Yesterday i watched Slum dog millionaire, have to agree that i was very much impressed by the bitter truth shown in the movie. But also felt bad that it took an outsider to show us the bitter truth,the dark side. Why haven't any Indian directors tried this,when will they gather the guts to direct movies with the reality as the story............Y cant they stop or reduce making the same movies with the hero and heroine running around trees and singing some senseless duet and start making movies that make some sense. There is always an argument saying that the hollywood movies are considered better than the Bollywood ones, well if the bollywood directors start making movies like dor then even it will be considered as good, instead of adding too many songs with too many actors dancing, y cant they put in some good story that makes some sense.
There are so many quality directors in India with so much potential, why didn't anyone think about telling the dreadful story of the orphaned kids living in dharvi, why are they so busy in capturing bandra and juhu, showing the hiranandani area .
I was telling my sister this movie's story, by just knowing the jist of the movie she got angry and said that 'should they give so many awards to the movie that has shown all the bad things in India'?...........Thats when I thought why are people so reluctant to agree the bitter truth . Until and unless one agrees that truth obviously we tend to remain as if that does not exist at all and as the mere existence of it itself is not accepted obvously no remedy or solution will be thought for it and that remains for ever the bitter truth of our country which we the people of India who are very much comfortable at our respective homes are not ready to believe or accept.

Hooligans/ Barbarians
Finally i am back again after many days , had too many assignments and presentation to cope up with so couldn post anything till today. Mean while my very good freind Buss Buss as i call her is getting married,which has left me in a very big danger.
Buss buss nd I met each other in 10th std, nd tat was the only year tat we studied together and became wat others call best freinds nd we call best enemies. Well we call our self best enemies coz may be the amount of fights that happens between us nd the intensity of those fights can only be between 2 worst enemies. We literally kick each other and behave like the hooligans or barbarians wat ever u wanna call us.....
But ofcourse no outsider was allowed to interfere in the fight, and after the big fight we were served with the best meal or brunch by her mom and then the full day chatting used to start.........oh im gonna miss all these once she gets married nd goes of......cha y should gals always go away wen they get married............
well an othe r debatable topic...........ll think and then post something on it. For now tats it........

Helpful Strangers
Sometimes wen you are in deep trouble and u think that you wouldn't get help from anywhere and suddenly some stranger comes and help, might be a person who is riding or an auto driver.
Once I was riding back to home from college wen suddenly my vehicle stopped in between the road, i thought that there might be some trouble in the vehicle but then i realised later that there was no fuel. My bad luck there was no petrol bunk anywhere near by and i didn have the stamina to push the vehicle till the petrol bunk which was pretty far, and to add on to my troubles my vehicle had stopped in a slum kind of area which made me even more frightened and i didn have currency in my cell phone to call any one and it was getting dark.
Then like a miracle came a saviour, a person who saw my vehicle stopping in the mid of the road and me struggling with the bike while passing by, came back and asked enaithamma yake gadi illi nilskondu ninthe(what happened y r u standing here with ur vehicle)? I told him my problem, after listening to me he said ond can athva bottle idre kodi petrol thand kodthini(give me a bottle if u have i will get u the petrol), but i didnt have anything ,then he asked me to be standing thr ,made his wife stand with me and went and got me petrol from the bunk by taking a can from the bunk person.
He and his wife were very kind to me, the lady told me not to worry and make sure that i reach home everyday befor it gets dark and also to take some other alternative route.

Turmoil
She sat thinking why things like these happen only to me always, Y do things that she thought impossible always happened only in her life.....Why???????????
. She never thought that these things would ever happen to her, she thought she was one practical person who would never fall in love, forget falling in love she wouldnt even think about any person, but then this person who is he , why is he troubling her like this, is he troubling her ???? yes he is how happy she was before speaking to him, infact she is happy now also, but then this happiness is something different. something which she never felt before, she is happy that someone likes her, admires her......but will she be able to tell him that she too has fallen in love with him. No ....she doesn't have that much of guts,thats the reason she keeps ignoring him wenever speaks about it.
Finally she decided that she will tell him that even she likes him. She came home full happy that day, till then she was in such a confusion that she used to be in a bad mood which all of her friends had noticed and questioned also , but as usual she was never able to xpress herself. but on that day ,she was happy again, she was back to herself which she had lost in the confusion for the past few days.
But her happiness did not remain for longer time....she was waiting for his call that night ,waiting to tell him finally .........but wen the call came she could not tell him anything at all. She was late as usual, he was getting married to someonelse,but kept on telling her that she would be the love of his life..................

Relationship
When i got this in my mail, I felt tat i should share with atleast few people so im posting it here.Hope everyone ll like it.
Boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage.They were a Loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes.When the boy was Around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle Open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep It in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot The matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by Its colour and drank it all.
It happened to be a poisonous medicine Meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed the mother Hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She Was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child ,
He looked at his wife and uttered just five words.
QUESTIONS:
1. What were the five words?
2. What is the implication of this story?
ANSWER : The husband just said "I am with you Darling"
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive Behaviour.
The Child is dead. He can never be brought back to life.
There is no point In finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to Keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she Needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her. If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would Be much fewer problems in the world. "A journey of a thousand miles Begins with a single step." Take off all your envies, jealousies, Unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are Actually not as difficult as you think.

Airlines our usual adda
In our final year of degree me nd my frnd R were known to bunk classess. Thr wasnt even a single day in full year when we have attended all the classess. The second home for us whr we went after bunking was Airlines hotel on Lavelle road.Its an old place whr the waiters have been working for almost 15 years and probably are the most arrogant waiters for the first time visitors. Well for us it was our second home till I joined MBA and R got a job,so all the waiters over thr were extremely friendly nd good to us. I call it our second home for us because we used to sit thr whole day i.e, from morning 10 to evening 6 for me and may be till 9 for R.
But now the only time we get to visit our previous second home is on weekends only , but the time tat we spent thr can never be forgotten. I still wonder how come we never used to get bored even though sit for the whole day without having anything to do...........
