we are now..!! Deep in the forest, lost in the darkness..!! They are still following... And another news, where media and zionists propaganda politics torn apart.. Again the world witness truth, and crimes together, but in silence!! Why we fear to talk truth, and stand up for justice ⚖️!!??

Spy network

 In today's world, superpowers distrust each other, but instead of relying solely on old tactics like espionage, deception, and direct attacks, they have introduced new strategies under the guise of "national security." This often involves targeting a specific community—one that had previously been persecuted by both crusaders and communists. Europe, already embroiled in hatred, further complicated matters by establishing Israel, a nation whose people had long been supported by this same community. Now, to justify their actions, the powers that be create scapegoats, labeling them as terrorists. The internet, once a symbol of freedom, has been reshaped by these superpowers to monitor and control, turning it into a tool for data domination. This new era of "data monarchy" has become the weapon of choice, leaving little space for true freedom in the world.

Hunters in reels and real

 Trying to dig the Vettayyan, with a reflection on social services and political irony. Vettayyan, like several recent movies, shines a light on the commercialization of essential social services, particularly education. The film critiques how the education system is being burdened with unnecessary apps and information overload, creating chaos for students. This chaos leads to a range of social problems, from brain drain and overwhelming competition to student loans, suicides, and a marginalization of those already struggling with social inequality. As a result, crime increases, and ironically, the system appears to protect the criminals rather than the victims. The casting of legendary actors like Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth in the lead roles adds an ironic twist. Despite playing heroes on screen, these actors have, at times, aligned with real-life political figures linked to the very issues their films seek to criticize. This blurring of the line between reel and real life r...

Dodo

 The dodo, a now-extinct bird native to Mauritius, serves as a powerful metaphor for the importance of defense and vigilance. Its tragic demise is a lesson about what can happen when natural defenses are stripped away. Without the ability to protect itself from the new predators introduced by human colonizers, the dodo quickly vanished, leaving behind a legacy of caution about the consequences of being defenseless. In today’s world, the threats are different but equally dangerous. The forces that threaten our existence are not predators in the wild but rather the insidious influences of modern society. Corporations, driven by profit, have mastered the art of distraction. They keep generations idle or, worse, engaged in a constant cycle of superficial engagement—unnecessary social media, endless showoffs, and the pursuit of hollow validation.  This manufactured idleness is not harmless. It erodes the natural defenses that should protect us—critical thinking, meaningful engageme...

Hypocrites - seasonal

  It's deeply troubling how hypocrisy dominates global narratives. At one time, Malala Yousafzai was elevated as a symbol of women's education, her story wielded by certain powers to serve their agendas. Back then, the world echoed with concern over women's rights and education, supposedly standing against false propaganda and the defamation of the Muslim community. Yet, now, as Palestinians face relentless bombing, killing, rape, and the destruction of schools, hospitals, and homes, the same voices are completely silent. Where are the champions of women's education and child protection now? Those who once clamored for justice and safety have vanished, exposing their true intentions. If I were lying, no one would be trying to silence me.(Julien Assange). Yes, in this world a terrorist is one who resists crime and defend imperialism, zionism, fascism and colonialism. This silence underscores a painful truth: the narratives once pushed weren't about genuine concern bu...

Role model propaganda

 Someone who doesn't care humans should not be a leader, a role model, or hold any position in governing institutions. Instead of prioritizing wealth, land, fame, hyped and false self-stories, fake nationalism, hatred, and polarization, one who works to create harmony, embraces diversity, and listens and acts on human issues can possess the acceptable characteristics of a genuinely good human. It's definitely concerning when media shapes perceptions in ways that might not reflect reality. It's crucial to stay critical, verify information, and seek diverse perspectives to understand the truth beyond what's presented through PR or propaganda. Awareness and seeking reliable sources can help navigate through such situations.

Chicken run

Chicken Run has been noted for its depiction of feminism, revolution, Marxism, and fascism. According to Florentine StrzeIczyk, Chicken Run points to the way that masculinity and femininity are mediated in popular film genres. Brainless following, greediness, and ego make us slaves! We're socially engineered too much to hate every 'other,' putting nationalism and racism as a bone to the dog. Chicken run depicts them all..

The sufferings

The issue resides within our mindsets and actions. You believe the world is solely your father's, even as you claim supremacy; yet, you propagate racism, division, and chaos. You engage in the despicable acts of raping and looting those of lower castes, Black individuals, or the oppressed. Asokan and Alexander may have been hailed as great figures, but they, too, caused considerable harm—Asokan killed many, and Alexander did the same. But you never put things equally for any incidents, you criminally used everything to divide and suppress the people. The politics of oppression and the narratives are familiar, but you've gone further, buying out media outlets, politicians, and government employees from all institutions, fostering a culture of enslavement by peddling hatred. Once your verbal vitriol starts, it spreads like a calamity, effortlessly dividing society. Eventually, you turn against your own people, destroying your own land and places of worship, then shifting blame on...

A journey without borders

(Opinion) I've recently watched a variety of movies that delve into diverse cultures and people's stories. I saw 'Jigrathanda double x', 'noodles', 'Chitha', 'Shesham Micil Fatima', 'Apurva' , '12th fail' and 'Kat-hal' (Hindi). A true visuals other than normally we are forced to see.  12th Fail is based on true story, and awesome and inspiring. It show cases the real humans, real busy life, real ecosystem, real system we see daily in our lives. Still only technology grows, system, desires, people are same. Remembers the tamil movie 'kamaali', an IIT dream girl story. The story of the jackfruit in 'Kat-hal' was truly impressive. Additionally, 'Viral Sebi' portrayed a striking parallel to the ongoing oppression in Palestine by apartheid Israel, highlighting the plight of the true inhabitants of Palestine. This film also initially showcased the anti-CAA protests, shedding light on the boundaries and fa...

Life, an existence proved.

 Navigating the Labyrinth of Life: The Influence of Views, Environment, and Discrimination In the intricate tapestry of human existence, individuals find themselves enmeshed in a complex web of challenges and opportunities, each thread guided by their unique perspectives and beliefs. The interplay between personal views and the environment in which one resides serves as a powerful force in shaping thoughts and actions. Moreover, the ever-present specter of discrimination underscores the harsh reality that even in our technologically advanced age, a smooth and easy life remains elusive for many. **The Lens of Perspective** Every person views the world through a lens shaped by their experiences, upbringing, culture, and personal beliefs. These views influence how they perceive and respond to the world's multifaceted challenges. A person's perspective can be a source of motivation and resilience. However, it can also serve as a barrier, perpetuating biases and hindering empathy. M...

Media Journalism: Unraveling the Factors Behind its Deviation from Facts and Truth

In the modern era, the role of media journalism in shaping public perception and influencing societal discourse cannot be overstated. However, there's a growing concern that media journalism has veered away from its traditional commitment to objective reporting, often leaving facts and truths obscured. Several interrelated factors have contributed to this divergence, shedding light on how media journalism has gone wrong. 1. Commercialization and Sensationalism: With the advent of 24/7 news cycles and the rise of digital platforms, the competition for viewership and readership has intensified. To capture attention in this saturated landscape, media outlets are often drawn towards sensationalism and clickbait headlines. This prioritization of shock value over accuracy can lead to the distortion of facts to attract larger audiences and generate higher revenues. 2. Confirmation Bias and Echo Chambers: Media outlets, both traditional and digital, often cater to specific demographics or ...

Islamophobia

 Islamophobia refers to a fear or hatred of Islam or Muslims, often fueled by prejudice, stereotypes, and misinformation. While it is true that certain actions and policies of the United States and Israel have contributed to the rise of Islamophobia in some parts of the world, it is important to recognize that this is a complex issue with many underlying factors. In the United States, for example, the events of September 11, 2001, and the subsequent "War on Terror" led to increased scrutiny and suspicion of Muslims and people from Muslim-majority countries. The media and political rhetoric often portrayed Muslims as a monolithic group with extremist beliefs and values, leading to harmful stereotypes and discrimination. Similarly, Israel's ongoing conflict with Palestine and the Palestinian territories has led to tensions and mistrust between Jews and Muslims in the region and around the world. Some critics argue that Israel's policies and actions towards Palestinians ...

Pain Points

 Life is not sometimes as easy as we see. Usually we will say, have empathy, not the sympathy. Pain empathy is a mental ability that allows one person to understand another person's pain and how to respond to that person effectively .

Sembi, not a story

 The society when thirsty for a goodness, get calm down with a diverted drink. Actually they are not, rather they are temporarily getting satisfied by a false speech, wrong investigation report, fake news hypes, political statements, authorities fake promises. When the victim is weaponised for political profit,yes actually the society rapes the victim,then the media, and ofcourse the system. Do we can stop crimes, may be not,but we can ASK questions, we can SUPPORT the needy, we can ERADICATE the culprit, yes we the people when think and act on time justice won't be denied or delayed. The major issue is the "other" won't care if the "other" gets hurt.  LGBTQ etc even talks only the desire and pleasure of changing or identifying the identity. Even no one talks that much like LGBTQ for a rape free society or to punish a criminal or for the social justice of entire society. So problems lies within us,the priority, the importance, need of the time. Yes,the movie...
