slumdog millionaire
you know how annoying it is when everybody keeps on asking me questions about how i lived here in india after watching this slumdog millionaire movie?? i mean question like "eh u guys kt sana sama mcm dalam slumdog tu ke? eeeeewww!" *ok not exactly eeeww lah, but i know they mean to say that by their facial expression* and it was so irritating answering them! i hope after reading this entry people will stop eeeeew2 us!
first and foremost, slumdog millionaire is basically scened in Mumbai ok, yesss that overpopulated Mumbai. but i am here in Bangalore, sophisticated Bangalore! cant u guys at least google that before asking?? we are here in the sillicon valley of india ok, and their IT and technologies are wayyyyyyyyyy better than any other country. oh just dont deny that. unless u are a katak bawah tempurung of course u wont know.
well of course theres slum area here and there, but i'v never seen as large as the one screened in slumdog. seriously. relax ah, kt KL pun bersepah lagi setinggan so x payah nak overrated eeeeww2 kan kita org kt sini.
ohhh and another irritating question! "eh korang kat sana makan chappati ngan curry je lah hari2?" OMG. thats not even funny guysss. FYI, we've been stuffing our tummy with foods from all over the world! and FYI again, pizza hutt, baskin robin, ice spice and razzmatazz *western food*, fresska *italiano*, beijing *chinese cuisine*, food bay *arabian cuisine* , barista and coffee day, cassino and relish *indian cuisine*, haa ini lah tempat2 kita org lunch! and its just a walking distance from our college. doesnt that sound internatioanl enough to u??? pfffft!
oh i forgot to mention, kita org kt sini kalau boring2 lepas class and terasa nk shopping, ada lah dua tiga kedai yang ada dekat2 college. contoh nya united colors of benetton, levis, lee, wrangler, samsonite, adidas, reebok, ni sumpah mmg walking distance ok? korang ada ke? xkottt. and kalau macam penat2 atau sakit bahu bawak bag kita org yg berat tu nk thai massage atau pun nak buat padi-mani semua nya ada dpn college.
ha dah kalau kedai2 mcm tu dh ada depan mata, kt M.G road *tolong lah belajar google siket org2 yg perasan maju tu* and all the malls xpyh ckp lh kn? we've been wearing MNG, esprit, tommy hilfiger, FCUK, springfield, guess, marks n spencer, selamba je pergi class. ohh kalau ada yg kaya sikit boleh ah nk beli LV ke, salvatore ferragamo ke, hermes ke, chanel ke. kt sini ada ok?? anytime pon boleh pergi. *mampu tak mampu je persoalan dia*
i know i sounded like suka gila ngan india ni, but thats not the main point here. just so everybody knows, india ni x de lah seburuk yg digambarkan *bangalore at least*. memang lah byk keburukan nya, tapi sbb semua org asyik nak cakap keburukan je let me be the one yang ckp tentang kemajuan! ini baru ckp places around college, im afraid if i elaborate more you guys will go oooooohh and waaaaaahh non-stop. hahahah!
to all the people who never been to bangalore, i tell u, u wont regret. especially when im still around *wink wink :)* and to those yang x bersyukur2 lagi dgn apa yang dah ada, and x puas2 lagi regret dpt study kt india tapi bukan UK mahupun US, ni nk pesan dua benda je 1) sedar asal usul boleh tak? 2) berpijak lah di bumi yang nyata. ikhlas ni :)
f-a-m: studying medicine here in india is the GREATEST achievement in my life so far, thats why i never ask for more. syukur alhamdulillah :)

raihan.
i know India not bad as i ever imagine before. since i ada friend from India, New Delhi to be specific but he in Malaysia currently and he is SUPER PROUD of his 'INDIA' x sanggup i nak layan. :p
and i guess ramai yang tak tau yang among richest people in the world dari India got a few juga. eg: Lakshmi Mittal and Mukesh Ambani and to name a few.
so, all in all one should look at themselves before judging others. x gitu?
aku ni dah mcm duduk kat India juga dah gamaknya. :p
sekian, terima kasih.
mill: ha teruja ah jugak time first2 datang. ohhhhh wahhhh jugak lh.hehe!
izzati: hahahahah. masih lagi ngan ur DELHI friend??? good good! ok obviously u knw indian people wayyyy bttr than myself! hahaha. ha harus lh ramai org kaya2 kat sini. setujuuuu :))

hahaha
alalalalalhaiii, kesian betul! hahaha nak buat mcm mana kn. redha je lah. hantar mms lah setiap hari, tunjuk kulit awak makin licin setiap hari :))
mmmm..raihan...i agreed with all ur statemenet but about the it thingy, they just claim they got the wayyyyy better techno than any other country, but unfortuantely they are not...contohnya, intenet kat sini paling gempak pon 1mbps tapi kat msia dah sampai 4mbps yg mana harga bulanan jauh sangta murah berbanding kita kat sini,,,dan tempat lain contohnya kat france dorang dah mencecah 16mbps...
and satu lagi pasal bank kat oindia yg mana takder sistem online banking yg jauh sangat kolot kot..
tapi apa2 yg digambarkan kat slumdo millionaire adalah sangat bertepatan ngan kehidupan kita kat sini..
dan attitude org india pon macam undeniable, exactly sama ngan citer tuh...maksudnya perangai yg bertamdun yg kat malaysia dah lupus dah...setinggan kat malaysia pon jauh lagi better than people here in india seriously
kalau nak bandingkan india nyer education, yes!!memang dorang gempak...tapi bende2 lain takleh lawan malaysia in any aspect pon.
hehe..chill
ok bobo sgt panjang lebar comment anda. tapi rasanya kita mcm dh terbalik je ni???
hahahah. it is a fact actually tht IT kt india ni berkembang maju, its just that they are too many poor people and dia org bkn lh negara yg kaya utk apply kat negara sendiri, thats y other countries pay engineers and doctors from india for thousands of dollars.
xboleh lah nak banding kan india dgn negara maju2 mcm tu, nama pon negara yg sedang nk membangun. bkn developED country, mcm france ke apa.
all in all i can say this is all about economy and politics.
hi u ollz..
hi babe.. chill chill... well some people are plain ignorant and there's no way you can keep their mouths shut unless they educate themselves a little bit more about the world and realise how shallow their minds have been.
i also kena from this banyak kali already; well not the same situation... but almost. haha...
clap2 sket utk raihan bersame spek barunya...
betullah ape yg ko ckp tu..their tech are among the highest but it isnt apply to their own country..the tech is develop by their fellow countrymen but cant be applied because:-
1. Tech is not their priority to developed. byk lg bende lain. sbb tech is not for all but for a niche population.
2. Demand for high tech is not wide enough. Aku rase internet yg high capacity mcm bdak msia je yg apply. So takkan laa diorg nk buat smpi 16MB just for bdak msia yg berapa kerat je compare ngn population india. Sape yg nk tanggung upgrading cost??
Ape2 yg mahal kat sini kene terima la..jgn laa expect ini msia..Msia we have middle class to control the purchasing power. But here conglomerate who controls them. Sini jurang kaya-miskin amat laa luas nye..jadi dorg kesah ape letak harga mahal2 sbb yg kaye still boleh bayar. Yg kesempitan dlm hal ni bdak msia laa..
tu laa serba sedikit pendapat aku..
ikiey: hi olls :)
winn: yess. 100% agree. i rasa mcm kesian lah jugak sometimes dgn org2 yg berfikiran pendek,cetek, tertutup ni. haaaa amek kau! hahaha. so we just chill lah kan. and smile, sambil gelak dalam hati ok?
butet: wahhhh dh mcm pemimpin dah pendapat dia. hahahaha. couldnt agree more with wht u wrote sbb pendapat anda sama dgn saya :))
no comment!!..hahaha nk mncapap gak..
to butet:..ecece..hebat seyh!!..hahaha...
chehhhh no comment denin! hahaha tu lah pasal hebat gila butet! haha *kagummmmm*
