The trailer of The Glassworker is here!

youtube

This is the frst ever Pakistani hand-drawn anime movie. And it looks so good! Very excited to watch it :D

Since it's a local movie, I can't wait for this to be the first thing I watch on the big screen!

#the glassworker #will be released in both english and Urdu #i hope it would be available internationally but for now we just know it'll be played in cinemas here #all local artist my beloved #anime #anime movie #the visuals.. so good #and some good fucking representation finally #this looks like it's based on Indian subcontinent's history too #i can taste the anti colonialism narrative #Youtube #the only thing whichbothers me a slight bit is character using jinn's power. that's kinda wrong.#not sure how they'll sneak in that bit of lore and adjyst it so it doesn't feel like ... That (dunno how to explain iykyk)#i do like how he described the traits of jinns so well #that sand drawn isn't what they look like but they shapeshift so it doesn't matter

Been trying to send 40GB of photos to my brother for like an entire week and it only worked when I promised on Bheem’s ass. NOT A COINCIDENCE!!!!

#insane that Komoram Bheem was a real human being who worked tirelessly to liberate Telangana from the British imperial police state #like he actually made genuinely heroic contributions to the fabric of history #and I’m invoking his name because a nepo baby actor has a nice butt lmfao #what is wrong with me #….#Indian cinema fanboy things

SOUTH INDIAN TEMPLES--GOPURAM BLOG

Ancient and early medieval temples feature smaller gopuram, while in later temples they are a prominent feature of Hindu Dravidian style; in many cases the temple compound was expanded and new larger gopuram built along the new boundary. They are topped by the kalasam, a bulbous stone finial. They function as gateways through the walls that surround the temple complex. Another towering structure located towards the center of the temple is the Vimanam. Both of them are designed and constructed as per rules given in the texts of Vaastu shastra.

The gopuram's origins can be traced back to early structures of the Pallava kings, and relate to the central shikhara towers of North India. Between the twelfth and sixteenth century, during the Pandya, Nayaka and Vijayanagara era when Hindu temples increasingly became a hub of the urban life, these gateways became a dominant feature of a temple's outer appearance, eventually overshadowing the inner sanctuary which became obscured from view by the gopuram's colossal size and courtyards.[5] It also dominated the inner sanctum in amount of ornamentation. Often a shrine has more than one gopuram.[1] They also appear in architecture outside India, especially Khmer architecture, as at Angkor Wat.

Here are some of my pictures i had clicked and these structures were built far before..in BC period.

OUR GOOD OLD SCHOOL SONGS

HELLO THERE!!

I am here to write on Indian norms and believes and my ideas on them. Mind you i will never say that it's wrong or not ,i will just try to analyze it.

Today, I will be talking about those old school songs you sing in school assembly. That's right I am talking about songs like "tum ram kaho, ve rahim kahe" or "haar desh ma tu , haar bhesh ma tu, tera naam annek tu ek hi hai". Now if you think logically , that's a bizarre thing to sing that hindu and muslim gods are the same. If you study sociology just till class 11th NCERT textbooks, it says in chapter 4 'culture and tradition' each culture (here in religious aspect) cann't be similar to each other . One culture opposes the idea other cultures follow. But the song which we sing in our school assembly literally says that Hindu , Muslims, Christian, Parsee (etc) are all same and what hindus call ram is allah to muslims .

One theory can be that these songs were written during the non-cooperation movement, it was sung to bring hindu and muslims together and fight as one. But if you look for evidences about when were these songs written ,there is no strong evidence to say that it was written around 1924. The argument still continues that why are every other school songs in india talking about how all gods are one and all religion are one. Some people may also say that it's just a metaphor when they say that all gods are one ...if so do explain why do they call our worship places same ??

In the end i would like to state that this song "tum ram kaho, ve rahim kahe ,dono ki tallaj allah se hai' was first sung in 1961 from were it got popular and now we sing it in every school of India , putting up a theory that this song maybe concerted as a metaphor for some but in reality it just pushes young Indian minds aka. children to believe that YES we all live here together , YES we all are same , YES WE ALL ARE equal.

SO, next time you heard this song REMEMBER it's not just a song , it's a social order exercised on us and you may think that no it doesn't effect me but maybe not you but some where , some one is effected by this song and is tiring to make India a country as depicted in this song.

JAI HIND

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HELLO EVERYONE AGAIN!!

Recently , sociology has fantasized me a lot so I decided to study it on my own. I am still a amature so please don't jump on me. This argument i must say is a chaos but it kinda conveys what i am trying to say .

English is not my first language and trust me language is not my strong side so again please don't jump on me. And to all those who wish to criticize me my chat is open for you guys , also if anyone have a question or a doubt or a suggestion (to add in here , for a topic you guys want me to write upon , a topic you want to discuss, etc) please use the chat ,it's open for you guys as well and it need not to be a sociological topic ,can be anything (when i say anything ,it means anything)

And to all those comrades of mine who are stuck with hindi, this glossary is specially for you<<3

tum ram kaho, ve rahim kahe ,dono ki tallaj allah se hai - you call him ram ,they call him rahim , but both are calling for allah( i did it myself so ya it's not accurate but you can get the gist )

haar desh ma tu , haar bhesh ma tu ,tera naam aneek, tu ek hi hai-you are in every country ,you are in every form ,you may have different names but you are one JUST ONE.

At last i would like to thank all of you who read this . I will see you guys again.

Books on Indian Cinema | Cinema India by Ritwik Ghatak (1982) was prepared for the Cinema India programme at the National Film Theatre in London, under the aegis of the Festival of India 1982.

Ritwik Ghatak was a Bengali filmmaker and one of the pioneers of parallel cinema in India. He is known for his unique and innovative approach to filmmaking, which explored themes of migration, displacement, and cultural identity. His films often depicted the struggles of ordinary people and the harsh realities of life in post-partition India.

Ghatak's most famous films include "Meghe Dhaka Tara" (The Cloud-Capped Star), "Komol Gandhar" (E-Flat), and "Subarnarekha" (The Golden Thread). These films are characterized by their strong social and political commentary, use of non-professional actors, and poetic and lyrical storytelling.

Found this gem from my grandma's book collection.

Tamil actors play a pivotal role in Indian cinema, contributing to its rich diversity and helping it reach new heights. With legends like Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan leading the way, and a new generation of talented actors like Vijay and Suriya making their mark, the future of Tamil cinema looks bright.

RRR-induced mania is so real, you guys. I’ve fuckin lost 17 pounds* since seeing this movie! It makes me want to hike and run and engage more mindfully with food. It gives me so much energy and happiness! I don’t know what kind of healing magic Rajamouli wove into this movie, but it is SO POWERFUL.

All I want is to do squats with my wife on my shoulders tbqh.

#*I’ve been obese for years and 17 pounds is not a large fraction of my body weight #my doctor and all my loved ones have observed my weight loss and agree it is improving my health #I have no history of restricting food or over-dieting so this kind of weight loss is safe for me. your mileage may vary #rrr my beloved #hag life #Indian cinema fanboy things
