Everyone must know him.

- Abhishek Bachchan.

He too used to have difficulties

in studies during childhood.

Now see, he is a blast.

There are more examples.

Pablo Picasso, famous painter.

He used to say, "It looks

like my uncle's nose in reverse."

Who's the father of Mickey Mouse?

- Walt Disney.

Correct.

Walt Disney.

He was too confused about words,

so he put his art into cartoons.

He used to write songs out of the

shame about his red report card.

Agatha Christy, famous mystery book writer.

Can you believe a writer, who was

unable to read in her childhood.

But, why am I telling you all

this suddenly today?

To show you that, there were gems

in the world who changed it.

They were able to see

the world from their eyes.

Their minds were a bit different.

People came in their ways.

But still they won.

And they won like that the whole

world saw it in an awe.

Out today's art class will be

dedicated to all those geniuses.

We will step out remembering them.

And we'll make something different.

Anything.

Pick anything you like,

rock, wood, junk, anything.

Come on, move towards the door.

Ishaan, one minute.

Rajan, you can go.

Do you know there was another name

among all those I mentioned?

Because that name is not that great.

But he too had the same problem.

That name is Ram Shankar Nikum.

I too had difficulties in

reading and writing.

My father never understood me.

He thought I was being naughty,

and wasn't paying attention.

He thought I would not succeed

in my future.

What a duffer and idiot could become?

Whatever I am today,

I'm in front of you Ishaan.

Shall we go?

Did you go to my home?

Hey, it's moving.

Can it fly?

Will it?

Who made it?

Is Principal present?

Yes sir.

- Ok, stay seated.

I wanted to talk about a student.

Ishaan Awasti, 3rd "D"

He's a new student.

Some other teachers are

also complaining about him.

I don't think he could

even complete a year.

No sir, he's a smart boy.

He has just come problem

in reading and writing.

You know about "Dyslexia".

You've made our job easy.

I was confused what to tell his father.

He came through our trustees.

Good, good.

Then Special School is perfect for him.

Isn't it?

No sir,

He's a child with above

average intelligence.

He has full right to study

in a normal school.

He just needs a little help from us.

All children around the world having

any problem study in normal school.

And these children have right

to study in any normal school.

Under the law of rights of

education, every child gets this right.

It's another thing that there are less

schools who don't follow this law.

Nikum, tell me one thing.

How will this boy manage here?

He will.

Only if teachers help him a bit.

Where's the time that teachers have?

To attend one child

among 40 children?

Impossible.

Sir, it won't take as much time

as you think.

And he has to just pass all these

subjects,

his real destination is something else.

So, all the subjects that we teach

are useless but yours isn't.

No, sir, I didn't mean that.

Please sir, look at his painting.

It's a battlefield, soldier digs a mine

and turned the page and

escaped while digging.

What an idea? Confident brush

strokes, such bold use of colors.

Very bold.

Look at this sir, a flip book,

story about getting away from home.

What an idea?

From just an 8 years old boy.

Sir, there are a few who

could think out of the way.

Sir, just one chance.

He needs this chance.

Or he'll loose his faith.

What do you want from me?

For some time, his spellings and

writing should be ignored.

We should take his tests orally.

Education is real be it

oral or written.

By the time, I'll also work

on his reading and writing.

That will be improved gradually.

I don't know, if I'm doing a permanent

damage by following a temporary teacher.

Now add 3

Very good, now add 5

What did you get?

Very good, now subtract 11

There's a question. Have you ever

painted after you finished your school.

What?

Painting competition.

For students, teachers, everyone.

Seriously, what's the meaning or art.

It's meant to release your

emotions.

If you're happy, your hand will

reach all bright colors.

Lunch was bad, you'll end up

filling with all dark and dull colors.

I'll be back in two minutes, friends.

Sorry, there's a little space.

How come you're here?

I was passing by.

Have you met Ishaan?

- No, not yet, I will meet him.

First I needed to talk to you.

My wife has been surfing internet

for a few days.

She has read all the information

about "Dyslexia"

We just wanted to you tell you that.

Why did you want to tell me?

So you don't mistake us as parents

who don't care about their children.

To care.

It necessary Mr. Awasti.

It has the power to cure.

It's a medicine that relieves pain.

It's a security that child thinks

someone cares about him.

One hug, or one lovely kiss.

To show that you care.

To tell him, "Son I love you".

"If you have any worries,

you can come to me".

"It's ok if you made a mistake,

I'm there for you."

To care.

Isn't it what's called "to care"?

I'm happy to hear that you

think you care.

I'll leave now.

Mr. Awasti,

Has your wife read about

Solomon Islands on internet?

I don't know.

for farming, they don't cut the trees.

Instead, they stand around the tree

and start shouting at him,

cursing at him.

In some days,

the tree gets weak.

And dies by itself.

There has been great gems

in the world who changed it.

They were able to see

the world from their eyes.

Their minds were a bit different.

People didn't like that and

they came in their ways.

But still they won.

And they won like that the whole

world saw it in an awe.

What a fair they have arranged?

Look, I have arrived.

Where's your Ishaan?

I've been dying to meet him.

I don't know,

I can't see him.

Rajan, where's Ishaan?

I don't know sir,

he left hostel before everyone.

Really?

Hey Nikum, you've pulled

me into this too.

You should try this,

it's fun.

No way, I can't do this

painting thing.

I will put so many alphabets

and fill it will alphabets.

I've come here only for headmaster

to see my presence.

I will be here for 5-10 minutes only.

It's an honor for us that

you've come.

Where I have to sit?

Children will show your sitting place.

Children, come here.

Show to sir his sitting place.

My special guest Madam Lalita

Teacher, painter, my guru.

Hello

- Hello

Have you seen Ishaan?

No sir, he must be with Rajan.

Where's he?

I don't know sir, as I said earlier

he left before everyone.

Where had you been?

Come here, sit.

Do you have colors?

Sir, haven't you left yet?

You were leaving in 5 minutes.

What are you painting?

It's a frog, duck and a banana.

Is it a frog?

How's my painting?

Look at it.

Absolutely beautiful sir.

First prize sir.

Amazing!

What a wonderful morning.

Going through the colored

glasses of windows we reached

our childhood.

Praise to be God's.
