Lately I saw this new 'so-called' Hollywood movie A Million Dollar Arm. Of what the makers claim, the movie is based on two Indian guys who were picked up by an American contractor to give them a chance to be a part of international baseball teams. The process involved selecting the best from the Indian masses, give them required training in America and then have them give their best short in front of the selectors.
Besides what's said and done, I felt the movie stood more to showcase the poor side of India than to concentrate on baseball. The extent to which the comparison in India and US has been shown, it could have drawn me red and furious but in contrast to that, I was actually laughing inside. It was humorous to see their desperation to show what they wanted to, to see that it's only what they want to show and is not the reality, to see how happy they are to believe only what they want to. These people are just like an ostrich who in case of a problem digs its head in a deep hole assuming if he cannot see the enemy coming, so would the enemy.
C'mon guys, grow up! If this sick strategy of yours helps you earn your dollars, then it's time to find a better way out. Use your unused innovative minds and look for something more logical than to clinging to a single age old formula. Showing a country in a miserable state again and again isn't going to hamper it's growth, but is only going to prove you wrong.
India is a growing country and even if the growth is slow, it is still making it's way further. It has it's own issues to tackle in order to accelerate everything. But this doesn't mean that anyone can just drop in and make it a source of income for themselves. Anyways, from next time on, if I get a chance to watch a movie of this league, I would definitely go, not just to watch it, but to laugh on the sickness again!! ;)
