The Prime-Flix-Star - A Discussion

 Hello Readers

 Hope You are doing well.

 By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.”

― Richard Dawkins

 The "virtual world" and the new normal is the latest jargon that is going around in all the corporate offices and workplaces.

 I am amazed and appreciate the great corporations and their strategic plans, which brought us into the remote mode of working, in a jiffy, I would say!

 We have heard this rhetoric that the world went through an unprecedented change, and to an extent changed forever.

 Switching gears to technology, the world is now partly ruled by technology and then by people.

 "Online" is the word which is in the limelight.

 Similarly, as we were not allowed to visit cinema halls to watch movies, the server farms of the OTT app owners would have skyrocketed with viewership traffic and increase in the membership numbers which is quite apparent.

 "OTT", again a household name, which stands for Over-the-top.

 This means streaming across different devices whenever we want is possible because of "over-the-top," a convenient little term that explains the new delivery method of film and TV content over the internet without the need for traditional cable or satellite pay-TV services.

 This has brought into a new dimension to entertainment, a new window to men and women who want to show their talent, a Pandora box of opportunities for sure.

 A new concept where you pause and play a movie, a soap opera at your whims and fancy, for a premium.

 There are movies involving eminent actors which got released directly into OTT apps which is definitely a paradigm.

 Now the ripple effect is that it boomed the smartphone market and most importantly, the android and apple TV market and service providers collaborated with OTT vendors and are selling a SIM card with these packages bundled with it.

 The concern.

 Till now, I have spoken all that is great about this whole eco-system called OTT, but now there are specific topics that need to be discussed and addressed.

 Firstly, the content, there is this concept "becoming a hero in the wrong way" I have noticed many Shows which are produced in these platforms move in that direction, for instance, drugs, murder, crime, domestic violence, taboos, and more and.

 The hero character is shown gaining money, name, and fame by becoming a tycoon in all of these! seriously? what is the example you want to set?

 When I took some time out and interviewed some friends and benefactors about this, I got mixed responses.

 Some told me, well it is just a TV show, not much of importance, others told me, they give us awareness about how criminal activities take place which is like a good thing! Basically, the positives and negatives which goes on in a society.

 Finally, there are the rest who say, there should be positive themes rather all the fuss and cry about negative societal themes.

 I am totally neutral just reporting my findings and leaving it to you to share your opinion.

 Here is mine:

 When we watch a video, there are many reactions which trigger in our mind, depending on what we see, and it is well known if you keep watching something continuously, we tend to follow or idolize.

 These TV shows are supposed to self-regulated, and you would get a PG 18 warning at the beginning, I do not think even the advanced economies follow it, so the self-regulation is a myth I strongly feel, the producers can do better.

 They do have all the potential to webcast something positive, and people can imbibe it in their daily life, but they sell what sells easy and quick!

 Am not saying that positive content does not exist, there are some beautiful TV shows and movies both positive and realistic out there worthy of being watched and enjoyed.

 But we as humans have proved that we have a negative affinity and so we get pulled into it watching the negative ones in the name of thrill and excitement and turn a villain character into a hero and celebrate him/or!

 More concerning is that kids are exposed to all this content habitually, intentionally, or unintentionally, what does it do to a young developing mind? will they not think that is the reality? We, as adults, should be more cautious and responsible and consider the viewership with care.

 Finally, the goal is to build a healthy society with good values, this is the era of online learning! So, what they learn matters.

 Enjoy the shows, the movies and all that but also be mindful about your screen time, check if this is making your life sedentary, couch potato, a passive thinker.?

  Step-up let us enjoy at the same time be mindful.

 Thanks for your time, have a great week ahead.

Hope you all are doing well.

“The moment of crisis had come, and I must face it. My old fears, my diffidence, my shyness, my hopeless sense of inferiority, must be conquered now and thrust aside. If I failed now I should fail forever.”

― Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca

thought from:https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/inferiority

This blog for me is a long time subject on which I wanted to spill some thoughts.

Our body is not what makes us who we are, the identity which people think it's you is never the same from the day you were born until the day you leave this body? Continue reading to understand why?

Our skin grows every month, hair and nails grow every day, your intestinal epithelial tissue replaces each month, so the fact is that we are particles which are always unstable and stabilize and again become volatile and stable again.

Our body is seriously a super machine, which is one among the best creation till now, according to me.

Let's look at our earth do you think it is unstable, definitely not, our good old earth is rotating at a speed of 460 meters per second that is roughly thousand miles per hour! Thanks to the gravitational forces created by this rotation, we are all stuck to this earth.

Plants grow and one day becomes trees, in the process many leaves of the trees shed and again grow with new hope.

Flowers blossom and bear fruit, and the siblings from this the enormous tree is born again which will be the future of the species, yet in this life cycle of a tree, we can see there are many unstable stages, which ultimately stabilizes only for a short while.

The above examples are telling us only universal truth, starting from this earth ending to the tiniest being on this earth; we are all unstable individuals just surviving on balancing acts to lead our small little lives before we close the book one day.

So let us just enjoy life each day, make us not feel glum by comparing ourselves with others, because what is given us to because we chose it or we were destined for it.

I realized that I think there is nothing called as bad luck and good luck, I think it is all about how we look at it! So even there your stability counts!

The crux of the matter is that our mind is the most unstable in this world!

The day we come out of disabilities such as worrying, feeling afraid to face people or a new environment, thinking that we are inferior or even more worst getting trapped in the spell of ego, we have won the war within! That day we will enjoy a stable mind still for a brief moment, which seldom is permanent as it would take a lot of spiritual strength to attain this stage.

Let us all try to learn from Mother Nature to be stable and forgiving!

Thanks a lot for your time, please let me know your comments.

Anubhava - A Teacher

Hello readers

Hope you a are doing well.

When a man with money meets a man with experience, the man with experience will go with money, and the man with money will go with experience.

-What I have learned from Russell S

There are many strict teachers in the world one amongst them, who teaches you lessons in the hardest way possible is “experience”.

The Sanskrit word for experience is called "anubhava."

The beautiful sculpture.

Birth is one of the greatest miracles which happened in this world and continues to; we can call it the chemical and spiritual magic for all times.

Till date, the famous biologists have agreed on the presence of soul when a soul leaves its body or what we call as death, and you know the evidence for this is the sudden loss of weight of a person the moment his heart stops.

It was said and proved that approximately 25 gms of the body weight are lost as experimented by Duncan MacDougall in 1907 at Massachusetts.

Does that leave a chill down your spine, hearing that fact well this is also an experience, so now your perspective and thinking will change about soul and your body?

That is the beauty of experience it just as a surprise for you each day which opens up spontaneously.

We were discussing birth after the miracle happens you will learn to lead your life, Oh my god I think that is the longest and the best learning process which we continue until the end.

How important is it learns and grow? It is as important as your heart beating to keep you alive, as vital as you lungs constricting and comforting to hold you live;  without learning you are just a lump of flesh and physical weight.

Learning and experience go hand in hand, each person will have their way of thinking, but there can be a convergence of thought after they experience and conclude that what they felt was something different then what they expected but now their feeling about that thought or process is matching with what his friend thought it would end up as, so we come to point of agreement based on our perspicacity.

So experience is one brilliant phenomenon which will bring people together, at the beginning of the passage I mentioned experience as a strict teacher. So it turns out either you learn based on others experiences and moves on the right path or you get tutored the hard way from professor “ experience.”

For a sculpture to become beautiful, it takes many blows from a chisel before it becomes that beautiful piece of art.

Please do not feel disheartened, depressed, agitate or feel desperate in your life when things don't go your way that is to say you are currently having a bad experience in your family or work or your business ; these are all class tests and exams devised by professor "experience" which he wants you to come out with excellent marks of maturity and enthusiasm which may probably make you understand the purpose of your life and move on like a man who is always protected by a shield of  patience and wisdom, which will help you just to smile at the people who try to flatter you, betray you or think you are not understanding their hide and seek game. that is the result of the excellent coaching of your pedagogue.

Try to help people around you to move in the right direction and also which will, in turn, help you and make you stronger and boost your self-confidence to pass these brief moments on earth, make it a memorable one.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for your time

Hello readers

Manpower without unity is not strength unless it is harmonized and….united properly, then it becomes a spiritual power.

-Sri Sardar Vallabhai Patel

When we were kids we definitely had lots of fun, well now I cannot say that we are not having fun but I must say that was real fun.

Well while playing or while cycling all of us should have fell down and hurt ourselves, and I remember I used to have many wounds as I was a very naughty kid well that is what my mom says.

When we particularly talk about wounds, they are tiny cuts on the skin, mostly caused to friction effect  and the severity depends on how bad was your fall.

I believe that certain things that we experienced in our childhood have a re-occurrence in our prime age, if atleast not the same situation the basic frame work of the issue prevails.

I wanted to compare the simple situations that we underwent in our childhood to the situation now, you know at that age we all just felt the pain of those wounds for a little while and forgot about it.

But the situation has changed now the physical wounds have become  mental wounds which are hard to heal, these wounds are many like, disappointments, frustrations, difference of option, the feeling of insecurity and love, the greed to earn more.

If you ask me how do these wounds hurt you,  actually they bend you from inside, there is a surprising example which I read in a technology magazine, people are getting more disappointed when their phones, laptops, PDAs’ internet at their homes stop working!

Further the article says people are developing a kind of an attachment on these gadgets or machines or whatever you call it like an owner develops an attachment towards his dog.

The dog never argues with his master and so do the gadgets, our brains starts liking them, that is the explanation given by the author and there ends the example.

I understand, in  this is 21^st century and we are in the peak time of  technology and research ,this can happen but we cannot afford to get disappointed for silly things.

Well it is just not that we are developing this horrific habit for reacting to everything, that which concerns us and that which doesn’t as well , we need to work and consider our goals as first priority and we need to aim to service towards society and nature.

We all are not born perfect, but when we say adios earth! We can try to be almost perfect.

Reduce the wounds within you and give that first-aid that is required and heal them before they get infected and it becomes too late to set it right.

Thanks for your time, have a great week ahead.
