In short, Slumdog Millionaire is the rags to riches story of a slum boy from Mumbai (India). The story of 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 shows questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the shows 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

The size of a standby generator needed for maintaining essential power in a home depends on the size of the house and what is considered as essential power. Generators are designed to provide specific amounts of power and have upper limits to their functionality. To properly determine the size and power output of the generator, a critical needs assessment must be made. More powerful generators are more expensive than smaller, less powerful units. Most utility companies do not allow independent sources of power to 'piggyback' on their installed components.
