Slumdog stars - not shining in schools !!!

           Monthly stipend of $120, trips to Los Angeles, Hong Kong, London and alot of other privileges in schooling !! Those lucky kids are 10-year-old Rubina Alia and 11-year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail,the stars who shone in the 8 Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire. Anappartment of worth $50,000 has been given to Azharuddin and anotherappartment is about to be given to Rubina. Also a lump sum amount iswaiting for them after they cross 18 years of age. But the funny thingis that these kids do not go to school and they keep on going on tripsand functions. Azharuddin shows only 37% of attendance and Rubina isstill worse with 27%.


         Rubina (Junior Lathika) and Azharuddin (Junior Salim) are really from wretched slums and they were boarded in a Mumbai school by director Danny Boyle. And they are given all those privileges under the condition that they have to complete the schooling. But now the trust has threatened that they would cancel their stipend if they do not show good attendance in schools. The trust just recommend them to go on trips on weekends so that they can complete their education. On the other hand their parents say that their absence were due to some deaths in family and their kids would attend the school from now on.


         Everyone will not get chance but those who get chances never use it to the fullest. Let's see in which case do these kids fall in the future.
