It happened to watch this movie "Slum Dog Millionaire" on sunday. Apart from all the critics reviews, i just want to present my views on this movie.
After few minutes watching the movie first impresion I got is..."oh! its all about tyhe situations when how Jamal known the answers of the questions asked..". In most of the scenarios, i had closed my eyes many times with different emotions shattered in the mind.It took the audience in the streets of Mumbai and on the roads of life of a slum children.
It makes everyone to think about the lifes of orphan childrens who roam on roads, whom we pass by ignoring daily in our routine life.although everyone knows the pain and harships in growth and upcoming of orphans,every one just ignores thinking they cant do anything anyways.But when we watch this movie it just touch our hearts and wakesup the emotions we burried inside.
For the explanation to the question, "the name of the famous film star acted in the fillm Zanzeer?", it showed how we people are flattered and admire CINE-HERO's and how extreme people act for satisfying their love and favoritism towards them.
For the scenario which showed the result of WAR between Hindus and Muslims, was very heart touching exploring the truths and darkness that gets into poeple lifes.Their suffering will not be lowered by any compensations given to them.Who fulfill the emptyness in their lifes? Why common man suffer from this religious fights? Who take their responsibility? The Government? or atleast common man, who escaped from the incidents? In such situations we read in newspapers and follow TV channels about what is happening next and next sitting in home and thinking "Oh Thank God!we are safe!" and atmost, most of us perform a formal remembrance meetings for the victims in 2 minutes silence. Aopart from many helping hands of many social welfare organizations, the los they incur is never can be filled. The little Jamal showed his kind heart in the rain to give shade for another human being(Latika) who is also the victim of the war. This raises a question...how many of us giving such a helping hand to our near by needed?
At younger stage Jamal and his brother Saleem showed an example what is called "struggle for existance". It showed how they utilised their intelligence and common sense for living...It showed their big dreams in different stages of life.
For the question "Who invented the revolver?", i thought oh i dont know many of the inventors of the things i use in daily life activities. Very funny!!!
The movie made viewers feel all the emotions like love, angry, embrace etc etc. which took the main part of the success of the film.
The whole commitment Jamal shows for his relationship with Latika was touching deeper in heart.He never had doubted whether she in return loves him or wants him. He always thought her as his betterhalf and companion of his life regardless of how she is living or where she is grown up. What mattered him always is whether she is safe or good and always tried to make her happy upto his extent. It showed an exmaple of unconditional , pure, true and devine LOVE.
And Saleem, as a brother and elder of the family , his character was well tailor made and his action showed it all. The sacrifies he gives for his brother, the care and safety he think about his brother rather than his self reflected of the mentality of an elder one in a family.
Some parts of the film are unrealistic but it made viewers walk through the reality behind what they see and ignore in their daily routine.
Hats Off to the Story Writer, Screenplay, Editor, Director and the whole team involved in making of this film.The music also played much role to make viewers get involved in the situations with much more deeper sense.
I would like to say one more thing that there are so many great Indian movies which flahed light on many dark areas of lives and many dark areas of social issues.But they are not much focused to the world as this movie is being hit all around the world.And its true.
Thank oyu readers for having patience to read this prolonged review on this movie.I thought to provide some more but this may lead you away from reading much more sentences if i extend.So, I close here.
Happy Time!!! Happy Days!!!

Give your 100% in Relationships
A Small Story…
A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed.
The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.
That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.
Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like friendship,love, employer-employee relationship etc.,
Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully

Change
From the pain comes the dream.
From the dream comes the vision.
From the vision come the people.
From the people comes the power.
From this power comes the change.
In every forest, on every farm, in every orchard on earth, it's what's under the ground that creates what's above the ground. That's why placing your attention on the fruits that you have already grown is futile. You cannot change the fruits that are already hanging on the tree. You can, however, change tomorrow's fruits. But to do so, you will have to dig below the ground and strengthen the roots.
So, change can be bought by getting change in yourself first. Never try to chaneg this world.... any change that has to happen is the change in "YOU".Unless you change, you can't change anything else in this world.
According to Karma Yoga, the action one has done cannot be destroyed until it has borne its fruit; no power in nature can stop it from yielding its results. If I do an evil action, I must suffer for it; there is no power in this universe to stop or stay it.
Similarly, if I do a good action, there is no power in the universe which can stop its bearing good results. The cause must have its effect; nothing can prevent or restrain this.
The future is only the extension of the present. Do your best now, to get the best "tomorrow".
Have a nice day!

Happiness
Realize that true happiness lies within your.
Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside.
Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting but only in giving.
Reach out.Share.Smile.Hug.
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on other, without getting a few drops on yourself.
Its in your attitude to look good and happiness....... If your attitude allows then you will able to see the same beauty in this tree too as you find the beauty in a bouquet of Red Roses .
So its all lies in your vision and attitude.
Change your attitude so that you are ready to see the beauty in every one in this world and in every where of this nature.

What makes the Difference?
Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing.
He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer.
He smiled to think of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?" The young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing starfish in the ocean." "I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?" "The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die."
"But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!" The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."
There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can become aware of that gift, we gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future. We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our stars wisely and well, the world will be blessed.

Life
Life before us says us that there is long path, more and more to get.I have to exist in this world at any cost to get all what Life wants to gift to me. I have to struggle for my existance.
I lead my life with many dreams and hopes. In many situations i learn some thing new. Every time i has to remake my attitude towards life. I got to change my attitude towards people. People, they come across in various modes.
I have to accept every hardle that comes in my way. Some hardles taught me lessons, some hardles troubled me, while some hardles disappointed me. But some hardles challenged me.
Whenever a challenge stood before me, it make me think myslef low and make me lose my confidence. I feared some times and I doubted about my own skills. But the positive hope thinking that "Nothing happens BAD to me" is the only attitude that make me stand before the challenges. I standup in front and welcomed all the outcomes of it. When i believed that nothing is going to be BAD, there raised a self-confidense to accept whatever comes is the only "GOOD" left.
Even then if something unwanted happened it never looked so bad because i was expecting it as positive. I expected but never disappaointed. "Lets happen what next is..." is the kind of state of mind i was holding.
I belive in God. It gave me positive strength to dream big.Dreams can be turned to true when we believe that they can be achieved.
I always believed that God wants me to learn something, and this was the test given to me to pass. Everytime i prepare myself to pass by distincton. Good GOD, he never made me failed in any exam till now. And thats what is called the LIFE.
Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated - OSHO

Path to Liberation
We the "Human Beings", social animals....slaves to desires!!!
We struggle for livelyhood , we work hard to satisfy our desires and wants. we fight with fellow beings, we give pain to fellow living beings. Its all for satisfying our sensory desires.
When we desire for an object sprouts in the mind, it craves for it and the sensory experience that will result by experiencing it. If the person is unable to obtain of his desire then he becomes angry, and when he succeeds in getting it he is intent on protecting it resulting in greed for material possesions and their upkeep.
Thus these three - desire, anger and greed are the cause of an individual's downfall as the mind's swayed by one or the other.
We always ignore ourself towards attaining greater value for the soul and always strive for sesory satisfactions.
The sense organs by nature are outward bound and the self can be realised only by withdrawal of the senses from engagement with the objects. By turning the mind inward with the aid of spiritual practices, the mind will attain one-pointed concentration and grasp the blissful, eternal self within.

Conversations or Questions?
Being busy with heavy work schedules, these days i was not spending much time with any of my friends. Many of them understand the current situation in IT industry taht is not allowing to chat at office hours, but still some friends compalining that in anyway i have to make some time for them...:) Thats true actually.
Work schedules or whatever we involve in and become busy, but we must be concerned about friends. Even if we meet them its for very short time. And as we meet we start questioning each otehr as how are they? what they are doing? and just enquire all about their current life.And in between we answer to some questions posed by them too and say good bye and run in hurry to continue our daily "routine" work.
Yesterday too its happened to meet a friend online.He started questioning.I started answering.After some questions he started asking me "why i am not talking with him?". Then i said him, see we have not been conversing anything till now, its an question hour running between us.Its because in a hurry that any one of us may go offline, we just posing questions to each other thinking that we are caring or concerning about each other.
But we are forgetting the concept of conversation these days. Earlier when we are in college or after studies or at time of searching jobs, we use to send Emails concerning about our friends activities. We use to check mails for replies from friends. Now a days, we check mails for any job requirements or call letters or just to forward any funny mails to friends.
The culture of SMS and Chatting actually getting people nearer but they are erasing the communication or rapport and fellow feeling between them. These communication channels can never transport our feelings of sympathetic understanding. And the intense of the relationship is decreasing to very lower levels.
Conversation these days had became more mechanical and artificial which must actually be binded with emotional content.
Somedays back i even suggested by one of my best friend that not to disclose any of my personal issues about me to any of one whom i believe them as friends, as this may bring troubles for me. I was wondered and asked myself that what actually the conversations between frineds must include about? When friends meet, shall we start discussing on Politics? or on the downfall of IT? or on the Share Markets? Why should they all come between friends.
I strongly believe that if we are friends then we have to talk about our lifes. How we are coming out of problems.How we are goign in the life and with which attitudes.we have to think how to make our friends feel comfort when consoled in times of disappointment.We must chat about how to go forward in our careers. What the gifts they gave or took on their birthdays...Tell about the medicines they took which cured their daily or regular sickness...Share jokes they cut on their collegues or at work place...and much more to chat.
Anyways these all are my opinions.... May be after some years the word "conversation" will be replaced with "chatting" in the dictionaries.May god bless all poeple with more topics to chat about than regualr "hi how r u?" 's.
