Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, how many of you still remember this sweet little rhyme. Do you know there are many children who can’t even read it? We are all so privileged to be able to read, write, walk, talk and do many other things. I remember one of my teacher telling a story about an “Early bird”. When many of us didn’t show up that early bird attitude for the questions asked in the class, he didn’t scold us. Instead he educated us about the abilities of human beings and “Creativity”. Every child is born with “Creativity”. But many of the children cannot use it or struggle to cope up with the challenges they face.
Every one does make fun of those kids who can’t perform. They find it funny because, no one knows what it takes for that child to come up to our level. There used to be days in my college when I never understood what my lecturers used to say. The way they used to pronounce the words were all found to be French or German or Latin to me. When one of my English lecturer looked into my notes and found that I had written something like “Don’t Chew” and I had no idea why I wrote something like that. Entire class started laughing at it. Its just because I didn’t get to understand things at that time. I could come out of this mess and pass my term with 1st class marks. I had little start-up trouble which was cured by the attitude which I had toward the learning, studies and the challenge to make it to the first place again after my 10th. It was a new place for me to do something different. A new college. There are few other children who cannot understand what they should be doing next to avoid the punishment. They always suffer and find no one for their support.
Ishaan is one of those kids, who has got brilliant ideas in mind and he is gifted with a great talent of painting. He does amazing things every day in his life. But he is found to be totally dull at his studies as he couldn’t understand the meaning of alphabets. He always says that the alphabets dance when is tries to read them. There is no to support him, no one to understand what’s going on with him. He is being sent to a boarding school. He is just 8 or 9 years old and they are just trying to get rid of his stubborn attitude or get rid of him self instead of supporting him. Why no one tries to understand this small kids problem.
What will happens now? Will he ever find the right teacher to guide him or will he be thrown out of the school again?
Yes, Miracle did happen in life of Ishaan. Just like Einstein, Thomas Alva Edison and many others who used to face the similar issues when they were kids.
Its a cute little movie directed by Mr. Aamir Khan for the first time. Songs are sweet. And the characters just flow through all our lives. There is a life in the movie itself. You feel yourself as a part of it. You might start weeping at some time. So don’t forget to take some napkins. Yes, you got it right. I’m talking about
