Two Movies

Yesterday I saw Taare Zameen Par.I knew the story as heard from friends and from various reviews on the net.I was almost prepared to see the plight of a dyslexic boy.
What awaited me was something different.I am no interested in giving another review over here...
Just my view...

The movie was almost a flashback(almost)....especially the boy's behaviour and subsequent admission to Boarding School...I was watching the movie with my parents..they couldn't stop remarking how similar to Ishaan I was...daily bringing grasshoppers and tadpoles home dirtying the uniform.I used to sit watching the crows and clouds from the class and get punished for almost everything...in all means a true 'duffer'.I was very weak in Maths also..I simply couldn't understand how numbers add to give another and the concept of positive and negative numbers simply was too much...the load all came to my mother who took great pains and improvised many techniques to teach me to learn maths...I could manage only language classes and arts..the famous incidents for all my family members being me drawing and painting animals of unimaginable colours...


I now know that my memory and thinking patterns are image based and caused by me using very different and 'advanced' neuro techniques...all created out of my own need to remain normal...The lines of the music "Bum Bum Bole" are quite nostalgic....the one to think,visualise and find knowledge...I had done so to radically widen my viewpoint and attitude...


My parents also recollect how many times a day they used to say that they will send me to a Boarding School hehe...but then I guess it might be common in most households...
But then I felt very sorry for the boy..because I could see myself there...same behaviour....

Thankful to God,I didn't have dyslexia.I don't mean to emphasize on the problems of a dyslexic kid here,but rather like you (the reader) to read and remember this one thing that the film's title speaks..."Every Child is Special"!!!!!
As a message the line in the song "Bum Bum Bole" says.the world is the way you see it....adios amigos...think deeply about it....let it sit tight into your hearts and spread the light to all....


The movie is simply a emotional super duper hit...coz I know it made ppl cry out loud in public...its a really strong movie!!!

Another movie of similar theme is Mozhi in Tamil of Prithviraj and Jyothika
...music is the power that carries the heavy messge these movies contain...straight to ur souls....

May true knowledge shine upon you and enlighten your soul!!!!

Chalaa 2007 ..aaya naya saal

and so another year passes by.....when did I post here last?aha the 17th.....I remember the month based on the usage graph I get with bandwidth checker..a very low usage month until the last few days....

MEC is getting all geared up for our techfest Excel 2k8....conducted and organized by students of our college of all years and batches.This time a lot of improvement has come in the number and quality of events that are being planned...due to the vast experience the Excel teams have by participating in various techfests ...now the site work going on,sponsorship also....I think some big players are coming in to sponsor us...lets hope so...The work is hectic and very elaborate...lots of my pals involved fully into it...me thankfully have no particular skill that the event needs...



Another major activity is the Linux Week being conducted by MACS our association of CS students...I will upload photos of past events when I get time to do so...we are an active lot...taking up Excel site design every year,preparing projects,taking Linux workshops and preaching Free and Open Software to the student community..I feel proud to be part of the hard working team...

About the Linux Week...the biggest work we have undertaken so far...continuous 6 days of events...that too in between our college arts and excel preparations..and when we s6 students are tied down by heavy loads...nice experience to work under pressure....
The main attractions are gonna be a linux distro exhibition,scripting workshop for MECians and a Basic Linux Workshop for School Students.Preparations are going on..happy that lots of second years are actively involved in its working....we are also learning many things...achcha lagtha hai....

And lastly about my condition or basically our MACS team condition...5 days class,Excel work majority involved,Linux Week all are main stream organizers and planners...sunday TIMEs CAT coaching full day....in between labs,assignments,notes and MINOR PROJECT!!!!its better not to think of all this...I have only the Linux week in my mind now...uske baad retirement...hehe...


Nothing else coming to my mind..will post again...sooner or later...wait for it...
