Ah! Just what I was looking for…… 😊
What’s the use of just gathering information without adding any meaning to it?
I need the bridge of expert interpreters to help me make sense of my world.
A big THANK YOU to the developer!
Namaste 🙏
Refugees >> terrorists
Terrorists >> refugees?
What good does it do the cause of the “Islamic State” to randomly massacre civilians in the developed world??
Were those German Christmas shoppers really ‘innocent’? Maybe this is the question the Jihadists want us to ask…!
What truths do movies like “Elysium” & “Snowpiercer” try to bring out?
Neglect ~ exploitation ~ brutalisation!
The sociology & psychology of the demonic
The close connection between economics & law-&-order
Seems to be a good move. Another move, along with demonitisation, to increase tax revenue.
I only hope that the newly generated income will be used efficiently and transparently by the government.
Quite happy with the recent changes – lot of political activity to bring in significant reforms in major issues!
Whatever the motives, this government deserves some credit/praise for shifting the gears forward, from a previous paralysis/stagnation
Oh! The American fiasco with catastrophic global implications is beginning with a bang……
Isolationist ~ imperialist
Sometimes, a fool can do much more damage than a villain!
Watching “House of Cards” now, & reading about Trump, is like using the Prisma app for photos…
I had to watch this, after reading the director’s daughter’s article, it was a tribute to her father.
Not just another feminist film! I think it’s a very personal film, maybe even autobiographical…
A rebuke & a warning to all wannabe male feminists, like me!
Poetic, poignant & critical, not just ideological propaganda or a purely aesthetic narrative.
Way, way ahead of its time! Subversive and sentimental at the same time. I never thought that was possible……
A film about film-making too. Truly a great movie.
I downloaded it from YouTube. Very bad video & audio quality! 😠

Oooh Yeah, baby… Would you like to watch with me??
Ex-engineer – a new genre of being human, especially in this country!
Forwarded to Shanthuru (Sri Lankan refugee & film-making) & Rowan (post-ideology). Masi too? Yes!
Compare with the article by Rudraiah’s daughter. Just now finished watching “அவள் அப்படித்தான்”. Perfect timing! 🙂
Uniqueness is sweet, but it’s secret is bleed

– Maya: (from World Wisdom)
“The Sovereign Good is real, the world is dream;
The dream-world has its roots in the Supreme,
Who casts His image in the endless sea
Of things that may be or that may not be.
The fabric of the Universe is made
Of rays and circles, or of light and shade;
It veils from us the Power’s burning Face
And unveils Beauty and Its saving Grace.”
— Frithjof Schuon
Theology, depth psychology & critical theory – all coming together in mystical spirituality.
This world is NOT necessary!
Things (including Christ) both reveal AND conceal (GOD) – this is essential for our salvation (to know, & not be destroyed).
– “When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.
Live your life in such a manner that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice!”
— American Indian Saying
Most people live in such a way that, when they die, they cry and the world rejoices!
The deadweights.
And what about those babies that are greeted by laments and regrets??
Remembering one’s beginning & ending is essential to live well in between. So never let all the noise & chaos get to you!
We need to recover the wisdom of the ancient indigenous (now mostly extinct!) peoples……
When Jesus died, most people did rejoice, right?? And didn’t he cry when he died?!
