Rahman made it in Oscar - I am glad and sad

 

I am so glad and overjoyed that finally Indians are recognized in a global stage for pure and sheer talent. Though the marketing and lobbying would have made the extra bit for the trash to millionaire stories success in the Academy award ceremony where the global village was tuned into the Kodak Theatre happenings.

 

My joy is unlimited but equally saddened that master talents such as that of Rahman had to be recognized for a movie which is not the best of his life…he has done far too many better ones in the past. But BBC headline read that “British film Slumdog Millionaire wins eight Oscars including best director and best picture, while Kate Winslet wins best actress.” (still colonial…in its tone ???)

 

As an Indian, I feel we lost it in the whole game plan of Hollywood entry into Indian movie making business … probably that’s the main reason that this movie is hyped up but Still ….I AM OVERJOYED THAT INDIAN TALENT AND INDIANS ARE RECOGNISED AND CELEBRATED.

 

Lets not carried away by the hype but truly work on our competitive advantage…. Salam India!!! Jai Hind!!!

 

 

Warm Regards,

Christus

Cardinal Says Future With Obama Is Gethsemane Affirms That Life Cannot be Controlled by Government WASHINGTON , D.C. , NOV. 19, 2008 ( Zenit.org ).- The decline in respect for human life has had “catastrophic effects” on the unity and integrity of the United States, which are evidenced by the presidential election, says a Vatican official. Baltimore-native Cardinal James Stafford, major penitentiary of the Apostolic Penitentiary, affirmed this in a lecture on "Humanae Vitae" last Thursday at the Catholic University of America. His lecture, “Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II: Being True in Body and Soul,” pointed out the need for Catholics to return to the true values of marriage and human dignity faced to the current challenges. “Because man is a sacred ! element of secular life,” the cardinal said, “[…] a person’s life cannot ultimately be controlled by government.” "On Nov. 4, 2008, America suffered ...

Bioethics and the Myth of Relativism

Interview with Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk By Giovanni Patriarca PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, JUNE 17, 2009 ( Zenit.org ).- A neuroscientist and ethicist is underlining the need to base bioethics in moral principles, and is affirming that even people who profess relativism count on certain absolutes in life. Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk is the director of education at the Philadelphia-based National Catholic Bioethics Center . He writes a monthly column for The Catholic Herald titled "Making Sense out of Bioethics." In this interview with ZENIT, he discusses some of the need to base bioethics in absolute moral principles in light of recent events related to his field. ZENIT: In recent years bioethics seems to have become a battleground where many interest groups try to impose their political views separated from any consideration of the field's moral foundations. The 2005 U.N. Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights could be considered a starting po...

FW: Confronting Your Industry Culture

One of the blunders I use to make… I do make sometimes NOW.   But I have to change now…. No room for Situational Ethics….Only Absolute Standards…No relative measures.   Warm Regards, Christus ---------------------------------------------------------------------------         Confronting Your Industry Culture   "Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. "It is written," he said to them, 'My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers'" (Matt 21:12-13). Sometimes a corporate culture dictates the way business is conducted because it was established years before. We simply inherit whatever the accepted practice is. Some of these practices violate a biblical principle. For instance, some businesses withhold payment ...
