Slumdog Millionaire

I got a chance to watch this movie last weekend…………………and I would say that it has portrayed our sub continent in a very original way. I said sub continent because, India and Pakistan are very much alike in majority of the things. I am not going to compare Pakistan and India over here. This post is for Slumdog Millionaire,  which has bagged awards at BAFTA and GRAMMYS and has been nominated for 10 Oscars Acadamy Awards categories. I think it might perform a clean sweep…….but I still haven’t seen other movies nomainated with SM in all categories; so I can’t say that I believe it will perform a clean sweep

The storyline is impressive, direction is good and I liked the dialogues too. A boy answers all 15 questions at a famous show “Who wants to be a Millionaire?” and gets the big money. Hmmmmmmmm, movie about answering 15 questions and winning a quiz show………how can they make a movie like this But there have been many movies related to quiz shows, which take us into the lives of people involved in that show……….and that’s the same thing in this movie. The participant Jamal who has lived majority of his life in slum, gets a decent job at Call Center and then comes to the show to win big money. But the main concept of movie was how did he know all the answers? and there we have whole movie in flashbacks. All in all a good movie, worth watching with family.

AZOSH goes online in gaming

Our clan AZOSH started playing online Counter Strike on 24th January 2009. Well, it is late but still fortunate enough for us to enhance our skills by playing with world class players online. Before joining the online servers, we brothers used to play against BOTS turn by turn. Well, actually we still go online turn by turn due to lack of resources….. but it is still a great experience.

azosh | dangerking has made an impact online and is considered to be the most entertaining player in our team; and he will continue to increase his skills.

Happy Gaming
