Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.

Boston will be Marbury’s fifth N.B.A. team, and speculation from fans, the news media and team officials will begin anew: Will Marbury fit in, or will he destroy a championship team’s chemistry?. Marbury last played a regular-season game on Jan. 11, 2008. On Jan. 22 of that year he had surgery to remove bone chips in his left ankle. He arrived at the Knicks’ training camp in the best shape of his career, but Mike D'Antoni, the new coach, decided the team was going in a different direction. "Something just kept telling me, ‘No, keep working, don’t stop working, be a professional.’ I basically kept faith that I was going to get back on the court, that I was going to have an opportunity to win a championship. That’s the only thing that I had programmed in my mind. I’m not in 35-minute shape, but I can get out there and I can play,” he said.
