Slumdog millionaire, the awards, we the Indians, etc.

22nd February 2009, the night at Kodak studio- Los Angeles was almost like a Filmfare awards distribution function in India!!! - Because there was “Slumdog millionaire” – the Indian movie. Congrats to the “Slumdog millionaire” team!!! ***** Controversies: Remind the time when “The white tiger” of Mr. Aravinda Adiga won the booker prize. Nothing is exceptional to controversies. But what hurts the most is when you become too much extrovert about your own problem, which the third person cannot solve! Kannada daily “Vijaya Karnataka” had published an article named “BHARATHAVANNU BAYYIRI; BOOKER PADEYIRI” -when “the white tiger” had got the Booker. We are well opened about problems. But we feel shy to show the world the achievements of ours! Moreover, we see people around who have become very popular just because they hate their own culture/ .*isms and support the others! Same is the case in “Slumdog millionaire.” Typical India is highlighted. As far as editing...

Recession, inflation, unemployement, etc.

I had been to my village in the last January, as I had got my semester holidays. Till then, I was in a sphere of people who were always discussing about all global economic meltdown, job-cuts, placements getting dried and all. So, I thought these holiday times would be the best times to refresh myself from these 'sensitive' discussions. I live in such a village where even BSNL, Vodafone the leading mobile networks don't have their network. People living in such a place won't be aware of these 'hot issues.' -I presumed.

The farm-owners were searching for efficient front line labours, but the labours were not intended to work in the farm. Whereas the road-infrastructure work, labours were dying to get into. FYI, the salaries in these two were almost the same. Moreover, working in farm wasn’t putting any responsibilities on t...

Enthusiasm and responsibilty.

Imagine your childhood. When you had not yet entered the teenage- you were too enthusiastic about the nature. Unless and otherwise you get a warning from your parents, you were busy in your notorious playings, 'childish' quarrels. Totally, you were eagerly doing all the activities. Time has come now that you have to 'warn' the small children. ie, you have responsibility now. You will never go front to play in muds or quarrel with your neighbor friend for a pencil. Because, you are now 'matured.' When I was coming to Mysore from my native, my friend Praveen quoted: "Maturity overtakes enthusiasm." Yes, I strongly agree with that. One cannot learn the things around so easily after he crosses the young(enthusiastic) age. When you have to 'drive' a vehicle, say a passenger bus, the 'driving force' inside cannot be utilised to drive in a crazy way;because you are responsible for the others lives. What do you say???
