What is the reason that BJP couldn't touch the magic number of 272?

The elections concluded with much grandeur and the results were awaited with baited breath by all. The toppers looked upon it as achieving All India Rank with record numbers while others saw it as  an opportunity to gain lost ground. It was a very well fought election from the both sides. The voters were offered different kinds of promises. Five years ago it was the slogan of 'Ayega toh Modi hi' which everyone knew that it was the writing on the wall any which ways. But this time around the BJP went a little overboard with its slogan ' Abki baar 400 Paar'.

Harishchandrachi Factory - A tribute to Late Shri Dhundiraj Govinda Phalke

Harishchandrachi Factory – why we should not forget this great man.

Hey Everybody,

Like I had stated that I would be giving my perspective on movies. So, let me start with a Marathi movie. Marathi is one of the several languages spoken in India. And yes friends!!! Movies are made in various languages in India. I want to introduce all of you to all movies which are made in various languages not just in India but throughout the world. I find this quite extraordinary as I am not a writer or a movie critic or any profession related to movies. Hmmmm…. Let me put it this way – I am a movie buff. I inherit those genes from my dear mother who also is a cinema lover.

I thought it would be best to start with a man who created films for the first time in India –  Late Mr. Dhundiraj Govinda Phalke also known as Dadasaheb Phalke. He is also known as the Father of Indian Cinema. For this, I picked Harshchandrachi Factroy, a 2009 movie made on the struggles of how Mr. Phalke created films. Now why pick a movie which is 12 years old??? In today’s world of Netflix and Amazon, I was searching for a movie which was quite different, and I came across this movie  on Netflix, whose title seemed quite unique. I saw the description of the film and thought why not give it a try as there is the option of subtitles. 

The film takes us back to the time of Mr. Phalke and how this one man struggled to make a movie in those times as called in the movie -  ‘moving pictures.’ I will not reveal the story of the film or give a review, but I would put forward my thoughts about the movie as my only goal is to inform people that a vast world of cinema prevails wherein such beautiful movies exist. People call him crazy; his friends even take him to the mental hospital. There is a scene in the movie wherein neighbors and friends come to his house to mourn the loss of the sale of a cupboard which was hilarious. There is not a single instance throughout the movie where we you will feel bored. The film is effortlessly engaging with a pinch of comedy and there is not a single moment where you will find yourself crying. The performance by the lead actor Mr. Nandu Madhav who plays the role of Mr. Phalke is good. He has done full justice to the great man.

A simple movie about an extraordinary personality who did not succumb to the pressures of the world around him. It shows the amazing willpower of Mr. Phalke who insisted on making movies even though he loses his eyesight partially (he regains it through treatment) as shown in the movie. 

If life is a straight line a person walks through smoothly but when there are obstacles placed ahead ambitious, dedicated, and motivated individuals convert the obstacles into opportunities and revolutionize the world. This is the message that the movie conveys. I would recommend people to watch the movie but at the end it is your choice.

I hope you all enjoyed reading it. Keep watching for my next post. Follow me on Koo app and facebook.

Until then byeeeeeeeee friends.

Love You All,

Namitha

With love, to all parents. Parents are special.

Hi Everyone, This post is close to my heart. My parents and my In - laws are incredibly special to me. When I was a teenager, our school had various clubs and students were free to join whichever club they wanted. The club that I had joined had taken us on a trip to some park and then to an old age home. We were supposed to perform for them and spend time with them on that day. That day still holds good in memory. I can never forget those people who had so many stories to say about how they were thrown out of their homes by their children, and they did not even care to check on their well-being. Some old ladies were single mothers and had worked their entire lives so that they could provide good education, food, clothes, and all other comforts to their children. That day I had come home and hugged my parents and my grandmother and had shared the plight of the old age home with them. I had seen tears rolling down their eyes as well. I will never forget it my entire life. Today I am ...

How to Improve your Memory - Brain Power

 In our speech, sometimes, casually we say, "hey use your brain . " Sometimes, when being forgetful, ask ourselves, "have I forgotten something?"  Brain is a storeroom of memories, powerhouse of intelligence, architect of our creativity, adviser to our body and its movements, analyst of our senses and source of our emotions.  It contains a depository of memories right from our childhood to present and continues to save it all, till the we exist. We study and play as children, work when we are adults, pursue our hobbies, etc. For performing all these tasks, our brain needs to remain sharp and attentive. These abilities of the brain helps us in executing our actions to perfection.   It is necessary for all of us to sharpen our memory power and boost the functioning of our brain. As we age, it doesn't remain as sharp as it used to be in the past. Instead of complaining about old age, start right from your hay days to program your skills. I hope all of you will find...
