Jai Ho! The Oscar Odyssey

Phew! After a very lonnnnnnnnng wait India finally has an Oscar to its credit. As per the tradition and trend, it has got a mixed response from various quarters.

Kudos to the entire team behind "Slumdog Millionare" who slogged it out and made this distant dream a reality for the teaming millions of the country. We are indeed proud of them for the great achievement.

What I am personally really really exhilerated about is the fact that we managed to win an "O-S-C-A-R" without the involvement of the Oscar craved Aamir Khan!! All he managed to do was just make us wait, wait, wait.... and someone else brought us the glory!

Not surprising though is the fact that there are many amongst us who do not wish to see or accept things in the right spirit. So what if the film has not been made by an Indian? Does that in anyway negate the contribution made by eminent people like Anil Kapoor, A.R. Rehman, Irfan Khan, Saurabh Shukla, Loveleen Tandon and numerous other citizens of the country? Why can't people simply learn to look at the positive aspects of things and accept them humbly?

A sincere request going out to Aamir Khan! PLEASE have some "REHM" on us "MAN" and help stop the world making digs at you in this regard.
