The Minaret of Jam in western Afghanistan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is situated in a remote and largely inaccessible location next to the Hari River in the Shahrak District of Ghor Province of Afghanistan. Following the fall of the Republic, the Taliban began waving their flag from it.

Biodiversity vs. Virtual Reality

Yes, I am opinionated. So don’t take it personally. I just responded to a virtual landscape on a page with this comment. I don’t need a virtual moon dangling in my virtual living room with my virtual body, because I go outside all the time and sleep outside (at times because of being economically challenged or when there are no vacancies) looking at the moon and feeling the air and wind in my…

Aagman

A yuga has changed. So many years have passed by. My name still resides in the entirety of Bharatavarsha, now what you all call as Bharat that is India.

From the north, to the south, to the eastern and western coasts, I see every one of you sing my name, dance to my esoteric tunes, and breathe in this holy land which I have left thousands of years ago.

My birthday arrives once again. The rains have begun their downpour just like that night. It shall be a dark night once again, but less terrifying than the night I was born on.

I see you. You. Yes.

You look at my photos, at my painting, at the countless poetic verse singing praises about my stories, about my beauty, and my leela. You hum a few tunes. Your eyes close, and you see my dark form in front of you.

Something stirs your eyes awake. You wonder if it is really me or just an image your mind conjures from your countless memories of watching my artwork.

Everything is true. Everything is me.

I see, live, breathe beside you. Inside you. Around you.

You think you have gone too far now. You say I am a distant memory in your waking thoughts. There is silence around you. Your days are filled with tasks, and you no longer hear the tunes of my flute.

But, tell me the truth. Don't I still come in your thoughts be it only for a second?

What do I need? Love. It is simple. It isn't a chore, like you believe it to be. I am not your God. I am Love. I am a Lover. You are a Lover.

The silence pervades still, doesn't it. Close your eyes now. I mean it literally.

Breathe...

Hari bol bol bol krishna bol bol bol

Radha radhe hari krishna bol bol bol

In this silence, do I live still. The stillness is me. The distance is me. I am whole and I am nothing. Did you forget that. I am light and I am dark.

I was born on a very dark night. Night is quiet. At daybreak, my happy gurgles brought light to Gokul. I am here, with you, living silently, gazing at you.

I am here whenever you call me. Look at me and you shall find me. You do not have to find me.

Mere mann mein hari, mere tann mein hari

Kann kann mein hari, jeevan mein hari

When I am everywhere, why do you search for me and be desperate and break you heart?

Govind hare gopal hare

Shrinath hare, Hey mukund hare...

I hold the other side of the thread. I am the thread. I am the boat and the boatman, and I am the river.

Open your eyes.

Open it. Now.

There... you have found me.

I am yours.

Tagging: @jukti-torko-golpo (idk why and how it came to me to write this but i had to. well happy janmashtami didi. The night is magical) and every krishnasakhi who would need it. Happy Janmashtami to everyone.

A very detailed, positive "Beetlejuice" review.

Lots of info about what happens, so consider this packed with spoilers.

‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ Review: Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton Help Tim Burton Rediscover the Ghoulish Mischief of His Glory Days.

There’s an inventive sequence early in the unexpectedly delightful Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in which the Bee Gees’ “Tragedy” accompanies Monica Bellucci’s soul-sucking demoness as her hacked up body parts are shaken loose from crates in the afterlife’s lost-and-found warehouse, where she proceeds to stitch herself back together like a gorgeous DIY Frankenstein monster. That scene multitasks as a show of kinship with the same actor’s role as a vampire bride in Bram Stoker’s Dracula; a tribute from Tim Burton to a key Gothic literature inspiration; and a darkly delicious valentine to the director’s offscreen partner of the past two years.

One of many inspired set-pieces in a clever sequel laced with hilarious callbacks to the 1988 original and amusingly eclectic pop-culture references to everything from Carrie to Mario Bava, from Soul Train to Donna Summer, it’s not the only time during the movie that I scrawled, “Tim Burton’s back!” in my notes.

Any sequel coming 36 years after its predecessor is best approached with caution, this one especially so given that with the main exception of 2012’s Frankenweenie, Burton seemed to have misplaced his mojo somewhere around the turn of the new century — at least for this critic.

Tapping into the maniacally playful spirit of one of his enduring golden-era hits, the director seems reinvigorated. He serves up comparable tonic as well for two actors who were a big part not just of the original Beetlejuice but also of Burton’s Batman movies and Edward Scissorhands: Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, respectively. The name in the credits of a second Batman Returns alum is no secret, but that actor’s droll extended cameo merits spoiler treatment.

Hollywood’s cynical strip-mining of successful IP in its quest for the everlasting franchise has taught us to be suspicious, so there’s something restorative for the audience, too, in experiencing a resuscitated screen property that’s actually fun — not to mention one that asserts its own reason to exist.

I sparked up and began to realize I was in good hands as soon as the spooky echo of Summer’s disco “MacArthur Park” cover segued to the first notes of a score by Danny Elfman, which starts in ominous mode and grows more devilishly jaunty as ace DP Haris Zambarloukos’ camera cruises through the sleepy town of Winter River and arrives at the hilltop haunted house purchased by the Deetz family in Beetlejuice.

Warner Bros. has been trying on and off to make a sequel happen since the early ’90s, most notably after the studio in 2011 hired Seth Grahame-Smith, who shares story credit here with screenwriters Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. Burton’s success pulling off such a zesty follow-up after so many years on the shelf is due as much to those writers, with whom he worked on Netflix’s Wednesday. That series’ star, Jenna Ortega, is chief among welcome new additions to the holdover crew of Keaton, Ryder, Catherine O’Hara and shrunken-headed Bob.

Still wearing the jagged black bangs she rocked as a goth teen, Ryder’s Lydia Deetz is now a widowed mother famous for hosting a reality show called Ghost House, where from a studio attic set she invites viewers to “Come in, if you dare.” Mimicking the formula of countless paranormal shows, Lydia coaxes guests to share chilling experiences of unexplained phenomena in their homes. But a triggering vision of Keaton’s Beetlejuice sitting among the studio audience reveals that the psychic mediator has not put her own haunted past behind her.

Lydia has a strained relationship with her teenage daughter, Astrid (Ortega), who resents her mother spending more time with the dead than with her own daughter and chafes at her disinclination to talk about her late father, Richard (Santiago Cabrera). He perished in an accident in the Amazon, and while Astrid thinks her mom’s supernatural insights are hokum, she petulantly gripes that Richard is the one ghost with whom she can’t communicate.

ensions between Lydia and her artist stepmother Delia (O’Hara) have eased over the years, despite the latter becoming even more self-absorbed in her shift from sculpture into mixed media. Her latest show is called The Human Canvas, and that canvas of course is Delia’s face and body.

The writers find a crafty solution to the awkward question of what to do about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Jones, who played Lydia’s father, Charles. In a spry Claymation sequence that’s classic Burton, we learn of Charles’ recent gruesome death — though naturally in the Beetlejuice world, death is more a pitstop than a destination, so the character lingers even if his original physical form is erased.

Barbara and Adam Maitland, the sweet, prematurely deceased couple played by Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin, are gone, however, as Lydia explains they’ve found a loophole. “How convenient,” scoffs Astrid, with a wink from the writers.

Charles’ funeral — whimsically accompanied by a boys choir singing a hymnal version of Harry Belafonte’s “Day-O,” another lovely callback — brings the family back to Winter River. Accompanying them is Lydia’s producer and soon-to-be fiancé, Rory (Justin Theroux), whose ridiculous tiny ponytail tags him as a phony, and whose “New Age, over-bonding, yoga-retreat bullshit” Astrid finds beneath contempt.

Wrapping the entire house, Christo-style, in black gauze, Delia sets about making her performative grief into a project dubbed The Art of Sorrow, while Rory seizes on Charles’ wake as the ideal time to propose to Lydia, who’s sufficiently caught off-guard to accept. Astrid’s disgust sends her speeding off into town, where she meets Jeremy (Arthur Conti), a fellow Dostoevsky fan and cool analog guy; they plan a date for Halloween night, when her mother’s “Witching Hour” wedding is scheduled.

While all this is going on, Bellucci’s Delores is terrorizing the netherworld, killing denizens “dead-dead” on her mission to claim the rotten soul of her husband, Beetlejuice. In a riotous touch that got huge laughs at the Venice press screening, their short-lived ghost marriage is recapped as a black-and-white, subtitled Italian mini-movie. Investigating Delores’ trail of destruction is Wolf Jackson (Willem Dafoe), a former TV action star now playing detective, with lots of cheesy direct-to-camera glances for dramatic emphasis.

The living (or “fleshbags,” as Jackson calls them) and the dead get tangled up when Astrid is tricked into a potentially fatal pact and Lydia is forced to summon Beetlejuice to help her cross over and save her daughter. Given that Beetlejuice doesn’t believe in free favors, an alternative wedding plan emerges to rescue him from Delores, a nightmarish scenario in which Lydia’s familiarity with the predatory sandworms of the afterlife’s exile desertscape comes in handy.

The zippy pacing, buoyant energy and steady stream of laugh-out-loud moments hint at the joy Burton appears to have found in revisiting this world, and for anyone who loved the first movie, it’s contagious. That applies also to the actors, all of whom warm to the dizzying lunacy.

The double-barrel title might suggest this is Keaton’s show, and he gets an ample share of antic opportunities — looking as moldy and slobby as ever and crawling with cockroaches — but he never crowds out anyone else in the strong ensemble.

is most exhilarating sequences include a stint as a trickster couples counselor when Rory decides Lydia needs to face “this construct of your trauma.” (The uproarious birth of a diabolical baby Beetlejuice during that scene yields one of animatronics chief Neal Scanlan’s most brilliant creations.)

If the use of Belafonte’s “Day-O” was a memorable high point of Beetlejuice, what the filmmakers and Keaton do with “MacArthur Park” in a wedding-from-hell climax takes the possessed lip-syncing and dance moves several steps further. The wedding cake with “sweet green icing flowing down” is a jubilant celebration of some of the daffiest lyrics ever set to music. And the fate of an assembly of cellphone-clutching influencers gathered in the church by Rory (“Nothing less than 5 million followers”) will bring bliss to anyone who ever rolled their eyes about that “career” path.

Ryder goes beat for beat with Keaton as the yin of the movie to his rancidly irreverant yang. The actress transports us back to the enchanting screen persona of her late teens, not just in Beetlejuice but also in movies like Edward Scissorhands, Mermaids and Heathers, in which she radiated a singular mix of smarts, sweetness and innocence but was just as effective when she veered into darkness. As much as anything, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a poignant mother-daughter story, played with real heart by both Ryder and Ortega.

The movie’s pleasures extend to Zambarloukos’ dynamic visuals and Elfman’s score, which has all the qualities of his collaborative peak with Burton plus distinctive new flavors. Another frequent collaborator, costume designer Colleen Atwood, does striking work for characters on both sides of the mortality divide, while production designer Mark Scruton has a ball creating a whole new network of afterlife antechambers, admin offices and departure terminals.

CG work is no doubt extensive but one of the sequel’s charms is how much its physical sets, puppetry and phantasmagoria stick to a hand-crafted look in line with the far more limited effects tools available in the late ’80s. It’s rewarding to have Burton back in full creative command of the humor, the fantastical imagination and the gleeful morbidity on which he built his name.

Memberi Dampak

Seringkali muncul pertanyaan sederhana tapi berat "Apa dampak yang kamu berikan?"

Ya, dampak ini adalah soal pengaruh. Dia tidak perlu terlalu besar atau rumit, sederhana tapi kecil itu sudah luar biasa.

Dampak, sebagaimana saya ikut sebuah pelatihan yang saat itu disampaikan oleh Bang Ivan Ahda, punya makna adanya 'perubahan' dan yang paling penting adalah 'improvment atau peningkatan'

Maka, pertanyaan "apa dampak yang kamu berikan, bermakna, keberadaanmu itu apakah membawa perubahan dan peningkatan atau sebaliknya?"

Mengapa ini penting untuk dibahas? Karena hari ini kita hidup dalam dunia yang penuh glorifikasi berlebihan dan terkadang semu; walaupun tidak semuanya seperti itu.

Orang-orang hanya menghargai jika yang berbicara adalah akun centang biru, yang dilakukan hal-hal besar dan rumit, atau ya yang terlihat keren saja; tapi saat ditelisik lebih dalam, ternyata cuma gimmick tanpa adanya dampak disana

Lebih lanjut soal dampak atau kerennya adalah impact, sebenernya adalah level yang perlu kita definisikan, supaya juga tidak bingung; dampak kita itu mau sampai dimana levelnya, ada macro, micro, sampe meso *klo kepo kita diskusi

Nah, untuk mencapai sebuah dampak, selain level, kita bisa memulai dari cara berfikir (system thinking), dan mungkin ini yang kadang terlewat atau terabaikan; yang penting, yang butuh kelihatan hal-hal besar atau rumit, padahal tadi cukup hal sederhana atau bahkan kecil, tapi mengandung dua hal perubahan dan peningkatan

Ya, soal cara berfikir ini, banyak toolsnya, tapi di pelatihan itu saya diajari dengan menggunakan TOC (Theory of Change) atau juga bisa menggunakan system Iceberg Phenomena *klo kepo juga kita diskusi

Yak, sudah panjang, dan gak lama nulis tema beginian, mungkin kalau nanti ada niat lebih dalam bakal lebih rapih sekaligus ada contoh penerapannya; entah di wordpress atau postingan IG, sekian

Oh ya kalian tau, Syaikh Ahmad Yasin, tokoh dari Palestina yang dibunuh harus dengan Apache padahal beliau hanya seorang kakek tua yang duduk di kursi roda, telah menciptakan impact untuk hari ini; sederhana saja, beliau membina generasi saat itu dengan Al Quran, hanya dengan Al Quran, sederhana dan bahkan disepelekan tapi begitulah dampak, yang terpenting ada perubahan dan peningkatan

Al Fatihah untuk beliau, kita doakan selalu saudara kita di Palestina, from river to the sea, Palestine will be free

[janaknandini-singh999]

Modern day Lord Ram (girl version)

Part 1

Janeshvari smiled at what she held tightly in her palms and turned around to the person who'd given it to her.

Harini smiled back and mouthed "I'm sorry I had nothing more to give you. But it is with all my affection. I love you."

Janeshvari felt her heart burst and the red rushing to her cheeks so much she turned back around and looked at the tiny thing and put it in her finger happily. It was a paper ring with a smiley sun drawn on it. Harini had a matching one with the crescent on it.

"Class! Take your test papers back." Suddenly the teacher emerged in the class and raised her hand to demand attention. "As usual, Janeshvari has achieved the highest. A perfect 100, with Harini closely trailing behind with a 97. This has only been possible as they have been the most sincere students in class. You all need to learn something from them."

Everyone groaned and Janeshvari chuckled, turning again to look at Harini, suddenly inhaling sharply at what she saw. Harini had come to her desk and was bowing to her.

Janeshvari blushed and looked around uneasily "Not in front of everyone, Hari-"

Harini looked back up with a determined gaze which made Janeshvari laugh, despite herself. One thing about her was that she was a radiant girl, you would always find her smiling but she never laughed out loud much. So it was one of those rare times Janeshvari laughed heartily and it was the sweetest melody which made everyone around sigh and swoon. It was the sound of a peaceful river flowing and immersing itself into the sea.

Harini had once used the line "if I could've bottled the sound of your laughter and gotten drunk on it every night, I would've." on her.

Janeshvari had raised her eyebrows on that, mildly amused at the outright confession of feelings but more at the choice of words "But if you say so, I will laugh for you every time. You don't need to trap my voice, you know?"

Harini had frowned, pursing her lips "No, that's not what I-"

Janeshvari had tilted her head "Hmm?"

Harini then had shaken her head, sighing "Forget it."

Janeshvari had laughed louder on seeing her face like that and kissed her nose "I got it, honey! I was just messing with you."

Harini had raised her eyebrows this time, wrapping her arms around Janeshvari "Oh my, messing around? I forced trickery out of such a somber, honourable creature like YOU?! Dear God, what crime have I committed-" kissing her back.

Janeshvari just laughed slowly right now again in class, piquing Harini's curiosity.

"It's just that," Janeshvari articulated "I was wondering that if I were a man then this - whatever you're doing - would be called misogyny on my part."

Harini put her finger on her chin, thinking aloud "But all this is because I deeply respect and love you, and you do the same for me. What has that got to do anything with gender?"

Janeshvari merely shrugged "I'm not really sure abut that either." then smiling widely again, took Harini's hand and ran outside as the interval bell rang.

"JANI, DIDI!" a kid's voice echoed as he ran across to Janeshvari and hugged her tightly.

"Chiru! What are you doing here?!" Janeshvari spoke excitedly.

Chiranjeevi was a slum kid but surprisingly strong for a child. He had been the local saviour, protecting other kids from bullies after Janeshvari had saved him from some when he was younger. It had become his mission to save and serve now as he had experienced the unconditional warmth from her.

"I MADE something FOR YOU!" Chiranjeevi poked out something from his little hands "with the help of Hari di hehe." pointing at Harini, who quietly grinned and winked at him.

It was a handmade bracelet of beads with cute cartoon monkey figures dangling from them. "TA-DAA!" Chiranjeevi raised his own hand to reveal a matching bracelet but with tiny, golden bows dangling instead. It was supposed to represent Janeshvari as she was an exceptional archer.

"Is it my birthday or friendship day or something that I don't know about?!! This sudden shower of sweet gestures?"

"We don't need a special day to celebrate your blessed presence in our lives." Harini beamed, Chiranjeevi nodding aggressively at that.

"It's absolutely adorable." Janeshvari grazed her fingers across the bracelet "I love it!" and kissed Chiranjeevi's forehead who fell backwards with a blush and "AAAHH!"

A boy rushed just in time to catch him, chuckling "He so has a crush on you, didi!"

Chiranjeevi immediately shot up off the boy's arms, bursting forth with an angry expression "Crush is such an INHUMAN, DEGRADING term for the VAST DEVOTION I HAVE FOR JANESHVARI DIII!" then turning to her with moistening eyes, he whispered "Pinky promise.. GOD PROMISE that I will be yours forevaaa!" and offered his pinky finger very seriously. Janeshvari smiled and shook it with hers "I accept your love and so grateful for it. I shall love you always too!"

"Guys, hello? What about me??? I love my sister too!" The boy had popped up with plates. "I'm not that creative to make gifts so easily but I have brought the elixir of life! FOOD!"

Everyone laughed, Janeshvari beckoning him "Of course! Come here, Sheshu!" and Shesh, her younger brother ran towards them, giggling and joined in the group hug "My most favourite three people in the world! If I'm to be remembered ever in the future, I want you three to always be with me." whispered a teary Janeshvari, Chiranjeevi immediately started sobbing with her, hugging her more fiercely.
