Plot Q1147

(woh jo buzurg kehte hain na: agar tumhari koi dua qabool nahi hui to samjho usi main tumhari bhlaii thi)

In 1998, there was an interesting movie made called "Sliding Doors". Storyline revolves around a girl who just get fired from her job and is now rushing to catch a train. And here you go! - movie bifurcates into two simultaneously running parts. In one, she catches the train before sliding door of train close - and in second, she misses the train as sliding door closes on her. (Trailer here)

So - many times in life things happen or they don't happen

Today, one of my friend who is very near and dear to me as he understands my psychological dyslexia, sends me a true story of a desi man, who accidentally won the biggest jackpot of UK's lottery - but then - life took an ugly turn.

"From an £18m win to an unmarked grave: How the life of Britain's first big lottery winner ended with divorce, a prostitute's love child and rejection by his community in a salutary tale for anyone who dreams of the jackpot.

Read yourself. (link).

As someone made an interesting comment at the end of the article: "People could have remembered him and sung his praises, (but) he was a weak man who succumbed to temptation and carnal desires.’

EyeAre: Boss! Can I suggest something. Change the title of the post. The soul of the post seems lost as with title of the movie, it looks like a review of the movie. My suggested title is plot Q1147 (his grave number).

Are we not getting judgmental here?? - it is just one side of the story, and that's also of a dead man.

Sadly, it is quite common. I have read few other articles about lottery winners and what a zoo their life become. I cannot imagine the psychological trauma one goes through if subjected to such powerful change. I think the ex in this case moved on okay. The article hints that the children from her are fine as well. I cannot imagine how somebody can become that desperate that he starts going to clubs and spending money on women who clearly are with you for your money and money only? How lonely can one become.

Anony: I think, you are right in one way but there is always a lesson to be learned from people's life.
