SlumDog in shinning India

-

Whether “Slumdog Millionaire” deserved the Oscar for best film or not, is surely a debatable issue. Is it still fashionable to sell Indian poverty at a time when millions of home owners in US are under the threat of eviction and the same lot is clamoring for rescue by the providential hand of the government? Back here in India, things are much better as no body is facing a similar threat of eviction (not even the people living in the slums in Mumbai, how dare some western stereotypes call us DOG?) even at the time when the so called developed nations are also struggling economically; India is still growing at a respectable level of about 7% GDP growth.

Better leave it to great critics to discuss whether some Indian’s crave too much for international hype?

However, as an artistic peace it may be welcomed particularly when the film has given Indian’s big reason to rejoice as $14 million “Slumdog Millionaire” a film based on Indian slum boy, that has won 8 Oscar awards and become the fourth film along with Gandhi to have won the highest number of Oscar awards!

Earlier many similar films based on life of people living in Mumbai slums such as Mira Nair's Salaam Bombay, Satyajit Ray's the Apu Trilogy and Satya by Ramgopal Verma have already been made by our Indian filmmakers, Surprisingly, they were never given due recognition by our international friends. Perhaps it was destined!

Astrologically, there is a close numerology connection between Gandhi and Slumdog Millionaire. First of all both films have own 8 Oscar awards so the connection is number Eight, which is India’s destiny (15/8/1947) number. The 55th Annual Oscars held on April 11, 1983 adds up to 27 which adds up 9…23.2.2009 also adds up to (18) 9. 81st annual Oscar awards also add up to 9. Even the year in which India won international recognition for the above mentioned movies came during 36th & 63rd year of independence which also adds up to 9.

As I mentioned earlier Venus in India's chart is an ascendant lord that signifies Art & Cinema and Mars (signifies victory) is the lord of relationships (7th house) and foreign connections (12th house) in India’s chart. Both Venus and Mars are exalted at the moment since 27 and 28 January 2009 respectively. No wonder India is in the news for all reasons-Good & Bad!. As i mentioned earlier, numbers alone can not bring good results, their corresponding planets have to be in a strong position. In the astro chart of 1983 all planets were in a favorable (strong) position, which is a rare phenomenon in astrology. Hence- India also created history by winning the 1983 World Cup for the first time.

As i said earlier ( read http://www.indianshowbusiness.com/?p=18229 ), the year 2011 is a number four ruled by Rahu, the hidden planet and this transit of Rahu-Ketu on June 6, 2011 may further bring big surprises, mass revolution, untoward events for India and we may witness lots of high impact events/ troubles in the next 18 months.

दिल्ली चुनाव पर अबकी बार शनि भारी , होगा आप को नुकसान

दिल्ली में अबकी बार आम आदमी पार्टी (आप) की सत्ता  वापसी काफी मुश्किल लग रही है । अंक ज्योतिष के आंकलन के आधार पर मेरा मानना है कि बीजेपी को 35  से 44 व् आप को 24-34  सीटे मिल सकती है। वजह यह है कि इस बार सयोंग से चुनाव शनि के अंक 8 (फेब) को शनिवार को हो रहे है और वोटो की गिनती 11 फेब को है जिसके टोटल (१+१+२+२+००+२ =८ ) से भी 8 अंक प्राप्त होता है। यही नहीं जो भी नये मुख्यमंत्री बनेंगे वो दिल्ली के ८वे सीऍम होंगे।    वैसे भी शनि का यह ८ अंक बहुत मुश्किल नंबर माना जाता है और  दिल्ली के इस चुनाव में  इसका प्रभाव है जो दिल्ली के वर्तमान मुख्यमंत्री अरविन्द केजरीवाल के लिए काफी कठिन साबित हो सकता है।  शनि उनकी कुंडली में नीच का है और चन्द्रमा के साथ मिलकर विष योग बना रहा है. वहीं यह चुनाव प्रधान मंत्री मोदी के लिए भी नये सिटीजनशिप (CAA ) कानून की वजह से बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है. मोदी जी का भाग्यांक 8 है और जिसके तहत मेरा यह अनुमान है कि उनकी बेजोड़ छबि की वजह से बीजेपी को जो बिना किसी सीऍम चेहरे के इस चुनाव में उतरी है, काफी अच्छा प्रदर्शन कर सकती है जिसकी वजह से आम आदमी पार्टी के लि

Mindful of life

True humility does not demand performance or perfection. It allows me to live with my frailties and humaneness. T.T. Srinath Life is simple and requests of us submission with joy. Submission comes unhesitatingly to each of us when we live with respect, chiefly for ourselves, gratitude and humility. A passenger rushing to board his train at a railway station noticed a beggar seated on the platform with a cloth spread before him. Seeing some pencils lying on the cloth, he stopped briefly and asked the beggar if the pencils were for sale. The beggar looked up and said ‘yes’. The passenger quickly dropped a couple of rupees on the cloth, picked up the pencils and left. Many years later, the man was at a party when a well-dressed middle aged man came up to him and said, “Sir, do you remember me?” But the man couldn’t place him and thought he might be a successful businessman who wished to engage in conversation. The stranger then saluted him and said, “I am indebted to you, sir, for hav

Stars in November 2012-Barack Obama vs Mitt Romney-Close Fight with 40:60 Luck Factor!

Venus Transits Virgo till November 16 Venus entered Mercury's earth sign during the last week of October, moving away from Leo. Mercury and Venus are natural friends, which usually means comfort for these planets occupying the others' signs. However, Virgo is actually Venus' sign of debilitation, indicating that the expression of Venus through this sign can be difficult. For the final 10 days of Venus' transit through Mercury-ruled Virgo, Mercury will be in retrograde motion, further confusing the expression of Venus-Love. Venus is our capacity for love, connection and recognition of oneness with all beings. Through Venus we exercise compassion and celebrate beauty. It is Venus that urges us to seek happiness, love and comfort. Venus moving through Virgo can be difficult for happiness and satisfaction within relationship because the neutral, analytical nature of Virgo can cause us to be fault-finding or critical. Add to that the retrograde motion of Mercury,

भाजपा की ग्रह दशा ख़राब, करनी होगी ज्यादा मेहनत

  भले ही दिल्ली में कोई बड़ा उलटफेर इस बार नहीं हुआ लेकिन   दिल्ली में शनि देव के 8 अंक का प्रभाव ऐसा कुछ रहा कि दोनों   पार्टियों को 8 अंक ही प्राप्त हुए। 62 (6 +2)  आप को और  8 बीजेपी को मिले। यही नहीं मतदान प्रतिसत 62% में , आप को 53% (5 +3) व् बीजेपी को 38. 51% (3 +8 +5 +1 =17) में भी 8 अंक छाया रहा।    आप को  4,974,522,  बीजेपी को 3,575,430  व्  कांग्रेस को सिर्फ 395924 वोट्स   मिले. 8  अंक शनि देव का है। जैसा    मैंने कहा था इस चुनावों पर शनि ही भारी रहा।    शनि देव   बहुत मेहनत कराते   है।   और जो अपने लक्ष्य पर खूब पसीना बहता उसे शनि हारने नहीं देते। 7 भाग्यांक वाले   अरविदं केजीवाल की पार्टी   पिछले एक शाल से   खूब मेहनत करते दिखे जिसका पुरस्कार जनता ने उन्हें   7 वी   विधान सभा में भी   प्रचंड जीत ( 70 में से  62) के रूप में दे दिया है     वही बीजेपी का जुलाई 2019 से ख़राब समय चल रहा है।   उनकी कुंडली में चंद्र महादशा (फेब 2018 से)   में   राहु की अंतर दशा 19 जुलाई 2019 से 19 जनवरी 2021 तक चल रही है जो अनुकूल नहीं है..चंद्र बीजेपी की कुंडली में (छटवे भाव जो विमारिय

Market.. Assets 'and' Bankruptcy concept

-
Now that all of us are affected in some way or another by this so called recession. Here is a simple but useful explanation about Markets.. Assets.. and the Bankruptcy concept!!!! There was once a little island country. The land of this country was the tiny island itself. The total money in circulation was 2 dollars as there were only two pieces of 1 dollar coins circulating around. 1) There were 3 citizens living on this island country. A owned the land. B and C each owned 1 dollar. 2) B decided to purchase the land from A for 1 dollar. So, now A and C own 1 dollar each while B owned a piece of land that is worth 1 dollar. * The net asset of the country now = 3 dollars. 3) Now C thought that since there is only one piece of land in the country, and land is a non producible asset, its value must definitely go up. So, he borrowed 1 dollar from A, and together with his own 1 dollar, he bought the land from B for 2 dollars. *A has a loan to C of 1 dollar, so his net

Markets may fall initially and remain highly volatile  Planet Mars will enter the sign of Aquarius on 4 th  May 2020.  The cosmic warrior  will also receive inauspicious aspect from mischievous planet Rahu for the next 45 days in  this sign , indicates there may be many fold jump in Covid-19 cases in India. We may reach the peak of this troubling health situation during this phase and need to be extremely cautious and careful.  Please note as i said earlier this is a karmic cycle where all planets are transiting in Rahu-Ketu kaal serp dosh axis and are also going through cosmic lock-down where their positive energy is interrupted This deadly virus originated around solar eclipse of Dec 26, 2019 and may begin to reduce drastically or end once Lord Sun passes Rahu axis in Gemini from June 15 to July 17, 2020.    The situation is likely to worsen in the next few weeks or may be months. We must observe complete fasting and do mantra chanting during upcoming lunar and solar ecli

Full Kaal Sarpa Dosha at Work till Mid November 2013

-
All the 9 planets are currently forming a dangerous Kaal Sarpa Yoga (or Dohsa)...this is a rare event in cosmic world when the all 7 planets transit  between or hemmed between Rahu and Ketu. Rahu is considered serpent's head and Ketu is dragon's tail. This yoga will be even more harmful when Sun enters Gemini in mid of June (15-16th) 2013 and will conjunct Jupiter, which will be set till July 2, 2013, making the period very inauspicious and harmful. During such times God's blessing is difficult to come by. In general, i have noticed in 100s of birth charts that the presence of kaal sarp yoga in an horoscope is harmful as all the planets are surrounded by the serpent and thus loose their good impacts to a great extent which will make person less lucky, creates problems and delays in many important aspects of life. When all the seven planets are on the same side of rahu and ketu axis and not a single planet is on the other side, the full kaal-sarp dosha is formed. If ev
