Slumdog’s Victory

Slumdog Millionaire deserved true commendation for the 8 Oscars it won. It’s a pure cinema at its best! And India celebrates a Hollywood Victory at last in this truly remarkable real life fairy tale!

Jai Ho was a musical delight, but what attracted me is the theme and cinematic adaptation for this move. It is a very lively depiction of a life on hope. Mumbai’s slums are the hard depiction of life that we fail to accept sitting and blogging from our laptops. But there is life..yes..life is those slums.

And true, it is not far from reality of a large percentage of India’s population, young and old, which spend their life in slums because they are ‘destined’! We need to appreciate life’s gifts and move on. Every day is special!!!
