A positive Change
Sounds funny, but it fits in, when I tell you that I run a school. J
We started a school in rural India last year and I wanted to meet the parents in small groups and know there feedback on school and the studies so far. I met people in four villages and ironically, the ones who came had very good things to say about us. Typically, we expect people with grievance and complaints to turn up for such meetings.
I witnessed an interesting change in the outlook of parents on education vis-à-vis my last years interactions. I wish the credit had gone to us, but i think credit is due to “Three Idiots” an excellent creation and enactment by our little master (Amir Khan). Though, I wish my village friends had also appreciated “Tare Zameen Par” as much or even more. I place it above “Three Idiots” any day, especially for young children, where parents and teachers play a significant role in their development.
The parents whose main focus in life used to be, for child to be able to speak in English in front of guests, were talking of “education” to necessarily include games, sports and teaching children good manners (read value-system).
I would like to thank “Three Idiots” team for having delivered a positive message penetrating even the rural community. I hope more such brilliantly entertaining and message movies come out from Bollywood.
