After the movie got released, although the world celebrated its success, in India, many were angered by the way India was projected in the movie. Even Amitab ji got agitated by the way they portrayed the movie.
I must admit the scene where the boy comes out with shit covered is disgusting, but I really do not see a point in getting agitated. I would say, whatever that has been portrayed in that movie is 100% true. There are even worse things that are happening in India. Thank god that Danny Boyle has not come across those things.
Why are we ashamed to say that India has its drawbacks? Every country has its drawbacks, but a constructive country strives hard to make itself better, and we Indians fight with people who point us the truth.
What do politicians and celebrities know about the hardships that each Indian is facing everyday?
Charities and donations does not bring them any closer to reality.
Flesh trade is still active in India. Cultural and communal riots still take place in India. Children are starved and are used as a tool for begging. There is religious differences, caste difference, and if these were not enough, even economic stature difference.
This year when I visited India, I saw a mother begging with a baby in her hand. The baby was looking no better than the famine struck children in Darfur. Before I could take a picture of her son, the mother covered him and took him away.
So my dear people, face it, I know many have their patriotic feeling running high, but that alone is not enough. That movie is a fantastic movie, take it as an eye opener, accept the truth and work towards changing it.

My latest craze is to write a book and get a booker prize. When I said writing I remember that I am now writing something close to a book.
1. For writing a book one does a lot of research on what he/ she writes-Myself for sure have done enough research on what I am writing.
2. In a novel, the author uses several pages just to explain that a person is sleeping,-I have done that in my writing, infact I have this repeating every now and then
3. The work must be original and captivating- My work is original and captivating for some, no offence but I found God of small things the most boring book, so I think I'll pass in this too.
4.The author must belong to a common wealth country or UK or those small islands up there- I qualify easily for that :)
5. All I need is to find a publisher, but that 'll not be a problem ;)
so, what do you think of submitting my
PhD THESIS for Booker!!!!
