Good news!! Today "Slumdog Millionaire" - a story of poor boy's rise from slum dwelling to the victory in the game show has made it successfully at Oscars with 8 wins of 10 nominations. Below are the categories against which the movie made its fame.
Category                      Person

Though there are many questions raised with so many Oscar wins, the welcoming news is that it recognized the much overlooked Indian talent. For instance, though this was not Rahman's best music score, his well deserved win in a way has opened the International platform for him and others.

One liners!

Few one liners which I thought of...

LIFE - Live In Fired Enigma Meaning this world is itself a puzzle. Something very difficult to understand and is a mystery. Our birth has fired or started our journey in this world where we live without understanding the mystery(birth) in a mystery(world). We go through different phases of life each having its own flavor. Choices and Decisions, Truths and Lies, Rights and Wrongs, Beliefs and Actions, and many other things we try to understand and keep correcting our definition as and when we move to higher stages. This underlines an old and well known adage "Change is the only Constant thing". In these stages, our actions are mainly based on what we find correct, but wait that's just only one view we see and what we perceive, whereas world is multi-dimensional. So the ultimate truth i.e., universe or world is a mystery and we are here living in this mystery.
