It's been a while since i watched a movie in a theater, the last one i saw was Jurassic World Dominion. If there is any movie I'm expecting to see is Meg 2: The Trench which releases next month. Generally i would watch animal movies multiple times like Jurassic Park. There aren't many good movies which has extinct animals. Even though the CGI was fine in the first movie 'The Meg', the movie was below average in my opinion. That is why i saw it only 2 times. I guess the Meg 2 will be ok but better than the first one. There are a combination of reasons for it and i don't want to go into much details except just mentioning one. I had no idea why they added a certain end credit song for' The Meg' which sounded like it is for some kids. Something like chiki chiki ??

These kinds of movies which has monstrous animals doesn't need a song in the end credit but a terrifying music. Like if any of you have seen Jeremy Wade encountering a bluntnose shark in the depth of 610 m, that was more amazing than many animal movies. It also had a good terrifying BGM when the shark was around.

So, finally i saw Jurassic World: Dominion. I noted more negative reviews before watching the movie. Of course that is not going to stop me from seeing this movie because i generally don't care much about the story. If i could able to see some dinosaurs, that is fine for me and my favorite Jeff Goldblum is in it. Some action scenes were nice. Seems like some people got pissed of by seeing the giant locusts in this movie. 😄

One of the negative reviews i noted was funny and ridiculous, someone blamed everything like bad acting, bad script, bad direction and even the cgi was worse. Seriously the cgi ?

I think these people should make movies on their own.

It was great to see the reunion of Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neil and Laura Dern in the movie.

Here is my ratings :

Jurassic Park (1993) - 10/10

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) - 6.5/10

Jurassic Park III (2001) - 6/10

Jurassic World (2015) - 9/10

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) - 6/10

Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) - 6.5/10

I think perhaps it will take a longtime for some new director to make the 7th sequel of Jurassic Park. These are kinds of movies which i would like to see more sequels. I hope there should be at least 4 more movies in the Jurassic Park franchise, making it overall as 10.

The age-old question on whether there is an after life. I don't think about these things but as recently my dad passed away, i just spent little time to read certain things. The one thing that i find as interesting is the brain staying active for hours after death. It seems like the duration varied among people. So when my dad's heart stopped beating, his brain should have been still active. Later my sibling told me that tears came from his eyes after he died and it was different for me to hear. Another thing i read which i find as interesting is that the consciousness exists after death. This might be something difficult to imagine for people who are alive.

I told my sibling that whether the time where we brought our dad home and were sitting next to him for some hours, perhaps his consciousness exists and he knew that we both are next to him. Then some religious men washed him and brought him inside, this time my dad's face appeared like he was slightly smiling, certainly looked better than when he was in the hospital. He looked as he was alive. I was looking at his face for a while.

When my sibling water the plants in the balcony, she could able to see dad's room from there. She could able to see the back of his head through the window, he usually sits on the floor and read newspaper at that time. When she came inside dad's room and told me how come a person can disappear like that. Well, it's one of those mysterious things that is going on in this planet. I certainly have more reaction to it as i'm a guy who always had more interest in the life forms that existed on this planet from the very beginning. It's so weird for me to see dad's abandoned stuff here, his tablets, tools & equipment, clothes etc. I took his writing, he has many of them along with his impressive resume which has his abroad experience, compared to that my resume basically has nothing. I already was a lone individual when dad use to be in the next room. Even though there was barely conversation between me and him, it was comfortable for me that he was there. These days the next room is empty and i'm pretty much alone.

So, this relative women told me that my dad went to live his 2nd life and then there is a 3rd life with Allah. I just looked at her and didn't responded.

Where he is living his 2nd life and without us ?

He went to some place in the Universe or once again in the form of another human in this planet ?

On the day of my dad's death, when i showed up later to see him, there were many people. Most of them looked at me like i was some alien. I just crossed my hands and stood there while some of the religious men began saying some religious words. I didn't said the words they said because then there will be no difference between me and them.

A neighbor women asks me whether i go to this certain mosque and i replied with a short answer. Even though i could have not responded if i wanted. She got the answer but again she asks me whether i go to this another mosque and once again i gave a short answer. (The reason for the 2 mosque questions will sound ridiculous. Some of these religious people here, they don't have unity among themselves so they have 2 separate mosques in this place. The people who go to a certain mosque don't visit the another one.)

This is the reason i don't have any respect for people like these. She doesn't have the rights to ask me whether i go to a mosque or not, it's equivalent of me asking any of them that why they do those things. I don't ask any questions to anyone because i don't prefer to interfere in others business and i think that is what a normal person does.

I never was a religious person and never will be. The word religion and god doesn't have much to do with each other and that religion is man made in my opinion. I don't prefer to talk much about these things as this will become a much bigger post. I would be comfortable if really there is something called as an after life and if we could meet our known people so that i can reunite with my dad. Instead i don't like the idea of some people who say that the mind leaves our body and enters another life. I don't like the idea of reincarnation, it just sounds wrong. In that case, everything absolutely becomes meaningless. Then why a person has a certain name, certain look, their family and all this.

There was this online person who obviously don't have the answer when i brought the topic of the extinct life forms and this person simply skips it and talks about the usual stuff that some religious people say, like there will be reincarnation and god will ask us questions etc. The realistic answer for me about whether there is an after life or not is this ------ 'We don't know'.

My dad passed away. 😭 There is a point where things are not in our control. He had heart attack thrice when he was in abroad long before. Recently he had 1 attack. I mean, how much this heart could handle as he was already 75 and his lungs are spoiled as well. In his prime, he was somewhat bigger and he use to drink and smoke a lot. He had some kind of immunity though, (i assume certainly more than me) because all his bros are died before him and they didn't reached his age and they are not smokers or consume alcohol. So this explains that even though some people don't have the habit of smoking, consuming alcohol and stuff, they might die of something else sooner.

He had an adventure in his life. He was flying in airplanes around the Middle East. Seeing him as a little boy, i wanted similar adventure but unfortunately i couldn't have it. He was not a good father to both me and my sibling. He gave unwanted troubles, more to my sibling but in the end we are the ones that cared for him. For years i don't use to talk with him but the first time when i saw him in the ICU, i experienced a pain inside me automatically and i thought that i should stay in the hospital and not abandon him like some people do.

This hospital is fine in my opinion, it rather looks like a mix between a house and a hospital. Their are nuns and one of the main doc is also a nun, they have church inside. I have not heard that a patient from ICU could call from mobile or read newspaper, which is something my dad did few times. Here they allow us to see our dad daily inside ICU. I heard some big hospitals don't allow it and also like some people say that certain hospitals cheat by not showing the ICU patients and they were already dead. I guess overall i have visited this hospital for like a month. We kept our dad in hospital because to see him alive for one more day, one more day, one more day. In fact with the help of ventilator and medicines etc. There are some idiotic people over here including some parents relatives. For these people, why we are keeping our dad in hospital for a while and wasting money. Because for those kinds of people, it's always like why not bring the patient home and let the person die in home (which will be difficult to watch). Of course their opinion never matters to us. It's the choice of me and my sibling. We didn't do it, if we did that then our dad would have died before a month or so.

Apart from his other problems, he has pretty much spoiled his body with tablets as well. The man barely sleeps. He was sleeping using the sleeping tablets and at some point no medication seems to make him sleep. He was having a weak heart and he barely could able to sleep which was a big disadvantage. So in the ICU, while the rest of the patients sleep, my dad is seen restless.

The hurtful thing to watch is that he was making noises while experiencing some pain and he use to somewhat move so they slightly tied his hands. He only knew what was going inside his body. Yesterday, the last day he was no longer making noises and his usual moving hands and legs were automatically in somewhat straight position. His eyes was closed and he was slightly breathing with the help of the ventilator.

Before 4 days was the last time, my dad slightly spoke. For the past 2 days, my dad lost his consciousness and couldn't recognize us. One by one everything went off. The food intake was stopped, he couldn't eat and he was vomiting. Then the urine is not coming out. So after we returned home, a call came from the hospital about the serious situation and till we reached there, our dad was still alive and fighting for his life. After when we reached there, the nurses told us to wait, to let the heart stop on it's own because they won't do it by disconnecting the ventilator and we won't agree to that either. After half an hr, the nurses called us while we were waiting outside. The device which usually showed his irregular cardiac rate and bp showed question mark. My dad died and i watched it. That is a moment i will never forget. My sibling was crying very much and tears were glowing in my eyes and i had a watery nose. She put her ears in his chest and noted that his heart was not beating. She was still waking him up. The nurses told us to move away and i told my sibling that it's over. We did our best and put a hold on his death as long as we could. I touched my dad's hand and feet, they became cold. It was sad to see his shrunken body size. I lifted his hands and held it one last time.

I told my sibling, see he said that he couldn't sleep multiple times and now he slept forever. Even though some people still live at the age of 80 or even over 90, i told my sibling that 75 is fine and that it's a surprising thing that our dad reached that age comparing the smoke and alcohol habits he had in the past. Then i told her that we barely would reach 75. I also told her that i would never want to get admitted in ICU ever, wearing those weird outfits and getting connecting with pipes and that i would rather die in home without treatment.

The first time when we admitted him in the hospital, the doc said he was in critical position as his lungs had problems but after some days he was showing signs of recovery and was shifted to the ward and we returned home. Damn, he had a heart attack after many years and for the second time we admitted him in the hospital and this time i had a negative feeling. Still it seemed like he was showing signs of recovery and i thought he will be shifted to the ward and after some days we would take him home and after that whatever happens is in home. Even though he was shifted to the ward once again he went back to ICU because he behaved kind of violently in the ward. I heard that some people behave like that when they are nearing their death, i know that it doesn't happen to all. Well, i thought he would return home but this time he didn't made it. Some years before when i was staying in a place for few days, i saw some clothes of a relative man who rather died somewhat soon in his 50's. It seemed very weird, i thought like the man is not alive but his clothes are here. Now i had to experience it even more. In my house, i saw the clothes of my dad in the shelf and some things are scattered in the bed, the room is empty. I took shots of his clothes, i took his new mobile ( the mobile that i bought for him before few months which he used very few times at the end of his life) and few of his old pics and kept with me as his memory.

The human body has weird disturbing organs. Some of those organs will fail at some point and you die, then you will be called as a dead body and not even by your name, your identity is erased from this planet. I don't know what kind of nonsense is this. The human life is nothing but a disaster.

I already feel like my time is over. There are lots of bad things going on these things in the world. I don't like hospitals, it seems like i have a dislike when i see the name medical college, the white coat stuff etc. I told my sibling that if suppose i get some serious health issue in the future, she should not attempt to admit me in the hospital. I won't allow it, i would prefer to die in home without treatment and not in some ICU. I won't be doing anything to hurt myself and i won't take care of myself either. I don't feel any excitement that i'm alive, i'm just doing some of my usual thing.

Giant, long-necked sauropods, thought to include the largest land animals ever to have existed, preferred to live in warmer, more tropical regions on Earth, suggesting they may have had a different physiology from other dinosaurs, according to a new study led by researchers at UCL and the University of Vigo.

The study, published in the journal Current Biology, investigated the enigma of why sauropod fossils are only found at lower latitudes, while fossils of other main dinosaur types seem ubiquitously present, with many located in the polar regions.
