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.

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 ...

Bird hit aircraft…But I had the Eagle’s wing to secure

Bird hit aircraft during take off and the Eagle's wing safety net…Trust in the Lord – the only mantra why I am alive to type this… What do I blame for today's (04 April 2011) eventful take off …the events that unfolded before the flight and look at it in a superstitious manner or should I thank God for the smart and wise pilot who brought the aircraft (Airbus 319 AI 507 TVM – MAA) to grounding halt by applying emergency breaks as he was speeding on the run way to take off. Will you call this a miracle or not. I would. It was just a small bird hit, which could have gone unnoticeable. However, he stopped for a quick check and then engineers declared the aircraft not fit for flight and grounded it. What a sound judgment on the pilot's part. The thoughts that ran in my mind and the reflection are what making me intriguing and make my heart adore the Eagle who bore the aircraft to safety – The Almighty Himself. The flight disaster that which was averted today would h...

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...
