I was watching Nawazuddin’s interview online in which he was speaking passionately about his movie Raman Raghav 2.0. He expected the movie to do well. However the interviewer was bemused, as the dark movie showed killing of a young child and how can you expect such a dark movie to do well with Indian audiences! …
I don’t know how many of you were dragged to your cousins’ marriages. As a child, those were the things I hated the most. To attend a wedding where you don’t know anyone, and just need to be present since it’s a must. I still don’t get it; why should a child attend a marriage …
In ancient times, amidst the tales of Sri Krishna’s era, there existed Poundrik Vasudev, known as the “Alternate Vasudev,” a master of deception. Poundrik ruled over Pundra and donned the crown of Kashi, employing an “alternate Sudharshan Chakra” and other clever ruses to maintain his false divine authority. His cunning schemes even ensnared the King of Kashi and others who were skeptical of Sri Krishna. However, Poundrik’s deceit eventually unraveled in a confrontation with the real Sri Krishna, leading to his downfall.
The story of Poundrik serves as a stark reminder that even in antiquity, skilled deceivers could manipulate and mislead. This cautionary tale finds resonance in contemporary society, where modern-day figures, akin to Poundrik, continue to deceive people with false claims of divinity or authority. The parallels between ancient deception and modern-day imposters underscore the timeless human tendency to be drawn to illusions and the struggle to discern truth from falsehood.
