Just saw BLACK.. well can't say black, saw teh second cd in a rush with FFs... but still... it was good...... i did read helen keller's "story of my life" a bit, but this one was some wht different....shud mention, teh small girl was better than rani :d
was amazed by teh will power and determination of teh girl, was puzzled if such people really exist, was confused about myself....... wht am i achieving with my eyes, ear and voice!!!
teh movie did bring in teh same feelings which i experienced whn i first visited a blind school with ashmita[(hmmmm......those sweet days!! the fun-filled class,writting 15 pages (i am talking abt teh looooong answer sheet like pages!!) long letters to anna, teh pride of owning a keyboard (its been about 5 yrs since i've played it:(), the weird feeling of sophistication of dining in teh air force officers's mess (atta hated me for taht :d), tht scenic NEEP,teh thunder&lightening full rain, the music competetions with my neighbour (wonder wht hez doing now!!), the non stop bathroom singing,(well this is still there:-P), those desperate rounds to children lib in colony trying to get myself interested in reading detective novels and ending up picking books on fashion n cooking :d!!, those lunches @ BBC (still can't figure out how i ate tht american choupsey!!)........ ok ok jana tha japan pahoonch gaye chin :d
the blind school......... it was some experience, ashmita's family frnd was teh school's principal, he also is blind. Must say he sounded sooooooooooooo nice, i was really amazed how he cud manage teh biggest blind school in asssam so succefully, he taught us braille, (well we tried to remmeber but....... donno if ashmita remmebers anything), took us around teh huge campus, i was really amazed how teh blind studnets were stolling around in teh campus liek tehy knew each centimeter of it, i still remmeber teh guy who was walking around playing flute beautifully..... i was so overwhelmed i couldn't stop asking each student's name... we returned taht day with a strange feeling withing us.. hehehe i was also amazed by teh principal's daughter's red with white polka dots skirt:-P, ashmita told me she wore only mini skirts :D. even to school!!!( womder wht shez doing now ;))
Whn i was @ gayatri in vizag, teh bus i took to bac home frm college used to stop at a def and dumb school. one shud see to believe how they converse. I had decided either i wud change teh bus or wud learn sign language....... it really drove me crazy.. there were boys and girls, playing pranks on each other, flirting, fighting, laughing, teasing... doing everything "normal" with their sign language. I used to try so hard to understand wht teh joke was taht i always ended up carcking my head.... cudn't make out even one sentece in those 3 months!!!
now taht i hav mentioned asmita (tuk-tuk for clooooooose pals n family), lemme introduce her. Ashmita Paul was one of teh most intelligent 16 yr old i had ever met. there was something abt her tht reminded me of ashwarya rai teh moment i saw her. my entire class was fida on her whn she joined our school. ashmitaz doing her final yr MBBS at silchar medical college, assam and does not forget to sen dme a sms everyday....... but forgets my bday!!!!!!!hehehhe don worry ashmi. will deffo send u teh cowboy hat whn i get there... :D

i read a few posts of you but was already fida with ur narrating capabilities.
readin this perticular post, i remembered my college days, when i used to find many def n dumb children in bustop at govt.hospital vijayawada. i was desperately trying to get something out of their conversation. i know they used to crack jokes on me. and among them i found a girl and a boy. they were so close and alag from the rest of batch. i thought luv was budding b/w 'em. and suddenly one day the guy came to me and was talkin to me, yah he was talking to me. he wasnt deaf or dumb. he was enquiring abt some place. but my mind got blank.
and abt the girl in black. wow she was amazing. she wasnt blind. is she? i thot she'll become a gud actress.
