Oscars

Know its a little late but congratulations to the Slumdog team for winning the Oscars and pretty much every award ceremony the last few days. Congratulations must ideally go to the maddest city on earth Bombay for this and its resilient people. Although it is just a movie it does capture some of that spirit and madness of typical India. Also, even though many hindi films have been similar, if not better, and the success of Slumdog Millionaire is mostly based on the fact that it was directed and produced by a foreigner, it is great that it happened and people like Rahman got their dues and recognition on the global stage.
