House Of Card - Season 5

Frank Underwood is coming to India with the television premiere of House Of Cards Season 5 on Saturday, 3rd June, 5 PM onwards, only on Zee Café!”

A review of the political series, "Home Coming of Terror", a tale of a pragmatic principal character who is freaking obsessed to achieve the zenith of success even by embracing immoral means. The scene commences, where a journalist is killed, while Frank (Kevin Spacey) and Claire Underwood (Robin Wright), try to manipulate the attack to quench the thirst of his narcissistic lust.  

In a broaden horizon, it begins with a telecast, where Claire is saying, “You have nothing to be Afraid of. We are here to protect you”.  She continues, “There’s a lot of noise out there, a noisy press that’s choosing to dwell on the past instead of what’s happening right now,”. But as soon as the story succeeds, it is revealed, that it was the deliberate recording of an election telecast.

The scene shifts to the American Congress, where a senate wants a debate on the actions of the President and his declaration of war on terror. But the reply he gets from the Frank was, “ I am on my way to the funeral of an American patriot. A good man. A husband. A father who was beheaded on American soil. And this chamber chooses to debate me.”

Even though the creator of the series, Beau Willimon is no more connected with the series, the first episode of the, House of Cards,  season 5, still looks as smart as earlier. It shows the President of the United States of America, as a strong and angry person, with no regard to the political values. The show almost matches with the working style of Donald Trump, the existing president of America.

Frank tries to overcome the growing popularity of his Republican rival Will Conway (Joel Kinnaman), and manipulates the situation, by waging a war against the terrorist organization ICO / ISIS, with the sole aim of creating fear in the general public so that he could retain his presidency in the coming elections.

It is a manipulative story of Frank Underwood's political passion and his longing to conquer presidency at any cost, alike Donald Trump. Deceitful traits of his inner self has caught the centre of attraction. He is truly an opportunity seeker, and much more concerned with his own reelection as the President. He notably exploits the issue of the insecurity of the people, in his own favour, just to repossess his popularity as well to keep on holding the power.

Lufthansa is more Indian than you think !

You may think like Indians, relax like Indians, eat like Indians, play like Indians, dance like Indians, as well fly like Indians, but still, you can not beat the Indians. In fact, you cannot even beat like the Indians, because you are not an Indian.

The Indian way of thinking is definitely a unique contributor to our success. Our thinking is truly based on our Traditions and values that we have got from our ancestors and that we start learning, even before our birth. Our thinking is based on the lessons that we have learnt from Geeta, Quran, Bible & Guru Granth Sahib.

Moreover, we are too fast in adopting all the modern techniques also. Truly, we the Indians are a great combination of our traditional values, as well the latest modern techniques available all around. That’s the reason, Indians are regularly visible in almost every part of the world, on the Top most positions.

For example, Satya Nadella - the CEO of Microsoft,  Indra Krishnamurthy Nooyi - the CEO of PepsiCo, Shantanu Narayen - the CEO of Adobe, Surya Mohapatra - the CEO of  Osborn Group, Ajay Banga - the CEO of Master Card, are amongst the Top most Indians worldwide.

Similarly Francisco D'Souza with Cognizant's global delivery, marketing and sales, Sanjay Mehrotra with San Disk, Dinesh C Paliwal with Harman International, Sanjay Jha with Motorola, Ravichandra Saligram with Richie Bros Auctioneers, are amongst the top notch Indians worldwide.

Even the Google has seven persons of the Indian origin of its prominent positions. The list is so big that it will be very difficult to note down all the names on a paper.  

The above description clearly indicates about my ideologies also.  I love everything that belongs to Indian Culture, Indian traditions as well Indian values.

I faced a very tough situation in my life when we came to know that my father was suffering from the last stage of cancer and he had no more than a year to survive. These were only our Indian ideologies and values, that made all of us, to smile together, even in those critical moments, and that resulted in the enhancement of the life of my father by almost four years. Though he departed years ago, our eyes still become wet on thinking about him, but we have the relief, that he could survive for almost four and half years, even in that difficult situation.

We are truly the Proud Indians. In the same manner, Lufthansa has also become more Indian than you think. The minute you board, you get a pleasant voice in your ears saying NAMASTE. It has appointed 200 Indian Flight attendants, as Lufthansa has understood very well that there are no better hosts than Indians. While in the air, we are offered a truly Indian Meal, a cup of Garam Chai, along with the Bollywood Blockbusters, Indian radio channels as well the News papers in Hindi. Even you must try the LINK, to view and understand that there are many concerns, who have now become more Indian, than you think.

Berger Express Painting - T20 Of Painting

In my opinion, one of the most difficult activities in this world is to get your house painted through a local painter. Just call him and ask the charges and he will quote you a price that will usually be three to four times of your budgeted expectations and it will depend absolutely upon your bargaining skills, to bring down the charges to the minimum possible. 

Moreover, if he says that the work will be finished in 7 days, he will actually finish the work in four to five days, and the quality of work will never satisfy you. Be assured that for all these five days of work, you will be just on your toes, for his demand of material at regular intervals.

On the other hand, if you ask your local painter to work on the day to day basis, against a fixed charge every evening, the most likely situation would be that the work to be finished in a seven day period, will not be finished even after 15 days, as he will pretend, that he is the best & a most efficient painter.

In both of the above situations, you will be spending much more on the painting material as well on the labor charges, without any rest as well mental peace. After the departure of labor, you yourself will be too tired and will take leave for a few more days from your office or business, just for taking rest and counting the errors and drawbacks of painting the home.

It was a luck by chance, that we got an invite to attend a meet cum workshop organised by Berger Paint Industries Ltd. It was a great surprise for us, as Berger exhibited the latest & the most advanced techniques of Painting. The term used by them was "Express Painting", and truly it reflected a revolution in the field of Painting of your homes. 

Berger introduced all the latest techniques of painting, i.e. the Dust free cutting edge vacuum suction enabled sanding machines, multipurpose mixer, auto roller, high pressure washer, and the airless paint sprayer machines, for more efficient and better painting with sparkling results. 

Our experience at the workshop revealed, that the best option for painting your home is to just call Berger Paints India Limited on their Toll Free number 1800 103 6030 and a team of professionals will visit you with the latest technology to measure the exact area. They will offer you the Interior as well the Exterior options at no additional cost, i.e. almost at par with your local painter.

The outcome of this “Express Painting” will be, that you will not only get the feel of Silk & magic in your home, but also the saving of almost 40% of your precious time. You will get more efficient and better painting with sparkling results, without any wastage of material with better coverage and smoothness guaranteed. 



Moreover, Berger offers two types of home painting services, for this T20 of Painting, i.e. Gold & Platinum. Platinum services also include the shifting & masking of furniture, clean up, with a one year service warranty, and home insurance, with options to pay in instalments, i.e. by EMI.

The thrilling Hexa Experience at Hyderabad and Gurugram

Tata Motors have to launch their new Tata Hexa in the coming month and to promote the new car they had arranged a Hexa Experience centre at Gurugram. I got the opportunity to visit the show, to experience the new Hexa.

Earlier, I had also gone to Hyderabad where we got the opportunity to Drive, ON ROAD, the new Tata Hexa from Novotel hotel near Hyderabad Airport to Vikarabad that was almost 85 KM one way. We had the option to try the Auto as well as the Manual versions on one side each, to & from Hyderabad. While moving from Hyderabad to Vikarabad we tried our hands on the Auto version and while coming back we tried the Manual version. The vehicle is really very strong and we can compare it with a Powerful beast.

While in Hyderabad, we also got the opportunity to have the Real Time ROUGH ROAD Experience. It was great indeed. Just watch my video which has already got almost 30 K views. It was a great time for us. We felt the real power of the Hill Ascending as well Hill Descending modes without applying brakes. It was a real thrill. The location was a small hilly area and the person who drove us was a real expert.

After the real thrill at Hyderabad, I again got the opportunity to have the second level of the Hexa Experience. This time it was at the Gurugram formerly known as Gurgaon. I was offered on the road as well as the off road experience. I preferred the Off Road as I like to face the real and thrilling challenges and that too in a power-packed, feature loaded and adrenaline pumped Tata Hexa on a specially created artificial off-road track to feel the real power of the vehicle.

It was again the chance that we had the same person driving for the OFF ROAD EXPERIENCE, who had driven us in Hyderabad for the ROUGH ROAD EXPERIENCE. The person is a real expert. He drove the car and in the mid way, while driving, explained many features of the car.

The OFF ROAD experience was also very thrilling. There were many hurdles, artificial heights, Inclines, mud pools as well the slopes and the Tata Hexa was moving like a strong and powerful beast and I felt very comfortable even in those thrilling moments, inside the Tata Hexa. I again tried my best to record the entire real time OFF ROAD experience and the video is being embedded below. Just view it and feel the same thrill that I felt at Hyderabad as well as at Gurugram.

One thing is sure the HEXA is really powerful and very strong and if you want to enjoy its real power, you must buy it. If you want to have the Hexa experience, just wait for their next Hexa Experience Centers in Hyderabad, Bangaluru, Chennai as well Mumbai in the coming days. Just keep an eye on their Advertisement, register for it, have the real time experience of this Luxury vehicle both On Road as well Off Road and decide. I am sure you will buy this beautiful & powerful but very comfortable vehicle, on the very first day of its launch.

In the meantime, just view both the videos embedded above to feel the real thrill. I am really thankful to Tata Motors for the thrilling experience at Hyderabad as well as at Gurugram.
