Limo hire london

I am a Tamil and an Indian- don’t know which comes first though. Candidly speaking for an ordinary middle class Indian who goes to work every day and comes back home by a DTC bus and not in a cheap limo hire,  dog tired it doesn’t matter one bit. We are all children of the same confusion- Assamese and Indian at the same time, Oriya and Indian at the same time- and so on and so forth.

Yet why should I be considered lesser Tamil if I think we should keep away from the Lankan trouble.

The Srilankan government’s decision to wipe out LTTE once and for all does not deserve  a party in a limo bus, with no regard to their cause is of course deplorable- violence does not settle things, especially when it involves a race. A violent end will only see the beginning of yet another violent chapter sometime from now- a young boy picking up arms years from now to avenge his fathers death. When you talk of a race, it is bound to produce at least one such boy- if not now maybe 10 years from now. It is inevitability and a sad fact far away from the dreams of limo surrey beauty landscaping. But that does not give a reason for our Tamils to support the LTTE’s terrorism either. Granted that they are people of our stock and therefore need help in the form of food and shelter when displaced but it should stop at that.

In the first place it’s even more complex than whats inside our london limo hireor nuclear science and cannot be solved like a project as it involves human lives and identity.

Second: It is not our problem and should not be our problem – if we make that mistake we will be infringing on the sovereignty of a neighbor which is not right no matter how big yourcheap limos are.

Last but not the least, one must not forget that the LTTE has adopted violent means for quite some time now and in some pockets are viewed as a terrorists. The Lankan government’s decision for a truce was often rebuffed by the tigers; on more than one occasion they have broken the peace agreement; in many of their attacks civilians have been killed and maimed; they have also gone to the extent of grafting under age volunteers for the squads. In this light their ways are as far from peaceful as ahampshire limo is from poverty stricken Somalia.

Strangely despite these attending facts, politics in Tamil Nadu seems to be radicalized on the LTTE issue- if you don’t support the Tamil cause your lesser Tamil, and if you do your lesser nationalistic. Phew! How simple can these politicians make things? Many are actually trying to make the LTTE cause their raison de etre- using the LTTE’s name liberally in rallies and election rhetoric while they all will be booking their own berkshire limo post elections. Political mileage in its most blatant and shameless form! None of them are willing to understand the ramifications of an LTTE presence in Tamil Nadu and the gun culture that they once brought in, in the 80s. Have they forgotten the Pondy Bazar shoot out?…or the infighting that often spilled over into the coastal reaches of Tamil Nadu..have they forgotten Sri Sabarathinam’s killing, the lamppost killings and names like Kittu pasted on our memories just like the beautiful limo?

This is not an attempt to vilify them as much as it is an attempt to expose the farce that local Tamil politicians are playing now?

By supporting the LTTE’s cause we don’t do anything for ourselves not do we do anything for the misplaced Tamils. They live in refugee camps and are no better than our own poor. While the rich ones with the correct connection end up in Canada, I’v personally know more than half a dozen militants who migrated to Canada and lead a cozy life- some of them own businesses and go around in middlesex limos, while the majority languishes in refugee camps.

How does one even begin to write when history has been created!

Almost every Indian was glued to their TV sets when A.R. Rahman received his oscar and gave the following acceptance speech:

“I just want to thank again the whole crew of Slumdog Millionaire, especially Danny Boyle for giving such a great opportunity. And the whole, all the people from Mumbai. The essence of the film which is about optimism and the power of hope in the lives, and all my life I had a choice of hate and love. I chose love and I’m here. God bless.”

Wow! Now that the movie has won so many oscars the backlash has already begun. There are so many blogs about people ranting out their anger at the director for showing only one side of India – The poor side. Hello people wake up! The film is about a slumdog Millionaire and if that doesn’t show the slums of Dharavi then what will?

The director has shown just a glimpse of the real poverty of India. The Slum, The Society, The Police, The reality television-show ethics, the religious fanatic, the sensationalized TV show anchor. India is just not this. It’s all this and MORE!

Slumdog was initially intended as a DVD release when Warner International went bankrupt but thanks to Fox Searchlight it’s now an Oscar Icon!

The film is an emotional account of a boy who wants to become a millionaire on a television game show, in the process finding the love of his life. Boyle has beautifully depicted the society that revolves around survival of the fittest and where betrayal and greed are second nature to everyone!

The story is about Jamal, a poor but mischievous boy who along with his older brother Salim keep getting in and out of scrapes. Their lives change suddenly when their mother is killed viciously in communal riots. Orphaned and alone they become the “slumdogs” of the streets of Mumbai. Latika, a feisty yound girl befriends them and soon they are inseparable and they become the three musketeers. They fight the odds of life together.

The twist is when Jamal appears on India’s version of the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Interestingly, he finds that he’s winning more prize money then he ever expected. Alarmed at how a “slumdog” who has no formal education learn the answers to these questions? The suspicions give rise to new problems for Jamal.

The film is an emotional rollercoaster ride. The biggest rider is romance in a world where socio, economic and political issues are never at bay. The young actors have done their job superbly well but it is Boyle’s dramatic expertise and his tact of displaying the heat, sweat and street life of Mumbai that decorates Slumdog Millionaire into a moving cinematic experience.

And to be honest , what best was the ride to Oscars for all the stars of the movie, this movie has been going around the globe and winning about everything by striking a chord with the judges world over, so to me the fairy tail ride of limo bus ride to the oscars is much well deserved by the little stars of the movie.

I am sure mDeals is now going to come out pretty soon with their mobile coupons to gain some popularity of this movie by giving away the slumdog stuff via their discount deals and I think its fair to do that as well!

Hurray and love to the little stars of the movie who made it special to me and salute to Danny Boyle and his team as well.

Cheers
