Eight Oscars for Slumdog Millionaire!

It was thrilling to sit here before our small TVs and watch SM winning one award after another.
There was a flurry of phone calls made to dear ones. Did you hear? ....Hey! is the TV on? ....Watch this…
It was almost as if we had won a personal award…

The choreography of the stage performance to announce the nominations for best song was indeed amazing….Indian music blending into African beats...and the drummer disappears into the crowd beating the drum.

We find BBC rejoicing that a British film won an Oscar.
We find Indian Channels rejoicing that an Indian won the Oscar.
The award is the highest film honour bestowed by America.

We are living in truly great times…we see artists and creators world over, coming together on a single platform to create a wonder that has world appeal.

The language of happiness and hope is universal. AR Rehman put it so well when he said, there were many moments when he had to choose between hate and love. And he chose love…and so he is here.

Love is a force that heals, builds a bond and lights up paths. It is a force that creates in us a respect for others, enabling us to give our best. Hope is what we need lot of today.

  1. I agree and also think any art or sport can bring magnetize minds that understand or even want to understand that work.
    SM is definitely a clear example amongst many others to this effect.
