    My comments on ‘sobdo kalpo bhrom’

    I went to the sobdo kalpo bhrom festival to BITM on the 28th of august . At first when I heard from my class teacher that we are being taken to such a film festival I thought it would be really boring. I am a lazy person . So, I thought that even if I do not like the films I will take a nap in the AC auditorium of BITM. That was my planning. Really……..!!!! I am not joking……..this was my planning.
    When I went there I saw some really serious ladies and few men sitting in the front row .
    We were told that we will be shown a German film first. My first thought hearing this was – ‘……..can I go home because I do not know German at all and how on earth will I understand the film’ ……………then at last after an introduction by an eminent personality the film started. The name of the film was – ‘Starks! Hear me out’ and slowly as the film proceeded I started drowning in the main character of the film. I really forgot about my stupid ideas that I had in my mind. The film was about a boy who has a stammering problem and how he, by his efforts and his parents support overcame his stammering habit. Slowly I do not know how I really understood the true feeling of the boy. I did not read the captions shown in the bottom of the screen…….. but I could undersyant what the boy said.
    Later we were shown 2 films more but I liked the first film more than the other two. There is no specific reason behind my liking this film………..but it really feels great that now I liked a film which is in german language and I do not know German at all.
    When I went home and thought and was thinking about the film…… I recognized that the reason why I liked the film is I have one similarity with that boy. The boy has a stammering problem of which his friends make fun of and I have a problem of that sort too.
    I am not a studious person but whatever I am taught in school I try to learn it to the fullest. Because I know-‘little learning is a dangerous thing’. So after every class I feel like asking a thousand questions to my teacher which I have in my mind and due to all these reasons now my class mates call me ‘big head’. I do not understand that I am asking questions to my teacher if they do not feel bored in answering them why do my friends have problems. I am really oblidged that I have some wonderful teachers at my school who always encourage me and tell me that they feel happy that atleast one student pays attention in class and responds too when the teacher asks questions. And when I turn against my friends and say that it is really not right to make fun of me they feel that I am rude. Anyways my friends behaviours have not as yet and never will have any distraction in my urge to know more . In that film the boy had a problem but mine is not a problem so I do not need to overcome it . That is what I feel ………am I wrong ?
    It was really a wonderfull experience this time and I really !! really!!! really….liked the good intentions of the organizers of this film festival. Atlast I have one thing to say pease organize for more of these kinds of festivals and all……and u can be sure of one thing that you will have atleast one audience and that is me and if you’ll need any help like commenting on these type of matters and spreading awareness ………..and so on I will atleast certainly help you all………promise!!......!!
    And congrats ! on the wonderfull success sobdo kalpo bhrom festival. Class 7 students of my shcool were really excited …….I guess they saw some really inspiring film too….
    Thank you and hope that I will meet you all at the mela held in december
