This is another must watch
movie, a rather accurate take on Mars, the 3D impact makes it amazing. It is a
must watch for school/college students, the emphasis on logic, laws of physics
so on is important way of dealing situations, the basis of development and
progress. The kind of nonsense that keeps happening around, and the usual bunch
of manipulators, market slickness, traditions, perceptions…general
deteriorations. Not that this was an ideal society in any way, far from it, I am
doing a comparison with other countries and matters related to pursuit of excellence
so on. Watching Martian was an exhilarating experience. It is an assertion of
faith in humanity and possibilities herein. It also reiterates how precious planet
Earth is!!
People involved in these amazing pursuits
cannot be frogs in the well –that distinguishes oneself in pits of crude traditions
and primitive ideas. These degradations are
contexts of people who mindlessly follow or do minor/incremental changes…the
one ISRO does, efficiently so. The reason why the former ISRO head (also accused of corruption charges)
dunks in casteist pits while another one expertise in voodoo acts…to make it hilarious
these dimwits have problem with each other! These are “scientists” of this
godforsaken society (long time back, I recall, many ISRO “scientists” participated in rituals
to propitiate gods to give them sons!!). New challenges need path breaking
innovations and ideas, which undoubtedly is product of mindset and attitude
that seeks to challenge existing notions. It is not providence nor is it a
blessing from god-knows-where (and the slick sentiment seekers and profiteers
herein). Logic is not a piecemeal thing nor is it a useable entity, it is a
way of thinking and an attitude. It creates and sustains tradition of excellence. People who live in entitled
world (and crude framework that sustains these) have much to thank for their position, than calibre, hence these
nonsenses. In the harshness of reality it is not the propitiating that counts but
logic and application of mind. For application of mind, reading and learning is
important not blessing before exams or launching of a satellite. They have reduced learning to some kind of ritual and not as a way to understand, know and question.
Post script: Monday morning show is the best time to watch movies,
no crowd, no crap, it’s almost like a private screening, and its cheap too…ah the
charm of it.
