They have been put in the limelight. I saw them on TV (Oscars), and you couldn't tell they came from slums, their confidence, their poise and how the conducted themselves on the red carpet - the press was all gaga about them, but I would think other kids of slums, maybe no different and this day and age of TV, Internet, IMs in India. <BR/><BR/>I sponsored a deserving kid for college in Pune and then hired him on, he is the best engineer I have ever hired there and he will go places. He worked hard though and I guess slums or not the same rules apply, unless ofcourse you have khandani Rs flowing to you. Then you are a spoilt desi brat! In my experience that may only last a generation too.....<BR/><BR/>I think the reality check for us who live "high" up in the class rank, is that just because you grew up in trash, doesn't make you any less deserved of overnight success and doesn't make you any less prone to faltering and losing it all. I fear for what their own families will do to them. The best weapon is education and that is why I think Danny Boyle has done the right thing. Education will save these children, as will other children in the slums. There are many efforts happening, Parikrama in Bangalore, that I support and one other which is more national but started in Mumbai for primary education in the slums. I am actually very bullish and optimistic on our slumdogs, the younger generation, they will take India to the next level.Theyoginmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994599670878778861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-37632177394664699482009-03-29T23:04:00.000+05:302009-03-29T23:04:00.000+05:30Shobhaa De...A very sexy name and a very sexy figu...Shobhaa De...A very sexy name and a very sexy figure as well.....When i look at you i see a desperate angry cat...one who has not had a good decent fuck for a long long time....And all the sexual anger vomits its way out........<BR/>Tell me how can i help you......How can i fulfill your every increasing desire....your longing for intimacy..<BR/>Believe me you will function normal after a good time in bed.

I'm a bit confused as to how German journos can contribute to the cause...unless this event is just another event. Is it? Are guys from the Salaam Balak trust in any other cities? I feel that the kids got a chance at life which is enough...but if they are taken advantage because of it, that would be horrible...yes counselling would be good, for their parents that is...How NOT to treat a kid who earns more than you. And also for the fickle politicians..How NOT to forget your promises:a complete guide in memory retention. And you are absolutely right about the misplaced charity!!!! Thankyou for sharing these views...I would have said the same things if 1) I could write as great as you 2) I wasn't so lazy. :) Internet humour aside, I wish Aham the best for his event...And please check out my comment on the first sita sena post...I've posted some queries there..gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17044195071741973675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-53269867065982639102009-03-07T09:42:00.000+05:302009-03-07T09:42:00.000+05:30Dear Shobha, A very good morning and I...Dear Shobha,<BR/> A very good morning and I am writing after a long time. I was too busy with the stock market as it was falling and falling.....Hey!! How much did you pay those two German journos for covering your events?! I do not know what your objectives are, but one can always protest against any injustice in societies. But why is Ur movement limited to India??!! Just see the world around you, especially in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iran, etc. how women are being treated as commodities. <BR/>You should have your branches there instead of in India. In India also you should have demonstrated in Delhi first and and then in Bombay, where the women are in much better shape as compared to the former. I think you know in Delhi how a Congress politician baked a women in Tandoor!<BR/>In the middle-east the women are subject to all sorts of mental and physical torture before they are forced to comply to religious dictats of clergies, which is more dangerous. <BR/>Hence, I would fell pity for Times of India (which supported the British or which was an official newspaper of the Imperial rule in India) and those Two German journos.<BR/>I think this is an easy way to gain cheap publicity. The objective of such groups which has such catch-lines, "Seeti Bajao, Khud Ko Bachao", can be understood without going too deep. <BR/>However, any protest against any injustice in societies is necessary, in a democratic set up. <BR/>But even then, this attempt is just a waste of time and energy at a time when everyone is busy with elections and when so much has been spoken about this in the last few months--too much of everything is bad.<BR/>In Bengali (or Bangla) there is a saying, "laboo beshi tiple teto hoye jay" (If one squeezes a lemon too much it become bitter)--Indians are too tired of such gimmicks!! Moreover NO one talks of men who are the victims of the atrocities of women. Are any women hearing??!!<BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>Suman Mukherjee<BR/>India. <BR/>www.sumanspeaks.blogspot.comSumanSpeaksTechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12201677672186888972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-48942522803685306612009-03-07T04:58:00.000+05:302009-03-07T04:58:00.000+05:30you raise pertinent questions. they cant be treate...you raise pertinent questions. they cant be treated as commodities.Kushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153330074390558887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-21567633777449254562009-03-05T23:58:00.000+05:302009-03-05T23:58:00.000+05:30Ms. De, Have been reading your blog off and on for...Ms. De, <BR/><BR/>Have been reading your blog off and on for some time now, and have enjoyed parts of it.<BR/><BR/>About Mira Nair's attempt after Salaam Bombay. The organisation is working and working well. Called the Salaam Balak Trust, they have some wonderful work in Delhi, Gurgaon and Mumbai. I was interning with them about 6 months back, and they've been fulfilling their promises of uplifting street children. <BR/><BR/>I worked at a small center in Delhi headed by a man who was a street kid once. And he's now a fully grown man, with a family and kids.<BR/><BR/>I would rather hope a person of your eminence and exposure would do a little research before passing comments on issues that are factual in nature.<BR/><BR/>Regards, <BR/>Karan RajpalKaran Rajpalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674940570777978653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-135151995575039052009-03-05T20:34:00.000+05:302009-03-05T20:34:00.000+05:30Yes, I completely agree with you these children ha...Yes, I completely agree with you these children have changed forever, facing reality will be hard for them.<BR/>They need counselling.
