RANDOM THOUGHTS

     ALBERTA VISIT - ONE - PRECURSOR  We are now at Regina in the Saskatchewan Province of Canada with our Daughter, SIL and our Grand Kids . Winter as you know are harsh in these parts with not much of outdoor activities during these four plus months .  The near four Months of Freezing Temperatures finally begin to make way for warmer climates  with Temperatures in the Positive range from early April or thereabouts .  This is a much looked forward to event and a celebratory time with Schools closing for 10 Days to mark the event and allow the kids and their parents to feel the Sun and stretch their legs . Parents use this School Holiday to take out their Kids for outings during these times . Anoo , Kamesh , Aarna and Arya decided to explore the interesting places in the neighbouring province of Alberta . Drumheller , a small place with many tourist attractions like the Mountain Ranges, STAR MINE Suspension Bridge , Willow Creek Hoodoos , Royal Tyrell ...

     No way you can DELETE this Memory The other day while being busy on the Mobile, a message kept popping up to show that the MEMORY on my Mobile was almost full and that I needed to do something fast to gain some space . The first thing that come to mind on such occasions is to DELETE the duplicate or unwanted pictures and Videos stored in the Mobile . ( It is a different matter that this Deleting is not going to be of much help in this regard )  I must confess that I have pictures/videos  stored which are at least a decade old . They have been  helping me as a backdrop for my Blog Posts . This led me to a browsing session and a deleting spree of old and duplicate pictures/videos . As some  of you may be aware , I completed my Textile Technology at the SASMIRA located at Worli in Mumbai more than half a century back . This is a place which has a special place in my memory . I had taken a couple of pictures of the Institute during my Subsequent Visit...

   DHURANDAR ONE/TWO A RELOOK    - 840 *Dhurandhar and the Psychology of it:* Vivek Vaibhav Published Mar 20, 2026 No one would have ever imagined that just one movie would undo all the psychological conditioning that Bollywood and its masters have done in the past 100 years through their movies. One movie has rattled the whole ecosystem, and rightly so, because it took them a lot of their lifetimes to create such a psychological, emotional brainwashing for the whole country to believe in their carefully crafted lies, only to be destroyed in front of their eyes by just a movie. I am talking about Islam and the Islamic agenda and propaganda that Bollywood is known to propagate through its movies. However, very ironically, they are calling Dhurandhar a propaganda movie. Their frustration is understandable because right from the beginning of Bollywood in British India, one community has always had a strong hold onto this craft. This movie business started in Lahore in a...

              DHURANDAR TWO REVENGE - 839  The eagerly awaited release of Dhurandar 2 , THE REVENGE was slated for  19 th March 2026 . This being the Gudi Padwa , Ugadi , and Eid was sure to attract attention across the World . The wide publicity and the all  time record breaking Box Office Collection that it  had managed as the highest grossing All Time  Indian Movie added an extra bit of  glamour  to it . My own experience of watching the Movie's  First Part at Ajax in Toronto , Canada is covered in my blog in Blue . We are now at Regina in Canada some 2700 KMS away from Ajax . I had mentioned in passing to my Daughter Anoo even before I had left Ajax for Regina that it would be nice if we could watch Dhurandar 2 THE REVENGE in Regina as I liked the part one very much . She informed me that she had already booked Tickets at the LANDMARK CINE COMPLEX for the 31 st March 11.00 am show . Overnight snow made  ...

This Temple is right on the Banks of the Tambarabarani river and at a very scenic and Picturesque location . The talks , discussions , ways and means to build a GOPURAM for this August Temple had been going on for years . Ways and means were found to fund this mammoth task which could easily run into several Crores . Humble contributions from one and all and sizeable contributions by from the Well to do with a noble Heart made this possible . We are a regular visitor to this Temple and have seen the construction of the Gopuram taking shape  at various stages over the years.  As it happened , we are now  in Toronto , Canada where we got the news of the auspicious MAHA KUBHABHISHEKAM  OF THE TEMPLE AND GOPURAM on the 25 th of March 2026 by the Temple Archagar Ramalingam whom we knew from o...
