I have been using an old version of WordPress, the software that powers this blog. I didn’t upgrade it until now, because I didn’t have the time, and it looked a bit complicated, so many files to delete, replace and update. I want to tell you that I have upgraded WordPress today to the latest version 2.8. It was a simple and easy process.

A visitor to the blog may not see any changes, but the changes are in administration of the blog. It is better, easier to navigate and with many improvements.

I have opened an account with Twitter yesterday. Yes, it might seem strange that I did so only now, but as they say, it is better late than never.

I intend to write at my Twitter updates about the website, blog and forums, inspiring quotes and some other useful information and stuff.

In case you are wondering why the blog has not been updated for more than a week, the reason is that I have been very busy for the last few weeks, and therefore had little time writing new articles for the blog and the website. I have also a lot of mail to take care of, which I intend to read and reply. I believe I will have more time from next week.

A few days ago I went to the cinema with my wife and friends, to see the film Slumdog Millionaire. It is an interesting film, and we have enjoyed watching it, but it very different from the usual Hollywood movies.

The plot runs around the show “Who Wants to be a millionaire”, and shows the life story of a simple, uneducated 18 years old orphan from the slums of Mumbay, who takes part in show, and surprisingly has all the correct answers. This raises the suspicion that someone is helping him, and so, while being integrated by the police, he reveals how he knew each answer. The film is built of a series of flashback to the hero’s earlier life, all connected with the right answers to the questions of the show.

Through these flashbacks we learn about Jamal Malik, the hero of the film, about the other characters, and see different aspects of life in India. We are introduced to Jamal and his brother Salim, who became orphans when their mother was killed, and to Latika, another orphan. We see them, as they grow older, engaging in all kinds of jobs, and going through all kinds of situations.

Everything moves very fast in the film, from one scene to another and from one incident to another, not allowing any development of the character and behavior of the heroes’ of the film, yet the plot, sights, sounds and action are riveting and hold the attention of the spectators throughout the whole film.

I recommend watching the film.

Director: Danny Boyle
Jamal, main actor: Dev Patel
Latika, main actress: Freida Pinto

I have added an articles directory to the website, where you can find articles on personal development, spirituality, meditation, new age, achieving success and other related topics, written by various authors and experts.

Actually, this is the “Guest Articles” section of the website, which has been renamed “Articles Directory”. The articles have been rearranged according to topics, and new articles were added.

I intend to add to the articles directory many more articles and more topics that have to do with inner development. It is going  to become a directory of good quality articles, with practical information and advice.

You can find the articles directory at:
www.successconsciousness.com/articles/topics-articles.html

You can also find it through a link present on each page of the website, in the right side menu.
