Have you explored the symbolic language of flowers?

Despite the popular belief, flowers have nothing to do with gender and everything to do with emotions.
For instance, red chrysanthemums say ‘I love you’, white roses mean purity, a fresh start and also, ‘I am worthy of you’ and dwarf sunflowers signify adoration. So let’s not assume men are not fond of flowers.
For the people who have already shared enough bouquets or prefer to give a lasting gift, here’s a list of fun and unique gifts for men who love flowers.

5 JP Dutta Films Which Made Us Fall In Love With Period & War Dramas

By ADMIN, October 3, 2020

Up until a few years ago, Bollywood didn’t do a lot of war films, and even the ones that they did, didn’t quite come close to those classics many of us had grown up watching and taking pride in.
One name that’s become synonymous with this genre of cinema is none other than that of JP Dutta who has given us and the Indian diaspora elsewhere, some of the most memorable war and period dramas of all time.
With a career spanning over three decades and 10 films under his name, this man has managed to establish himself as one of the best in the field and these five of his classic creations are proof of his outstanding craftsmanship.
1. BorderWe cannot possibly think of a person who has never watched this movie, or listened to its iconic songs or heard someone else mention the greatness of this film. With a powerful ensemble cast, excellent screenplay and storytelling, this one is by far one of JP Dutta’s greatest creations.

2. Refugee JP Dutta was the man who gave us a period drama which became the debut film of two of Bollywood biggest star kids, Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor. The music from this movie became superhit too, although the film itself was nothing compared to Dutta’s last hit. Still, many have loved the story as well as AB Jr and Kareena’s performance in the film.

3. LOC KargilAnother action-packed, well-made war film by JP Dutta, this one was based on the 1999 Kargil War. The soundtrack was created by the same set of people behind Border, and surely the music spoke for itself. When it came to the performance and cinematography, the audience couldn’t help praising Dutta for his portrayal of a soldier’s life and sacrifices.

4. Umrao JaanWho hadn’t fallen in love with the sheer beauty of this film? Based on the novel Umrao Jaan Ada, it could only have been Aishwarya who could take up the challenge of reviving an iconic figure like that of Umrao Jaan’s on the silver screen after Rekha. Right from the performances, the dance sequences and songs, this one was an absolute gem!

5. PaltanOne of the most recent creations by JP Dutta, this 2018 film came after a gap of 12 years and although it may not have been able to create as many waves as his previous films, those who watched it called it a hit. People loved how Dutta brought forth the tales of bravery from the Nathu La and Cho La clashes of 1967. Despite the long run-time, the film promises good action, convincing performances and loads of information.

4 Times ‘Dexter’s Laboratory’ Made ‘Jokes’ Only Adults Could Understand

By ADMIN, October 3, 2020

If you are a 90s kid and spent a memorable amount of your time watching Cartoon Network, you have not only heard of the hit show Dexter’s Laboratory but have sat through all of its seven years of run time.
And while you remember the show for the small ingenious kid inventing new things in his lab and his Dee Dee screwing up everything around him, you might have overlooked a couple of ‘jokes’ and references in the show simply because you were too young to understand.
Here are four times Dexter’s Laboratory made ‘jokes’ only adults could understand:
Dad’s Trophy - Nuclear Confusion © Cartoon Network Studios
Dee Dee steals the power source to Dexter’s laboratory which could lead to the extension of humanity as we know it but instead of simply handing over the source to his baby brother, Dee Dee decides to make a treasure hunt out of the whole fiasco.

While most of the clues are safe enough for kids to understand and have fun, one stands out from the crowd. In the episode, Dexter visits his neighbour’s house and after looking around everywhere for clues, accidentally catches a glimpse of the lady who happened to bend down at the exact moment. At the back of her hips, it’s written “Dad’s Trophy”. In all fairness, Dee Dee literally wants Dexter to check out their father’s actual trophy but the joke becomes absolutely clear now that we are “wiser”.
Dexter Hires An Adult Dancer To Replace Dee Dee…? - Dee Dee and The Man
Trying to fill the void after Dee Dee goes away in the episode Dee Dee and The Man, Dexter decides to hold auditions to replace his sister. After going through a bunch of contestants, Dexter comes across Candi and is instantly in awe for her. He makes her say Dee Dee’s favourite dialogue “What does this button do?” but wants her to say it with a lot of “passion”.
Taking a hint, Candi kneels in front of him and starts running her fingers through his hair with romantic music playing in the background and says the line rather seductively. Dexter takes a small break and once he’s back, he is soaking wet. Eventually Dexter asks Candi to dance for him and she says “50 bucks extra”.
Mom Dad’s Game - Ego Trip © Cartoon Network Studios
In the first few minutes of the television film Dexter’s Laboratory: Ego Trip, only the legs of Dexter’s parents can be seen in the frame with background noises of moaning and groaning can be heard.
At one point, Dexter’s mom says “Honey, I don’t think it’s going to fit,” to which the dad replies “just a little more, dear.”
Quickly the scene zooms out and the game mom and dad were playing turns out to be Twister. Phew, for a moment there, I thought that was a sexual innuendo. Silly me.
“Flour Smuggling” - Beard To Be Feared
If showing sexual content in a kids’ cartoon is not allowed, talking about drug deals should be right up there with it, right? Well, the creators of Dexter’s Laboratory found a way around that as well, by simply calling it “flour”.
Without giving away too much about the episode, Dexter ends up in the middle of a bunch of “flour smugglers”. One of them opens a pack with his knife and says “I can assure you it's 100% pure” while another rich man dips a finger in it and tests the quality.
