A million internal combustion engine powered machines pump through the country's arteries everyday! However those helmet clad self proclaimed cool dudes and adorning huge Gucci sunglasses, probably even more bigger than their face racing around like ninjas population are blocking the Aorta and the normalties might just run a severe cardiac arrest!
Only after I got my licence did I pay attention to these bikers! They race around the streets like Valentino Rossi thinking for every dangerous cut they make, they'll get brownie points and move up on the list of the deadliest bikers in India! Dont worry, once you ride a bike, you're stamped on your forehead,"Yes I'm deadly! I probably caused disasters worse than 9/11!"
For once I actually wish the laws of Physics could be violated! For every degree of banking they should lose as much grip as possible! Only then will those single minded fools learn how to drive straight and not rock around like a speedboat from Mexico! And no its not only the CBR's and Hayabusa's but people actually perform it on Splendours, CT-100s and Activas! Oh yes! Now is that talent? LOL! Then even Justin Beiber can sing! The point is there's no point in showing off so much by revving that throttle, performing a wheelie! Go burn the rubber on some lonely asphalt!
Then the ones with those huge bikes, the eliminators thinking those are in the league of Harley Davidson! Hmmmm....LAME! I actually crashed my car into one of them! And guess what the guy thought! I'm at Monza, curving into the dangerous Ascari chicane! Casey Stoner is on my ass, I gotta pick up the speed no matter if I'm joining some highway at the end of the road! I've gotta stop Casey, no matter what! Zoooom he went and his ephemeral success was suddenly brought to light! BRAKE MAAR! What's more he was riding with someone else who scratched his back, and he's asking me for cash! This is exactly the point where your ego stands tall! But wait a minute, its not my fault! I'm getting home, sorry to interrupt with your race and you're making me pay because you crashed out?
The other day I was riding on the Eastern Expressway! Foul mood means I treat my car like the bikers! Even nanometres are scrutinized and lanes are cut like warm bread! Anyway I was pretty fast! At that time I was feeling a perfectly ambivalent state of mind, because driving was taking it away! I was in between the 1st and the 2nd lane and saw a little gap opening up! And to my horror, a biker with a pillion rider! If I had made my move, I surely would've killed two people but without any regrets! Braked hard, good enough to probably burn my discs! I honked like mad! Yea when I'm irritated I just keep honking, probably continuously to drain my battery until they move out of the way! However this guy was adamant! He wouldnt budge! And for the rest of the road I was stuck between a truck and bus! Heavenly feeling!! :P
They wear those Kimi Raikkonen replica helmets! Too bad not even 1% of Kimi's skill is transferred on such mediocre actions! You've been embellished with man's 3rd best creation though funny it doesnt give more than 40% efficiency! Make good use of it rather than running over people! Desultory performances are often condoned even by remotely smart people!
I hate bikers, probably more than Justin Beiber and Williams Sisters and Sergio Busquets and Tom Henning Ovrebo and others on my hitlist! Dont delineate something to hate, something extremely caustic to your ownself! Be safe, ride safe and let our cuspids work with enough efficacy to leave the veins from coagulation! Cheers!

The Great Indian J(oke)udicial System!
Order Order!
Lets take a sneak peak into the World's most ridiculed judicial system! India has the biggest constitution in the World. Something to be proud of? Ummmm, crime rates are probably accelerating faster than Buggati Veyron! The root of the problem actually lies in the consistency of these rules! They're incomprehensive like English to a Bihari! The ones who drafted it, took 3 years to do it! They just forgot India has a life after they die! They did leave us with the procedure of amendment, just that its too complex, even more difficult than understanding Neurosurgery!
Anyway remembering the most remote version of Civics, the Executive is to be differentiated from the Judiciary! There should be no interference! Thats the ground rule! Okay funny because one guy makes the law the other guy executes it! They're talking like they're absolute experts on how things work! Good for them! We'll stick to the ground rule and deep dive into the judiciary wing!
Procedures! India is a country with procedure. Everything goes according to procedure! No no, we have a lot of time on our hands! We have to do everything by the book and then get fucked by the book as well! I'm not asking you to break the rules, but we can bend the rules to speed up proceedings. There are nearly 30 million pending cases in India, 30 million! Thats more than double the population of Mumbai! And we're still gonna do it by the book! Apparently even if all courts work day and night, 24 hours, they'll clear all the cases in another 320 years! Yes thats correct, 320 years! My grand grand grand children will be dead by then! And we're still gonna do it by the book!
Paperwork! The day India shifts to electronic systems, I'll probably stop taking the case of those poor Williams sisters! Everything has to be on paper! Come on guys seriously? We can save jungles by saving on those useless junk of archives that you're making for nothing! Further reference for cases can be done on computers! Why arent we using modern systems? Why are we still stuck on stone age? Adam and Eve would've had a facepalm moment by now! And then they come preaching about Global Warming!
The court is adjourned. We should have the electric chair for the retard who says this again and again for no reason. The court is adjourned for this break, that break, for the day, for 2 weeks, 10 weeks! Sit at home and enjoy your freaking food! You're here to speed up justice not speed up the list of cases!
Its really saddening to know this. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and High Court draw maximum salary in a bid to keep them off outside influence. Now even with all the government benefits, their salary cumulates to around Rs. 40,000 a month! What a JOKE! 40 grand a month for the loser who cant speed up justice! And then you say he should'nt be prone to outside influence! Two ways of looking at this is dishonorable impeachment in public or stepping it up to actually keep their coffers full of cash!
India doesnt even have a fully defined WITSEC plan! If you're not gonna protect your witness in an extreme high profile case then you cant blame him to go hostile! Duh! You would have done that yourself! I mean seriously you want me to step and put my life on stake for the sake of truth in an occurrence where I was just present for no fault of mine? Sure, I'd even want to sleep with some 3rd grade mallu porn actress! The Police lose key evidence thanks to negligence and not centralized evidence archiving is present in any city! Come on guys, wake up!
I feel for people who actually look up to these money making boulders for justice. No one really cares about what is happening. A girl gets raped today, she finally gathers some courage to file the case. The inspector might be bought off. If the case manages to go ahead to the court it'll come after some years, probably 10-15 when the girl is either dead or even over her trauma. And then she has to go through the whole procedure again. If the guy is charged with the crime, he can pay his way out by getting an expensive lawyer compared to the court hired magistrate. He could pay the judge off. He could pay a bail and be let off easily. So much wait for such an end? Yea sure its fitting!
Qasab is still enjoying the cherries of the Indian Judicial Ice cream he eats everyday. They cant find a hangman to hang him? Good enough to burn 4 crores on him though! Jessica Lall case took 7 years to bring the guilty to justice. The legal loopholes were exploited beyond all means to seek a parole which took another two weeks to ratify by the High Court! He got a 30 day parole! The issue went to the Supreme Court and in 2010 the sentence has been upheld, Jessica Lall was murdered in 1999! 11 years and the case is still on! Superb work guys! Funnily the guilty were also almost acquitted!
Here's a little line from there,"The police failed to recover the weapon which was used to fire at Jessica Lal as well as prove their theory that the two cartridges, emptied shells of which were recovered from the spot, were fired from one weapon,; “all three eyewitnesses listed by the police in its charge sheet, namely, Shiv Lal Yadav, an electrician at Tamarind Court, actor Shyan Munshi and Karan Rajput, a visitor at the restaurant that night, turning hostile during the trial."
The Bhopal Gas Tragedy totally adds to it! A leakage of Methyl Isocyanite killed 2300 people in 1984. The legal issue went on and on and on and on and on until 2010. It was because of a takeover of the Union Carbide Factory. And finally 8 ex employes were charged with $2000 fine and 2 years of imprisonment for death due to negligience. 25 years later! The case has hit a silver jubilee and all the families got was a raw deal! Wow, I'm proud of my judicial system!
My dad was a lawyer by profession, probably the best decision he made 35 years ago was to give up law when he was a junior magistrate. Lawyers are assets of an country, only in this place they're too much of a liability! Everyday millions die with the hopes that they will make it big in this profession. The laws are lax, the people enforcing the laws are lax, the people are killed over million times again and again because of this ridiculous inefficient system.
Its not like I hate India, its just that they're not giving me too many reasons to love it! I'm just writing on what I see. Tomorrow if I demand justice, yea I trust my Judicial System so very much that they'll give me the just decision, after years of paperwork, adjourned courts, following stupid procedures, and yea, finally my grand grand grand kids will see the justice for me! Cheers!

After Effects of FSAE!
I could account half my life's achievements to Orion Racing India! Probably the major attitude shaping came from ORI! But then everything comes with a price! No no I did not lose my girlfriend because of FSAE since FSAE has been termed as,"When you just cant get rid of a girlfriend!". These things are potential relationship killers! No I did not lose touch with my family as well! I just felt like I'm introduced to a new world and everytime you look at a car or even drive one, your mind just goes like the movies where the mechanism starts animating your mind!
Initially the phase seemed really good! Yea chics were impressed when they see your Business Card and when you keep talking about Germany and stuff! I wasnt doing it to impress them anyway! So finally when you learn a lot application becomes binding! And you finally apply your new found knowledge to those menacing machines and a sense of satisfaction then touches you! Oh yes, your myths busted and probably a smile breaks on your face thinking how dumb you were to either believe whatever someone said back then or not applying general physics to understand the working!
Anyway, Claude Rouelle told me,"The more you know, the more you dont know!". Pragmatists will totally agree with this line! I did too! I attended his seminar and I really have a feeling he's injected me with a concentrated dose of Vehicle Dynamics that now too much application can be detrimental to self, might even cause permanent mental trauma! Infact the fever started ever since I got my certificate that day! On my way back I had taken the Volvo with "Air Suspension"! Wow! The bus was rocking and I was actually thinking about the roll frequency! Everytime the bus braked or accelerated the squatting and diving came to my mind, weight transfer on the wheels, thinking which ones were getting worn out faster!
Funnily this is only the starters! Things are about to get worse! Some of you'll might have serious facepalm moments! Anyway here it goes, I took the purple Kinglong bus once! I was really happy that we had Air Conditioned buses in that scorching heat! However all my happiness was about to be shifted into reverse gear! They were Chinese! Damn! What dampers are they using? I sat in the bus and it zoomed off the stop! Automatic gears! Sweet! Just that the bus couldnt take the load when the momentum broke on braking! Moving on, extra soft springs! Great takes the bump real good, but what about the vibrations then? I'm sure they used the damper to get rid of the Transient state but then the dampers are Chinese! Steady state amplitude becomes too high to make the ride uncomfortable!
I was never a patient of motion sickness! But the extreme roll frequencies just made me one! God, dont they use an ARB? You're sitting in the bus and you can actually feel your blood going from left to right 100 times a second! I could hear my heart beating! Finally I get off the bus only to see the check valve was again Chinese! What a disappointment!
I finally met a friend of mine after a long time! We're sitting at an exclusive coffee outlet and talking. However my mind races like the Ferrari! I could see all cars moving, and suddenly the sky was filled with mathematical equations predicting various damping equations and temperatures and kinds of chassis and what not! Some cars looked stable, some looked they were made for BAJA, some looked like they can be driven only the Expressway! I could hardly have the 500 bucks coffee! My friend's best attempts to talk me out of it were probably the most failed ones in life! I'm observing the tires and my mind smirks,"Ha, he's using JK! He's not going over a year and half with them! Buy Michelin!". Then you have others with real bad weight transfer issues causing even the rims to bend bad! Shit, do they even design the car properly?
Anyway I took a Hyundai car once to some place. These guys actually believe soft is good! Okay I prefer softer springs but not the ones that have their static deflection equal to the maximum compression! Then you feel like you're riding a boat on the road! Streamlined stuff! On the other end of swing balance is Maruti Suzuki! Extra hard springs so that your car remains stable but your ass doesnt! You might actually come out with a sore ass after a long ride! My Indigo has some hybrid of Japanese and Chinese technologies! Initially it was as brilliant as the Japanese tech! Super sexy dampers and springs and stuff! In 1 year I feel I'm riding a bullock cart now, probably worse than Chinese! Never trust Tata, Golden rule of life!
Then I was off to Tiger point once! Where my beloved Indigo got stuck on a steep slope! Shifted into one, revved the engine to 4000 rpm and let the clutch go and boom the car was up the slope! Then I could smell the tears from my engine! And another animation comes to light! The one of the piston rings getting their asses rubbed against the cylinder walls! Aah, they get worn out, engine oil is boiled and my intake charge enters the crankcase! Aah, I'm gonna need some Positive Crankcase Ventilation! Probably a new set of piston rings, a better tension fan belt!
Worst was during exams! I'm waiting outside the cabin of my life's deadliest professor for the deadliest vivas of my life! When my mind should be thinking all about engines, this car walks up near me. I happen to glance at the tires, by now its a reflex action! Apollo! God help him! Then you look at the tire pressure! I'm sure he was running low on it looking at the shoulder! It was like almost pressed to the ground! And the world opens up again! Shit his tire shoulders are tired, what about the contact patch! We should get a pressure sensitive strip! Tire stiffness, all his suspension settings will be screwed!
These are times when I feel I should be admitted to Shutter Island! I have literally gone mad! My life has become something really animated! Hope I can find a good enough damper to kill the transient vibrations! Cheers!

And we are the better Engineers/Students!
After a few months when I finally got the chance to watch a movie in a theater, it turned out to be an absolute cracker! It wasn't exactly Oscar material but an attempt to uncover the truth! Engineering students(MU) would have a lot of expectations but I really felt they were dashed up down right left! The movie took a drastic wrong turn and it turned into some Indian soap opera which concentrated more on guy getting the girl stuff!
Anyway picking up from where Raju left, Engineering as it might seem is not a piece of cake! :P Mechanical Engineering has just won the award for the "Best Field to Rape Students" beating every other branch by a clear margin! No offence to the other fields! Talking as a whole the education system in India sucks! Clearly there's no reminder for it!
I was always told Indians make the best Engineers/Students abroad and looked forward to this famed system! And then a certain realisation came pinching so hard on the ass that you're just left hopeless, helpless and hairless! Sat at the top of hierarchy Mumbai University just seemed like another villain. Numerous abuses hurled at them are trampled and all you can do is "become the part of the system!"
And before all this drama started in my life, I was this hardcore Hindustani like some of my other friends who always believed we'll come back here after a stint with the Foreign countries! The roots shit and usual! Then I made a trip to Germany. Well it took me a split second to reconsider my decision. They clearly had the upper edge. 3 years we went to Germany and couldn't uproot a damn thing even design wise! And we are the better Engineers/Students!
For starters, Techmax seems to have been acting as a catalyst in this ridiculous process! Not that it saved my ass for 2.5 years but students over there use even better books than Tata McGraw Hill which are usually eating the dust flak in the library! The last time I picked up such a book from my library was to study about a monocoque! And we are the better Engineers/Students!
Coming to the main course, the ratta factor seems to work wonders! Get 40 be satisfied! Its actually a very relieving feeling when you see those numbers! Lol! Start studying a few days before the paper and manage to pass without actually knowing what the damn subject is all about! We can't apply unless we're given a chance to do so! Projects at every year should be made an integral part of the syllabus. I'd rather do a project than waste my time on EVS! Frankly all of us by now are quite some experts in Global Warming! Dont need a wake up call every now and then! Assignments are nicely copied! The University loves the small brown packets that come along with parents or the cash that comes with revaluation of a paper! And we are the better Engineers/Students!
Desserts - my favourite part of a meal are the profs! Bloody bad ass haram khors who feel the students should go through the same rigid and tragic procedure that he encountered back in 1975! Really he's wasting his 30 years ka experience enforcing the students to do what he did! One of them actually asked me to maintain a book! Students there actually crave to attend lectures. They do not have attendance issues at all, but bunking will only lead to non-understanding of subject = FAIL! This is not some comparison competition to show that they're better, it shows that we still suck in this rigid system which is considered as World Best! You have to actually run out there to talk to your prof and oh yes, he will give you that typical ego look, say a few harsh words and then usher you away citing you didn't attend sufficient lectures for solving the doubt! And we are the better Engineers/Students!
The one and only reason why we're in demand out there is our capacity to slog it out. Oh yes, this system makes us Expert Sloggers and can finish the job in due time without any hiccups! Oh we can also work weekends and overtime! :P
Imagine what happens when hard work and smart work atmosphere are combined together! Its like the ideal blend of air and fuel for the best power and efficiency of an Internal Combustion Engine! Now that's application! :P
Dont think we can change the system! We will always become a part of the system! My point here is you wanna make India a top country? Let's try and make it better for our kids! Let them have a future of application rather than memory power exams! Let us make them better Engineers/Students! ;)

Projects at every year should be made an integral part of the syllabus. I'd rather do a project than waste my time on EVS! Frankly all of us by now are quite some experts in Global Warming! Dont need a wake up call every now and then! Assignments are nicely copied! The University loves the small brown packets that come along with parents or the cash that comes with revaluation of a paper! And we are the better Engineers/Students!
Desserts - my favourite part of a meal are the profs! Bloody bad ass haram khors who feel the students should go through the same rigid and tragic procedure that he encountered back in 1975! Really he's wasting his 30 years ka experience enforcing the students to do what he did! One of them actually asked me to maintain a book! Students there actually crave to attend lectures. They do not have attendance issues at all, but bunking will only lead to non-understanding of subject = FAIL! This is not some comparison competition to show that they're better, it shows that we still suck in this rigid system which is considered as World Best! You have to actually run out there to talk to your prof and oh yes, he will give you that typical ego look, say a few harsh words and then usher you away citing you didn't attend sufficient lectures for solving the doubt! And we are the better Engineers/Students!
The one and only reason why we're in demand out there is our capacity to slog it out. Oh yes, this system makes us Expert Sloggers and can finish the job in due time without any hiccups! Oh we can also work weekends and overtime! :P
Imagine what happens when hard work and smart work atmosphere are combined together! Its like the ideal blend of air and fuel for the best power and efficiency of an Internal Combustion Engine! Now that's application! :P
Dont think we can change the system! We will always become a part of the system! My point here is you wanna make India a top country? Let's try and make it better for our kids! Let them have a future of application rather than memory power exams! Let us make them better Engineers/Students! ;)

Qasab V/S Raj Thackeray
2008 was a year of ups and downs for Mumbai City. Though the down outweighed the ups, it's always good to have an optimistic approach! The two major events that shook the city from its very foundations were the 26/11 Terrorist attacks and Raj Thackeray/MNS Outcry in a bid to elevate the home crowd above their neighbours. Both resorted to a radical approach to prove their point displaying the innumerous loopholes in the efficacy of the Administrative services.
Everyday 20,000 people enter the commercial capital of India to chase their dreams. Some of them are successful proving their assiduous labour, some do not make it big and some dreams are crushed to the ground compelling them to face the harsh pragmatism that follows.
The absence of a strict vigil in the Indian Railways, evading the Octroi officials with heavy bribes and an inefficient coastguard make the city extremely vulnerable to foreign attacks. Qasab and his accolades exploited this dent in the armour. They unleashed their fury in various parts of the city holding people hostage, killing them and also eliminating three vital members of the ATS. Terrorism has taken a toll on matters hampering a country's progress in all directions. It has become more of a business today. The term 'Mercenaries' has been twisted into a cruel barbed wire which can be altered to kill. These terrorists can be tracked to various groups who in the name of 'jihad' are just burning money to instill fear in the common man's mind.
On the flipside is Raj Thackeray, The man behind the 'Marathi Manoos". The man who wants to protect the best interests of his community. However the real question is does he really want the best for 'Marathi Manoos' or is it just another cheap publicity stunt to garner public power? I personally believe he needs to be reminded of his job profile of bringing the country forward and not his linguistic minority. A country can function efficiently if its the best man for the job then be it a 'Bhaiyya' or 'Marathi Manoos'. All his caustic remarks about North Indians have sown seeds of communal terrorism and linguistic difrentiation.
All the riots, morchas and TV interviews are the best method to burn public money adding up to the regression of the country.
What happened to Mr. Thackeray when commandos were flown in from 'North India' to combat Qasab? Isn't it his job to speed up the judicial proceedings for Qasab rather than accept ridiculous penalties like "Qasab booked for ticketless travel!"
All in all this was just an account of what HAS happened. Both of them may seem equal on scale but India is suffering double. We have battled past the years to envision a better India. Terrorism has taken a toll on country's economy. To add to it MNS have done nothing but arouse communal tensions. Regional Terrorism suddenly has a new face. The face that hides behind the cover of protecting the people's rights. Resorting to extreme methods, the valour on glory of India is soiled to the darkest cavern of shame.
The uprising against Anjali Waghmare has just made the point stronger. It depicts the loss of trust in the judiciary panel and represents contempt of court. It has just delayed the proceedings resulting in incessant spending of human resource and the tax-payer's money.
Mr. Thackeray has to realise he has undertaken the job of running the country and that doesnt happen with reservation for 'Marathi Manoos'.
In retrospect, the two faces of Qasab and Thackeray are nothing different. Both of them have evoked tensions which have been tearing the country apart leaving it in shambles. They are two sides of the same coin which is proving detrimental to India's future prospects.
This is not directed towards the 'Marathi Manoos' or Muslims but everyone around, "OPEN YOUR EYES!", "SPOT THE NOT!"

8 Below!
Academy Awards have always established their prestige over the years commemorating motion pictures for their sheer brilliance in all fields. It serves as an impetous for the people in the industry to do better,perform better. But there is a BUT! Recently they have become a farce and have a supreme tendency to overlook films who revolve around excellence and are heavily artistic with their "out of the box" approach.
Every year I look forward to them hoping to see their talent and hard-work rewarded. The awards are for the sole purpose of highlighting the year's performance and not lifetime achievement. Else I am sure Kate Winslet would have won the best Actor(Female) award every year much to the jealousy of Meryl Streep! :P
With Slum-DOG making a clean sweep with 8 awards and people over-hyping the already frenzy crowd with their excitement really made me think. Was the movie that deserving? 8 academy awards is not A JOKE! Have people become that blind that they have absolutely no sense of whats being shown to them? Have people forgotten the awards are meant for excellence and not generation of entertainment! Anyways I thought Tina Fey/Steve Martin/Ellen DeGeneres would anyday make a better host than Wolverine!
Is my thinking biased since I am stuck on a movie which really took my senses away in 2008. Lets put it this way, Oscars are a battle between movies. So if you dont compare different genre's of movies you wont have a winner. Else start a new Oscar for every genre of film. I wonder how many of these events will Tropic Thunder take part in!!
Coming to the clean sweep.
1. Wikipedia lists Slumdog Millionaire as a British movie. Indians dont get so hyper please! Just because its based in India doesnt make it Indian! ;)
2. Wikipedia also lists Slumdog Millionaire as a Romantic Comedy! ROTFL! For those with doubts, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romantic_comedy_film#Later_romantic_comedies
Please check the Later Romantic Comedies List!
3. Did Freida Pinto actually have a role in the movie?
4. How many 12 year old kids would go to a brothel and threaten the pimp with a gun and get his so called GF out of the Flesh Trade only to realise that she's later gonna be banged by his own brother and the Boss!
5. There's Benjamin Franklin of a 100$ note and he's clueless about Gandhiji on a 100 rupee note.
6. A slum-school teaches The Three Musketeers! Great!
7. He's a matka millionaire! He guesses the last answer.
8. If you do feel co-incidences have less odds, the storyline's odds would be 1/10000000000000000000000000000000000000000!
9. Highly improbable concept touching the story of a boy in the perfect chronological order.
10. What was a Krishna kid doing in the slums when there are riots going on! A messenger of peace? :P
11. Why does the host have to be jealous if the kid's winning when he is supposed to generate empathy towards him! What a fucked up character!
12. Cinematography - Amazing! Good Work!
13. Editing - Deserved the Oscar! Great Work!
14. Best Adapted Screenplay - This was a real joke! The movie was way way way too different from the book! Look at the amount ofdifferences! I guess Harry Potter is also a good adaptation then!
15. Music(Score) - A.R.Rahman. Should I be happy for a fellow Indian's success? Hell yeah I am! Did he deserve it? Jai Ho vs Rang De Basanti(All Songs!)/Taal/Yuva/Joddha Akbar/Bomaby and the list goes on.
16. Music(Song) - Rahman and Gulzar. Did they really understand the lyrics of the song? Or did they need subtitles!
17. Are 15 and 16 deserving after Newton Howard and Zimmer broke all records on last.fm even beating Enya!!
18. Sound Mixing! - WTF! After such pathetic background score, sound mixer also gets an academy award!!
19. Its just a picture of an ignorant India sold to the western world. Are we really that ignorant today?
20. Are we still that backward? Dont Indians compete at the very pinnacle of world level. Even a downtrodden person like the household maid can afford a cellphone!!
21. Why is it that the western world enjoys watching a rural india when we have so much to boast about. Our tourism, our history, our culture, our unified spirit, our cricket, our hospitality.
22. Why dont you support your country rather than support the movie which depicts only 1% of what we are and what we are capable of. Dont forget American companies crave for Indian students. Why?
23. Why is that there is a sudden increase in brain-gain?
24. Why is it that international companies have started setting their bases in India? Why is it that IIT and IIM is still better than Stanford or Wharton?
25. Why is India still being overlooked by our own people? Why are we crushing our own heritage?
I wish I had written this earlier. I do not recall parts of the movie due to my excessive watching of movies. And I definitely dont want to waste another 2 hours watching shit. Even my dog can point such things out. This is not a biased review of the ultimately "Flawless" movie but a pure look through of the mind. Some people might just push it to the back of their head citing the element of fiction, but what my real question is that does it deserve 8? Havent you seen better movies over the year. This year's Academy Awards were a total disappointment and really killed their importance and status. Take some time to think about these 25 things I have mentioned and then comment. 8 was really not called for. When 2 would actually suffice. Does Slumdog Millionaire really affect your mind so much? Does Slumdog Millionaire score greatly amongst the multitude of excellent films? Does Slumdog Millionaire have the key elements to bag 8? Does Slumdog Millionaire seem flawless? Think about it! ;)

Money=Progress?
The BSE climbs up 1000 points and reaches a new landmark! Team India wins the T20 World Cup! Indian movie soars for Oscar! IIM-A Graduate gets job with annual earning of 67 lacs!
These were just some examples of success, more definitely progress in individual lives. But is the country really PROGRESSING? That is one question which haunts every Indian. Maybe India has introduced standards of international living but are they sufficient? The golden words to mark this is "The Rich keep getting Richer and the Poor keep getting POOR". However this has been proved worthless today. Everyone earns money but are too miserly to separate from it.
Personal gain is what matters at some level, and you can call it a disgrace on patriotism. This term has been the binding factor, the freedom factor, but are we really living to emphasize the real meaning of the word?
The word does not say that we help our country by providing monetary support but provide it the mental freedom and the feeling of equality every citizen deserves.
Equality is another word which is alien here. Citing a personal example, I was at a local restaurant once, and a very senior person who worked there asked me,"Kahiye SAHAB kya lenge?" Though I never paid attention that time, it is now I am wondering that the word SAHAB means so much. Hospitality maybe one of the criteria but the real reason is the man loves his job more than anything else. He has the burden of supporting a family. However I believe hospitality should never be compromised at the cost of self-respect and equality.
Everything is so smooth in the United States. A person can live normally even by working as a waiter/usher or all other jobs which are considered to be downtrodden in India. The sense of equality has been implemented with real character. Millions of job oppurtunities and earnings which supplement a great livelihood. Everything is just so SIMPLE. Supermarkets are nearby and they sell everything. The underlying idea here is that the standard of living is so good, that people dont have to waste time thinking about major family problems like housing,food,etc.
Government schools provide a standard level of education with various facilites to help students soar higher. Here, no one even thinks of getting into a government school. The city has been planned to its very detail and stringent laws also prohibit the throwing of garbage,etc. The basic building blocks of a country are its people and the way they present their country to others. Millions of problems squeeze out the life of people here. Public transport is over-crowded, traffic never seems to diminish, ameneties just keep getting costlier and costlier.
I am not comparing India to the United States or any other country but giving an outlook where WE have gone wrong. Areas where we need to improve so that our country is not regarded as 3rd world country.
This land is ours. Take care of it! ;)
P.S. - I am not a writer like J.K.Rowling or Dan Brown. But a writer's best critic are the readers. I would be very grateful if you would take the pains of commenting on what you really felt. Thank you!
