A film based on a story of revenge.
A cold-hearted film based on vengeance. This winter, watch “The Revenant” played by Leonardo DiCaprio as Hugh Glass. Personally, I like the scene where Hugh fought with a bear.
156 mins. of an uninterrupted freezing thriller movie. In the plot, it showed how to survive with an instinct? How to earn the respect in life? The movie plotted on America in the 1820’s. Fight between the Red Indians and European migrants.
A huntsman named Hugh Glass sets out on a path of vengeance against his own people who left him behind for dead after a bear mauling. John Fitzgerald (played by Tom Hardy) is a stalker who was running for his life by fraud and lies. John murdered Hugh’s son who was a half European, born of a Red Indian mother.
The skin color issue, hatred and revenge. Overall the film is very fictitious as Hugh didn’t die in dangerous life and death situations and finally able to take the revenge. A must watch film.

Beautiful Plantain Flower: A Perfect Cone.
Photo: Plantain flower from our garden.
Today morning my father found this beautiful plantain flower at our garden. Food for thought, my father brought it at home to show us. He said “I found this small plantain flower with six raw bananas.” Raw bananas will grow, so he cut the flower and brought it to show me and my mother. We were surprised to see the beauty of the small plantain flower.
“What a nice geometrical shape?” My mother said. “A perfect cone.” She asked me to take a picture.
The lesson is how nature creates beautiful artistic shapes? The true art sometime we can see, if we try to find them differently.
Wish all a happy and wonderful Christmas and a brightest new year ahead!
Always love!

How wind energy can play a significant role in rural electrification?
Rural areas in India are electrified non-uniformly, where rising states being able to provide a preponderance of the villages with Green Energy while other states still struggling to do so. The Rural Electrification Corporation Limited was formed to specifically address the issue of providing electricity in all the villages across the nation. Poverty, lack of resources, lack of administrative will, poor planning and electricity theft are some of the major causes which have left many villages in India without electricity while urban areas have enjoyed growth in electricity consumption and capacity. According to the Pradhan Mantri Gram Vidyut Yojana is increasingly trying to improve the dire conditions by investing heavily in biogas, solar and wind energy.
Develop an eco-friendly environment is the hardest commitment which is in progress for diminishing wastage, implement better equipment and improve the overall infrastructure for electrical transmissions in villages. Currently, more than 85% of villages in India have been electrified with a further goal of providing complete electrification by 2020.
According to the “Installed capacity of wind power projects in India” report published on 31 March 2015 Tamil Nadu generating a capacity of 7455.2 MW energy from the Wind. Then Gujarat 3645.4 MW, Maharashtra 4450.8MW followed by Rajasthan 3307.2MW, Karnataka 2638.4MW, Andhra Pradesh 1031.4MW and Madhya Pradesh 879.7MW.
Wind Energy is pure #GreenEnergy
United Nations Paris Climate Conference in the month of November 2015 was a successful conference in the world history in the past century. Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has made all the Indian proud by his leadership, where India played a “critical role” at the climate change summit in Paris which ensured the event was a “historic success.” The world leaders gave a big hand to Prime Minister Modi’s speech and many of them want to invest in India to produce more Green Energy. Now the time has come to act.
In India, we are not utilizing Green Energy like Solar, Wind, Hydro energy at its best level. Wind power is the conversion of wind speed using the wind turbines into useful electricity or mechanical energy. India needs a large number of wind farms typically connected to the rural areas. A wind energy firm is capable of powering any large appliances to entire houses depending on the size. Wind farms installed on agricultural land have the lowest environmental impacts of all energy sources. The wind energy is truly and 100% #GreenEnergy source.
Windergy India:
Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association has launched Windergy India – is slated to be the voice of the Wind Energy industry.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has set ambitious targets for the Wind Energy sector. As the sector aims to reach 60,000 MW capacities, it needs the support of the government.
Windergy India aims to create wider public awareness on the benefits of wind energy, and the sectors efforts in India. Its mission to develop recommendation for Wind Energy among the general public.
Towards this, they have set up their presence on social media platforms. They are also developing a website, and working on a series of campaigns to help spread awareness about the benefits of wind energy as a viable solution to India’s energy crisis and its impact on global warming and climate change.

Organic Farming in Basirhat, West Bengal!
In West Bengal district North Twenty Four Parganas, Basirhat is a municipality town. This place is getting popular for its organic farms. Basirhat is situated in the delta by the coast of Bay of Bengal which is the part of Indian Ocean.
What farmers are doing at Basirhat?
You will be surprised to know that Basirhat farmers are farming using organic fertilisers.
Basirhat farmers do not have formal education on agriculture. They inherit the farming knowledge from their ancestors. These farmers grow vegetables, rice, fruits and business crops. The surprising part is their wonderful understanding of the local loamy soil and its fertilising capacity.
In the late 80’s most of them were cultivating one portion with chemical fertilisers another with organic fertilisers. Between 1990’s t0 2000’s they allowed chemical pesticides and found critical damage in the soil. After that, they gave up chemical pesticides.
There is a huge potential to export these crops to the world. As every year, farmers waste the excess crops because of the inefficient capacity of cold storage centres nearby and high costing regarding the same. Which is still not a popular business method here. That is a huge loss for people who can consume it outside India but not happening due to less business communication with this part of the world. Every year 1,000 tonnes of vegetables like fresh potato, tomato, pumpkin, brinjal, gourds, cauliflower, green cabbage, rice, wheat, mustard oil, mangoes, jackfruit, coconuts and many other such organic items are growing in huge. These crops are getting popular in the local market.
The recent observation of the local farming culture I found it is interesting to share the photos I took some of the crops items. These organic crops we are getting delivered at every home in our neighbourhood.

Basirhat Lalita Mandir Rash Utsav
Rash Yatra Utsav is one of the many festivals in the busy Bengali calendar, held in the month of November – December every year. Basirhat Lalita Mandir is an establishment in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal. Here 1000’s of devotees come every year to see the Rash Yatra Utsav. This year it was a grand celebration too.
Rash Yatra is in devotion to Sri Krishna and Radha Rani. This is first started by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in Nabadwip, dedicated to the divine love of Sri Krishna and Radha. Lord Chaitanya’s “sankirtana movement” was revolutionary which offered everyone spiritual enfranchisement.
Cult music instruments like mridangam, symbols and hand piano have been used to perform the maha-mantra of Sri Krishna and “loko sangeet”, “kirtana” also been performed by the devotees.
Always love.
