Watching Danny Boyle’s latest Oscar-winning masterpiece “Slumdog Millionaire,” is worthy of experiencing an emotional roller-coaster ride that can only be offered by the “Chawl City” Mumbai. As it is said, the city that never sleeps, the city that is the center of the world (narrated by a character called Salim in the movie), the city with an economic and social contrast ratio of 20,000,000:1 consequently reveals itself on the screen with all its color and dark shades. Director, Danny Boyle and  screenplay writer, Simon Beaufoy (based on the novel Q&A by Vikas Swarup) has masterfully crafted the film using the Indian version of the television game show “Who wants to be a Millionaire?” i.e. “Kaun Banega Crorepati”

In one of the fastest growing economy of the world how slums and street life has grasped its surface is masterfully depicted by Danny Boyle, but Slumdog Millionaire not only brings to life the dark as well as the bright side of the city of Mumbai in a unique style that is shocking and overwhelming at the same time.

Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal, an half educated “chai-wallah” (tea boy) in a modern high-tech call center who is on the verge of winning the highly coveted two crore (twenty million) rupees award money participating in a quiz show, is indeed a miraculous fairy tale. It is so unthinkable that the show anchor (Anil Kapoor) gets him arrested to just know how this lower class boy can cheat his way through to the correct answers with fathoming speed.

Fortunately for Jamal, the answers to the questions comes from his own life experiences and not from any academic books – the unforgettable memories of his early life in the slums and streets of Mumbai – his fight for existence along with his brother Salim at the foot of the Tajmahal, and finally in his quest for the love of his life – Latika! Ironically, the final question in the quiz game show comes from the book “Three Musketeers” by Alexander Dumas, that he and his brother had only started to read during his limited access to academic study in the school at their very early age. He chooses to opt for the “Life Line” called Phone a Friend – his brother and Latika, but both fail to answer. Hence, Jamal decides to empower his destiny to decide -and once again gambles his life with huge courage in heart in front of millions of television viewers.
The performances put up by all the lead characters were enthralling and spontaneous, the remarkable one being the performance of the children in the first half of the movie. The inspiring and thematic music by Indian music God A. R. Rahman has helped heighten the emotions and the final song and dance scene during the credits was a treat.

Well, on the look of things it seems that the media has come up with a new term; Obama Care. Or, it may have been the political pundits behind its creation, or even the opposition parties? Whoever it might be, it seems that this new term will be a log lasting one.  A few are much worried with quite anything and everything that the Democrats are coming up with, as a huge section of politicians on the libertarian and conservative side term them as sheer socialists and no longer as the true liberal Democrats.

The overall concept of Medicare for everyone indeed, sounds pretty good. But, the problem is that, Medicare has turned out to be a fragile system and the healthcare system is already on the brink of destruction. It is already assumed that the Medicare will be suffering from a $60 trillion debt measured on the basis of its obligations if we go on following this way to salvage our lost economy. So something has to be done.

Similarly something revolutionary has to be made with the Social Security System as today it is under a gigantic Ponzi scheme; in which everybody is paying to the system but as they make their payments the paid money is utilized for the general fund and yet they made a promise to us stating that in the future we will be obtaining the Social Security at it’s best; but the million dollar question is that where is it supposed to arrive from? We have already come to know that with Bernie Madoff that Ponzi schemes have left us everyone with almost nothing substantial, and yet when it arrives to be discussing about Social Security or Medicare one has to raise questions; what the hell is our government planning?

Now, the question arises that whether or not Obama Care is the answer we are looking at; many might nod their heads and many might say no and many may even land up asking how much does our opinion matter because at the end of the days it’s the cabinet who has to decide everything. Nevertheless, one thing we all can’t ignore is that at the end of the day all this has a deep impact on us, as we are the actual victims of their plans and policies.

Recent news surprised the whole world when a man in England stately murdered his wife only because she changed her profile marital status in Facebook to be “single”. Another peculiar incident seemed void when a woman killed her husband for being unfaithful to her in an online virtual reality game.

On behalf of all such strange practices seen happening the world, Indian spiritualist Tony deMello said that the individuals with their unwanted and untimely acrostics causing global problems that we people are facing today is mainly because of the result that we people are getting disconnected from our true nature. People of the 21st century is getting access to so much technologies that they are thinking virtual science is what they really are, not the soul within themselves. Imagine how life was when email did not beck so much popular ten years back?

People nowadays report to pay god money working and spending up to sixteen hours online daily. They are not actually earning money but instead forcing their lives towards the untrue virtual 3D world. They forget that their creators had given them a life that they really are, not virtually. They tend to forget the so beautifully gifted 4D world around them. The 3D life that most people are living now seems like all of them are actually alive, but not really living.

Higher degree individuals and years of university researches show that the so called “normal” peoples use less that 1% of their metal capacities to live the world, focus on issues and experience their present moments. However, the present moment is where a person actually is, but the 3D world had created a cyber space where one is metal indulged in, which means the person is living in the virtual world and to in the real world.

Tony deMello also says that normal people lives a life when they are asleep, but they never realize that life in nature. To realize the life back, these people have to wake up and live alike. It is not just voiced from Tony deMello, but many spiritualists say that to experience what life has waited for us; we have to come back to their senses. There are five senses simultaneously work-in in your body and wit it we are just ready to experience and accredited life here now and hereafter.

If you live your life, you will sense something abnormal. At the present moment, right where you are sitting now, you will be having no stress and no worries. If you are so much focused in the present moment you will tend to forget all your useless thoughts and metal pressures, in this condition, you will tend to do your job more precisely, better and easier than ever.

It is scientifically proven that if you have strong focus in whatever you are doing, you will become more efficient, more present; contribute more active mental preparation, become impressive and more alert to your surroundings picking up the good and bad of what is happening around you. The mot improper state o mind is inadequate and an unwanted defensive thought which makes a person go wild ad out of control of their brains.

So, start paying strong attention from now on whatever you are doing, use all your sense sin your body to concentrate on the present moment. Even if it is your first time, then you are welcome to give it try. A neuro-psychology proves that chances for a human being to be happy and successful in their lives are directly linked to their mental ability to pay attention. So develop the ability in yourself.

You cannot play worth your mind living in an untrue world and letting some numb senses to work and control you brain. Step in to the real world.
Live real.

Who is playing the race card now? Wall Street Journal Week says Obama is playing the race card now. But Fox news also says that it is Clinton who is playing the race card. So what actually is going on?

There are has been a number of racist statements that had been heard voicing out. Ex president Clinton said earlier that when a black candidate is running on the South Carolina, they will win the state for sure. It was actually said as a fact, not in racist way and eventually it turned out to be a true fact as we all know Jesse Jackson won the state twice and Obama this time.

Also statement from Geraldine Ferraro has heard saying if a woman of any skin color or a white man running the state, they would solely not be enjoying their leadership as if like Obama is enjoying currently. As a matter of fact, Obama lacks the experience of leadership as he is a first timer but it is eventually leading him with no big hassle in naming him Mr. Perfectionist which rather would be void if any woman or white man would be on his place. Ferraro has proved his statement to be finally true when Obama has been spotted making drastic changes after his winning president election.

Imagine is a black man runs for a high office, and then their campaigns have to stop saying every statement that they dislike, which could also possibly be racist statement. If we people expect Obama to go beyond the race issue, then his campaign surely needs to stop looking at very single bit of criticism statements with a racist mark.

The next great subject review in the world will ne Wright of Obama crunch who will be preaching the separation of races. If any racist statement is truly found to be racist, then it will be Osama’s self moralistic rebukes. Obama has been listening to his man for the last reported 20 to 25 years. It would be hard to believe some of the historic racist rhetoric that had not permeated some of Osama’s thinking.

It is surely Obama who is playing the race cards, not Clinton anymore.
