Sitare Zameen Par - My Take

 

30/06/25

I went to a movie after a long time. Watching a movie in a theatre is so tiring. The auditory and visual inputs in the theatre are overwhelming for me. The sound system is too loud to bear, and the screen bothers a lot. Apart from that, the darkness in the hall is scary.

I prefer to watch a movie at home as at home there is no sensory overload.

However, despite the challenges, I thought I should go and watch this movie. This movie was special because it is the first movie I saw that has neurodivergents in the lead roles.

When I reached the mall, I was a little anxious because of the environment. However, it was manageable. But, as soon as I entered the theatre hall, sensory feelings started, and I got overwhelmed.

Well, I managed to sit and watch the movie because I was deeply moved by the punch line sabka apna apna normal and excited to see its interpretation.

Although I was able to process the language (dialogues), story, and characters in the movie, it was difficult to sit there for so long, and I wanted to get out.

Somehow, amidst the sensory overload, I watched the movie and was able to focus on it. The movie is a good initiative in bringing awareness about neurodiversity. I liked the basketball, a sports theme of the movie. Although I do not play but I like watching sports. I also liked how the coach understands their condition and supports them. I remember Golu Khan from the movie because she was so daring.

I found the interpretation of the punch line a little weird, and it could be better.  

It is a lovely movie with the fact that neurodivergents have worked in it.

  Monochrome One day I realised what my child had long  known Between my brows a line had grown Running up into my forehead when I was  tense ... and two little fingers stretched to 'undo' it - I wonder how he had sensed He of all people, I thought would not understand. For I imagined him with an aura of question marks around his head They said he was that way blind - as he would could not read people's mind Left all confused and anxious as he would not know - what a person meant when they frowned or raised a brow. His mind, a black and white world....I thought it lacked some colours bold Felt sorry - and that is where it went wrong - I've realised since.... Range needs to be narrow, for depth to be intense. So many unique gift he has, I find it was I who had been, all along, colour blind By Anagha Jawalekar Range needs to be narrow and depth to be intense....so apt...                              ...

Experimenting with Online Classes

  The Online World That day you shared something, and made me reflect... It was time you had your friends too. Clever of you to pass me the hint!  Hence with guidance, I introduced you to the world of online learning,  and I feel it's been rewarding Coz since then, I have watched you converse, sit for long and listen,  I often see you extending your comfort zone and be available at different times than you'd prefer I can sense that you are able to open up your mind there. I hope you make bonds that last long, that recharge you time and again, connections...that enrich your life. By, Anagha Jawalekar It was Akshat's 18th birthday last month. It is unsinkable that he is an adult now, and I have grey hair and wear glasses now. Time flies so fast. It seems like yesterday when we went to Mumbai and Delhi for the training and did all other therapies. He had a different childhood altogether. Nevertheless, we have come a long way. It gives me a sense of achievement when he e...

Coping Mechanism - By Akshat Rassay

Music through my ears So many harsh things floating in the air they are invisible like music but music is fair They give me stress, at times I fear it varies from mild to somewhat severe but music is there. Music is there to  rescue me from the clutches of anxiety from a bad mood to uplift me, calm me It gives me cheer It gives me hope like chatting with mum like writing things down Music helps me cope. By, Anagha Jawalekar One fine day, when I and Akshat were conversing, he mentioned that music helps him to cope. Although, I know about it very well, I thought why not discuss about it in detail. And I started discussing with him on 'coping mechanism'. The whole discussion was in the form of questions and answers but when we ended it, I found that it could make a good writeup on the topic, so I just put together all the Akshat's answers and here is his first writeup on 'coping mechanism'. We started it in November, left in between and then finished it just a few days...
