तारे ज़मीन पर

nice name, lovely movie, what amazing acting from such a lil kid!!! maybe not the first and definitely not the last movie on this subject, but made direct dil se! real feel-good factor - so important in a hindi movie. makes you fill up with emotion. and actually gave me a new thought, for the first time, about different children - they're born to perfectly normal people! the function in which tulip school kids act in a play - did you see the parents in the audience? that could be the audience in ANY school! tomorrow, that could be you or me with a kid like that! it's not anything we can control! there, but for the grace of God, go i! it filled me with a new emotion for those children, like they were my children, and i was following their every movement with pride and joy like the parents in that function! how traumatic it must be to be completely normal yourself, with every expectation of normalcy from your kid, and to have to deal with something that is so unexpected, so un-understandable! and yet it's your kid, and you love him and want him to succeed and be happy! we just can't tell what cards we'll be dealt... itni lambi zindagi hai... in the end, life takes all!
