Starting out a bit late. The targets for today-

Shubh Prabhat doston! 

Spent almost the whole day in college,beginning with admission form hassles and ending with boring Drafting class. Agin did nothing beyond newspaper. 

I have time till 3 pm tomorrow. Will try to cover what I committed for today. 

I need to reinforce the following- MightyyyyRajuuu jaldi kar. 

@Morticia Tbh, I was about to enquire about this chaand. 

@Pepethefrog Sab khairiat se dost? 

@Lawstice Papers going to JNU under this sarkar. Lol. Modiji-Lal maane khatra. Another lol. 

@Hi______ You can try if they are offering something like this bhai. But going by their track record, I suspect them to be offering anything meaningful. I toh doubt ki they will kidnap aspirants and ask for ransom from parents. 

Shubh Ratri doston! 

I'm aware of how much you love his rants :P


Also look what I came across,

"Mighty Raju has come up with more super human powers this time. He received his super powers from the compound named Neutrino, that his mother had mistakenly consumed in her prenatal state. Mighty Raju risks his own safety and fights with all sort of evil powers to rescue the people of Aryaman Nagar. He never gives up and is always determined to win over wicked people . Catch up with Mighty Raju"

Meanwhile mighty Raju busy with Julie :p 

I've never seen a single episode of this cartoon. The only knowledge I have of it is via  my young cousins. 

"Wait a minute!"

Raju is not with chutki and has a new girl named Julie? 

That's interesting@THE_MECHANIC 

The Raju you are talking is with chota bheem named cartoon then they later started new cartoon named mighty Raju which has different story 

Vse chutki to bheem k sath thi na Raju to side character tha πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ

Talking about cartoons, what's this sudden wave of mythological and religious characters/gods taking over the entertainment space? πŸ₯Έ

"Gadget guru ganesha" "Bajrangi" " Chhota bheem" etc.

I'm blessed to have had old CN as an integral part of my childhood πŸ˜…πŸ€²πŸ»


Regarding that the cartoon made in india have such names like bal Hanuman , chota bheem , rest of them are made in other countries American Japan china ( not completely sure though πŸ˜…πŸ˜…)

Yeah I am aware about that but I hardly seem to find a mixed basket of animations to choose from, which is so unfair to the kids.

We had anime, classics, contemporary and what not! 

Hi.. Dont forget about Oggy and cockroaches.. With sunny paji voice... πŸ˜‚

S in khairiyat stands for study hours, which do not exist.

@Morticia thanks for the warm welcome.

@D503 whole purpose of barging in is to leave after some time.


Less than 9 months left and I'm still at level 0.

Targets (21/09)-

Optional (2 units)

Economy (basic concepts)

Read (Haha Huhu)

Same targets for 22/09. arghhhh, if i don't pull it off tomorrow, then.......... idk what i'll do

What do you guys and gals do in your study breaks. I engage in mindless scrolling and then get tired and bored and even sad. Is there some productive way to enjoy the breaks

I always went to youtube earlier but have been trying to move away.Personally this is what I have been doing:
Avoid social media (including youtube - kyunki shorts hai) atleast till 5-6pm
Try scheduling personal chores during the breaks / meditate / talk. Don't put stress on eyes by reading / focusing on anything.
Try to pull off more study hours by 5-6 pm so that you can wind down in evening

Although having productive breaks is what I used to do (while in job), there were multiple days I got burned out due to this. Better to do have more rounded routine which is sustainable in long term.

Sociologists call this phenomena as a form of religious revivalism. Where religion tries to stay relevant in dynamic society  leading to situation of ailenation and adaption.

Though from an artistic pov, There seems to be a projection of one's imagination coloured with one's social location. Mixing of God themes and cartoons is not restricted to India. Lot's of anime have references to Japanese religions and mythology. Naruto's Kyubi, Sasuke's Amatratsu, Indra are examples of how local stories are incorporated into the mangaka's imagination of ninja world. Similarly One piece also have references to Greeco, Japanese, Egpytian mythology and Gods.


Then we have Percy Jackson where Greek Gods are adapted into imagination. 

Also you remember Hades and Hercules cartoon during our childhood? Was a part of Disney if I remember correctly. Basically convergence of cartoons , religion and mythology has been there.

Even your fav The Addams familyseems to be influenced from vampire/ goth culture and mythology of medeival Europe?

Since the artists and the audience are not isolated from the society it's natural to have those connections drawn and explored upon.


If one tries to integrate individualistic and sociological perspective we realise, with new structures, new ideas emerge and somehow old ideas find a way in new ideas. This can either be because of cultural lag or because the tenacity of old ideas or maybe because of artistic laziness.


Tldr : I need to get a life outside this forum.

Were nothing more than two leaves of tea

Being in hot water

Still stuck there. Either I will take an off tomorrow or day after to make up for this loss. Even if I don't take an off tomorrow, yet I will try finishing this stuff by tomorrow.

I don't know a bit about cartoons. My childhood and early teens was spent watching Doordarshan. But I will always wish someone makes a big budget superhero movie on Bhagwan Hanuman. Also, as an IR student, I rue for the fact that our film industry has failed to export some of our greatest historical accounts. That would have sharpened our Soft Power beyond that usual Curry and great food. Even the West, which is a far more recent civilisation was able to export their values. We failed to do our bit.

Shubh Ratri doston!
