Blue Beetle- English Film (2023)

Blue Beetle film is based on DC comic characters. The main storyline revolves around a scientific innovation of Blue Beetle machine which will make a normal human being capable of super human powers. 

Victoria, the owner of a defence technology company, wants to capture the machine as well as the power of Blue Beetle and use it for their profit. By a coincidence, Jenny, the niece of Victoria, gets hold of the machine. Through Jenny, the scarab reaches a young boy Jaime, who gets the power of the machine by sudden interaction with it. Thus starts the main story of the film; how both of them team up and save the machine from the evil clutches of the current director of the company, is shown in the film. 

The story goes in expected way, there is no surprise element in it. The young hero, his careless and inconfident approach in the beginning, later becoming responsible and matured- we have watched such storyline in numerous films. 

The hero Jaime lives in a joint family with many members, all of them have their own unique characteristics. They all make a happy family in spite of their differences. This quality of Jaime's family is appreciated by the heroine Jenny. 

In the end Jaime defeats the main villain Victoria and the machine bot Carapac, who was helping Victoria. 

Overall, the film is targeted for young audience, who may not have watched other films based on such comic characters. For matured audiences, there is nothing much to watch. It is only an action film with futuristic machines and special effects. 

With lots of best wishes.

Pachhe Loke Kichhu Bole- A Famous Bengali Poem

'Pachhe Loke Kichhu Bole' is a famous Bengali poem, which all of us have read during our school days. It tells us to be confident in our daily life. We need to have full faith in our decisions, only thus we can act courageously in life. If we keep on thinking about the reaction of other people while taking every step, we can't progress ahead. Many times a person having a good intention or planning to do a good action, gets demotivated by people around him and leaves the task midway. This poem teaches us not to be affected by opinions of others.

And with this poem, I am remembering and paying my respect to the famous poetess Kamini Roy, who wrote this poem along with many other famous poems in Bengali. She was born on 12 October in the year 1864 at Basunda, now in Bangladesh. She was the first honours graduate in British India in the year 1886. Along with writing many poems, she has contributed intensely towards society in many social causes as well as women's rights. She left us on 27 September 1933. 

We are grateful to all such noble souls for inculcating values in our life.

Do read the poem from from any book or by searching the internet, if you have not read it before.

With lots of best wishes for all of you.

Jai Shri Krishna.
