Believe and Vision: Slumdoog Millionaire

I have seen scientific research done by a graduate student but put aside by the mentor believing that was not worth publishing. But, after a decade later that dusty file - brings home Nobel Prize.

Tonight we saw - Movie version of Nobel-prize at Oscar. A low budget movie -that about to put aside -catches the center attention -

and here is the news:

".....

Shot in India on a modest budget of $14 million, "Slumdog Millionaire" traces the life of a Mumbai orphan who overcomes poverty, betrayal, police torture and other hardships on his way to a reunion with his childhood love and success on India's version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire."

The film nearly got lost in the shuffle as Warner Bros. folded its art-house banner, Warner Independent, which had been slated to distribute "Slumdog Millionaire." It was rescued from the direct-to-video scrap heap when Fox Searchlight stepped in to release the film....."


Take home message is - Believe and vision.
