Vaikunta Ekadesi Day Toronto - 818

 VAIKUNTA EKADESI DAY - TORONTO 2025

THE BALAJI TEMPLE AT SCARBOROUGH HAD A LOT OF VISITORS ON THE VAIKUNTA EKADESI DAY . IN FACT FINDING A PLACE FOR PARKING OUR CAR WAS DIFFICULT . THE ENTRY INTO THE TEMPLE WAS VIA 5 DIFFERENT ZONES .

ALL THE ZONES LED TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU FOUND YOURSELF IN FRONT OF THE SWARGA VAASAL . THE CHANT OF THE LOUD ' GOVINDA - GOVINDA ' EVEN AS WE WAITED IN THE QUEUE FOR OUR TURN FOR THE ARCHANAI WAS SPECIAL  . THIS WAS SPECIAL AS IT ALSO COINCIDED WITH THE STAR BIRTHDAY OF KAMESH OUR SIL .





THE GULAB JAMUN AND SWEET  SUJI KESARI  WAS REALLY VERY GOOD .

 

After the Balaji DARSHAN we planned to visit my Niece Kala and her Son Aditya for Lunch at Mississauga . The buildings on either side defied Geometry and the previous night's snow left a white haze on the structures .

The lunch was elaborate . Kala and Aditya were super hosts and kept our grandkids Adhvay and Akshu fully occupied with Games and Dance .

                          Geometry Defied 


                   Kala 12 th Floor Apartment .

It was extremely windy when we left Kala's place at 3.00 pm and the wind chill was really high . The Honda Odyssey Car Heating System was a big help . Ajax was some 75 minutes away . Discussion soon started about our plan to see the Hindi Movie DHURANDHAR , the current chart buster .
I don't remember seeing a Hindi Movie for a while now in a Movie Theatre . In fact the only two movies I remember seeing are " CHENNAI EXPRESS " at LEEDS in the year 2013 and more recently "  JAWAN " which itself is some two years back  at Regina .

DHURANDHAR is a must watch movie as it has a mix of fact and fiction in good measure. 
KANDHAHAR HIJACK , PARLIAMENT ATTACK,  26/11 BOMBAY ATTACK .
THOUGH GORY AT TIMES AS CAN ONLY BE EXPECTED IN SUCH MOVIES . THE PORTRAYALS OF BOTH THE PROTAGONIST AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN TOP NOTCH . THE CINEMATOGRAPHY LEAVES ONE SPELLBOUND AND THE BACKGROUND SCORE IS APT . THE ENTIRE MOVIE DEPICTS THE HAPPENINGS IN LYARI - KARACHI PAKISTAN MENTION MUST BE MADE OF THE ART DIRECTOR FOR RECREATING THE ATMOSPHERE .
THE NEAR THREE AND A HALF MOVIE DOES NOT BORE YOU EVEN FOR A SECOND .
ALL THE ARTISTS HAVE DONE A SUPERB JOB INCLUDING THE DEBUTANT IN A SENIOR ROLE SARA ARJUN .
AKSHAY KHANNA HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING AS ALSO RANVEER SINGH  IN THE LEAD ROLE. 
EVEN THREE WEEKS AFTER RELEASE THE SHOW AT THE CINEPLEX IN AJAX  CANADA .
 THE 4.30 PM SHOW HAD A SIZABLE CROWD .
 
NO WONDER THAT BEING CLOSER TO THE SCENE OF ACTION SUCH MOVIES FIND MORE PATRONAGE IN THE NORTH AS COMPARED TO THE SOUTH . IT HAS REPORTEDLY CROSSED THE 1100 CR MARK AT THE BOX OFFICE AND STILL COUNTING !!

DURANDHAR -2 AWAITED .



Happy New Year , Best Wishes to You and All Your Loved Ones .
