Mahmoud Ahmedinejad addressing UN

Many Leaders throughout the world have made a place in history by both right and wrong ways. Some were introduced to a strong place in history via their strive for welfare of general public while others came to be know as tyrants in history. Leaders like Hitler, Napoleon, Joseph Stalin etc paved their way to political prominence by being hard liners, who made hard decisions that lead to horrific Consequences. But all the same it will not be fair to say all of them were Tyrants, If we take into consideration Genghis Khan or Joseph Stalin they were pure tyrants who suppressed anyone who was at contrary with them.

Just like that it will be unfair to term Ahmedinejad as the second type of leaders that I just described, and all that just because he was a hard line Leader who was staunchly opposed to come on terms with US and Israel. I also believe that ahmedinejad should have been more diplomatic rather goint to an extreme but despite that Its just a plausible and Rational thought, I mean how can one just term someone as that second type when their extreme position towards Israel is factually supported by the notion that Israel is single nuclear power in middle east. keeping that in mind one should not jump to conclusions about type of leadership the leader is portraying. Just as Israel has been Pre-emptively Defensive all this time and takes all measures to safeguard itself, Ahmednejad was doing the same but the difference is the latter restrict himself mostly to words to get Diplomatic Advantage.  

Mahmoud Ahmedinejad left office yesterday after two terms spread over almost 8 years of Presidency and was replaced by the President elect Hassan Rouhani who was approved to be a president by Ayatollah Khamenei. Retiring from Presidential office has given him time to form University along with an office so that he can sustain his presence in politics. Other then that Ahmedinejad plans on launching several Publications. 

The first presidential Campaign was filled with slogans of strengthening economy, helping the poor that appeared to be realistic because of his poor but not uneducated background. He did deliver, helped poor allot and transformed Iran into a economically strong country but faced downfall during second term in office when the economy started to cripple due to all those economic sanctions on oil sales and international banking Sanctions resulting from his staunch and extreme opposition to West. That is when everything started to turn around and he lost public trust.

In contrast to first term where he portrayed himself as a spokesman for Supreme Leader, in second term Ahmedinejad Started to build a political circle of supporters and started challenging the Dominance of Conservative Clerics certainly making matters far more worse for him. Everything else followed these events and led to a Ahmedinejad being domestically as well as internationally defamed. 

   

Recently Lea Michael told her 3.5 m Followers via Twitter that she was thankful  to everyone for the huge level of support shown, that it helped her allot to go through grieving phase. Lea and Cory's relationship was quite strong like the one they shared on Glee. It is not hard to imagine that Cory must having found happiness while being at Glee with all the amazing ensemble cast who had been supportive of him all this time. It really is sad to see young talent falling prey to such abuse. Tough measures are required to stop this from happening to anyone whether a celebrity or a commoner.   

Glee: Lost a Real talent to substance abuse!

The cast and crew of glee mourned together at a ceremony where everyone while grieving shared their best moments with Monteith  and also shared songs/stories. The Co-creator of the Show Ryan Murphy said in a statement that he thought it better that everyone should get back to the work where they all shared the same grief, also Ryan said that Third episode of Glee's upcoming season will deal with death of Cory from drug abuse with a special Beatles tribute.

Fox Entertainment Chairman did not clarify whether finn will die of overdose or not but chances are he will die from overdose most probably. In addition to this Proceeds made from the episode will be used to honor the late Cory with forming a foundation in his name.

 

In the light of the episode dedicated to honor Cory contributing proceeds to form a foundation that works for eradicating substance abuse, everyone one of us has an obligation to do what we can to stop such incidents from happening and comforting such people and supporting them so that they can get their life back on track and can avoid such tragic end for themselves!

Edward Snowden an NSA(National Security Agency) fugitive is responsible for leaking some very sensitive official documents pertaining to US Surveillance programs like PRISM. With Snowden on the run from prosecution in his home country, the whole scenario puts a huge question mark on US. As confirmed by Julian Assange himself wiki leaks did help Snowden at more then one time. Edward Snowden was offered asylum by countries like Venezuela, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Bolivia but Snowden thought it more plausible to wait to see if Russia will approve his asylum request.

Edward Snowden Hero or Not

Seems like Snowden's wait was worth it, Russia has granted Snowden asylum for one year. According to snowden's lawyer Snowden may or may not decide to stay in Russia as of now. There are chances that he will leave for Latin American Countries that extended their offer to Snowden for Asylum.

Are there Diplomatic Complexities in Snowden's Asylum Request?

Many in USA still see Snowden as a traitor who should be tried under Espinoge Act. But whatever thee truth is it seems Documents may not stop yet on Snowdens part at least. The Guardian a leading Newspaper fueled current scenario further by revealing details about another US Surveillance Program yesterday. According to the newspaper's released details, US authorities keep check on large Email, online chats and browsing histories databases without any authorization beforehand.

Bradley Manning Scenario

Things really are getting messy for United Sates now, it is quite visible from what has happened in previous days that it is loosing its grip on the world. 

Entertainment Industry is one of those destinations that people choose most of the times to get fame. Many of these famed artists after achieving success fall down because of material and other distractions, but there are some who keep moving forward to achieve much more. Whether it is Film, television or Music sector fame always get to their heads in the end and start making mistake that brings their downfall. But as i said there are some who stay focused and Johnny Depp is one of them. He did have allot of wrong turns too but still manged to stay on track.

J.K Rowling's take on Crime

Glee: Lost a real talent to Substance abuse !

 No doubts these films made him who he is today but that really brought him to the broader limelight was his brilliant portrayals of Ed Wood in 'Ed Wood', Joseph D. Pistone in Donnie Brasco, Hunter S. Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, George Jung in Blow and not to forget Bank Robber John Dillinger in Public Enemies. All the success he achieved through these perfectly performed roles lead Depp to become highest paid actor in the whole industry according to Guinness Book of World Records as of 2012.

Johnny Depp has recently announced in an interview with BBC that he will be calling it quits in near future as he needs to prepare for old age. According to sources Pirates of the Caribbean is due with Johnny depp coming back to play the highly popular role of Jack Sparrow. Also Rumor has it that Depp will be appearing in sequel to Alice in the Wonderland as Mad hatter and that he has also signed himself to a lead role in a crime Thriller named Mortdecai. 

Well whether Depp stays or retires he has had a fair share of his success! and has left his mark deep down in the industry with his unique Acting style. 

Its never easy to be a whistle blower or in this case just someone accused of passing on classified information, they know what consequences their actions might bear for them but still they do them. Why? is it Fame they seek? or riches? Each one of them whether its Edward Snowden or Bradley Manning, putting themselves in danger to get fame. I don't think so! its too much of a price to pay.

Edward Snowden Hero or not

Are there any Diplomatic Complexities in Snowden's Asylum Request?

Prosecution based their case on one particular civil war trial of private Henry Vanderwater who was charged with aiding the enemy by leaking union roster to Alexandria Newspaper in Virginia. He was sentenced to three months hard labor and was dishonorably discharged from service. But in the end Judge Denise decided to acquit the charge. Manning's defense tried to carry out the case in manning's favor by arguing that young manning's actions were well intended, that by these actions he wanted to spark global debate on U.S Foreign policy and nothing else! 

Bradley Manning a U.S solider was stationed in Iraq near Baghdad when he was arrested for allegedly transferring Classified information to Wiki leaks on May 2010. He was charged with 22 offenses of which one was aiding enemy. The suspicion on which Bradley arrested was instilled by a Computer Hacker named Adam Lamo to FBI. Adam Claimed to be confidant of Manning; told FBI that Manning according to their online chat had downloaded material from databases and transferred it to Wiki leaks, material that included some 500,000 army reports pertaining to Iraq War Logs and Afghan War Logs along with 250,000 Diplomatic Cables and videos of 12 July Baghdad airstrike and 2009 Granai airstrike in Afghanistan. All this info no doubt bolstered the arrest of Manning plus 22 charges. 

Manning's court marshal lasted for some seven weeks that follows the verdict by Judge colonel Denise lind that found manning guilty of 20 charges including theft and digital Fraud but what is surprising in this affair is that manning was acquitted of the most important charge and that was of aiding the enemy, this action on part of the military judge has forced many to raise eyes as to why judge will acquit him of most serious charge while holding on to all other charges. is it because she like many others thinks that 25 years old manning has had not leaked information with general evil intent? it most certainly seems to be the very reason.

This scenario dose provoke a thought in many minds; the persons who put their lives at stake by disclosing official information that draws back the curtain from government wrong doings while knowing the price, is it right to convict them?!

The superhero film Genre in the previous few years has seen revolution at a remarkable pace. Movies like Superman, Batman and Spider man were rebooted successful that garnered huge success both at the box office and from Critics, at least the first two did. X-Men is another film that was liked by many film goers back in the day, many new X-men movies have been made following its first trilogy series going further to explain unexplained events from history and characters. The latest X-Men movie that explores the character of Logan that is to say Wolverine.

The Wolverine has been directed by James Mangold, a movie that portrays Hugh Jackman in a standalone role, no X-Men or anything else. James should be appreciated to put him out there on screen alone without support from any of X-Men members, which as compared to Iron Man, Thor or Captain America is a difficult feat to achieve. This standalone story is appreciable but all the same one has to admit that it lacks some charisma that was there in the X-Men series. What is even more frustrating is that nothing is wrong in this flick acting on part of Jackman is great as always, he dose deliver that dark pathos perfectly with which his fans identify themselves but still there is nothing more to it then just his intense Dreams and his anger filled fights.

The plot of the film starts right after the third installment of X-Men Trilogy series, Jean Grey is dead and Logan holds himself responsible as seen in his intense dreams. The story is based on a man named Yashida who happens to be the most Powerful man, aged and dying Yashida (who was once saved by Logan in Nagasaki atomic Bomb explosion during WW2) calls out to Logan via Yukia the teleporter. When Logan visit Yashida, he makes a request to Logan for his immortality which is obviously turned down. Yashida dies and at his funeral a gangster squad tries to abduct Mariko who is Yashida's granddaughter, and then ... wait! now i cant  tell you the whole story, can I ? you will have to see the rest of it yourself.

what i can tell you is that it will be really worth to spare some time to watch the movie, but then again i must say that to me Jackman as wolverine is perfect but still he will do allot more well being with other fellow mutants from X-Men. 

The Reluctant Fundamentalist Review

White House Down Review

In the previous couple of days Egypt has seen yet another epilogue of worst Crisis starting by coup against its first democratically elected president Morsi followed by strong protests by Defiant Muslim Brotherhood. It is not the first time that Military Generals have deemed it necessary to carry out coup d'etat to protect the national interest. But for what it was worth all we have seen yet is more instability along with surging number of deaths at the hands of Egyptian Army. For the last one week Cairo has been packed with the protesters Demanding the release of the ousted President. 

There is no doubt in believing that time ahead for Egyptians will not be an easy one they will have to face many difficulties. The Post Morsi Era will be that of an ideological Conflict between the Islamists and Secularists, an era that may be earmarked by intense struggle between the two to bring Egypt under their Factions ideology. One should not be naive to form an opinion that with President Morsi's ouster Political Islam lost its stronghold just as Brotherhood thought of Secularists when they came to power. 

What we have to understand is the notion that gave Military the mandate to come back to power was the public support that was neither Islamist nor Secularist. The public that wanted the same as at the time Mubarak's ouster, Political stability that will lead to public security along with economic stability. These were the real reasons for the ousters. Different Ideological factions may be able to manipulate circumstances to their advantage but truth is that the real reasons for the public turning against their Rulers is lack of Governance, Stability and economic prospects. 

In my view if Egyptians truly want stability to be restored they need to be tolerant enough to make some compromises that will lead to bridging the Huge gap that exists between two strong Ideological Factions that is to say Islamists and Secularists. Both Sides have to realize the bitter realities and think for the long term future ahead unless they don't want Egypt to be a stable and peaceful again
