Slumdog Millionaire

The movie won the Oscars and yet there are some people who are still skeptical about it. This is typical crab mentality- neither do u u go up nor do u let others move forward .

PS- read my take for the movie in an earlier post

The World is not a nice to place live !

Recent events have been making the world a not so nice to live. First it was the slowdown followed by recession which meant job losses . Swaminathan S Ankelswaria Aiyer in todays TOI says that the recession was brought about b y Asian economies holding on to surplus foreign reserves.He says that the Americans have generally used their future income to consume more ( there is no other economy that spends more and only when this country spends does the world economy run !!) and on top of that when Asian economies pumped in their dollar reserves to buy American assests and stocks it made US domestic interest rates much more lower which in turn encouraged Americans to borrow more and spend more and finally when the bubble burst - we all came tumbling down. (Wow ! that was the most simplistic version I could have come up for any economic article)
Meanwhile Paris Hilton says that she will spend more to help the world economy but the problem is she would be buying only from the elite brands/companies and how does this " magnamious act" of hers help things .
Obama has come to power and I am still not sure how he is going to bring the change he has been promising.

Closer home some really jobless people have taken up to define whats good and bad for us ( I am referring to the Sri Ram Sene) and V day celebrations seem to look bad this year. Intellectuals will only talk and cannot act do what they propose for they are intellectuals and their job is to think .

Why cant women organise a Sree Durga Sene and go on a rampage ?

Closer to me I have joined a gym finally and enjoying every bit of it ,after all those sessions are all about me and me alone !
