Jai Ho for India at the Oscars

From the slums of Mumbai to the glamorous world of Los Angeles, the world went "Jai Ho" as India's sound magicians A. R. Rahman and Resul Pokutty made history along with lyricist Gulzar and bagged three Oscars for "Slumdog Millionaire" that won eight of its 10 nominations in a ceremony that had India written all over.It was India's day at the Oscars, one of the year's most watched events on world television, with Indian music, Indian dance and Indian colours sweeping the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.India dominated the mind as British director Danny Boyle's hit film won the big ticket Oscars for best picture and best director at the 81st annual Academy Awards but also for six others, including two for Rahman, who won for best original score and best original song for the exuberant "Jai Ho" with Gulzar.While Pookutty shared the award with two others for best sound mixing, the film also won best adapted screenplay, best cinematography and best editing awards.The only award it did not bag was for sound editing, which went to "The Dark Knight".It was an India moment for everyone to savour, and celebrations broke out across the country.President Pratibha Patil, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and a host of others echoed the mood as they congratulated the Oscar winners saying they had made India proud.As the film, based on a book by Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup and made on a budget of only $13 million, reached the pinnacle of its success Sunday night, it was also a fairytale end to an awards story that some say is as improbable as the film itself about an orphan from a Mumbai slum who goes on to win India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" game show.Rahman, the fourth Indian to win the golden statuette after Bhanu Athaiya for costume designing in 1982, Satyajit Ray for lifetime achievement in 1992 and Pookutty, who picked up his award before him, also became the first Indian to perform at the glittering ceremony watched worldwide by millions.Indian drums resounded through the vast Kodak Theatre and dancers picked up on the beat as Rahman sang "O Saya" and "Jai Ho" - his two songs shortlisted for the best original song award notwithstanding the fact that the words were in Hindi."God is great!" Rahman exclaimed in Tamil as he picked up the awards, saying he was as excited and terrified before coming here as he was at his marriage."It is not an award, but history being handed over to me, " said Pookutty, who shared the Oscar with Ian Tapp and Richard Pryke, and dedicated his award to his country."I simply feel elated. I can't put my feelings into words! It is the highest recognition any film technician can ever achieve. To be the first from India to be recognised by my peers in the Academy in its 80-year history is a very, very fulfilling feeling, " Pookutty told.Added Gulzar from Mumbai: "I never thought in the wildest of my dreams that Indian lyrics can ever win an Oscar. Indians never had a place (in the West) and the credit for this recognition goes to Rahman. "But the 81st Academy Awards was not just about "Slumdog Millionaire".The India-themed "Smile Pinki" by American Megan Mylan, about a poor village girl whose cleft lip made her a social outcast till her life changed after a meeting with a social worker, picked up an Oscar for best short documentary.The evening climaxed with much of the cast and crew up with producer Christian Colson as he accepted the best picture award."As you can see, our film was a collaboration between hundreds of people, and I am so happy that so many of them could be with us here tonight to share this moment. Together we've been on an extraordinary, extraordinary journey.When we started out, we had no stars, we had no power or muscle. We didn't have enough money really to do what we wanted to do. But what we had was a script that has inspired mad love in everyone who read it, " said Colson.Also up on stage were 10-year-old Azharuddin and nine-year-old Rubina, who played key roles in the movie and travelled from their homes in a Mumbai slum to the star-studded event.And back home in the Garib Nagar slum, Azharuddin's father said, his eyes welling up with tears: "Flowers have bloomed from the dirty gutters of Mumbai. "Rahman's sister Reihana said from Chennai: "Once he returns, Rahman and I and the rest of the family will go on thanksgiving pilgrimages to several dargahs (Muslim shrines) to express our gratitude to god for blessing us so mercifully and in such magnitude. We hope this means more Hollywood offers for Rahman after this. "In Pookutty's home in Vilakupara village of Kerala, the mood was celebratory -- and tearful too - as people crowded around a TV set in front of his house.In Uttar Pradesh, too, little Pinki was the toast of her village Rampur Dabai."It's an honour for all of us that a poor girl has put this village on the international map, " village head Pradeep Vishwakarma told on telephone.It was a day that will live on, a day when the world went "Jai Ho!

Sukhwinder misses Oscar ceremony, but very happy for Rahman

He was to have performed with music maestro A. R. Rahman at the 81st Annual Academy Awards but could not due to some snag. But "Jai ho" singer Sukhwinder Singh is extremely happy at Rahman's twin wins at the Oscars.Reports earlier said that both Sukhwinder and Rahman were to perform the "Slumdog Millionaire" song live at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles. However, it was only Rahman who finally took centrestage.Sukhwinder told a national daily that he couldn't go as his papers were not processed in time for him to catch the flight to Los Angeles.But he said he is delighted for Rahman and that he always wanted an international honour for the ace composer, who brought him to the limelight with the "Chhaiyan Chhaiyan" number in "Dil Se"."One thing that I was missing since seven-eight years was an international award for Rahman, because I knew he truly deserved it. But today it has happened and I'm very happy about it, " Sukhwinder told reporters here.Rahman became the first Indian to bag two Oscars, including one for best original score and the other for best original song ("Jai ho"), which he also shared with lyricist Gulzar.Sukhwinder says he was confident that "Jai ho" would go places."I knew 'Jai ho' will definitely go places because it's a song full of fun, " said Sukhwinder.The versatile singer with a rustic voice said that he enjoyed the song so much that while he was recording it with Rahman, he insisted on singing it multiple times."When we were sitting in the studio and recording, I sang the song once, but told Rahman that I'm not convinced and sang it again. ""Then I sang it for the third time on the same pretext. Suddenly, Gulzar stopped me. He told me that the song is full of naughtiness and I am naughty too. He was right! I was really enjoying the song and that's why I wanted to sing it again and again, " he added.So did he expect the song to win an Oscar?"When Rahman and I work, we only concentrate on the poetry and nothing else, " said the singer, adding that he had completed the recording of the song in half an hour.

Slumdog kids have a whale of a time

he six kids who played the youngest and middle versions of the main characters in Oscar-smash hit "Slumdog Millionaire" are loving it as they have a whale of a time in Los Angeles.Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail and Rubina Ali from the slums of Mumbai as also Ayush Mahesh Khedekar, Tanay Chheda, Ashutosh Lobo Gajiwala and Tanvi Ganesh Lonkar were flown to the US for Hollywood's biggest awards night by Fox Searchlight.By all accounts, they have been having the time of their lives. For some, it was not only their first trip out of the country, but also their first time on an airplane.Once in LA, the children were put up in a plush hotel, where they were issued standard awards-night gear: tuxes, dresses and shoes, all made to measure.The plan is to stay in the US for two days of sightseeing after the ceremony, with a visit to Disneyland to follow a trip that has already been made to Hollywood's Universal Studios.There was Rubina Ali, 9, beaming proudly from a huddle with her "Slumdog Millionaire" co-stars on the world's most glamorous stage, as they walked the red carpet before the show Sunday.Rubina wore a pale blue short dress and white ballet flats, with henna decorating her arms and staining her fingernails. The boys wore child-size tuxedos and Lonkar wore a pale mauve dress.The smiling kids bubbled with enthusiasm, and the crowd reflected it all back, with bleacher fans cheering them and veteran actors noting their presence."It's fantastic. It's beyond our dreams, " said Tanay Chheda, who played the "middle" age protagonist Jamal, as he glanced around at the gaggle of famous faces jamming the long red carpet.The group chattered happily away to reporters sticking microphones and cameras in their smiling faces. Asked by one to show off their dance moves, they eagerly complied, with Tanay Chheda proclaiming: "All Indians can dance. "They frequently talked over each other, but all agreed they want to be in more movies. Lonkar admitted she hoped to meet Tom Cruise and tell him: "Hi, I'm your biggest fan. "It may well be difficult to readjust to life at home once their American sojourn is over. But then again, the sights and sounds the 'Slumdog' children are currently experiencing will probably be happy memories for a lifetime.

Slumdog's Oscar victory sends a message to the world

Before "Slumdog Millionaire's" amazing Oscar win pundits were wondering whether art might imitate life. On Sunday night, on the crystal-swathed stage of the Kodak Theatre, and in front of the world's biggest celebrities and a huge global audience, the cliche came true, and then some.The Mumbai-based movie about the unlikely rise of an inconsequential Indian pauper to win India's most popular game show, won an even more remarkable victory when it swept eight Oscars, including the most coveted one of all for Best Picture of the year.To put that achievement in perspective, the $14-million movie almost didn't get shown in the US, when its original distributor pulled out of the indie film market after deciding that there was no real chance for a film that was half in Hindi to succeed in the US.That decision surely ranks alongside that of the producer who passed on the Beatles for failing to recognise how one piece of art can be so profound as to change the entire context which surrounds it."Slumdog... " did what all great art aspires to: it communicated across boundaries of culture, geography, economy and language. It shone a light into the heart of characters from Mumbai, but in so doing it taught everyone who saw it - from Mumbai to Milan, from Bangkok to Brazil, and from Lagos to Los Angeles, something about themselves and their immediate world.Penelope Cruz, who won the supporting actress award for portraying a mentally unstable Spanish woman in "Vicky Christina Barcelona", best explained the magic that lay behind "Slumdog's" success."I always felt that this ceremony was a moment of unity for the world, " said Cruz, "because art in any form has been will be and will always be our universal language. "The movie has already earned close to $160 million at the global box office, and the Oscar win will surely boost its earning significantly.That could profoundly change the way films are made and distributed, giving filmmakers and the investors who back them more courage to pursue vibrant, global movies that celebrate cultures and characters that go beyond the usual Hollywood star system.By choosing "Slumdog" as the year's best movie, the power players of the US film industry also sent a strong message around the world, one that echoed the political approach of the country's new underdog president. No more American hegemony, but new collaboration and respect for the other peoples of the world and their traditions, creativity and culture.The uniqueness and unmatched energy of "Slumdog's" approach was clear even on the Oscar red carpet. As the regular phalanx of stars strutted the carpet in their glamorous designer togs, the cast and crew of "Slumdog" looked like a big happy family on an annual outing - albeit somewhat incongruously dressed in tuxedos and gowns.The contrast between the glitz of Hollywood and the grit of Mumbai was striking, but it was also part of the message."Together we have been on an extraordinary journey, " said producer Christian Colson as he was surrounded on stage by dozens of the cast and crew. "When we started out we had no stars or muscle, we didn't have enough money to do what we wanted to do. We had passion and we had belief and our film shows if you have those two things truly anything is possible. "As though to prove the point, the world's biggest movie stars howled their approval, and gave him a standing ovation.

When he gets back, we will express our delirious happiness and much more We are speechless," said the ecstatic sister.Reihana had predicted two Oscars for Rahman during a chat with Sunday.Rahman picked up the awards for his best original score as also the best original song "Jai ho" from the film with lyrics by Gulzar and Sukhwinder Singh as the lead singer.Asked if she had any special gift in mind for her brother, Reihana said: "I haven't planned one as yet. But I think Rahman should give me a gift since I prayed so hard for him to win!"She once again stressed that it was God's blessings that had made Rahman triumph at the Academy Awards."Once he returns, Rahman and I and the rest of the family will go on thanksgiving pilgrimages to several dargahs (Muslim shrines) to express our gratitude to God for blessing us so mercifully and in such magnitude," Reihana said."We hope this means more Hollywood offers for Rahman after this," the proud sister added.Accolades for the music maestro poured in from his colleagues from the film industry here.Tanvi Shah, who sang part of the Oscar winning number "Jai Ho", jumped with joy and said that Rahman had won the Oscars for the whole nation."I'm just so thankful to God for this.

Art of Body Painting

Tattoo designs have become a passion among the people and have started to spread its branches wide. It seems like everyone has a tattoo these days. What used to be the property of sailors, outlaws, and biker gangs is now a popular body decoration for many people. And it's not just anchors, skulls, and battleships anymore — from school emblems to modern designs to personalized symbols, people have found many ways to express themselves with their tattoos.The adornment of tattoo designs was earning popularity before. But in the recent days, the art of tattoo design learning have gained familiarity among the people. Tattoo has been around for a long time. Throughout history, tattoos were worn as a decoration. A tattoo is a puncture wound, made deep in your skin, that's filled with ink. It's made by penetrating your skin with a needle and injecting ink into the area, usually creating some sort of design. Maybe you've thought about getting one. But before you head down to the nearest tattoo shop and roll up your sleeve, there are a few things you need to know.Tattoos used to be done manually — that is, the tattoo artist would puncture the skin with a needle and inject the ink by hand. Though this process is still used in some parts of the world, most tattoo shops use a tattoo machine these days. A tattoo machine is a handheld electric instrument that uses a tube and needle system. On one end is a sterilized needle, which is attached to tubes that contain ink. A foot switch is used to turn on the machine, which moves the needle in and out while driving the ink about 1/8 inches (about 3 millimeters) into your skin. The outline will be cleaned with antiseptic soap and water. The tattoo artist will clean and disinfect the to-be-tattooed area. Any blood will be removed by a sterile, disposable cloth or towel. When finished, the area, now sporting a finished tattoo, will be cleaned once again and a bandage will be applied.Think TwiceIf you're thinking about getting a tattoo, there is one very important thing you have to keep in mind — getting it done safely. Although it might look a whole lot cooler than a big scab, a new tattoo is also a wound. It's very important to make sure the tattoo studio is clean and safe, and that all equipment used is disposable (in the case of needles, gloves, masks, etc.) and sterilized (everything else). Make sure the tattoo studio has an autoclave. If you have a medical problem such as heart disease, allergies, diabetes, skin disorders, a condition that affects your immune system, or infections — or if you are pregnant — ask your doctor if there are any special concerns you should have or precautions you should take beforehand. Also, if you're prone to getting keloids it's probably best to avoid getting a tattoo altogether.Easy Way of getting TattooFor those tattoo lovers who cant take pain of needle. Temporaray tattoos are not true tattoos in that they don't result in permanent pigmentation of the skin, but they can produce a similar appearance for some short amount of time. The most common style of temporary tattoo is a type of body sticker. These tattoos are generally applied to the skin using water to temporarily transfer the design to the surface of the skin. Although, temporary tattoos themselves are waterproof they can be removed easily with oil-based creams and only last a few days. They are popular with children. Today's temporary tattoos use vegetable dyes and a layer of glue similar to what is found in an adhesive bandage. How to Care of a TattooTo make sure your tattoo heals properly the last step is taking care of it fully. Don’t touch the tattooed area and don’t pick at any scabs that may form. Keep a bandage on the area for up to 24 hours. Wash the tattoo with an antibacterial soap and use a soft towel to dry the tattoo — just pat it dry and be sure not to rub it. Put an ice pack on the tattooed area if you see any redness or swelling. Try not to get the tattoo wet until it fully heals. Keep your tattoo away from the sun until it's fully healed.If you're outside often it's recommended that you always wear a sunscreen with a minimum sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 on the tattoo. This not only protects your skin, but keeps the tattoo from fading.So enjoy this body art but be careful also.

81st Oscars Academy Awards underway

LOS ANGELES: The final countdown to the 81st Academy Awards were underway here Saturday, with feel-good movie "Slumdog Millionaire" poised to romp home with the coveted best picture Oscar.Less than 48 hours before the entertainment industry's most glamorous night of the year, workers were putting the finishing touches to their preparations at the Kodak Theater in the heart of Hollywood.The build-up to this year's ceremony has been dominated by India-set rags-to-riches fable "Slumdog", which has dominated other awards shows and is considered the overwhelming favorite for the best picture statuette.Although period drama "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" will start the night with the most nominations, 13, compared to 10 for "Slumdog," experts say that British director Danny Boyle's film looks unstoppable.Pundits say "Slumdog" has delighted audiences with its rags-to-riches plot about a Mumbai tea boy who rises out of poverty and enters a television quiz show to win millions and be reunited with the love of his life.The against-the-odds triumph of the film's central character is mirrored by the movie's improbable march towards Oscars glory. Made for only 15 million dollars, the film features a cast of unknown actors and is partially subtitled.Other rivals in the best picture category are "Benjamin Button," political drama "Frost/Nixon," biopic "Milk" and Holocaust drama "The Reader."Sean Penn, who plays a trailblazing gay politician in "Milk", and Kate Winslet, who plays a Nazi death camp guard in "The Reader" are the front-runners in the best actor and actress categories.However Penn faces stiff competition from Mickey Rourke, who won last month's Golden Globes for playing a washed up prizefighter in "The Wrestler."Winslet's hopes of a first Academy Award after missing out on five previous occasions are threatened by two-time Oscar-winner Meryl Streep, with Melissa Leo ("Frozen River") tipped as a dark horse.In the supporting categories, late Australian actor Heath Ledger is poised to become only the second performer in history to win a posthumous Oscar, a year after his death from a drug overdose in New York.In the supporting actress category, Penelope Cruz is favorite the first Spanish actress to win an Oscar for her performance in Woody Allen comedy "Vicky Cristina Barcelona."The other element of surprise around Sunday's show is the new-look format being promised by organizers as they seek to bounce back from 2008 television viewing figures that were the worst in Oscars history.

A R Rahman bags BAFTA for Slumdog Millionaire

British filmmaker Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire", Mumbai-based rags-to-riches movie, has won top honours at Britain's most prestigious film awards with a sweeping seven wins, including best film. It beat four other contenders Sunday - "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "Frost/Nixon", "Milk" and "The Reader" - to win best film at the awards ceremony in London's Royal Opera House."Slumdog Millionaire" also won the best director award for Danny Boyle, racing ahead of Clint Eastwood for "Changeling", David Fincher for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", Ron Howard for "Frost/Nixon" and Stephen Daldry for "The Reader".The film also won awards for adapted screenplay, music (Indian composer A.R. Rahman), editing, cinematography and sound, as it continued its improbable march to the Academy Awards later this month. "David Lean said you should announce your ambition for the film in the first five minutes," Boyle said. "In that spirit, I'd like to announce my ambition for this speech - my father's power went out last night. A big shout-out to everyone who helped him run the extension cable in so he could watch this." "Slumdog Millionaire" is considered the front runner for the Oscars with 10 nominations and has already dominated the Golden Globes, while also picking up prizes from the Producers Guild of America, Directors Guild of America, Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild of America.The best actress award went to Kate Winslet for her role in "The Reader". Winslet, who was also nominated in the same category for "Revolutionary Road", said: "To get this award at home means a lot to me." It's her second BAFTA, the first in 1995 for her supporting role in "Sense and Sensibility".Mickey Rourke won the best actor prize for his portrayal of a comeback fighter in "The Wrestler" and thanked director Darren Aronofsky for giving him a second chance. "Such a pleasure to be here and be out of the darkness," he said.Penelope Cruz took home the best supporting actress prize for "Vicky Cristina Barcelona", while the supporting actor award went posthumously to Heath Ledger for "The Dark Knight".The "Curious Case of Benjamin Button", the Brad Pitt-starrer about a man who ages backwards, was nominated for 11, but won just three awards - for production design, special effects and hair and make-up. "I've Loved You So Long" (France) won the top prize for best foreign film.The ceremony of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, held weeks before the Academy Awards in Los Angeles, is one of the highlights of the year's awards season.

I'm not dating Britney Spears: Sandip

Ace Indian choreographer Sandeep Soparrkar wants to once and for all put to rest rumours about his alleged affair with Britney Spears and says he is too much in love with his partner Jesse Randhawa to even think of dating the American pop star."I don't want to talk much about it as I am already in the news for the wrong reasons, but I want to make one thing clear that I am not dating Britney Spears," Soparrkar told IANS over telephone from Mumbai.Just a few months ago, the international media was abuzz with the news that Spears is dating Soparrkar. Media reports had said that the two met at Madonna's party, hit it off immediately and later Spears came to India to spend time with him."I am very much in love with my partner Jesse Randhawa. I enjoy dancing with her. Whenever I dance with her, it gives me a feeling of closeness and pleasure," he added.Soparrkar specialises in Latin American ballroom dancing and says the attitude of Indians towards this dance form is changing and people are now taking it seriously."People are becoming aware about treating dance as a career option and those who are serious know how to go about it. Dance is not a hobby any more and many study dance as their subject," he said."The most important thing is to understand and learn dance; only then can you excel in classes. There are people who are born with some dancing skills, but it is something that can be learnt over a period of years," he added.While many have taken to learning western dances like salsa, Latino, rumba and cha-cha-cha, Soparrkar feels that the popularity of Bollywood dances overshadow these elegant dance forms."Bollywood dancing is the weirdest dance form and it can be learnt as a hobby. All those moves look good on screen and they are fun. Bollywood has a major influence on our everyday life and people love to imitate the moves of a popular song, but it isn't a serious dance form," the dancer said.While Bollywood actors like Hrithik Roshan and Shahid Kapur have become a rage for their dancing skills, Soparrkar's personal favourite is Govinda, who according to him is a carefree and energetic dancer."He dances so beautifully and his effortless moves and great expressions make him a treat to watch. He dances from the heart and you can see the pleasure dancing gives him," he said.Although he finds Bollywood dance weird, Soparrkar will be choreographing for three movies - "Raftar 24x7", "Cyclone" and "Phir Kabhi", which features Dimple Kapadia and Mithun Chakraborty."I'm not going to follow the Bollywood style. It will be a completely different form of dancing," he said.Soparrkar made his debut on the small screen last year with music reality show "Chak De Shehar Di Kudiyan Te Galli De Gunde". This year too the salsa expert is one of the judges on new reality TV series "CBF Stunner 10" on UTV Bindaas.The show, aired every Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., aims to spread awareness about safe biking amongst youngsters."The competition takes care of your overall personality and it is not just a show. It is a platform that prepares young aspirants to achieve their goal. We are just a guiding factor to help teach them basic things that will help them in the long run," Soparrkar said.
