If you manage to ace what you do then things can turn into gold. What really caught my interest was the very openly talked about link between media, worthless politicians and perhaps celebrities. Apart from that I think that any story comes out of a human head and is ticked off or inspired by something no matter how big or small it is. In the end it isn't the exact thruth and sometimes the truth is told creatively. Its surprising that there are so many news channels in India nowdays and at some point an individual's conciouns speaks to themselves. If there are worthless journos out there then I am not surprised. It isn't possible either that a 2.5 hr movie represents an entire industry. The dead farmers and journos is simply a foil for a movie script and doesn't mean that all farmers are dead! Same was the case with Madhur Bhandarkar's Page3 & Fashion not every celebrity or fashion model is vain, involved in child molestation or high on drugs (I hope not!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-69006860868636484602010-08-18T16:03:25.808+05:302010-08-18T16:03:25.808+05:30"The joke doing the rounds is : all that Aami..."The joke doing the rounds is : all that Aamir touches, including 'tatti' ( excreta) turns to gold."<br /><br />so no difference between millionaire slumdog's tatti or peepli's :)चंद्रमौलेश्वर प्रसादhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08384457680652627343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-58756567519752204212010-08-18T13:12:18.935+05:302010-08-18T13:12:18.935+05:30Believe it or not.

Immidiate benefits : waiver of all loans, a "compensation" of 1.5 lakh, job to a dependent etc. It is a very prifitable business. Old dies of natural death, and hang him by neck. Share the loot with police and others who matter. You still make a packet PLUS a govt. JOB!!<br /><br /><br />How many of old farmers might have been killed and shown as suicides, only God knows. <br /><br />And why is it that young farmers do not commit suicide? why only those above 60?<br /><br />In India there are 1,20,000 suicides. 26% are by salaried persons, 16% by farmers!! <br /><br />Reason is common.

Great j...Hi Ms.De, just saw you on Headlines Today. Great job, every word you said was true and resonates with the masses.<br /><br />Deserve before Desire! Those are words which very few politicians will understand.<br /><br />These politicians think that we are all fools and that they can rob the Tax Payers' money at will. The only thing they deserve are XXXXXXXX and XXXXX!<br /><br />They are increasing TAXES, FUEL prices and prices of what not. They are using OUR HARD EARNED MONEY to pay for all their luxuries while the common man is flushed down the gutter.<br /><br />Soon you and I will be paying AIR TAX for breathing and LIFE TAX because we are still alive.<br /><br />Not only are the politicians alienating the common people, they are failing to realize that the Common Man is becoming more militant by the day. You only need to look around you to realize this, but from the glass towers of the politicians all the truth gets reflected.Delhi Goonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291632032096360088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-63391004959300856512010-08-17T22:00:33.457+05:302010-08-17T22:00:33.457+05:30Hey Shobha,

Earlier as well you mocked the 'women beating' issue. <br /><br />Farmer's commiting suicide is so common in India. I, myself belong from a small town and have heard/encountered such scenario's. It's very hard to live life when you know you are enormous debt. <br /><br />And, I'm glad that this topic is out in the open. So what if Aamir publicized this movie? If it takes one man to shake the entire country on such delicate issues, so be it! Atleast, it's out in the open and world-wide known. I think we should take this positively that every single person in India and abroad is very well aquainted by this topic. <br /><br />Now, we can hope for the change. Maybe not a lot but at least some...Divya (Virmani) Chaddahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728297995713109412noreply@blogger.com
