Changes...

Moving to a different country is always a daunting task. It takes a lot of planning to close all pending things and then to make arrangements in the new country. This is nothing compared to what hits you when you actually leave! Family, friends and colleagues you used to meet everyday will  be far away and meeting them will become another travel plan. Small things that you take for granted in your home country might become a luxury!

But, in all that, this could be God's way of saying 'You got another chance to start over'! Do the things that you wanted to do but were not able to earlier, change some of the 'wrongs' and do better, explore new options and new things in life and thank God for his mercy!

Jurassic...park...world...universe

Was randomly watching Jurassic World :Fallen kingdom last night and  realised this post was long pending. This is my study on the Jurassic movies.

Jurassic Park: Absolutely ground-breaking movie which is still worth a watch. Rich tycoon artificially creates Dinosaurs on an island and opens a theme park. Someone else wants to steal the dna and in the meanwhile dinosaurs manage to get free and kill almost everyone. Park does not open and the survivors escape.

The Lost World: Something has survived. Hunters sent to the second island to capture dinosaurs. The protaginists try to help the dinosaurs. Captured T-rex escapes and creates havoc. Finally, the T-rex is packed and sent back to the island safely and the survivors like happily ever after.

Jurassic park 3: Man tricks dinosaur expert into joining him on an expedition to find his missing son. Plane crashes on the island. Son alive and the team find the remains of the park and meet a bigger dinosaur - the spinosaurus. The spinosaurus is killed in a fight with another dinosaur and the survivors mange to escape.

Jurassic World: Rich tycoon creates a park with dinosaurs along with a newer bigger one - the indominous rex. The said dinosaur escapes and kills a lot of people. The indominous rex is killed by another dinosaur and the survivors manage to escape and the park is closed.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom: Another rich tycoon tricks a dinosaur expert into going to the island along with hunters. Hunters capture the dinosaurs while the protagonists try to help them. Meanwhile the dinosaurs are brought back for an auction along with a newly created dinosaur - the indoraptor. The indoraptor escapes and kills a lot of people. The protagonists escape after the indoraptor is finally killed by another dinosaur.

There seems to be a pattern here with Jurassic World more like a reboot of the same series with almost the same story lines. With that said, the next one could very well be:

Jurassic World 3: A man searches for his missing daughter and finds out that she went on a boating trip and was shipwrecked. Takes a dinosaur expert to help his research on the island but secretly wants to search for his daughter. They find the daughter and also a bigger dinosaur - the megasaurus. Finally the survivors manage to escape after the megasaurus is killed by other dinosaurs.

That would be the predictable sequel!
