I can’t find out what the film is on the internet, so please help if you can

I watched it a couple years ago on the BBC, and it was probably a 15 or 18 (it had sex references, swearing)

And it was about a girl who lived in East London (probably London, or maybe not)

She was Asian, and it was about 1960 – 1980 and she moved to London, and was about 13 – 14 and her and her family were racially abused because they were immigrants. She makes a friend, and there was notably a line she taught her which was ‘shag the a*se of it’ and her friend slept with a boy

and her friend and others racially attacked her uncle and killed him

and then i think at the end of the film the girl movede out of there and there was a card that said ‘happy christmas’ but i think the girl changed it to ‘Diwali’ and said how she didnt celebrate Xmas and it was also a leaving card

what is the real definition of close cousins..i have this one cousin who i always see when i’m in india..during my past trips to india, he was always picking us up from the airport..after i came back from india, he called me in 2004 for raksha bandhan, then in 2005 he called me for my birthday, then he called for new year’s..after that, he called me for the occassion of diwali, and started complaining i stopped writing and calling, then suggested i call and write once in a while to catch up..this year, i talked to him in february, three times in july and august on the phone.. i met him during his trip to the usa in july, and i write to him once in a while..when i called him in february, he couldnt take my call and he called me back after 3 days..when i called him for raksha bandhan, the minutes on my phone card ran out, and he called me back within 2 minutes..are we close..

when my aunt and uncle were visiting us from india, my aunt told my mom to call her brother for raksha bandhan. she told her brother that she will not remember him because he didnt come visit her in america. is that rude? last year, my cousin was in the usa but he didnt come visit me. i went there and i only got to spend three days with him. after he went back to india, i only wrote to him when he asked me to. i sort of missed him alot. when i called him for raksha bandhan last year, my minutes on my phone card ran out and he called me back within two seconds. this year, he came to america again with his wife and 2 sons and they came to visit me for five days. after they left, i realized that they wanted to spend five days with me so i remember them. they flew from india to new yorl, then from new york to california, then from california back to india. they took a 7 am flight from new york and arrived in california around 10 am pst. they went back to india on june 23rd. they flew directly from california and took the last flight in the evening. his kids started their school on july 1st. after they left, i sent him a picture from his vacation and got a reply "we miss the fun and action we had there." i wrote to him for india’s independence day and i got a reply in two minutes "great to hear from you." when i called for raksha bandhan, my cousin answered the phone. when i told him who was calling, he said "HI". I plan to write for Diwali. This morning my mom told me to call her sister because she called us yesterday. my mom doesnt let me call her brother. i got complaints from my cousin that i stopped writing and calling. if i start writing, what are the chances of me getting a complaint i stopped calling? i realize my cousin and his family came from the other side of the world to visit me. now, i’m kind of missing them and remembering them. both my cousin and his wife involved me in everything and made sure i wasnt left out. can i get some honest opinions? please be truthful
my cousin deserves to be remembered for travelling a long distance, going through a lot of trouble to come visit me, taking a lot of time off from his job, and flying back to india from California.

We have Santa’s that can’t say "ho ho ho".
We have people wondering how to greet each other and people getting mad if they don’t get the greeting they want.
We have people not sure if its ok to send a religious Christmas card to a non-beleiver.
I mean really people…is it that difficult to wish each other well? Is there a real need to take offense at anything??

In this month there is Ramadan, Diwali, Kwanzaa, Haunakha, Winter Solstice (Yule) and Christmas (treated as secular and religious). All of these religions promote peace and love to be spread amongst each other, regardless if we follow the same religious path. WHY then are we so focused on being angry and trying to "take control" of a day or month?

So my real question is….what are YOU going to do this holiday season to spread peace and love?

My answer: I am buying some clothes for a child that I got off the Christmas Tree at the Unitarian Universalist Church so that child can have clothes and a gift under the tree. I am also going to be working at a homeless shelter so those people can have a warm and loving holiday.

Oh and may you all have a wonderful holiday season!

I plan to assemble a PC (in Baroda,India) half for kicks and half as its cheaper (correct me if I’m wrong).I need a PC that can run games near-decently <no HDR but atleast a decent 50 fps>. Also, considering my last PC , I want it to be future safe.A 19" Widescreen TFT with good performance is a must, as is a Core 2 Duo (as I’ve been out of touch since some time, so don’t know if that’s wise).Already have a cabinet, mice, keyboard speakers and an optical drive ,so don’t require any of these, but need a new SMPS as mine is a generic 250W.

In short I need a (wide)screen, CPU, compatible mobo, RAM (should this be faster and lesser, or the other way round ?), a HDD (250 GB should suffice) and a graphics card that actually makes some difference..price can be stretched a BIT.Also, Would dual channel configuration for the RAM be better,and if so how much of difference would it make, both in terms of performance and price ?

Would Diwali actually make a difference in the deal?
Cheers
Well, obviously as I’m assembling it locally, the power supply WILL be compatible with the voltage.What i’ve mentioned is that I have an SMPS (or the power supply) thats rated 250 WATTS (NOT volts) which i doubt would support my new components in terms of power requirements.

Okay last question.lol
Okay um i just don’t get Hinduism.Is it like Buddhism?If not how are they different?What are these following things:
Brahman
Diwali
Shiva
Vedas..
(im looking at my friend’s note card)
Vishnu
Thanx Yahoo

i have just become friends with a hindu so i feel it would be a little rude to just presume they do or dont at this stage of the friendship and was wondering if i should send a card or not

what do i get some one for dawali this friday

iam christian so a bit clueless about the whole thing…… r you even suppose to buy presents !!!

help my hindu friends any info would greatly be appreciated…any at all like what is the norms of presents behaviour etc for hindus at this time of year

by the way happy dawali to you too

is a statue of the gods appropriate or not, sweets, candles, cards…….dont have a clue help

thinking of a statue of the gods and indian sweets and a card with a candle on it -yes / no

ANY IDEAS

What is the background, who started them, is this just another reason made up to sell greeting cards, like sweetest day?

I joined newly in Yahoo for calling PC to Phone. I paind through VISA card. I speak on diwali day using free call facility by you.Even while calling I checked my Phoneout balance was . But from next day my balance in Phone out was showing {content}.I am not called any number after that. Also not showing my call history. Please answer this. Then only I can continue using this and recommand to my friends in Bahrain.

Ok, so i am gonna celebrate diwali this year with my family, but i am Christan so i can’t go to a temple, or anything like that. I know it sounds weird, i just love the indian culture, and i want to live there ( no matter how poor the place i want to live is) when i am married. What are the symbols of diwali? how many diya’s should i light? what are the best diya’s and where could i find them? I do not live anywhere near little india, though. I speak hindi, and love bollywood, my best friend is lucky enough to live in india, and be hindu. Are there any special decorations? Any thing not to do? I know that the tradition is to wear new clothes, but I do not own a one piece sari, should i wear my two piece? Or should i make a one piece? What is the main reason to celebrate diwali for you? What do you do? What gifts should i give, and to who? SHould i make cards? My whole family is christian, (methodist, catholic) But i really want to celebrate diwali. To me it means a new start, and when ever i hear about it, i smile. I have been studying it since first grade, when i met my best friend, sanjana. It is October 23 this year, right? Should i have a party? American girl who wants to be indian. Why shouldn’t I? I love america, my cousin is in iraq right now, don’t get me wrong, but I just think that their culture is beautiful, and I want to celebrate it. I do not mean to offend anyone. And any ignorant people who say i should not do this because i am christian, and if you call me or anyone from india a terrorist, i will delete your guys’s questions. No offence, but they offend ME. Please keep it clean, kids like me go on this site, to.
In answer to your question, I learned hindi not from the bollywood films and songs, but from my best friend. She is the one that got me interested in different cultures in first grade, since she was so different. I went to a class, and am going to the class still but i only know a few words, since i just started a few months ago. Thanks again from all of you for the fabulous answers!
I don’t think i can choose between the first two answers! Sorry to the others, but they were the most detailed, and gave all the information you gave. I have a suspision that one of you read and just listed facts that they had. Thank you!
