Fearless Girl Catches King Cobra with her bare hands

Which is the most misunderstood film of all time?

Stay(2005) hands down Stay (2005) The story is about a Psychiatrist by the name Sam (McGregor) who’s a substitute shrink for Henry (Gosling). He’s in a relationship with a prior patient of his Laila (Naomi). Henry tells Sam that he plans of committing suicide in 3 days. Thus starts Sam’s efforts to get Henry to drop the idea. Let’s stop for a bit here and jump down to the explanation of what the film was about. If you haven’t watched it, I suppose you should watch before reading. The Explanation There are two stories in the movie. I’ll call them "The Real" and "The Imagined". The Real Henry, his dad, mom and girlfriend are on the Brooklyn Bridge. Henry is driving the car. His car’s front tyre bursts and the car flips into a massive tumble and blows up. This is the start of the movie. Now cut to the end. Henry’s dad, mom and girlfriend are all dead. Henry is barely alive. There is a lady (by the name Elizabeth Levy) who says she was right beh...

What are the chances of Donald Trump's impeachment?

The Repo’s control the House by a wide margin; DT would have to do something WAY OUT OF LINE to get the 218 votes needed to pass Articles of Impeachment against him. Republicans currently have a majority of 247 seats in the House; the Democrats only 188. And remember, Impeachment is just the first half of this  megillah . He would still need to be convicted by 2/3 of the Senate (67 Senators.) The Democrats and Independents count for only 46 seats. More and more commentators are talking about the 25th Amendment as an option. There you would need the Vice-President and a majority of the Cabinet (15 seats) to remove the President. Nine votes total. Really, though, we are getting way ahead of ourselves here. You can’t impeach and convict a President just because you don’t like him. It would be better for Democrats to start organizing now to take back the House and Senate and then shut him down legislatively. AND do you really want Pence as the President. The guy is a relig...

Why are people upset about Trump’s Executive Order that bans travel for people from certain Muslim countries?

Obama did not ever place a ban on travel. He increased the vigor of the visa and refugee application process which slowed the flow of travel, but did  not  ban it. Trump (or Bannon) chose the countries included in this executive order. Neither Congress nor the Obama Administration helped craft this order. They created a list of countries that should have stringent vetting, not whose people should be barred from our country. Just because there was already a list intended for x doesn’t mean Trump didn’t  choose  it for y. Nobody of relevance to the issue at hand (ie. terrorism) helped in crafting this bill. If we’re worried about security, shouldn’t there be input from the  Dept. of Homeland Security ? In fact several former security officials have voiced their opinions against this bill, because of the damage it does to our relationships with local governments and moderate muslims in these regions. Without them, it gets a lot harder to fight an ideologi...

Do you think BJP will win in UP elections after a poll survey gave it a clear win?

‘May be’ BJP can win coming UP elections. I am saying ‘may be’ because it has chance but it won’t be easy. Also, it depends on lot of factor at run time. I wish BJP to win this election. However, as a ‘realist evaluator’ I find this is hard to happen. In this answer I am trying to analyze this based on facts and data only without mixing too much of my wish/opinions. Please consider below two tables. They speak a lot. 1) No Wave: Except 2014 Loksabha elections, BJP performed poorly in all elections recently (few years) in UP. 2014’s outstanding win in UP (72/80 seats win) was result of Modi wave. This Modi wave was created by Modi’s own popularity, his claimed good work in Gujarat, BJP’s organized efforts, Congress government’s bad governance, policy paralysis, scams, blasts, inflation etc. There is no such reason in UP elections now. 2) No Scams: Akhilesh government did not involve so far in any scams unlike UPA government during 2004-2014. His own popularity (not party’s)...
