.....some moments..are PRICELESS....

The minute i got out of the theatre after watching "taare zameen par", teary eyed.., i wanted to write.... i wanted to express what was going through my mind.. i was distracted...somehow nothing else seemed important... the "new year resolutions", "the forthcoming exams", the "goals i set for future", the "socialising"... nothing was ...noone else was...

"Ishaan Awasthi" filled my mind... the young intelligent eight year old...who just wanted to "be"...to "live"...to have "fun" just like any other eight year old... he derived pleasure from the simple things in life... playing with his dogs... playing with dirty clothes on .. roaming in the roads and just observing people around him... flying kites... the only thing Ishaan could not appreciate was reading & writing.. the more so called "serious" things in life... he could not appreciate any of it not because he did not want to, he had a genuine problem... but noone around him seemed to understand that...

i learnt a lot from this movie... i realise that anyone who watches this movie will be able to appreciate these special children.. they are just "differently" abled...and deserve as much attention, recognition, love and joy as anyone else gets...

To those who have not been introduced to special children, PLEASE be sensitive... PLEASE learn to care for these children...all they want from us is LOVE...and love is priceless... it takes nothing for us to give some time to these children.. i know i WILL...whenever i can... and i hope it would be the same from your side too...

Kudos to special children...and parents who have been blessed with such children... they require special care.. and only some people have the right temperament and love to give to these children, and thats why they have been blessed with a special child...

do watch this movie.. it is worth every minute we dedicate...

PEACE..!
