My sinciere apologies for not wrirting in for two weeks . My schedule had been too hectic leaving me virtually no time to bog down my thoughts . It's also interesting to note the density of news made within this period of time .
The newspapers were splashed with the images of this and the media was on it's heels monitoring every event unfolding - The oscars
Slumdog millionaire won the oscar for best movie while Mr.Rahman bagged the oscar for the original song , jai ho , which features in the same movie , truly a proud moment for all of us !! But could we have won this most coveted award without the pillar of a British director ? what made this movie stand out from all the other "biggies" like curious case of benjamin button , or milk ?? I , personally feel that this historic moment could not have been created without a English director . What else could explain this better than the rejection of better movies like Lagaan or TZP . Did we deserve to win an Oscar by depicting the penury of India ?
though the winning of the best documentary " smile pinki " was justified , slumdog millionaire could have done less . Mr . Rahman too admits that "jai ho" was not his best creation .But it is remarkable to note the journey of two kids , who barely know to brush their teeth , undertaking this errand and facing the entire world with grace and simplicity . I wonder if they would believe that they stood in front of entire Hollywood , once they become a little older !!!!!
The other big event which dominated the headlines was the auction of "bapu's" belongings , But Mr Mallaya, the superman of the day, the highest bidder reckons to present these to the government . now why would this be ??
Well , I am looking forward to seeing " pink panther 2 " featuring Humorous Steve Martin and trying to finish john grisham's " the appeal ".
Until next time
Gracias !!
