Avengers EndGame | Honest Review With Little Spoilers

2019-04-26T08:05:00.001-07:00

Avengers EndGame is a fantastic movie and goosebumps are guaranteed. I one of the biggest Marvel fan ever as I have followed marvel from day Iron Man 1 was released. I am actually aware of all these characters from when I was a kid. I used to read Marvel comics from the vendor near my home for like 1-2 rupees. I used to love every other comic book I read about these amazing characters and I used to love the Incredible Hulk. Anyways, Avengers EndGame is a beautiful movie and it concludes everything satisfactorily however as I said, I am the greatest fan of marvel, therefore, I have a couple of thoughts about this movie.

1. Captain America - Even though the story is beautifully made and has a lot of logic to it, the timeline, however, is not satisfying at all. Even though he follows the timeline it is not really that logical. At the end of the movie Captain America is an old man, but how? When he never returns from his past, he should be either puny (very old around 100+ years old) or the same captain America he is currently, however, he turns out to be damn old. I mean, it doesn't make any sense at all.

2. Asgardians - Now even though thor tells that only half of Asgardians are alive, this movie doesn't exactly tell how they escaped Thanos in Thor Ragnarok. We don't even see how they come to earth.

3. Prof. Hulk - Prof. Hulk might play a major role in this movie but we just don't know exactly how Prof. Hulk came into existence. I mean Bruce does talk about it but a very small explanation is what I feel.

4. Captain America is worthy to wield Mjolnir in the endgame? Captain America could hold Thanos hands for a long time in Avengers Infinity War, how? So if you are true Marvel fan, you would understand but if you are not then you would be confused. I feel that Avengers EndGame should have explained about Captain America being worthy.

5. Captain Marvel - Title credit scene shows how captain marvel comes in touch with the Avengers but they won't show rest of the story on how the conversation went between them.

6. Gamora - What happened to Gamora at the end of the movie? Now, that the question marvel should answer.

So even though the Avengers EndGame is an epic hit and a very satisfying movie, I feel a lot of things where missing.

Kaala Movie Review: A Total Disappointment

2018-06-07T11:06:00.000-07:00

Kaala didn't see a huge opening like Kabali maybe because I think the producers knew that it's not a great story, but still they did it! Kaala, a story which takes place in Mumbai slums like all the other Bollywood flicks, there will be a local leader who will be controlling the people by giving justice. Of course, Rajinikanth is that extraordinary local leader who fights crimes against public living in those slums. Because it is Mumbai you can spot the main villain mostly dresses as a guy from Shiv Sena and his ideologies reflect a little bit of Modi like Swachh Bharat, in the movie however it is called as a Clean Mumbai initiative (No there is no Thanos and no wiping out the universe). So same as some other movies, politicians try to grab land in the name of development and of course Karikalan aka Kaala tries to defend them.

Kaala also has a small romantic side, when he see's her ex-lover Zareena the scenes looks awkward. The whole movie doesn't have that Rajinikanth charm in it. No style, no good dialogues and no good story. I feel that almost 70% of the movie doesn't give justice to thalaivar and his acting skills. The main villain is played by Nana Patekar. The story doesn't give that quality element to Thalaivar, therefore, this movie is a total failure.

I mean come on, a Rajinikanth's movie has a scene where a small kid around 10-year-old says "Daadu, he seems to be nice, don't kill him". Who the fu*k wrote the script?

The climax is the most annoying, I mean Rajinikanth gets shot in the chest inside a burning building with hundreds of his followers overlooking him. Next scene they show that everyone is convinced that Kaala aka Rajinikanth is dead but still believes he will come back alive. And then, Kaala really comes back unharmed. I mean not even a small scratch mark. I would be convinced if they would have at least showed his stretch marks.

So before the climax, there is a scene where on one side, Nana Patekar aka Hari Daada is listening to Ram Katha and on the other side, Kaala is fighting all the evil guys. But the story and kaala kicking ass don't make sense coz in the scene the explanation goes how Ravana was beheaded several times and here Kaala is kicking ass. Everyone would have thought that Kaala is Ram however if you see the movie, that small girl (Don't kill him kid) tells her dad Hari Daada that 'Kaala is Ravana because he has 10 brains". It is confusing for sure however for me, it didn't make any sense.

So finally, everyone starts throwing colours like as if they don't care and then done. The movie is over!

A BIG FLOP!

Kaala Movie Cast: Rajinikanth, Easwari Rao Huma Qureshi, Nana Patekar, Pankaj Tripathi, Anjali Patil
Kaala Movie Director: Pa. Ranjith
Kaala Movie Producer: Dhanush
Kaala Movie Rating: 1.5 stars

P.S. Spot Tamil Nadu Snoop dogg! He looks creepy and funny!
Also, that dog in the poster doesn't play any role in this movie like most of the other characters.

Sminq - A New Way To Share

2018-04-30T00:36:00.000-07:00

Founded in 2015 by the trio Shachin Bharadwaj, Santhosh Nagarajan and Sheldon Dsouza, Sminq is an app that allows you to share updates and know details of specific places available real time. In simple words, Sminq is a new age Instagram story specific to places. Sminq initially was a doctor's app broadcasting live status of the patients in the queue. With this launch, Sminq has become one of the first apps that broadcast real-time information. The content varies from photos, offers and videos.

I was given a first-hand experience of the app and I am totally impressed with the concept. Imagine if you get information about a restaurant seating before you enter the place or knowing the discount price of a specific product. Everything is possible with this app.

Presently the app is live in Bangalore and Pune but from the day one, ready for global users across the world, therefore, you can start using it anywhere and everywhere.

Note: All information on Sminq expires in a day (by default) but the ones that users love to get to stay longer! Every upvote to a post extends the life of the post on the platform.

The app is now live on Android & iOs, so download now!

Also, we have heard that red meat is not good for your health. Making the right choices in eating healthy food can have a long-term impact on your body. So here is a list of top 5 types of meat which are healthy for you to eat at any time.

Country Chicken is very much different than regular boiler chicken or farm chicken. Country Chicken tastes different, the quality of meat is different even the health benefits. The Country Chicken is little rubbery but it has High Protein, Vitamins & Minerals. The speciality of Country Chicken is that it helps you in reducing weight and risk of Cancer. This chicken is also better than the commercially-raised poultry because commercially-raised poultry often contains hormones, antibiotics and traces of pesticides which can harm your body.

2. Pork

Pork has high in protein, essential vitamins, minerals and amino acid good for overall health. Some cuts like tenderloin, loin chops and sirloin roast are healthier than commercially-raised poultry available in the market.

Rabbit meat is quick to digest and is rich in nutrients, therefore, it is very ideal for pregnant women. This meat is also good for bones and teeth health because it contains a high proportion of calcium. It also has zinc helps you strengthen your sexual health.

Don't Buy Suguna Chicken!

2018-04-12T08:29:00.001-07:00

Let me first start this article by saying 'I have not been paid to talk against Suguna Chicken'. This is a personal analysis and I recommend to test Suguna Chicken after reading this article. How many of you have felt weird about the chicken you buy from the local butcher shop? Like having medicine smell or tasting weird or the taste of chicken. If you have come across to some of these qualities in your chicken then this article is for you.
I usually buy chicken from the local butcher and couple of months I used to hate eating chicken because of its taste and smell. I also observed that many people who buy the chicken used to talk and complain about the chicken. It was confusing at first but then once I ordered Five Star chicken from Swiggy and I really loved the quality of that chicken meat.
So I investigated further because how can one set of chicken felt differently than the other and I found something that I think nobody had observed till now.

I bought chicken from almost 10 shops near where I live. The meat was little red in colour, bloody and smelt like expired medicine. How can 10 shops give you some kind of weird chicken meat? So I asked a butcher and he proudly told 'Sir, this is Suguna Chicken. This chicken will be softer and tastier'. but my tongue said otherwise. In Bangalore, things have so happened that Suguna Chicken has become a brand, therefore, most of our butchers buy it from Suguna Farm. It is definitely not wrong but think again, the increase in demand can surely impact on the production. So I was sure that Suguna Chicken was using some kind of chemical to improve production. To confirm this, I also bought Chicken from the Suguna's Daily Fresh and yes, it was the same chicken. Frankly, until this point, I used to blame the meat than the brand.

Last week, I went to buy Fish from Yeshwanthpur. I was window shopping in the fish market and suddenly I came across a chicken centre. The guy was so overly marketing Suguna chicken saying "Saar, come Saar best chicken for the best price". So I said him "I want to buy a chicken but I don't want Suguna Chicken because it tastes bad' and he replied, "Saar, I also have Vencobb chicken and it doesn't taste like Suguna". I told him to cut and pack chicken from Vencobb farm. The meat was not bloody and red unlike Suguna, it was similar to chicken I used to buy a year ago. I cooked it and was surprised to notice that it tasted totally different.

The meat colour, smell and taste of Suguna Chicken is very different than the regular chicken from other farms. You be the judge! Try chicken from a different farm and Suguna Chicken, you will know the real difference.

Rentomojo: A New Age Of Owning Has Begun!

2018-02-13T09:45:00.000-08:00

Time keeps on changing, and with the evolving trends, we also need to implement and adhere to the changes around. Certain times it becomes very necessary for us to change or implement things in our lifestyle so that we benefit out of it. Bringing in the same logic to owning something, a company named Rentomojo has come up with a strategic plan to help people own furniture, electronic appliances or motorcycle in a smarter way. In this article, I am going to give you a basic idea of this company, an insight and of course my wise thoughts.

About Rentomojo

Rentomojo is an online home appliance, and furniture rental start-up started in the year 2014. Founded by CEO Geetansh Bamania, Rentomojo has created a new category in the Indian market. Ajay Nain, Achal Mittal, and Gautam Adukia are the other three co-founders of this company.

Rent/ EMI: A Debate

It seems like an age-old debate, and the conclusion would always be EMI for the only reason that at the end of the term you don’t need to give it back. EMI, however, feels unsafe because of its terms, conditions and credit score.

However, in rent, the only scare will be that they would take the product back. Your credit score is also not affected at all. It surely depends on person to person. A guy working in a different location might feel happy to rent and a person settled off in a particular city might think otherwise.

For me, I would rather choose to buy a product on EMI than renting it out, but what if I can rent a product, use it for a couple of days and then buy it? Don’t you think it would be smarter? Because once you rent and use, you will know how good or bad the product is, right? Rentomojo has come up with the same plan. Now you can not only rent products at a very cheap rate but can also own it.

Rent-To-Own:

Rent-to-own also was known as rental-purchase, is a type of legally documented transaction under which tangible property, such as furniture, consumer electronics, motor vehicles, home appliances and real property, is leased in exchange for a weekly or monthly payment, with the option to purchase at some point during the agreement.

This model was first started in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s but is currently making a big noise in India. Rentomojo’s rent-to-own agreements are based on a monthly rental term on the goods, and at any time of the engagement, you can buy it giving extra money. This is a smart way of buying because, in EMI, you don’t get free services like from Rentomojo. For example, I rent out a bike and use it for 2 years with all free services then I will buy it giving little more extra money. So I get the bike, the advantage of renting as well as free services. So who is smart?

My Wise Thoughts

Rentomojo is a company helping me to own home appliances, furniture as well as motorcycles smartly, but is it really smart? This question definitely comes to our mind, and it is not wrong. Rentomojo is doing something very smart, but think again, no company in this world does business without profit. Are they making us fool by telling smart way of buying? Definitely not!

Rentomojo is a really a good alternative to owning something for way too many reasons. India is filled with middle-class families, and every paisa makes a difference. Think like this - you don’t have a refrigerator, and you want to but one. You have an option to buy it in one shot, which you cannot, or you can take it on EMI. Something bad happens, and you need 10 more days to pay the monthly EMI, but once the date crosses, you get calls, your credit score goes for a toss, and it is insulting.

Do you need all this to own a small refrigerator? Absolutely not! At Rentomojo, however, you can rent and use the refrigerator, change it anytime you want, get free services and you get 30 days buffer to pay the rent. And one day if you want to own it, buy it from them for 1/4th of the actual cost. I feel, Rentomojo is trying to bring in a good change and I am sure, the rent-to-own category would be a great success.

Wonderchef Kitchenware company was created by Mr Ravi Saxena and Celebrity Chef Sanjeev Kapoor in the year 2009. This company is been widely accessible across the country with 200 Crore sales within a short period of 8 years.

Recently, Wonderchef Kitchenware company enhanced its business in southern part of India by simultaneously launching 2 exclusive Brand Outlets in Commercial Street and VR, Whitefield, Bangalore. Mr Ravi Saxena and Celebrity Chef Sanjeev Kapoor inaugurated the retail stores accompanied by press, bloggers and fans. It was a wonderful event to get the first-hand experience of their products. I personally loved some of the products like Pizza Maker, Breadmaker and Barbeque. I would personally love to review their Breadmaker because of its uniqueness. I mean, I have never heard of such a product which can make bread at home without a grill. The Barbeque was a surprise again, it felt very premium and the price is as low as you can guess. The one product which missed focus was the Electric Lunch Box which I have heard a couple of times. I think it is called Wonderchef Hot Meals Mini but I couldn't spot it in the retail store. The Wonderchef Hot Meals Mini is a tiffin box with built-in plug letting you heat up before you eat up. The NutriBlend was one of their prime product and according to Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, this blender is the top blender available on the market today. I cannot say that because I haven't yet tested it or reviewed it.
Last but not the least, their nonstick cookware is awesome. I mean the Garnet 24cm Wok with Lid is excellent in quality. I did some weird tests on it and I am really convinced that the nonstick cookware is of high quality and durable. Of course, it also looks beautiful.

Wonderchef Kitchenware is promising company and waiting to review some of their products soon.

Philips India Products varies from electrical, electronic, automotive to homecare, it is a subsidiary of Royal Philips of the Netherlands.

For a sustainable world, Philips India does have many products which are aimed to decouple economic growth from the use of natural resources and ecosystems by using those resources more effectively.

I was invited to an event hosted by Philips India basically to promote its products. Hosted by Chef Ranveer Brar, this event focused more on healthy living and eating. The Philips India event was a small introduction to their products and how they are healthy for example their Air fryer. Chef Ranveer Brar did educate us on different health tips and of course, gave some knowledge about Philips India Products. I was impressed of his knowledge because some of the tips he shared are very useful including the time when he spoke about Mixer Grinder watts.

I myself use Philips India products like I have induction cooker, Kettle and toaster. I am pretty much satisfied with the products from quality to lifespan. I am waiting to put my hands on Airfryer soon. So to conclude, Philips India products are a healthy alternative to your life and this event just gave a boost to the healthy living concept.

These Stories And Characters Are Very Similar to Indian Hindu Epics

2017-10-21T09:26:00.000-07:00

We have heard stories from the Puranas. The magical god doing different miracles to protect his disciples but few of these stories are not only similar but its weird. Are all these stories same but told in different ways? You be the judge!

1. Krishna's Lifestyle - According to the holy scriptures, Krishna was a cowherd boy and always used to be around cows and goats. On the other side, Jesus was a shepherd too! The stories of Krishna and Jesus has a lot of similarities.

2. Krishna's Death - The story of the Greek hero Achilles is a very interesting one. It is said that at birth, Achilles was dipped in the river Styx. This made him invulnerable to almost everything, even death however because he was dipped holding the ankle, his foot was totally vulnerable. Achilles was killed by a poisoned arrow. So how did Krishna die?

3. Indra - Zeus the Greek god is the ruler of Olympian gods. He is also responsible for weather phenomenon related to skies like storms, thunder, lightning and rains. Indra on the other hand of the ruler of the heavens and the god of thunder and rain. Look at there weapon, is it similar?

4. Kamadeva - The story of Roman's Cupid or Greek's Eros is so similar to Kamadeva. Both Cupid & Eros are love gods, who travel with bow and arrow.

5. Govardhana Giri & Mount Sinai - I would like to bring in a small passage from the Hebrew Bible. Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood beneath the mountain (be-tahtit ha-har) (Exodus 19:17) and in Deuteronomy 4:11 it states "And you came near and stood under the mountain [tahat ha-har]." It is described that were thunder and lightning flashes and a thick cloud upon the mountain so Moses led them towards the god who was basically under the mountain.

Tenebrosity - The Stages Before Suicide!

2017-10-18T07:13:00.003-07:00

It was a lazy afternoon when I started getting goosebumps all of a sudden. It was raining outside and the fan was spinning over my head, it was cold. I thought to myself what if the motion of the fan spins inside my head. It never feels cold but the thought gave me goosebumps. My name is Rajesh and I would love to tell a tale of 2 people living inside my body. One person loves life and the other wants to die. This dilemma is constant, scary and disturbing because I am a creative person. Any thought of death or suicide would make me write the second part of this article and if not then possible someone might sign on my death certificate. There are few people who experience the other guy living inside you and some might be lucky to escape the clutches of death. I don't know if I am an unfortunate or a fortunate soul but I would like to tell my experience so that if you feel suicidal, you'll not feel left out.

The silent surrounding with a sweet whisper calling you to follow the path of death is not new to many but what if you really feel and experience it. Our brain is so chaotic that it follows the rules of a demon inside but not the guardian angel. A voice running constantly in my head saying jump, stab, chop, die etc is not only scary but it's stupid. I mean, I know that the voice is not real but still I tend to follow it. That is where the battle between good and evil begins. For example, you are on top of a beautiful mountain. You feel the beauty of life on the edge of that cliff but a voice deep within will ask you to jump! That second if you lose your consciousness, you are no more. That battle between the good and the evil becomes deadly and you are frozen in time on a cliff. One wrong move, bye-bye to life. I have battled many rounds with many things in life, like a train, tablets and even cockroach killer but the good side won the battle.

So what do you feel exactly? Well, it happens without my consciousness. I will be sleeping and suddenly someone wakes me up. A dark figure calling me to a place, for the first few times, I did follow him but then I realized that I am hallucinating. He takes me to the terrace and then he flies. So your brain is telling you to jump but your consciousness or your common sense just stops you from doing it. Other times you are standing on the top of a building, and a silent whisper tells you to jump. The cockroach spray scene was weird. I was killing some of the cockroaches using this spray and suddenly a thought came to try the spray. I stood with the spray thinking about if I should try or not, not even realizing that it would kill me. It took me half an hour to realize and say no. I feel many different sensations, like why not try poison to what happens if I die? Ya, many do have this sensation but it's very strong to me. The sense of consciousness helps me and saves me every time. I think the key to overcoming this is a sense of consciousness and happiness. I mean, I find happiness by giving happiness to others, what is yours? Identify that first.

So what is the solution to decrease this? Many were told to share their feeling, many were told to trust in others and many other were just told not to think about death. Trust me, at least for me nothing has worked. I mean come on, we don't think about death, it automatically comes. So how am I alive? well! It is because I am living in the world of reality with a sense of consciousness that wants to live and not die. Please make note that the points many people advise might work but for my philosophy of life, I don't feel it is right to take the help of another eye coz you are blind. I have many friends, who understand me and who talk to me every day. Or in the sense of checking if I am still alive. But I can't share everything with them. I am a person who believes in sharing happiness, therefore, I think I don't like to share something bad with anyone. Hilariously being a psychology student, I have spoken to many and I have made them better but I don't know, I can't take anyone's help. Am I egoistic? Do I think I am superior? I don't know but I feel that I can live my life without discussing something which I experience. Even now, the only reason I am writing this is to help people who are undergoing the same pain every day thinking they are the only ones feeling suicidal.

A word of advice to all those people who are thinking about suicide. That second of your life if you pass then you have a wonderful future ahead. Today many die because of many reasons but I am sure when they are just seconds away from death everyone regrets their decision. I feel like dying too because I didn't have happiness in life but now, I only give happiness to people who make me happy. Helping others who are facing physical or emotional disasters and making them come out of it. Anyone who is feeling lonely and want to die? Contact me! Let us live life happily coz you have only once to live or to die!

Beware Of A Scammer Named Yuvraj Trivedy aka Yubraj Kumar aka Yuvraj Singh

2017-08-15T03:29:00.008-07:00

Scamsters are everywhere, beware! Saying this, I would like to introduce a scammer/ scamster named Yuvraj Trivedy (also known as Yubraj Kumar and Yuvraj Singh) who cheated not only me but many others. Yes, even I got scammed! It feels weird to say that but it's true. Let me tell you exactly how it all started and how I got scammed.

The introduction of Yuvraj Trivedy:

As many of you know that I was planning to produce a Food Program for Youtube. The first set of the shoot was done and it was under post-production. During this time, I was approached by Yuvraj Trivedy/ Yubraj Kumar (The Scammer) claiming to be the friend of one of my bud and told that he would take the Food Program to the next level. The things happening around them and his so-called influence made me believe and few others to trust him to take my Food Program forward. He promised us that he would direct the show and give us some money. We had nothing to doubt him! So we said yes. That is how we were pulled into his scamster's trap.

The Food Program:

So we already had a food program idea but this guy claiming to know everyone started to tell us that the idea is not that great and needs a lot of editing. I was not really happy with a few things but I was forced to change my mind because it was not an individual choice. He made sure that he is correct by telling us about his fake background of knowing people in the business. I was not that intelligent to question him on the industry standards because I don't know anything about the industry. So he made a plan to travel to Chikmagalur for a shoot. We packed our bags and let's go!

Cheque Bounced

The Sequence of Events:

To travel, he hired 2 cars BMW and a normal sedan class car. The BMW rent is, of course, costly and I thought it is fine because what he initially told is to produce the video. Because he was hosting the entire cost of the trip as well as my promised fee, I had no problem travelling with him but soon I discovered that the trip was unplanned because no hotel was booked. I took the initiative to rent a room and take them. The property we stayed in was beautiful and scenic. However, things got weird the way he planned to shoot and it became so weird. Soon we discovered that he doesn't have any money as he lied to us saying it is at Mumbai airport or misplaced at Bombay airport. Slowly we stepped into day two where again things were not that proper because of the financial issues what was happening. However, the last day, believing him I spent around 15k to settle off the dinner and stay. The way he used to carry and the events made me believe his words that he will give me my money back but it didn't happen. We came to Bangalore and the next day he meets me and gives me a cheque of 1 lakh rupees for the commitment of the video shoot telling me to transfer the videos as well as promising 15k money back by evening. However, he asked me to give him 5k more for the evening dinner and he promised to send it back by evening. With a cheque in hand, I believed him totally and made myself fooled with a round figure of 20k. He also promised me to give a total of 6 lakhs for the entire video shoot.

The Car Scam:

So the next day, I got a call from one of the drivers saying that Yuvraj Trivedy's cheque has bounced and he has escaped from Bangalore. I was shocked and made few calls to verify the news and yes, he has cheated the car rental owner for rupees 2.5 Lakhs. He has also damaged the car and its keys and ran off to Delhi. I called Yuvraj and asked him not to involve me in his shit, however, I also told him to return my money but it never happened. Even to this day, he is online on phone and he is somewhere in Mumbai. Due to my busy schedule, I am unable to catch him but very soon!

The Love/Marriage Scam:

During this period, I was trying to get more information about him. Using my contacts, I caught hold of a few people who have also got scammed by him. One lady told me that he tried to trap her by saying love and another lady told me that he has cheated on her by talking 18 Lakhs. So basically, he is a womanizer targeting many single females for sex and money. I request all the females to share this article and beware of this guy.

Currently:

Currently, the scammer Yuvraj Trivedy / Yuvraj Singh is somewhere in Mumbai and I am still waiting for my 6 lakh 20 thousand rupees. (In which he paid 2.5 lakhs recently saying he has changed)

When I Was A Woman On Facebook For Three Months

2017-06-06T09:29:00.002-07:00

I was always fascinated to see how girls get so many likes on facebook and I don't. I specifically, mean men. Men don't get much attention on social media for obvious reasons but also, we have many friends. My friend gets a thousand likes on her picture and I get 30-40 odd. Am I ugly? well! not really, but the fact still remains mysterious. As a marketing guy, I have always thought positive about girl influencers and I myself have suggested female influencers for many clothing brands. But thinking about it now, which is later being a woman on social media, I regret it. I don't know if I should call women influencers or men perverts because most of the likes come from men. Of course, I can't say all men are perverts but there are many. I got to this conclusion when I create a fake profile with a fake photo and identity. The purpose of creating a fake profile was to recognise female influencers push of a brand but soon I realised that being women on social media is not only difficult but a psychological push.

Friend Requests: My fake profile got 5k friend request in a span of 15 days. Currently, I have 4864 on my friend's list and around thousand plus followers. Every day when I log in, I used to get somewhere between 10 to 30 friend requests. Trust me, next time if a girl tells you that she didn't notice your friend request, please don't misunderstand her.

Likes, Comments & even Shares: The number of people liking your picture or commenting on it is wonderful but every time I logged in, I used to have 70 - 80 notifications. These comments do make women smile but few embarrass her character. Below are some of the comments, I received as a disguised disgusted woman.

Messages: Even in messenger woman faces problems. I am not telling all guys would send out bad messages, but few. I myself do send random messages with funny one liners etc but the messages sent by disgusting men are different. Even good men feel embarrassed to read some of these disgusting messages. Not only that, women get hundreds of messages from random people, it's unbelievable and it's just "HI". Oh my god, guys if you really want to talk to women then don't send just hi or something disgusting, send something funny so that they laugh and talk to you.

So on top of all this, I used to get video calls every 15 minutes. I mean, you don't have even 15 minutes to browse. Sometimes, if you cut the call, he again calls and calls till you log out of Facebook. It is not only irritating but I feel ashamed to be amongst these people. A small girls profile will receive so many negative things that I appreciate every woman on Facebook for staying positive. I request every woman to take necessary steps according to law to punish these perverts but on the other hand, always remember that not all guys are perverts.

I also request men to keep your junk in your trunk because no woman wants to see your dick pics on messenger and no one is ready to sleep with you. If you really want to talk to a girl then be kind, talk to her sweetly and who knows you might find your right match but messaging something bad is unacceptable.

I request all women to share this article and let your friends, boyfriend and even your husband know because I didn't know what you all go through till I myself became a woman on Facebook. Let me know what you think about this article in the comment section below.

5 Reasons Why You Should Visit Brew BQ

2017-05-04T05:58:00.001-07:00

Who doesn't love Barbeque? What if I tell you that there are a Booze and Barbeque festival in Bengaluru? Well yeah! Phoenix Marketcity is conducting Brew BQ, a festival filled with sizzling steaks, beers and live music. Last year, I did attend this event and it was a fab because it's not only fun being a part of it but they had some delicious stuff. You can click to see more information about the last years Brew BQ Festival

1. Grills -
Brew BQ's main attraction are the smoking grills from different restaurants roasting in front of us. It not only looks delicious but each and every restaurant's grilled items are delicious and cannot really compare. This festival will also feature some of the best Food Trucks who make some delicious food. Last year, my best pick was from a Food Trucks and it was a vegetarian dish.

2. Booze -
Beer is also one of the major attraction of this festival. I can say that Brew BQ is like a picnic where you take tins of beer and fry chicken on the bonfire and gather around friends. Similar to that but the experience is different.

3. Live Music -
In the middle of delicious barbeque and beer, the music fills up entertainment part of the whole festival. And this year, Arunaja, Ministry of Blues and shamrock are going to rock the stage and I am totally up for it.

4. Activities -
Wanna ride a bull? Last year, BrewBQ tried there level best to throw off the contestants out of the bull ring with some jiggles. This year, they might have some different plan.

5. Take a break -
Do you really need a 5th reason? if yes, then the reason or suggestion for you would be to just take a break and have fun.

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion Review (No Spoilers!)

2017-04-28T10:37:00.001-07:00

This is the day when the most trended question has been answered that is "Why Kattappa killed Baahubali?". RIP to all those Kattappa-Baahubali memes and jokes which occupied my twitter and Whats App groups. On this auspicious day, not only Baahubali but even the director was worshipped in Tamil Nadu and Andhra by pouring milk. Let's not forget the white people from the west comparing Baahubali to Hercules, 300 and some marvel comics. The epic of S. S. Rajamouli has swept the nation, so much so, that even PM Narendra Modi couldn’t stop himself from making a reference to it during one of his speeches. So in the midst of all this, how was the movie? Without giving much of story I would say that Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has NOT met my expectation. Well! I predicted the story long back and it was 80% similar to whatever I thought, so I am not impressed.

The most part of Baahubali 2 is about Amarendra Baahubali (Mahendra Baahubali) and his marriage story is most highlighted. Not much about Shivagami Devi but she is the main person who decided everything including the murder. However, Shivagami Devi is a leader and it shows in both parts of the movie. Much like the first part, 2nd part also has a love angle and of course its difficulties but I feel S. S. Rajamouli has stretched a little because at the certain point you feel bored.

The best part of the movie is cinematography and VFX, it is just above any movie you name it. Baahubali: The beginning was compared to movie 300 but Baahubali 2: The conclusion cannot be compared because of its amazing cinematography and VFX effects. The movie is done with point precision, but too much of heroism kills the movie Baahubali and of course, the predicted story was not that interesting. Even the battle between Bhallala Deva and Mahendra Baahubali has been reduced to not more than 15 minutes which kills the ending because the predictable clash should have been focused more.

Aslaam Khan: Nowhere to be seen in the Baahubali 2: The conclusion. However, there is some indirect reference or I could say that Baahubali 2: The conclusion did have Aslaam Khan's role but seems like Sudeep was busy. At a point when Mahendra Baahubali prepares to attack Mahismati, a warrior points out that he doesn't have so much weapon to support the fight. If Kattappa, didn't have many weapons then 'Aslaam Khan' who could have supported but somehow his character doesn't come anywhere.

Avantika: She might appear maybe 5 minutes that's all. I mean, her character is very less. So for all those boys who were waiting to see Tamannaah's dance, sorry boys.

Kalakeya's brother: Where was he in the first part? Kalakeya weirdos are back but without Kiliki language.

Devasena & Subbaraju: They are from the kingdom of Karnataka. I don't know how many people would discover that but there is a lot of reference including 'Basava' bull. hope you got that!

Rating:

Story - 3
Dialogues - 3
Music - 3
Direction - 4
VFX/ Special effects - 4.5
Cinematography - 4.5

So finally, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is worth a watch and for entertainment purpose only. You can definitely continue the story by reading "The rise of Sivagami" which is sold everywhere with 10% off.

So why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?
Go and watch it yourself!

TTK Prestige Cookwares

2017-03-30T02:30:00.000-07:00

A week back I was invited to an event named 'MasterChef runner-up and celebrity Chef Shazia Khan demystifies ‘nouvelle cuisine’ for the home cook' but it was more like a TTK Prestige Cookwares promotion. The event was well organized to feature some of the TTK Prestige Cookwares and I am totally impressed with few. To give a small background, I use TTK Prestige Cookwares at my place and I love their non-stick cookware set. The quality is top class and of course very premium products useful for many reasons. The celebrity Chef Shazia Khan actually used many TTK Prestige products and it seems to be easy to do it in those. I was really interested to know more about Clip-on Pressure Cooker and Veggie Cutter because those are 2 unique products I saw. Air-fryer was also but I would not like to talk more about it because I use the product and I love it. Clip-on Pressure Cooker and Veggie Cutter was something that I have interest because I saw the perfection in those products. The Veggie Cutter was smooth to use and Clip-on Pressure Cooker can be used by a click of a button. I can easily say that these two products and Air-fryer are the next generation cookwares and I would love to use it on a daily basis.

Coming back to the event, Chef Shazia conceptualized a fusion menu for the event and was really delicious. Of course, I didn't get a chance to experience everything that she made but whatever I tried, I felt the perfection in it. She made dukkah crusted paneer with creamy beetroot, the brinjal affair, grilled figs with almond crumble and vanilla mousse, chilly mutton sliders, Cuban chicken skewers and specially concocted grape juice puchka shots made from TTK Prestige products and everything was done in just under an hour and a half.

Speaking at the event Chef Shazia Khan said, “The palate of Indians is becoming increasingly sophisticated. People are open to trying out different cuisines as they are now being exposed to high-end restaurants mushrooming across the country, shows like MasterChef as well as widespread international travel. Such events enable me to inspire, teach and motivate home cooks to create delicious Michelin restaurant quality food in their own kitchens.’’

So finally, to be very frank products and I have TTK products which are more than 20 years old and it still works. I am a fan, are you?

List Of Foods From China You Must Avoid

2017-02-04T10:41:00.001-08:00

Made in China products are sold in India and in a very large number. These products vary from commodities to food to electronic devices and are sold at a very cheap price. Some of the products have been banned in India but some still alive and affecting our health. The following is a list of food from china you should and must avoid.

1. Apple Juice -

One apple from china a day, will harmful for your life. China actually uses banned pesticides to grow apples and those apples are sold raw as well as in the form of drinks which is harmful to your health.

The chicken from china is polluted and according to research done by many agricultural departments has concluded that the chicken suffers from avian flu and other foodborne illnesses.

Industrial Salt is not actually edible but somehow this salt has been used worldwide as a normal table salt. This salt may contain chemicals which can give you high blood pressure, hypertension, and heart attack.

4. Green Peas -

The recent discovery has shown that China's green peas are actually fake created with snow peas, soy beans, green dye and sodium metabisulfite (A bleaching agent).

5. Chicken Egg -

In china, they create the fake chicken eggs. They look like and feel like an egg but they are completely artificial. The eggs are made with non-edible industrial chemicals which are very harmful to your body.

6. Tilapia Fish -

80% of tilapia from china comes from polluted water which is unsafe. Plus they are fed with bad food which makes tilapia toxic and very harmful to your health.

7. Cod Fish -

Cod Fish is also grown in polluted water which is unsafe. The chemical grown fishes grow well but very harmful to eat.

8. Processed Mushrooms -

Like the fishes, mushrooms are grown in dirty areas. These mushrooms are not cleaned or processed well.

9. Chinese Garlic -

Methyl bromide is used as pesticides to grow Chinese garlic. This is harmful to your food as it causes abdominal pain, convulsions, dizziness, headache.

David Guetta's Show Cancelled: 3 Facts Media Wont Tell You

2017-01-12T07:38:00.001-08:00

Media has proved us time and again that they want TRP rather than the facts. Now after Bengaluru Police cancelled the show, presstitutes are propagating total false information. Today if you search about the David Guetta event, the main thing what you see is that Bangalore was not prepared for such a big event after mass molestation incident on the New Years Eve. But the main fact is nowhere visible. I am giving you 3 facts about the David Guetta Show and as a citizen, you decide.

1. Organisers submitted permission letter on Monday - The footfall of the event is around 20,000 people. Bangalore has hosted many events twice as large as this but this time Bangalore Police did not give permission because the organisers submitted the permission letter very late. Giving security to 20,000 people is not a joke, it needs to be well planned and executed.

2. Last Minute Venue was changed - Let's understand this wisely, it's not easy to shift 20,000 people event at the last minute and expect everything to go right. David Guetta event was moved out of city limited to a venue which falls under rural area.

3. Local elections - How many of you know that there is a local election happening in the same district?

By the way, I want to give a tight slap on Mr.Karan Singh, CEO of Sunburn for misleading the public and of course presstitutes for their shameless reports. By the way, Bangalore police have offered organisers to reschedule the event.
