The film is based on a famous novel, Five Point Someone written by Indian writer Chetan Bhagat. However, Chetan Bhagat has said that he was not involved in the scriptwriting of this movie. 3 Idiots is likely to be a big Christmas Gift to all Bollywood fans.

3 Idiots Synopsis 

"Two friends (Madhavan and Sharman Joshi) embark on a quest for a lost buddy. On this journey, they encounter a long forgotten bet, a wedding they must crash and a funeral that goes impossibly out of control. As they make their way through the perilous landscape, another journey begins: their inner journey through memory lane and the story of their friend – the irrepressible free thinker Rancho (Aamir Khan), who in his unique way, touched and changed their lives. It’s a story of their hostel days that swings between Rancho’s romance with the spirited Pia (Kareena Kapoor), and his clash with an oppressive mentor, Viru Sahastrabudhhe (Boman Irani). And then one day, suddenly, Rancho vanishes….

Who was he? Where did he come from? Why did he leave?
The friend who influenced and inspired them to think creatively and independently, even as the conformist world called them three idiots. Where is the original idiot now?
Finally in misty mountains of unparalleled beauty, the friends find the key to the secret.

Three Idiots is a comedy of ideas that is as provocative as funny, as wildly entertaining as insightful. A laugh-riot that talks about the most important of human pursuits: self-actualization.

Crorepati By Chance

I am writing a very interesting instance of becoming a crorepati of a ordinary businessman but only for few hours on Dhanteras day. People says it was the blessings of Goddess Laxmi  on him. What is your view please comments on the following story.
On Dhanteras, Jugalkishore Jangid, 32, a carpenter who belongs to Devan village near Jaipur but has been living in Ahmedabad for the last 13 years,  had a date with destiny. When early on Thursday, October 15, 2009 he went to  the Punjab National Bank (PNB) ATM near New Cloth Market to withdraw cash and pay his workers for Diwali , he was surprised to find that he had suddenly turned  into a ‘crorepati’. He got a balance slip from the ATM showing that his balance  in his bank account had jumped from Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 59.30 crore by the grace of  Goddess Laxmi and he had no idea about the source of the extra cash. Initially, he  thought it was a mistake and went to another ATM, but the balance did not change. He was so baffled, he did not have the courage to withdraw Rs 20,000 to pay his workers.
He promptly contacted PNB authorities. Bank authorities approached the headquarters in Delhi,  where it was confirmed that a technical error in the ATM server had caused the huge amount  being transferred to Jangid’s account. He said since the ATM and bank account servers are different, the money was not credited in the account despite the ATM showing the colossal transfer.

The bank acknowledges the uprightness of the customer as he refrained from operating the  account. The bank and Gujarat Chamber of Commerce is going to felicitate him in a public function.

Like his father and uncle, Raj is a gifted painter and a cartoonist. When asked what he would have done had he not joined politics Raj Thackeray said: "In my college days, I wanted to work with Walt Disney Studios. I drew cartoons even before my foray in politics. Film making is also a passion. I would have been doing either of these things.

Michael Jackson

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years, five of his solo studio albums have become some of the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995). In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African-American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and Thriller - credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool - helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists. Jackson donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundation, charity singles and support of 39 charities. Other aspects of his personal life, including his changing appearance and behavior, generated significant controversy, damaging his public image. Though he was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993, the criminal investigation was closed due to lack of evidence and Jackson was not charged. The singer has experienced health concerns since the early 1990s and conflicting reports regarding the state of his finances since the late 1990s. Jackson married twice and fathered three children, all of which caused further controversy. In 2005, Jackson was tried and acquitted of further sexual abuse allegations and several other charges. One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records - including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time" - 13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career - more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era - and the sales of over 750 million albums worldwide. Cited as one of the world's most famous men, Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, has made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades. After being taken to the hospital in a coma, Jackson was pronounced dead on June 25, 2009.
