I have no words for this movie. The after-effects of watching it cannot be explained; it has to be experienced. It's not an emotional flick that would fill you with gloom and sympathy for the special kids. It leaves you with an inspiration, a new motivation, and an attitudinal change (for some). It acts as a parenting guide, a teaching guide, and a microscope giving a closer look at life (all this backed with full fledged logic and rational arguments). The emotional turmoil as well as the joys of life has been captured really well. It takes us back to those school days when life would have been far simpler had there been no scary teachers troubling us, no rules and regulations to be followed and no competition forcing us to excel. It reminds us of the times when we used to kill time just day dreaming, or observing minute details of any trivial thing. It rings a bell telling us that once we used to think differently and the obvious never seemed to be so obvious. We realize how comfo...

I have never been able to predict my behaviour. How can I act so dumb in some situations?! And in contrast to that I am also capable of acting smart enough (though I have more instances to quote in case of the former!). Lets look at what happened today. In the 3-hour exam, I didn't bother to turn the question paper and look at the last numerical question. On top of that, the person sitting in front asked me the formula to be used in that question and it never occurred to me as to why is he wasting his as well as my time on a formula that apparently could not be used anywhere. I kept attempting the silly theoretical questions very confidently, thinking that I was still left with a lot of time and why the hell our prof chose to give only theoretical questions. I came to know of this blunder only after I came out of the examination hall when my friend wanted to confirm the answer to that numerical. I am not concerned about the marks but what hurts is that I fail to understand the obvi...

I got placed today. I got a job to earn my livelihood and to support my family. I am well-equipped to lead an independent life. Well, apart from these long term effects of getting a job, there are some very crucial short-term gains like no more getting ready early in the morning, no more GDs and interviews full of pretense, no more feelings of rejection, dejection and worthlessness and no more dressing up in formals! Actually I still can't believe that I got 3 offers today. A girl who couldn't clear 6 rounds of GDs and 2 rounds of interviews, managed to pass through 3 gds and 3 interviews in the 3-day interview process. I never thought I would be able to clear an interview for a bank job (with questions on all fin-related technical stuff)! But I cleared it for 2 banks. As it has been happened to me in all important stages of life, I don't get what I want very easily, esp. my job. I knew it for sure that as always I would be tasting failure before success. But I wasn't s...
