Moana 2


 Moana journeys to the far seas of Oceania after receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors is what Moana 2, 
a sequel to Moana (2016) is all about. A 2024 American animated musical adventure film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures.  The film was directed by David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller (in their feature directorial debuts) and produced by Christina Chen and Yvett Merino, from a screenplay by Jared Bush and Miller.

Three years after her adventure with the demigod Maui and the island goddess Te Fiti, Moana spends her days exploring other islands near her home island of Motunui in the hope of finding people connected to the ocean.

In a vision, her ancestor, Tautai Vasa, reveals why none of those people are connected anymore: the malicious storm god Nalo wanted power over the mortals, so he sunk a legendary island called Motufetu—which connected all islands—down to the depths of the ocean. Tautai further warns that the people of Motunui will go extinct in the future if Moana cannot find a way to raise Motufetu. She assembles a crew of people from Motunui—clever craftswoman Loto, historian and Maui fanboy Moni, and grumpy elderly farmer Keke, alongside her pet pig and rooster, Pua and Heihei—to follow the path of a comet across the ocean towards Motufetu.

Meanwhile, Maui is seeking Motufetu himself since he had a previous quarrel with Nalo, but he is captured by Nalo's enforcer, Matangi. Maui is reluctant to contact Moana, as he fears she may not survive if she comes to help. Moana and her crew are captured by the Kakamora, a tribe of savage coconut-like pirates previously encountered by Moana, who reveal that Nalo's actions against Motufetu had caused them to be disconnected from their home island. One member of the Kakamora, Kotu, helps the crew paralyze a gargantuan monster clam inside of which is Matangi's lair. While the crew finds Maui, Moana meets Matangi and learns that she is not happy serving Nalo. She helps Moana escape and reunite with Maui and her friends, before sending them to where Nalo is.

Maui warns that Nalo's realm is deadlier compared to the mortal realm and that fighting him will spell certain death for mere mortals. Nalo's monsters ambush the group, damaging their raft and washing them ashore on an isolated island. Moana begins to despair, but Maui encourages her to keep on going. With Moana revitalized, the group plans to have Maui raise the island so that Moana can touch it, as that is the only way to restore Motufetu and stop Nalo. Her crew repairs her raft, but when the group ventures forth to confront Nalo, they encounter a gigantic storm.

Moana, realizing that Nalo is trying to stop the humans from breaking the curse, asks Maui to lift the island enough for her to touch it. As Maui begins to pull up the island with his giant hook, Nalo strips Maui of his demigod powers with a lightning bolt. Moana, in a moment of desperation, dives into the ocean to touch the island underwater. Just as Moana succeeds, Nalo's lightning bolt kills her. Maui jumps in after her body, and with a magical chant, summons the spirits of Tautai Vasa and Moana's ancestors (including her grandmother Tala) who help revive her as a demigoddess, with Moana gaining a wayfinder's tattoo. Maui, having also regained his powers as a demigod, finally raises Motufetu and helps Moana reconnect the people with the ocean.

The crew returns home to Motunui, leading a flotilla of the peoples of the ocean, and a celebration is held in Moana's honor. In a mid-credits scene, Nalo plans his revenge and is about to punish Matangi for helping Moana, when the giant crab Tamatoa arrives to join his cause.

Wishes for the comming year for all of you:

May you always run out of chair for all your guests,

2025 is the beginning on Gen Beta. Starting January 1, 2025, the newest demographic population, Generation Beta, is set to make its entrance into the world. The group, comprising of children born between 2025 and 2039, is expected to constitute 16 per cent of the global population by 2035, with many likely to see the dawn of the 22nd century, according to social researcher Mark McCrindle, who is often credited for defining the generational labels.

Manmohan Singh

 




For me the greatest moment that summed up ManmohanSingh's personality was When he was 91 Years old, bed ridden, severely ill, yet got up , came to the parliament in his wheelchair to vote against a bill and fulfill his parliamentary duty. 


His dedication and commitment to India's democracy was unparalleled. 


A true son of India ♥️

Few are saying why we need to apologise to Manmohan Singh.

Here is why. We kept on mocking him, calling him silent PM, ACCIDENTAL PM and all.

He spoke with his work.He is a King. The real Singh is King 👑 


His Visionary politics lifted 27 crore Indians outside multidimensional poverty (UNDP report).

My memory of his begin when he was RBI governor,  and in my customery news writing for my sister,  I wrote his name as Manmohan Sing Desai, and my father had a hearty laugh.

How's it in the after being on earth? Did you meet my dad?
