Syria Vote‬

I get why many don’t want to bomb or send British troops to ISIS infested Syria, but When you get a cancer, you got to have chemotherapy and that comes with a side effects. I love  Jeremy Corbyn but has he found a new miracle drug to cure ISIS?  ‪#‎SyriaVote‬

I really feel bad for all the civilians caught in this issue, but I think all who are opposing any real action against ISIS in Syria aren’t really coming up with a real world solutions to this problem. ISIS’s aims are non-negotiable – that’s why a diplomatic solution won’t work, Destroying ISIS is the only solution. I am most certain bombing alone will achieve nothing it also needs diplomacy.
Uk has already started bombing, and this morning RAF has bombed Omar oil field under IS control, you don’t think this will help?

Would The Taliban would have integrated if left alone? I agree that Taliban are still in existence because bombs don’t kill ideology but the numbers have reduced and Taliban threat is not as bad as it was. only if the Afghan government does its job they would be fine.
We can argue the pros and cons on the air attacks into Syria, but Allowing ISIS to continue is allowing more innocents to be killed too.

15 years on International Space Station #15YearsOnStation

Today marks 15 years of continuous human habitation on the International Space Station. Its a remarkable human achievement.

For me the lasting legacy of ISS will be the partnership forged with nations like United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada.

The ISS enables countless scientific discoveries that  are not only related to space but also on earth. It improves water purity, air quality and even medical treatments.

There is ISS and then there is ISIS who are gigantic setback to progress of humankind. Ridiculous amount of money is wasted every year to fight this imbeciles, this money could be used for people in need, or even for the space programme, The sooner we get rid of ISIS the better.

Kothanodi (The River of Fables) at London film Festival

kothanodi-04

Kothanodi (The River of Fables) was dark, twisted, disturbing and a brilliant attempt by 1st time director Bhaskar Hazarika to bring 4 Assamese folklore to visual medium.
The film has dark undercurrents of traditional folktales, that keeps you on the edge and it has a brilliant blend of reality and magic realism.
The movie was screened at ICA as a part of 2015 London Film festival.
I was really impressed with the film and would like to congratulate the whole team who worked on it for attempting something different and delivering it.
Synopsis by Cary Rajinder Sawhney

The darkest fairytales are often the most compelling, unsettling us by touching on universal fears and desires. It is a feeling that Bhaskar Hazarika mines with the grotesque magical realism of his debut feature. Four traditional folk fables present disturbing, multi-layered tales of the travails of their female protagonists, revealing the underlying patriarchy that drives the woman to the edge of sanity. Senehi is a village wife who plots her stepdaughter’s murder when her husband leaves for work. Her husband Devinath (Adil Hussain) meets a woman who has given birth to a strange vegetable and resolves to help her unearth the mystery. Meanwhile, in another village a rich woman (Seema Biswas) prepares her daughter for marriage to a python, hoping that untold riches will spring from the union. And a mother resolves to save her newborn child from the husband who buried her previous three babies alive somewhere in the jungle.

It’s a bad trailer and doesn’t do the justice to the film, but it gives a taste of the film without ruining the plot.

Syrian Boy

All the governments needs to do more when it comes to #WarRefugees but lets not forget the real culprits here are Assad, ISIS and Russia for making these people leave Syria in 1st place.
