Slumdog Millionaire in Real

I saw a ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ in real life on TV even before I could see it in reel. Rubina, the child actress in 'Slumdog Millionaire' has two mothers—one biological and a step mother. Her father tried to sell her to become a real Slumdog Millionaire. How do we know whether it is true? So the mothers fought a dog fight in the slums over the right of Rubina—bow, wow, scratch, bite. When a man has 2 wives what else they would do? Her biological mother pounced upon everybody to protect her daughter like a female dog to protect its litter. But the kid suffered dog bite. She started crying desperately. If she is a 9 year old she is going through a bad phase now. All of her relatives said to be turned up for the dog feast. Poor illiterate people have no qualms about fighting in public. When it comes to fight there is no difference in between literate and illiterate. Both fight in the same way. Civilization is meant for a few peace loving people. How can we give up the instinct to fight that Nature has given us?

It is all for money. When money matters come in between people even forget relationship. People do anything for money these days. Throw money to slum dwellers and watch them fight. It is like throwing food to stray dogs. They will fight. Rich people may sympathize with the poor but poor have no sympathy towards the rich. The slum kids throw stones and snatch bags from commuters while travelling by local trains is a daily problem. Slum dwellers will teach their kids robbery instead of manners. Anybody’s intention to uplift the poor will not work out. It is better to leave them to their fate. That’s why our country cannot curb poverty. Rich India has more poor people than rich.

If one sympathized with the poor they would take advantage of it. Here, I write down my experience with the poor—once when I was returning from a temple with my husband I saw some beggars sitting in a line at the gate. Feeling sympathy I distributed the remaining fruits I had given for offering. The fruits were nothing to them. They asked for money. We gave the few rupees we had. They were not satisfied with a little money and started demanding more. Soon my husband’s purse got empty and we couldn’t give money to the last one beggar. He got angry and started hurling abuse at us. Others who got money also joined him. We left the place disappointed. I showed sympathy only to get insult.
2009 is not only for recession and war but also for a year for soured relations between father and their offspring. Many cases were reported. The Saturn has taken position in Leo and troubles the earthlings a lot this year.
