“राईस”
I thought it was a waste of my time, but then, felt better about it after reading The Hindu review
Compare with “”Kaalaa”
I still suspect that the dangers of such strong leadership models might be greater than their benefits!
Redeeming Islam in a post-9/11 world is absolutely essential for the future of the entire world……
Have there been any real Robinhoods, ever??

– Movies:
“The Kidnapping of Michel Houllebecq”
Is this just a vehicle to air the author’s brand of nihilism? Does the kidnapping stand for “his inner life”?
Docu-fantasy, comic thriller
Scandalizing the humorless
Charlie Hebdo – satirical, secular, political and jubilant newspaper
Polemical prophecy
Remarkably ugly
kitsch-topia
Repellant & innocuous anti-charisma
Writer-directors
Do you know anything about Guillame Nicloux?
Slyly horrifying, preposterous, assaultive and tender
True rumors
Low-key affect
Bleak exaggeration
The ordinary lives of literary provocateurs
Staid but seething-with-ennui setting
Set off by
Highly Objectionable Stances
Just a fragile, old guy saying some unusual stuff
Formidable and perverse social chess player
(Maurice) Pialat-esque note
Upended Stockholm Syndrome
“This could be a pre-emptive mockery of possible jihadist attempts to punish Houellebecq for his perceived Islamophobia, or maybe it’s a meditation on the writer’s life: solitary, miserable, waiting for some external “ransom” event for validation.”
Indians watching this film, imagine (someone like) Arundhati Roy in Houllebecq’s place……

– When someone says that they can’t spare 2 hours per week for the spiritual formation group meetings:
1. They are in a temporary crisis (E.g. Psychological, health, family, work, etc.).
2. They are poor (struggling for economic survival)
3. They are already engaged in some other forms of regular spiritual discipline
4. They have a serious spiritual problem (E.g. Workaholism, depression, etc.)

– Orthopathy MUST include negative emotions.
E.g. Anger, sadness, anxiety, fear, confusion, etc.
How we deal with them will be one of the chief determinants of our spiritual vitality!

– “The former is the building and the latter is the foundation. The foundation exists for the sake of the beauty and function of the building, and the building needs a solid foundation for its own stability
Former – individual freedom
Latter – social order
Try to keep both in tension. But in the right order. I don’t think they are “equal”!
[6/28, 12:40 PM] Immanuel Joseph: Individual > self
[6/28, 12:41 PM] Immanuel Joseph: Social responsibility is nothing but the expansion of freedom for all individuals, not just me
[6/28, 12:41 PM] Francis Emmanuel: Sometimes I feel like why worry about religion ,society, spirituality and live
[6/28, 12:43 PM] Immanuel Joseph: Trying to suppress it or blindly following it – neither is the best response
[6/28, 12:44 PM] Immanuel Joseph: Social service must be done along with self-care. That is the real challenge! Just doing one or the other is a cop-out ☝🏽
[6/28, 12:45 PM] Immanuel Joseph: Every person needs some higher value to believe in and fight for. Without it, life is inhuman!
[6/28, 12:46 PM] Immanuel Joseph: That’s why we should also have one or two days a week for pure pleasure and uninhibited enjoyment
[6/28, 12:47 PM] Immanuel Joseph: Just like recharging a battery!
[6/28, 12:47 PM] Francis Emmanuel: Pleasure?
[6/28, 12:47 PM] Immanuel Joseph: The flesh should not be denied always!
[6/28, 12:47 PM] Immanuel Joseph: Yes! PLEASURE 👁
[6/28, 12:49 PM] Immanuel Joseph: Indulgence/pampering/gratification
[6/28, 12:52 PM] Immanuel Joseph: This is where I disagree with the mainstream Christian morality!
[6/28, 12:53 PM] Immanuel Joseph: Mere rest is NOT enough.
[6/28, 12:54 PM] Francis Emmanuel: Yes Annan correct. But how long can we do this. At one point it becomes too much
[6/28, 12:54 PM] Immanuel Joseph: That’s why we need self-control!
[6/28, 12:54 PM] Immanuel Joseph: We are BOTH flesh AND spirit
[6/28, 12:57 PM] Francis Emmanuel: Oh ok Annan.
[6/28, 1:03 PM] Immanuel Joseph: Just my views da. You can consider it and come up with your own
[6/28, 1:04 PM] Francis Emmanuel: I always look up to u r views Annan. I find it right most of the times.
[6/28, 2:12 PM] Immanuel Joseph: 😎✋🏽
