Demon Slayer 2 was a great hit among anime fans, and since the day it ended, the fans waiting for the next season. Season 2 had all the elements of a great show, high-octane action sequences, top-class animation, story, script, and thrill.

Cobra Kai is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated and revered series on Netflix. Cobra Kai has only grown its fan base and audience with each season. This also started a trend of creating TV series after successful movie franchises, like the recently released “Rings of Power” after “The Lord of The Rings”.  This show is about martial arts, fights, conspiracies, and friendship, and these traits are in all seasons. Netflix is out with Cobra Kai Season 5 now, and I am very excited to talk about it.

2009 में जब पहली बार अवतार आया तो इसने बॉक्स ऑफिस के सारे रिकॉर्ड तोड़ दिए। अवतार लगभग एक दशक तक सबसे ज्यादा कमाई करने वाली फिल्मों में से एक थी। अवतार ने इसके निर्देशक जेम्स कैमरन को एक घरेलू नाम बना दिया। वीएफएक्स, ग्राफिक्स और तकनीक का ऐसा इस्तेमाल हमने किसी और फिल्म में नहीं देखा। अपनी रिलीज़ के 13 साल बाद भी, यह दृश्य और सिनेमैटोग्राफी के मामले में अभी भी सर्वश्रेष्ठ फिल्मों में से एक है। अब, डेविड कैमरन पांच-फिल्म श्रृंखला, अवतार: द वे ऑफ वॉटर की दूसरी किस्त के साथ वापस आ गए हैं। लेकिन क्या वह अपने द्वारा बनाए गए प्रचार और उम्मीदों पर खरा उतर सका? चलो पता करते हैं।

When Avatar first came in 2009, it broke all box office records. Avatar was one of the highest-ever grossing movies for nearly a decade. Avatar made its director James Cameron a household name. We have never seen similar use of VFX, graphics, and tech in any other movies. Even after 13 years of its release, it is still one of the best movies in terms of visuals and cinematography. Now, David Cameron is back with the 2nd installment of the five-movie series, Avatar: The Way of Water. But could he live up to the hype and expectations he created? Let’s find out.

रामायण केवल बुराई पर अच्छाई या अधर्म पर धर्म की जीत की कहानी नहीं है, बल्कि एक सुखी और समृद्ध जीवन के लिए एक संपूर्ण मार्गदर्शक है। रामायण से सीखने के लिए अनगिनत सबक हैं, खासकर सर्वशक्तिमान राम से। पूरे भारत में और भारत के बाहर उनकी पूजा की जाती है। उनकी नैतिकता, शिक्षा, समर्पण और रावण के साथ युद्ध आज भी सबसे आकर्षक कहानियों में से एक है। जबकि हम सभी सर्वशक्तिमान राम के लगभग हर पहलू के बारे में जानते हैं, हम शायद रावण के बारे में इतना नहीं जानते होंगे, सिवाय इसके कि वह एक उच्च शिक्षित और विद्वान असुर था जिसके भीतर कई विशिष्ट दोष थे। रावण के प्रति आकर्षण आज बेमिसाल है और कई बुद्धिजीवियों और लेखकों ने रामायण को रावण के नजरिए से बताने की कोशिश की। आनंद नीलकंठन ने "असुर: टेल ऑफ़ द विनक्विस्ड" में भी अपनी कहानी को फिर से बताने की कोशिश की।

The fascination with Ravana is unmatched today, and several intellectuals and authors tried to tell the Ramayana from Ravana’s perspective. Anand Neelakantan also tried to retell his story in “Asura: Tale of the Vanquished.” The author created a world of Asuras, who were indigenous people of India. They were black and living in a free society where everyone had equal opportunity to rise. Men and women competed with each other equally and followed the way of Dharma. There was a continuous tussle between followers of Shiva, who were indigenous people of India, and followers of Vishnu, the Devas’ who were foreigners. Devas’ wanted to conquer India, but the Asura army was a big thorn in their path. Ravana was an over-ambitious person, who decided to take back everything which was taken from Asura. He learned everything from the old king Mahabali, and gradually started his long journey to glory.

We have several books on heroes who fought in these wars and showed extreme acts of bravery and velour. But these wars were not the only times our heroes showed the metal they were made of. Our consistent struggle with neighbors introduced us to many more heroes to be proud of. Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh tried to tell a few stories of these modern-time heroes in their first book from the franchise, “India’s Most Fearless”.

The Indian Army is known as one of the most battle-hardened armies. We have participated in World Wars, UN Peace Keeping Mission, and multiple all-out wars against our neighbors.
