Saif Ali Khan wants to reimagine Ramayana to show Ravana as a good person & justify Sita’s abduction. This is most disturbing & must be opposed.
Why at a time when states are struggling to deal with increasing kidnappings?

Maybe Saif’s anti-Hindu family history can explain

 Saif’s ancestors came to India from Afghanistan & rose to power under Mughals. They assisted British against Hindu kings in establishing empire. Saif’s family has ISI connections. One of them was top choice for ISI chief post. Saif is proud of it all, and named his son Taimur
Said’s ancestry in India begins with arrival of Salamat Khan in 1480 AD. Babur, Timurid ruler of Kabulistan, defeated Ibrahim Lodhi in first Battle of Panipat and established Mughal rule. Salamat’s great-grandson Muhammed Pir rose to power in Akbar’s court
Source: The Hindu
Salamat’s descendent Alaf Khan helped Mughals in battle against Hindu Maharaja of Jaipur and was rewarded with Kalam mahal (which today is known as Pataudi House neat Delhi Gate).
From same family, Faiz Talab Khan helped British against Marathas.
As reward, Faiz Talab Khan became first Nawab of newly established princely state of Pataudi in 1804. Saif was (symbolically) anointed 10th Nawab after death of his father Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi in 2011

Saif’s ISI connect:
Mansur Khan's cousin Major General Isfandiyar Ali was one of the contenders to the post of ISI chief in 2012.
Isfandiyar’s father Mohammed Ali, who was younger brother of Mansur’s father Iftikhar Ali, was also a general in Pak army
https://t.co/xHMJtZGx4h
Mansoor’s uncle Shahryar Khan, who was son of elder sister of Mansur’s mother, has served as former foreign secretary of Pakistan and chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board

Now, moving on Saif’s legal battle for Bhopal royal property on which Govt of India also has a claim:
In 1939, Saif’s grandfather Iftikhar Khan married Sajida Begum, daughter of the last Nawab of Bhopal, Hamiduallah Khan. Hamidullah ruled over an area with 80% Hindu population & was opposed to joining India in 1947 but Sardar Patel foiled his plan
https://t.co/FN277bRz3U
Habiduallah wrote to Jinnah saying he wants to merge Bhopal with Pakistan as he has been a “staunch supporter of Pakistan and a loyal and devoted friends of the Muslim cause in India”

He also jailed Shankar Dayal Sharma for agitating against Nawab’s plan
Sajida’s sister Abida Sultan was to inherit royal property but moved to Pakistan. While govt of India laid claim on it in 2015, Saif’s mother Begum Ayesha Sultana Khan (Sharmila Tagore) is pursuing a court case to establish her Mansur Ali Khan as heir
https://t.co/ki1qNvzA2a
Mansur’s sisters Saleha Sultan and Sabiha Sultan are engaged in a legal battle with Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Khan and Begum Ayesha (Sharmila) for division of 6000 acre of property
https://t.co/ki1qNvzA2a
In a 2011 interview, Begum Ayesha (Sharmila) lamented that Indians don’t respect royal titles whereas titled people are respected in England.

She said it’s because people are “uninformed”
https://t.co/CMOlYaGACU
In same interview, Sharmila said that Saif is very much into family history and all her three children (Soha and Saba) are conscious of their ancestry but in a nice way."

In a recent interview, Saif said that there was no concept of India until British gave one.
Saif also suggested that his family members who shifted to Pakistan did so as they thought India won’t be a secular country anymore (as if they were moving to a secular state!) Saif’s own grand-uncle Sher Ali who joined Pakistan Army was an advocate of Islamisation through Army
Saif’s has inherited Nawabi shauqs from father. Like Mansur Khan, Saif too has been involved in hunting & killing of blackbuck. Mansur did so at a hunting expedition in Haryana’s Jhajjar in 2005. Police recovered carcasses of a female blackbuck
https://t.co/18zX9SfrNa
Like Mansur, Saif too married Hindu woman and has done so, twice. Amrita Singh was a Sikh who converted to Islam just married marriage. Their children are Sara and Ibrahim. Saif’s second wife is Kareena Kapoor. Their child is named Taimur Ali Khan.
https://t.co/yzYzLu88pa
Taimur name sparked much outrage among Hindus as Timur was a most barbaric invader and killer of Hindus. While Saif was vague about the choice of name in an interview, Kareena revealed that Saif, in fact, is an admirer of Timur
https://t.co/ZwMqUUnNv5
In same interview, Saif said that he cannot “realistically name his son Ram”

In the land of Ram, an Indian citizen who otherwise insists he should not be judged by family history and Pakistan connections, can’t “realistically” name his son Ram

Why?
https://t.co/ZwMqUUnNv5
Saif has a history of playing a womaniser on screen. Off-screen, he makes fun of sacred Hindu slogans like Bam Bhole
https://t.co/X12SWZJfk5
And now, in his own words, he wants to show Ravana in good light and justify abduction of women.
While we will make every effort to expose the agenda, any Saif lovers would do well by following Saif himself: He doesn’t watch Bollywood films and so shouldn’t you!

Doolittle is weirder and worse than I expected. It pulls the Hunt for Red October language trick but for animal noises, and introduces the concept of the Doctor talking to animals three times in the first fifteen minutes, in case you forgot.

This movie is a higher budget FARCE OF THE PENGUINS.

Apparently it's Dolittle.

I was not prepared for just how bonkers that was.

At one point, Dolittle's boat blows up, so Antonio Banderas gives him a new one. And everyone is hanging out on it as they sail and they hear a voice say "company!"

Right, so since I got a bottle of Australian white going through my system, its just as well I capitalise on that & do a drunk movie review. Its "The Chronicles Of Riddick", a film I have a love-hate-relationship with. Excellent visuals & one liners, but atrocious plot & casting.


Mute this thread if movie reviews, drunk or sober, bother you. Thanks, with a cherry on top.

This btw is the Directors cut of the film. So there's like 15 minutes of extra footage explaining to us all the bad choices David Twohy made in producing a sequel to PITCH BLACK, that clearly looked at Lord Of The Rings and then just ran through three lines of cocaine.

For what its worth, thats not a rip on Twohy himself, but realistically speaking CHRONICLES vs PITCH BLACK makes Cameron's ALIENS look like the petting zoo-sequel to "Hey, why not get a guinea pig for Christmas" pet choices of Ridley Scott's ALIEN.

Just to substantiate this claim, this is the first I dunno 15 seconds of the film. Wth is going on right?! Again, stupifiying visuals but context people!

The AT&T Warner Brothers HBO Max Thing is Suuuuuper Interesting: A Thread

Background: AT&T announced that all Warner blockbusters for 2021 will get day and date release on HBO Max, even (apparently) if theaters open up again. This includes Wonder Woman 1984, the Dune reboot, and the fourth Matrix.

What happened next was basically a rebellion, led by big directors, big actors, the big agencies and the big unions. The reason, of course, is the AT&T decision might cost them all big money.

A massive chunk of big talent compensation is dependent on box office receipts. Gross points and box office bonuses are part of the compensation package for big actors and big directors. It's a big part of their deals.

What happens when there's no box office? Take a wild guess. These are tentpole releases. High risk, high reward. The actors, directors and agents are going to take a big hit relative to their expectations.

Mangottu Bhagavathi Temple
#Palakkad #Kerala
#keralatemples 🚩

Mangottu Bhagavathi Temple is situated in Athipotta near Alathur of palakkad district. Devi is kshipraprasadi here and grants relief to those who worship with full faith.
Mookken Chathen, situated on the Northern 👇


side of the temple, is guarding Devi here.
Story says that, once there lived a weaver named Kuttan who was a Devi Bhaktan. During one festival time Kuttan was so pleased by the Devi Vigraham that he requested her to come along with him. At that time wind blew heavily and Cloths


in Vigraham flew. Kuttan immediately decorated Devi with his cloth which stuck to Vigraham and returned to his village and with his Umbrella. Devi came with him in that Umbrella and stayed in his place. This place is Mangottu Bhagavathi temple now.

1/ Thread: "A Silicon Valley Ponzi Scheme"

Thanks to @chamath for laying this out in Social Capital's 2018 annual letter.

I've always appreciated his outspokenness.

2/ The hardest thing for most startups today is the path to market: first finding product-market fit & a way to reach customers, then building a ruthless machine to acquire, monetize & retain them.

3/ Because of this, when the VC industry invests capital into fast growing startups today, the plurality (if not majority) of invested capital will go into user acquisition and ad spending, for better or worse— usually worse.

4/ Todays massive venture-backed advertising, sales, and user acquisition playbook has morphed into one that champions growth at any cost.

This is creating a big bill that will soon come due...

5/ Ad impressions and click-throughs are bid up to outrageous prices by startups flush with venture money, and prospective users demand more and more subsidized products to gain their initial attention.

Thread: History of Mogadishu and it’s conquest by Imaam Al Yaqubi


One of the First Imaams of the Hiraab Imamate was Mohamed Ibn Imaam Ahmed ibn Imam Ahmed Ibn Imaam Mohamoud Ibn Imaam Cumar Halol Al Yacquubi (Abgaal) during the year 1097 hijri.


After the collapse of the Ajuuran Abgaal nomads from the interior had started moving to take over the strategic port town of Mogadishu which was then under the muzzafar dynasty. By the 1600s Abgaal warriors had captured the city and set up their base in shingaani.


Mogadishu at the time was a large and well known port town. The Abgaal clan taking over control allowed them to obtain political power and world wide recognition.


Under Imaam Yaqubi’s time in power it’s reported that French merchants had arrived at the port in 1701
and stayed for 11 days. They had attempted to take the city but were successfully repulsed.

WHEN GH0RI TOOK TO HIS HEELS WHILST FIGHTING A HINDU QUEEN

THE BATTLE OF KASAHRADA (Kayadara)
1178 AD

Strategy! Bravado! Glory!

(Thread)


The narrative set by left historians about one of their favorite poster boys "Gh0ri" is that he went unchallenged upon entering the Indian subcontinent with one king falling after another.(1)

They conveniently deleted this event. Why? An agenda aimed at making us feel weak and inferior against the invaders in an attempt to glorify them. Simple strategy: To destroy a civilization tamper their history.(2)

Gh0ri defeated Prithviraj Chauhan at the 2nd Battle of Tarain in 1192 and laid the foundation of Delhi Sultanate. What is not well known is the fact that 14 years before he won this battle, he was defeated by the queen of Gujarat "Naiki Devi"!(3)

In 1173 Md Gh0ri had conquered the Ghaznavids in Afghanistan. A ruthless, persistent and deceptive Gh0ri was successful in conducting massive raids deep inside Indian territory.(4)

So, I want to talk about how sexual harassment and fair pay are linked at Google (and beyond), because I think that's an angle that isn't being highlighted enough in the coverage of these walk-outs. I'm going to frame it largely around my personal experience there. Thread.

When I was sexually harassed by the director of the area I was working in, I was afraid to report it because I was worried that "getting him in trouble" would result in the subtle retaliation of missed leadership opportunities.

I wanted to continue working on the team I was on, because I'd gained a lot of very deep knowledge and expertise in that area, as well as reputation and camaraderie with the other folks working in that area. I didn't want to make the situation more "difficult."

To get promoted at Google, several need to happen: 1. you need opportunities for ownership and leadership above your current level (basically, opportunities to show you're working at the next level you're trying to get promoted to). The work you're "assigned" has a big impact.

2. You need glowing reviews from peers, *at or particularly above the level you're hoping to get promoted to.* Basically, you need people a lot more senior than you to say you're doing awesome work.
