An Oscar winning plot

If you are looking for inspiring story, sorry. This is life of a person who might have once dreamed that her life would be an inspiring story on its own. But the plot laid for her was all together different.

I used to wonder why the word plot is associated to life. I thought it should be tale. This is one of the plot that tells me why.

Zana probably planned for a very different tale for Preethi while working for the film and believed in the tale when their work got recognition at the Oscars. Mann traoch, Gott lauch. And the tale turned into plot. Nothing different happened, as if Born Into Brothels didn't happen, except that she had a better play time that other kids around, playing with the camera.

From what Preethi says, it seems that the only left out option is Mann has to lauch when Gott traoch. I am new to Yiddish, so don't hunt me for grammar mistakes.

When Slumdog Millionarie has won applauds, criticisms arouse saying that it portrayed India in deteriorating way. I would request the critics to first stop the deteriorating things from happening in real and then think about deteriorating things shown on reel.

The whole story... Preethi being Born Into Brothels even after getting recognition from Zana's Born Into Brothels would definitely make another Oscar winning plot. Any takers...?
