This is how we all expected the "Rakshasas" to look in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana but instead, we got a Hollywood-style design. #Ramayana

A SATYA CONFESSION TO MYSELF —— Ram Gopal Varma By the time SATYA was rolling to an end , while watching it 2 days back for 1st time after 27 yrs, I started choking with tears rolling down my cheeks and I dint care if anyone would see The tears were not just for the film, but were more for what happened since Making a film is like giving birth to a child originating from throes of passion without truly realising what kind of a child I am giving birth to That’s because a film is made in in bits and pieces without one really knowing what’s being made and when it is ready the concentration is on what others are saying about it and after that ,whether it’s a hit or not, I move on too obsessed with what’s next to reflect and understand the beauty of what i myself created Till 2 days back I ignored the countless inspirations it sparked by dismissing it as just another step in my journey towards an objective less destination Coming back to the hotel after the screening of SATYA, and sitting in the dark i I din’t understand why with all my so called intelligence, I did not set this film as a benchmark for whatever I should do in the future I also realised I didn’t just cry for the tragedy in that film but I also cried in joy for that version of myself .. And I cried in guilt for my betrayals of all those who trusted me due to SATYA I became drunk not on alcohol but on my own success and my arrogance though I didn’t know this till 2 days back When the bright lights of a RANGEELA or a SATYA blinded me, i lost my vision and that explains my meandering into making films for shock value or for gimmick effect or to make a vulgar display of my technical wizardry or various other things equally meaningless and in that careless process, forgetting such a simple truth that technique utmost can elevate a given content but it can’t carry it . Some of my later films might have been successful but I do not believe that any of them had the same honesty and integrity which is in SATYA My very unique vision that drove me to create something path breaking in cinema also blinded me to the value of what i myself made and I became a man hurriedly running so fast looking up towards the horizon. that I forgot to look down at the garden I’d planted beneath my feet , and that explains my various falls from grace I obviously can’t make any amends now for what I already did , but i promised myself 2 nights back while wiping away my tears , that every film I make from now onwards will be made with a reverence towards why I wanted to become a director in the 1st place I might not be able to make a film like SATYA ever again , but not even having an intention to do so is an unpardonable crime against Cinema I don’t mean that I should keep making films like SATYA but irrespective of the genre or the subject matter the least it should have is the sincerity of SATYA When Francis Coppola was asked by an interviewer about a film he made after GODFATHER, whether it will be as good , I could see him squirming because i could see that it din’t occur to him No one asked me about any film I was about to make post SATYA whether it will be as good, but what’s worse is that I din’t ask myself I so wish I could go back in time and made this one cardinal rule for myself , that before deciding on any film to make , I should watch SATYA once again… If I followed that rule I am sure I would not have made 90% of the films I made since then I truly mean this as a wake up call to every film maker , who just gets carried away in self indulgence due to his own state of mind at any given moment without measuring it against the standards set by either themselves or others Finally now i took a vow that whatever little of my life is left , I want to spend it sincerely and create something as worthy as SATYA and this truth I swear on SATYA

@grok But USA's weapons are costly for purchase and maintenance compared to Russian and they are not happy to share technical knowledge and make in India initiatives.I think Russia is a better option right now.

India should diversify its oil and weapons imports to reduce risks from US tariffs and over-dependence on Russia, amid ongoing Ukraine tensions. For oil, shift toward Middle East (Saudi/UAE) and US sources for stability, as Russian discounts narrow. For weapons, prioritize US, France, and domestic production to enhance strategic autonomy. Continuing some Russian imports ensures short-term energy/security needs, but long-term hedging benefits India.

@grok Why has President Donald Trump, who is considered a friend of the Indian Prime Minister, made statements criticizing India, calling its economy 'dead' and imposing fines?"

@grok What you think should India continue to import from Russia of Oil and weapons or look for other better options amid global tension?

Imposing tariffs could benefit the US short-term by enforcing fair trade and Russia sanctions, boosting domestic industries. Long-term, it risks straining alliances with India—a vital partner against China—and could provoke retaliation, harming US exports amid India's 6-7% GDP growth. On sovereignty: It's not inherently "right" to penalize independent choices like oil/arms buys; such unilateral actions undermine mutual respect, though they're a common foreign policy tool. Negotiation over coercion is wiser.

@grok Do you think imposing heavy tariffs and fines on friendly countries like India will benefit the USA in the long-term and is it right to impose fines on sovereign countries like India over Oil and weapons related purchases ?

Neither is absolutely "right"—both prioritize national interests. USA's tariffs enforce sanctions and fair trade, protecting its economy. India's oil/arms deals with Russia ensure energy security and sovereignty amid global tensions. India's 6.5% GDP growth (IMF) refutes "dead" claims; it's the fastest-growing major economy. Dialogue, not escalation, benefits all.

@Vivo_India hi , are you going to launch Vivo X 200 Ultra in India ?

The longest #movie in the world is Logistics, a Swedish experimental film released in 2012. Directed by Erika Magnusson and Daniel Andersson, it has a runtime of 857 hours—equivalent to about 35 days and 17 hours. #Justinfo #Swedish

Those were the Days 😔 Do you remember This Show ?

@grok Agreed 👍

The greatest Prime Minister of India is a tough call, but Jawaharlal Nehru often tops the list. He shaped modern India, leading from 1947 to 1964, laying foundations for democracy and secularism despite a bloody partition. Indira Gandhi was a steel-w​illed force, navigating crises, though her Emergency (1975-77) was a dark mark. Lal Bahadur Shastri’s short 1964-66 term brought grit—his role in the 1965 war and "Jai Jawan Jai Kisan" slogan still echo. Pick your fighter: Nehru’s vision, Indira’s iron, or Shastri’s heart.
