It said :
'We are in a financial crisis. The rupee is weakening everyday. So there is an urgent need for a "2nd Swadesi Movement!". Please buy goods produced by Indian companies.

India's Old Currency
This series remained largely unchanged till the introduction of 'King's Potrait' series which commenced in 1923.
The introduction of small denomination notesin India essentially in the realm of the exigent. Compulsions of the first World War led to the introduction of paper currency of small denominations. Rupee One was introduced in 30th November, 1917 followed by the exotic Rupees Two and Annas Eight. The issuance of these notes was discontinued on 1st January, 1926 on cost benifit considerations. These notes first carried the potrait of King George V and were the precursors of the 'King's Portrait' Series which were to follow.
As an added security feature, the security thread was introduced for the first time in India.
The George VI series continued till 1947 and thereafter as a frozen series till 1950 when the post independence notes were issued.

Slumdog Millionair
Slumdog Millionair ..... a brilliant movie by Danny Boyle
A same old rags to riches story, but very well told, offering you a roller coaster of emotion, drama intertwined with a heartwarming lovestory.
Vikas and Simon have done their research and the result is a shocking reality of the slum life which we barely know but exists out there...
True-to-life view of the slums of India, shocking to admit but true to its core. The director captured the emotion and hardship which might lead a person to do wrong, and yet though it is easy to take the wrong path it is not that quiet difficult to take the right one, such is the story of Salim and Jamaal from the slums of Mumbai. Though both came from the same background and faced the same dire situations Jamaal chose to be good and Salim chose to be bad.
Dev Patel made a perfect Jamaal Malik. Performaces by all the stars was excellent.
