Only when I was filling out this blog's questionnaire -specially the question on the movies I liked.I remembered English Vinglish and I realized that it's not only children who feel trapped . Very often women are made to feel like doormats by their families.It hurts when the children,particularly girls, insult their mothers instead of being supportive of her.
I have seen husbands in real life who tell their wives that languages like English can be learnt only by those who have some special talent.What rubbish! A language can be learnt basically by exposure.
Here in this movie though often put down for not knowing English, the heroine Shashi does not give up.She makes use of an opportunity to enroll in a spoken English class.
the self-confidence and the sense of achievement,the ability to project herself even as she is in society. This new 'Avatar' of Sashi coupled by the support and encouragement she receives from others makes the husband realize his mistake.
I THINK WE CAN USE THIS PRINCIPLE IN SCORES OF WAYS.
Just before creating this blog,I had some ideas which I wanted to share with others. (in the form of
short stories) But I didn't know how to get it done.Though I have a computer at home,I didn't know
to use it (believe it?)The youngsters I know told me to try clicking different keys, I'd get it. Nothing
seemed to work. Finally I opted for a week's professional training and hey, even ordinary me could create a blog.
You know how I feel? I too feel exactly like this_
Try it yourself and tell me if you don't .
