Now if I say I will dedicate this post to an Oscar winning movie, I won't give even 10Rs. for guessing the movie name! Recession time.. cost cutting in place .... :)
There has been an overdose of Slumdog Millionaire. Especially the song "Jai Ho" after the oscar triump.
Keep aside the music award sweep by music maestro A.R.Rahman.
We just want a reason to celebrate! Now the fact that the movie wasn't even considered Indian by Oscar committee doesn't matter. What matters is that we had 3 actors and 6 children who shared some screen space in enchanting "Slumdog Millionaire"!
The children whose existence itself was neglected, are overnight super humans!
I would not be surprised if a temple with their divine statues is erected in Mumbai with name "Chatrapati Shivaji oscar temple" :D
And the television channels would be busy interviewing those kids - teachers (if they ever went to school), their neighbours, friends, cousins, uncle, aunt, the paanwala whose chocolates they bought, the hen whose eggs they stole etc...
The people would be more interested in what they eat, what they drink, what they think about Obama, what are their views on child labour, what brand underwear they wear etc..
We have a tendency to raise people beyond the clouds if they have saved an ant; and bury them deep inside the ground if they killed a mosquito!
By that time, I just wait and be mesmerised by this rather funny tendency of us! :)
Three Cheers to the Oscar Winners! ;)
