family man (season 2) REVIEW

 Manoj Bajpayee is a stellar actor. There’s very little that I have seen of this guy which doesn’t make me believe in the character he plays. But every time I will see him in a role other than Srikant Tiwari, I WILL think of Srikant Tiwari. That's how believable he is in The Family Man. As for this series, both seasons are simply phenomenal.

You may as audience expect that the second season might bring in a little lull considering you have already pulled in the tricks to get the audience interested, but Raj and DK and writer Suman Kumar took the second season to an even more evolved level. Blurring the lines between the good and bad guys, the purpose of agents who work for a country versus the idea of terrorism, there’s nothing that wasn’t touched upon.

URI: THE SURGICAL STRIKE (11/1/2019): Honest review

First we will talk about ratings:

IMDB: 8.3/10
ROTTEN TOMATOES :3.5/5

So lets start with brief a story :-

 The film is based on the surgical strikes conducted in 2016 by the Indian Army, against militant launch pads in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). 35-50 terrorists were reportedly killed in the covert operation, in retaliation to the terrorist attack in Uri that killed 19 Indian soldiers. Subsequently, Pakistan denied the incident.

Based on true events of September 2016, director Aditya Dhar declares that his film is a ‘Tribute to a brave new India’. Nationalism is writ large all over this war drama that leads up to and reimagines the retaliatory surgical strikes conducted by the Indian Army against militant launch pads in ‘Pakistani-administered Kashmir’.The screenplay is divided into five chapters with the film opening in June 2015. Within minutes, Dhar unleashes a barrage of gunshots as an Indian Army convoy is ambushed by militants. A few minutes later, in a covert operation, a special forces unit attacks a terrorist camp on the Eastern border. The guns and grenades explode to a pulsating soundtrack and the breathless editing builds tension. On their return to New Delhi, the victorious unit, led by Major Vihaan Shergill, is commended by the prime minister.

REVIEW:-

the Surgical Strike is a fitting tribute to the Indian Army conceptually but cinematically, 

URI – The Surgical Strike a Special Forces para commando who has retired from the frontline and taken a desk job finds himself similarly conflicted. This is not what he was made for. He jumps back into the action after he loses a family member in a terrorist strike. Revenge is the trigger.One of the most powerful scenes in the Oscar-winning war film The Hurt Locker sees Jeremy Renner’s character, a bomb-disposal expert who has returned to civilian life after an intense combat experience, standing in front of a supermarket aisle that’s stocked with dozens of different breakfast cereals, lost, confused, unable to make a choice. Not long after, he returns to Iraq, embracing all the precarious challenges of the job because evidently nothing else gives him the same sense of purpose. That is where he belongs.Broadly speaking, Hindi films are about emotion and not nuance. It’s just their grammar, and not necessarily a shortcoming. But URI – The Surgical Strike is fashioned as a different kind of Bollywood war film, one whose ambitions are closer to Zero Dark Thirty than Border. The film recalls the retaliatory strikes undertaken by the Indian Army on terrorist launch pads in Pakistan, and if pruned judiciously it might’ve worked as a crisp, gritty procedural.

Crucially the first hour is a slog. After an action-packed prologue establishes the leadership capabilities and derring-do of Major Vihaan Shergill, the filmmakers spend too much time focusing on his life beyond the uniform. All the usual tropes are at play: ailing parent, widowed sister, orphaned niece.

Vicky Kaushal is in especially good form as the protagonist, looking every bit the army man. He brings both the bulked-up physicality and the sort of steely determination that the part requires. Because this is a Bollywood film, it’s not merely enough that Major Shergill has the tactical skills to execute these sensitive operations. No! He must also get down for some gool ol’ fashioned herogiri, crunching bones and crushing limbs with his bare hands.

Sadly no other character in the film is deemed worthy of respectable screen time or even to be adequately developed. Yami Gautam plays an intelligence officer, and Kirti Kulhari a skilled pilot. The casting of female actors in these parts amounts to mere tokenism, given how little they have to do. Mohit Raina, also playing a paramilitary commando, gets a few moments to shine.

The film is very creative and dialogues  are also awesome . One of the main dialogue that I like is "HOW IS THE JOSH"

COVID-19 And lesser known facts

WHO announced  COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic on 12-03-20.

Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly. It is a word that, if misused, can cause unreasonable fear, or unjustified acceptance that the fight is over, leading to unnecessary suffering and death.

How dangerous is the coronavirus?

The coronavirus is extremely dangerous, and I suspect that the danger is currently being 

underplayed by the world medical community to minimize panic as we prepare for the worst.

The other feature that makes this a scary disease is the long period when you can spread the disease without showing symptoms. That’s why it spread so far on the Diamond Princess cruise. Today’s estimate is that about 10% of the passengers have been infected, originally from one person. 

The total no of active cases in the world is 3.12 M and 933k is recovered till now and still counting.

In India total no of active cases in 22k and total no of positive cases approx 32k. And total no of deaths till date 1100.

SOME SAFETY TIPS :

WHO WILL WIN KKR OR RCB

IPL 2018 Highlights Qualifier 1 SRH vs CSK: Chennai Super Kings are into their seventh IPL Final after they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by two wickets. Faf du Plessis scored 67* and single-handedly took the team into the final. CSK were wobbling in the chase and were in danger of not reaching the final on Tuesday but Faf chased down the 140-run target with a six. CSK lost wickets at regular intervals and could never get going in the chase. Rashid Khan from SRH was the chief destroyer as he gave only 11 runs for his 2 wickets. Faf du Plessis, however, is keeping CSK in the chase. The winner will reach the IPL Final. CSK won the toss and elected to bowl and the bowlers did a great job as SRH could not recover from the bad start and lost regular wickets. Their scoring rate fell below six in the second half of the innings. Carlos Brathwaite made 43 runs from 29 balls to help CSK recover and post 139 for 7 in 20 overs

Nipah - A Virus With No Vaccine & 75% Mortality Rate!

The Nipah virus may be little known, but scores extremely high when it comes to risk. The virus was first reported in Malaysia in 1998 and is no stranger to India. Indeed, it has struck India and Bangladesh multiple times since, leaving behind a toll count of nearly 280 infections and 211 deaths. And now, it’s back!

Nipah virus has already claimed over 9 lives in Kerala in past one month. Three people have tested positive for the virus over the past two weeks. And over 25 victims carrying its symptoms have been hospitalized.

Here’s what you should know about the Nipah menace.

• Indications of a possible infection are fever and respiratory trouble and confusion. Flu-like symptoms have also been witnessed in some cases. The severity is too high and can progress to a state of coma.
• Incidentally, this is a virus that can re-activate itself inside the patient’s body months or even years after the first strike. In such cases, the host can develop lasting health conditions such as stubborn convulsions and personality changes.
• The way to stay out of harm’s way is to avoid exposure to infected animals, such as pigs and bats, and not consuming raw date palm sap.
• Transmission of the virus to humans takes place via direct contact with infected bats, infected pigs, from other NiV infected people and by consuming food which is either infected or has come in contact with animals which are infected.

Symptoms of Nipah Virus:

• Muscle pain
• Fever
• Respiratory problems
• Nausea
• Fainting
• Stomach pain
• Choking
• Vomiting
• Blurred vision
• Fatigue

The incubation period for the symptoms to develop for this virus is from 5 to 14 days and once the diagnosis is done the treatment must be given immediately. The Nipah virus can lead to the following in patients
Severe Lung condition
Asymptomatic infection
Inflammation of brain tissues

Preventive measures:

• Stay away from people who are already infected with Nipah virus or NiV
• In case, you have to touch the person then make sure you wash your hands from time to time.
• Utensils, clothes or any other items used by the person infected with the virus should be kept separately.
• If you are transporting the body of a person who has died of this virus, then make sure to cover your face, especially the nose.

Treatment for Nipah Virus:

No vaccination or medicine is available for treating people or animals with Nipah virus. The only treatment available is intensive supportive care. So visit a hospital as soon as you see the symptoms.

Not surprisingly, the Nipah virus ranks in the list of Top 10 priority diseases that the World Health Organization (WHO) has earmarked as possible candidates for the next major outbreak. Though treatment is currently limited care, efforts are on by the government and the medical community to develop preventive measures to combat the spread of the Nipah virus.

RACE 3 Is one of the most awaited film of the year, Salman's Race 3 is all about speeding cars, Salman's Swag.

Salman khan character is amazing , the trailer starts with the intro dialogue "Ye zindagi ki race hai, kisi na kisi ki zindagi le ke hi khatam hogi (This is the race of life, it will take somebody’s life).”

Its all about salman's family,he tries to save his family. with the dialogue "parivar ke lye agr jaan bhi deni padi to bhi denge"

We then see him doing high-octane action on bikes and even a chopper. We are introduced to other characters like Anil Kapoor’s don and his son, played by Saqib Saleem.
With bullets flying all over, Race 3 seems set in the backdrop of a middle eastern city. In close ups, Salman announces how he is ready to go to any length for his family. With the customary wedding joke, Salman takes the narrative forward and makes us meet a bare-chested Bobby Deol.

Race 3 is the most ambitious Bollywood film of recent times. While the budget of the film is said to be whopping Rs 120 crore, the value of its satellite and digital rights are projected to be worth Rs 150 crore. If the deal goes through then Race 3 will become the costliest Bollywood film ever for broadcasters.

THE TRAILER WAS AMAZING .. MUST WATCH.

Amazon Vs Jet.com: Which Online Retailer Is Best For Buying Tech?

Online shopping has taken over. Gone are the days when you would head to the local Radioshack for all your tech needs. These days it's much easier, more convenient, and often even cheaper, to head to an online retailer like Amazon or Jet.

Of course, not every online retailer is the same — some are better than others. There are a few online retailers to head to if you're looking for tech — and they might be better than the other for certain situations. Perhaps two of the most famous are Jet, and of course, Amazon.

But which should you head to? Here are the pros and cons for Amazon and Jet, and what makes each service worth considering. To compare the pricing for the two websites, we've chosen a few products -- including the Samsung Galaxy S8, 10.5-inch iPad Pro, and TCL 32S305 TV.

Subscription: Amazon Prime costs $119 per year and offers free shipping on tons of items, access to Amazon music and video streaming services, and more.

What it offers: You can buy pretty much anything from Amazon. Well, anything except for competitive products from the likes of Google and Apple. Tech, clothing, accessories -- you name it, you can probably buy it from Amazon.

What it doesn't offer: Products like the Google Home, Apple TV, and Google Chromecast are in direct competition with the Amazon Echo and Amazon Fire TV — and as such the company doesn't list them on its website.

When it's cheaper: Based on the products we compared, it seems like most of the time, Amazon is the cheaper option. For both the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the iPad Pro, Amazon ended up being cheaper. Why? Well, there's a much larger range of sellers on Amazon than on Jet, so it's possible that the wider range of sellers can lead to more competition within the Amazon Store, and lower prices. The Samsung Galaxy S8 came in at $558+ for the 64GB model, which is around $40 cheaper than the Jet equivalent, while the 10.5-inch iPad Pro came in at $587+ — over $60 cheaper than on Jet.

Other info: Amazon Prime may cost more than Jet, but if you want benefits like access to Amazon Prime video, Amazon Prime Music, and more, then it may well be worth it for you. On top of that, Amazon generally offers a wider range of products, despite the few omissions in competitive areas.

JET

Subscription: Jet doesn't offer a subscription in the same way that Amazon does -- instead it'll simply give you free 2-day shipping on any order over $35. In other words, if you're not already an Amazon Prime member, you don't necessarily need to pay for quick and free shipping.

What it offers: Jet offers a range of products, including tech, but the selection doesn't seem to be quite as big as Amazon's. That's not to say it's a small store -- there are hundreds of products in each range of categories, so it likely still offers what you're looking for, or a very similar item.

What it doesn't offer: As mentioned, Jet is missing some things. We found that we couldn't find many recent flagship phones, nor many Amazon-specific products, like the Amazon Echo -- though accessories for those products were available.

When it's cheaper: Generally speaking, it seemed like Amazon was the cheaper option -- but that wasn't always the case. While both the Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPad Pro were more expensive on Jet, the TCL 32S305 TV was cheaper by around $30. Jet's real advantage seems to come in the form of other products -- like food items and everyday needs.

Other info: As mentioned, the real reason to go for Jet is that you're looking for things like food items and paper towels — but it's also a great way to get free shipping without having to pay for it. Any order over $35 offers free shipping, which is good news for those that don't want to pay for an Amazon Prime

Conclusions

Is Jet going to take Amazon out any time soon? Well, no. But that doesn't mean it isn't worth considering. We recommend comparing both sites for any item that you're looking for — but if you're not interested in doing the work, Amazon is probably still the way to go, especially if you don't mind the $119 Amazon Prime subscription.
