Rented a Vauxhall Corsa on Saturday because of inadequate seats in my car to bring all of us to Birmingham. Chose that car coz its mileage was only 6,000 miles & it was a 1.2 .. so better mileage per gallon (at least that was what we thought). So it was 6 + 3. All to celebrate Amir's & Maisarah's birthday.

Hassled Mr Dentist to download the movie that I wanted to watch: Slumdog Millionaire
I had actually downloaded it already but left it at home. Did so because when I checked IMDB, the rating given was 8.1 out of 10.0!!! That's the first time I saw a movie rated higher than 8.0

True to its rating, we enjoyed the movie tremendously that we watched it again on Sunday. It's about a boy (Jamal) from the slum (Dharavi) who is one question away from the jackpot of 20 million Rupees, but accused of cheating. Pretty reasonable to accuse him of cheating. How does a slum kid from Mumbai know where Cambridge Circus is in England? How does a slum kid from India know whose face is on the USD100? Now that's where it really gets interesting. He knows the answers! In fact these are answers (or more like information) which he could never forget.

Watch it! You won't regret it. Gotta go pack. Disneyland is calling .. he he.
