Not democracy, But controversy!!

To get  in to the limelight, you dont have to use your right to Freedom and speech, but take a route of controversy!

Yes, The "Padmaavati" turned "Padmaavat" turmoil  give us the idea, that few set of people " will respect the poetic transcription, but  will not entertain a fictional masterpiece".

How well is this controversy, and how strong are the people to get the order from Supreme court for the clearance of the movie release just in a period of its 2 month ban; Well, a good decision.  

Without prejudice to any community and without hurting the sentiments, Acceptance of a work piece by an artist should not be subjective to the facts, and in case of a fictional art, should never be seen as reality. Not at least  till it becomes more of a ground of criticism crossing borders of laws and civilization.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the director of the work, known for his taste for history and historical fiction as movie material, as well as for specializing in grandiose design and colorful backgrounds, chose the story of Chittorgarh’s siege as the setting for his movie. He is not an archaeologist having to do any factual study on the respective part of history.

Is it only in our country where our sentiments either make a world famous artist leave the country  for his objectionable paintings or give them life threatening warnings to perform?

Lets see, how India welcomes the most awaited movie of the celebrated Director. I wish release of a fictional work will not create anymore internal disturbance.

........54 PsOW of 1971#VijayDiwas

For those who never returned............

At the entrance of the Dining Hall of NATIONAL DEFENCE ACADEMY (NDA) Asia's Largest Mess, There is a table set for one with chair tilted forward, set for Armed Forces Personnel Who are PsOW and forgotten. In honour of these soldiers, The army has kept the tradition Alive for the past 45 years.

Symbolic reason

Not Just one War, but many in tale,

Where Indian Army proved its mettle and never Failed!

Table Set is small,

Frailty of prisoners is its symbol!

Single rose displayed,

Reminding us of Family and loved ones of In Armed Comrades!

Candle Unlit, Symbol of their Unconquerable Spirit!

The slice of lemon and salt on the bread plate,

Reminding us of their bitter fate and Families' Tears as they wait!

The glass Inverted, As they cannot toast with us this night,

Salute to the braves, tribute to their Lives!!!

The Chair- It is Empty, for those who never returned!

 Getting versed with Blockchains.

Any currency requires universal recognition of its value and location and features that cannot be replicated. All these features were translated into the ledger for the bitcoins, known as distributed ledger in blockchain parlance.

In common currency, exchange of value takes place with physical exchange. In bitcoins, the exchange of value occurs as ownership information is instantly published everywhere in all connected blocks using cryptographic hash functions. Security feature in digital currency is monitored using unique hash value for each message of transaction. The technology ensures that this value tag cannot be duplicated and any tampering becomes immediately evident.

Basic features of blockchain as told by Mrutyunjay Mahapatra(Deputy Managing Director, SBI) are

1. Sharing Capabilities: It can be user defined, Peer to peer, Top down or bottom up.

2. Transactions are bitcoin origined.

3. Tamper proof ledger of record keeping.

4. Efficiency and Speed are the USPs of this technology.

5. Normal trading cycle comes down from 10 days to two.

Other markets remain highly critical about bitcoins, it has also been noted that, unless bitcoins are used for ordinary transactions, 'it could be just another fad'.
