Words Cannot Describe It

A friend and I went to see Slumdog Millionaire last night.





As you know this movie has won a ton of awards. It was really a great movie. Kind of a Forrest Gump on violence.


I was not only moved by the movie, but by the sheer difference in the culture of India and the culture of the U.S.





I'm not certain, but I assume most people in the U.S. have running water.






I also am fairly certain that most children don't live in slums.




At least not to this magnitude.






Although our great country is not perfect. I felt extremely thankful for all the things we have, a great peaceful government, running water, shelter and the access to public help if we need it.


If you prefer reading, A Fine Balance also gives you a glimpse of those in India who are less fortunate.

Now I'm ready to grab all these gorgeous children from the slums of India and bring them home with me.
