From the desk of your team....
Dear Friends,
It was wonderful to see so many of our community members in this week's PTA meeting. Thank you for your time. We really appreciate the fact that a lot of you have agreed to spare a few hours to help us out.
"Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time."
With that quote of Rabindranath Tagore, Andrew ended his talk on how AISC is a school of learning for various cultures. There are plenty of opportunities coming up for us to collaborate and learn what is important for our children to be world citizens. Do write to us and let us know how we can do it together. Do look up the discounts available to our community on this blog. And if you would like the whole community to know about anything that might interest them, you can put it up on the blog. There are activities available for varied interests. Community Events has listed local events that are taking place this weekend. Check them out! Happy Independence Day to India! PTA Executive Team |
Movies Corner We caught the evening show at S2 for Chennai Express. Shah Rukh Khan does a nice job being a single 40 year old looking for his path of life. Shah Rukh is portrayed as the "good child" who has done everything for his family. Deepika is the young South Indian girl who is of marriage age, being forced to fulfill her father's wishes. She has the typical wild teenager streak in her to run away. The movie is shot with the beginnings of the Bollywood cinema screen shots, and ends with the typical South India film's hero's fight scenes. The story line is shallow. The impact of the movie is that it is slapstick humor. Don't put too much emphasis on other details. Remember, if you want to laugh and not think about it, go see this movie. For the fact that the movie had Hindi subtitles, my two boys were able to enjoy the movie as they do not speak the language. I was thrilled for this fact. The boys read the english, and laughed themselves to a stomach ache. I give the movie a 3.5 stars for being a good family movie, filled with slapstick humor. I give it 5 stars for the subtitles -- A big hit with my kids. -----Viraj Thakore |
