Mentally Challenged!!

"If I were" is one of the most greatest excuses used by most. But this always goes only in positive sense. What is this goes with a negative sense? At a wildest of dreams, if you were not to utter a word from this moment to the end of your life!!! Considering languages spoken by more than thousands of people, there are nearly 6500 languages in this world. A normal human speaks nearly 2500 words per day (Obviously women more than men, any debates??) Mandrian, English, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic and Russian are the most used languages, Mandrian being used by the most. Each of these languages being used by a certain community/region of people. But there is a language which go beyond regions, beyond communities, beyond borders, beyond galaxies, the SIGN Langauge. WHAT IF we were to use only the SIGN language?? This language is not taught to us by anyone. This language comes with the so called "Human" package. Everyone understands this language and no-one needs coaching on this langauge.

I had a chance to watch a movie named "Mozhi" (In tamil means Language), may be inspired from he movie "BLACK". Keeping the story aside, all I was thinking about is how would a person live in this world having no power to speak nor hear. We call them "Physically Challenged", I call them "Mentally Challenged". It is all about how they accept their physical inability and how they grow in such a mocking world. They need to be mentally very strong. The most difficult part of their life is how do they express their feeling. Woman, well-known for their emotions. Can you expect a person who does not miss anyone, infact do not want to miss anyone? All she could depend on is her calm world around which never hears anything nor demands uttering a word. It is like a meditation. A real "Mental Challenge".

If we had to understand what it is, live a day without anyone without speaking or hearing. It is real tough one!! You would never be able to express how you miss the innumberable number of things in this world!!

If not watched, please watch the movie at least once. I bet the movie is beyond language barriers.

It is not that I blog about movie. It is that it is worth thinking about!! That was really an interesting movie. I had to ensure that I never talk about the movie and talk only about the substance of it...
