Taare Zameen Par~ Every Child is SPECIAL~

Taare Zameen Par~

Every Child is Special..

This is one impressing and unique production of Aamir Khan's.. I'm not into TV these days but this simple story caught my attention and even touched my heart~

The story line is simple.. It was a story about a little boy, Ishaan who often drifts into his own world of imagination.. He views every single thing around him differently from other kids his age.. The adults, by contrast, failed to appreciate his specialty.

To the adults, Ishaan was a slow-learner.. He can't read, he can't write, he failed to recognize numbers and even can't button his own shirt.. He was then an outcast to his own family.. With a brother who performed excellently in academics and sports, to his father he was going no where but to failure..

He was sent to a boarding school to be 'disciplined'.. However, the teachers there had the same view of Ishaan and was about to give up and drop him out of school. Ishaan felt dejected and changed from a cheerful kid to a quiet and passive one..




Suddenly a new substitute teacher Nikumbh came to light.. He was an art teacher with his own unusual method of teaching.. Instead of going through pages of endless theories and countless memorization, Nikumbh taught his students to dream and use their imagination.. Nikumbh was surprised to see how poorly Ishaan respond to him when all the other students were enthusiastic.. Nikumbh finally discovered the awful truth of what Ishaan was going through.. The traumatic separation from his beloved family and also the demotivating negative perception of the adults around him.. This determined teacher set out to help Ishaan to find his own potential...




Finally.. Ishaan manage to read and write.. He finally could organize himself.. And actually he has a gift for arts.. His drawing was surprisingly beautiful.. He even won a drawing competition and the drawing became the front page of the school's magazine...

My favourite scene would be when Nikumbh point out to his students the names of great achievers with problems during their childhood...





-Thomas Edison->> had problems during his early school years and even called by the name "addled" by his teacher.. He also had hearing problems due to middle ear infection

-Albert Einstein->> had speech problems during childhood..

-Sir Winston Churchill->> had problems with school too

These are the names that I can recall hehe there were many actually~hehe






Hurm.. The story reminds me of my own brother who's shadowed by his sister's achievements.. Everybody is pushing him day by day to study more and more to gain as many A's as his sister did or even better.. But we are two different individuals of different potentials~ I wish our parents can see that.. Because currently, as usual, how many A's on your report cards matters MOST..

Trying to be Nikumbh here myself.. I just hope I can be patient enough to give him my support and be the most understanding sister ever... I can be very scary when I get into my nerves..


Control temper~ control temper~ yeah improving a little bit hehe

Ular hijau..


Ular hitam putih..

So out of fear.. I decided to discuss the matter with one friend...



Haziah: Eyh.. Ko tau tak kalo mimpi ular tu ape maksudnye???
Friend: Mimpi ular pulak dah...
Haziah: Aku nk google jap~
Friend: Pegi pegi
Haziah: Ko tengok ni!!!!!



-Jika bermimpi digigit ular, maka pertanda akan mendapatkan pasangan hidup.

-Jika bermimpi melihat ular yang banyak, maka pertanda akan mendapatkan kebahagiaan yang tak terduga.


-Jika bermimpi dikejar ular, maka pertanda ada seseorang yang mencintai Anda.


-Jika bermimpi melihat ular masuk rumah, maka pertanda akan kedatangan tamu yang membawa kebahagiaan.


-Jika bermimpi dililit ular, maka pertanda akan melaksanakan hajat




Friend: Mane ko dapat nih
Haziah: Google ar~naseb baek positif je
Friend: Tak reliable langsung. Aku try cari pakai metacrawler..


So here are the rest of my friend's findings hehehe

Ular dilambangkan sebagai setan oleh itu petanda buruk

Ular kalo bisa diingati gimana ularnya.. Lagi ngelilit, dipatuk, atau dikejar..
Kalo lagi dipatuk maksudnya ada yang mau meminang..

The Symbol of Care~

Em~ it seems like as I approach the end of my university life, my student life, my campus life~ many of the people around me are being tested

Friendship~

Relationship~

Exam results~


More often than not.. the tests left them (or is it us~) in despair~ in lament~


But everything happen for a reason...


I'm going to put the emphasize on relationship and friendship... And I'm going to tell this based on a story that I know and heard~


Well A and B have been together for so long... One day, out of the blue B cheated on A without A even knowing.. B changed from a loving and caring person to someone else, far different from the person A have known before.. A was patient with all the changes because A was not going to make a faulty decision without having any prove although A was well aware that A could be the 'stupid' one in this chapter..


So A went to seek help from fellow friends.. C and D.. C and D knew B cheated on A.. But they never say a word.. Not to B and Not to A.... Not an advice for B and not a single information about what B was doing behing A's back... Finally A found out about the cheat from someone else.. And it was too late for A to do anything... By the time A have known about the awful truth.. B have done a lot of bad things to A... So A chose to walk away for A only have prayers for B~


"A group of followers of the Prophet (s) asked him, ‘Is our Lord nearby so that we should talk to Him secretly, or is He far away, so that we should call out to him?’, and the following was revealed: And when My servants question you concerning Me — I am near, to them in My knowledge, and he informed them of this; I answer the call of the caller, by granting him his request, when he calls to Me; so let them respond to Me, My call to them to be obedient, and let them believe, [let them] persevere in faith, in Me that they might go aright, [that] they [might] become guided." Al-Baqarah:186

You see in this story... B became someone else... and B's friends didn't do anything about it... They just let B be because they didn't want to intervene in other people's matters.. But C and D didn't realize what B have done to A~ C and D are not to be blamed.. They didn't know how much they can contribute...




You see, sometimes our friends can go astray.. And if they are so... if you really love them.. Please don't let them be~

You might not just get your friend screwing up his or her own life.. But he or she might also be deteriorating other's life.. A simple word of advice will not harm your friendship if the connection built between two hearts is a pure and a sincere one...










And to those who are screwing up or is not realizing yourself screwing up~ when suddenly your friends become so cold, ask them what's wrong.. Or if you don't have the guts to do so, just reflect on your own what is it that changed them a lot~


The people who'd cared about you for so long will not suddenly change their way of treating you without a solid reason... It's up to you to mend it or to let it crush and crumble~ precious things are worth fighting for eventhough it would take some time...


The symbol of care~ when you see someone you care screwing up, help them to realize it and help them to stop it.. But if you can't, pray~ because that is the greatest tool ever.... Don't let them drift away~ please don't..




Daripada Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri radhiyallahu ‘anhu beliau berkata:

aku mendengar Rasulullah sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam pernah bersabda: Sesiapa dari kalangan kamu yang melihat kemungkaran, maka hendaklah dia mengubahnya dengan tangannya. Andai tiada kemampuan untuk berbuat demikian, maka hendalah dia mengubahnya dengan lisannya. Dan jika beliau tidak mampu untuk berbuat begitu, maka hendaklah (dikecam) dengan hatinya. Dan demikian itu adalah selemah-lemah iman [Hadith riwayat Muslim]
