the oscars

i haven't even seen slumdog, but when the awards were announced yesterday, my heart was filled with joy. not for the movie that i wasn't in a place to judge anyway, but for the world that continues to grow smaller, and for the slum children who found themselves on the stage and in the spotlight. also for the music of a.r. rahman that will perhaps now touch many more souls. no matter the controversies that arose, that had to arise, the movie was destined to win. imagine the number of prayers that were behind it :).
