Tare Zameen Par

At last Tare Zameen Par is nominated for Oscars. This movie must win the award. Because this is a film I had seen after such a long time that touches our heart; and it is India's badluck that we have only one Ammir Khan. I had worked for some time in schools. I had seen dyslexia in such a manner in students that is innumerable.
Infact I was also a victim of this in my childhood. I couldn't read english words, due to this I was failed in second std.One incident I want to mention on which my family members still laugh and I also laugh. The incident is that, in the final examinaation of 2nd std it was English paper. At that time we don't have any printed question paper. All the questions were written on the black board.I seen all them but I was only able to recognise the alphabets and nothing else.We sat on tat-patti on those days and the windows of our class room were a hollow one. We can easily see all the outer world the mountains, trees, birds, butterfly,dragonfly everything. Half of the exam time I was in my dreamland and in the later half I made drawings of flagstaff, a cow, a tree, mountain and rising sun, national flag, some grass, one bird and some more things I don't remember now. After the results were declared principal invited my father and showed him my answer booklet; and said "look sir what your artist son has done in English paper" and as he was a friend of my father he asked whether to promot or not to promot the boy for next std. My father decided I should repeat.
I was even not as smart as other children.I had only one girlfriend. And we had good understanding. Even she was more smart than me.And I had one more friend Anup. I and Anup always sat side by side and talk all the time. At last when the annoyed teacher had no other option she send Anup to the top left corner of the class and me to the last line right corner. It was a heart breaking situation. But after some time I created my own world with the help of that hollow window. From that window I had seen the rainbow very first time. I always thought what would be behind those white clouds; and many such fancies.
When the new session began I with all my friends came and sat in 3rd std. After the attendence the class teacher asked who were left. I was the only boy. Teacher holded me by my hand and took me to the a new room that was now meant for 2nd std and our old class was now 3rd std. I was shocked. After this day what happened with me the whole next year in school that was totally flashed off from my mind. This badly affected my self confidence.But now i am 27 and quite normal. Almost every child shows some of the characterstics of the disease in different measure. INDIA is suffering from this problem from unknown times especially the countryside and the situation is still grim. And we have only one provocator Ammir khan.
This movie is at the same time a commercial hit and a classic one.
O Oscar judges !! for the sake of thousands and lakhs children of India and the World give this Indian movie the award. Then only the pestige of the Oscars will be maintained.
