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,

Quotes from the movie 'Interstellar' - to ponder

We’ve always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we’ve just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we’ve barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us.” - Cooper ===================  “Maybe we’ve spent too long trying to figure all this out with theory. Love is the one thing that transcends time and space.” - Amelia Brand ==================== “Murphy’s law doesn’t mean that something bad will happen. It means that whatever can happen, will happen.” - Cooper ================= Cooper: You’re a scientist, Brand. Brand: So listen to me when I say love isn’t something that we invented. It’s observable. Powerful. It has to mean something. Cooper:

B. I. A. K - Brother I Am kONFUSED ( Bishop Prays for Obama's Conversion )

The majority of the Americans voted for an outspoken and charismatic leader in Obama who claims to be a Christian by faith but supports death in all his belief. Christ came to give us life and life in fullness but here we have a leader who is against life. I am not a fanatic and I don’t want to sound like a fanatic. But the real issues today are not the symptoms we see such as AIDS, poverty in third world nations and recession in the developed & developing nations, civil war or what not. I used the word the symptoms because the real issues are more on the principles and beliefs that we have as our guiding pillars. If we believe in things which leads to moral degradation and death then what it produces only will lead to chaos and total callousness ending in death.   I am not suggesting that one should ever go against the elected representative of people – the leader but one can strive to represent the truth in the right perspective in right forums in a more amicable way whic
