Bum bum bole masti mein dole!

TZP - I am a fan!

Amir Khan, I love you for making such a wonderful film.

I don't think I've cried so much in any film. (Sharan, did you cry?) It was mildly embarassing cause by the time I came out my whole face was dry, my nose red, my kajal had disappeared, and my hair was also messy so I was looking like a worse version of the just-out-of-bed look. But I loved it - the movie that is. It's such an important film especially for Indian parents to watch. What we lack is awareness and this movie does just that - increasing awareness - in such a beautiful way.

Again, I love Amir Khan. And I loved his character in the movie even more. Coming out of your own difficult past to help others is really something.

I am inspired. I want to DO something to change the way the education system in this country works. Maybe I'll open a school someday where kids have a whole lot of fun even in the way they are studying and every teacher will be like Amir in the movie. There will be singing and dancing and art... Mmmmmm, I like the thought of that. There's something worth doing...

Khul ke soche aao,

Pankh zara phailaao

Rang naye bikhrao

Chalo chalo chalo chalo

Naye khwaab bun le

(So free your mind

Spread your wings

In a riot of colour

Come on

Let's spin new dreams)

- From the song 'Bum Bum Bole - Taare Zameen Par)

Anyway, I better be off. I'm going to have a small Hebby (+ desi) re-union today! Tashu and Taryn. I can't wait!!
