Lesson to learn from movie - Nil Battey Sannata

Living in this 21^st century we can undoubtedly come to a conclusion that nothing in this world is stagnant or you can say the world never comes to a standstill. Everybody and everything is running behind something or the other. The time runs to complete the day, the earth revolves to complete a year and we run to fulfill our dreams! Isn’t it? The missile man of India late Mr. A.P.J Abdul kalam had mentioned the right definition of dreams.

“Dreams are not those come in your sleep

Dreams are those that don’t let you sleep”.

This shows what kind of passion, devotion and of course dedication that is required to fulfill your dreams. But nowadays people synonymously use the word “dream” with “money”. To dream high is the only right of a rich brat and not those who barely have a hope to fill their hunger. Many people you might have come across force their children to change their dream just because they are not capable enough financially to fulfill his or her child’s dream. Now give me a chance to vanish all your misconceptions, miseries and doubts regarding dreams and I am sure enough that after you end up reading my article, which is on the base of movie “Neel Batte Sannata”. You will have a completely new and a positive approach towards your dreams.

There was woman named Chanda who was a maid in a metropolitan city. He worked from her fingers to bones day and night only to meet the two ends. She worked in houses where she cleaned utensils, washed cloths, swiped the floor and everything which she could do in the allotted time to gain a good amount at the end of the month. She had a daughter named Apeksha who barely had any sort of interest in schooling and studying. She believed that to dream high, to become a doctor, engineer or an IAS or IPS you need money in your pockets.

She had passed her 9^th grade with passing marks and now she was promoted to 10^th grade. She was a student who looked at mathematics carrying a big question mark on her head. Maid chanda who was her mother did not want to see her as a maid. She wanted that her child should walk one step ahead of the world. Chanda had tried explaining all sorts of solutions to her daughter to improvise her performance. But to no avail, she continued to stay back with her notorious circle of friends to enjoy the back bench!  With all her efforts failing to help out her daughter she went to very optimistic women where she worked as a maid. This woman was a doctor who was not only a huge degree holder but also a person with huge heart. She advised chanda to join a mathematics class to her daughter. The very next day she went to ask about the class but the professor gave her a challenging offer. To have a discount in the fee her daughter has to score more than 50% in mathematics. She had a word with her daughter and her daughter threw all possible tantrums and found excuses to escape from this situation. She refused to join this class. She again told the entire scenario to the doctor woman. The wise woman advised her to join the school as a student so that you can understand things and explain it to your daughter. Now this was a completely astonishing and of course unrealistic.

But to make her daughter realize the importance of study she made the impossible to happen. Hearing this eye popping news, her daughter tapped her hands and feet just to force and compel her mother to not take the admission in her school. This would be a shameful situation she exclaimed. Despite of the daughter’s denial she asked the principal as well as the managing directors to admit her in this school. And her first step proved to be successful when they said “yes” to her admission. Neither Chanda and nor Apeksha let students know that she was her mother. But Chanda being fearless of all the laughter and jokes that students cracked on her. She eagerly and unknowingly took her seat on the first bench with a student who was well versed with maths. He was the topper of the class. He too belonged from a mediocre family. Once when Chanda saw that he had no Tiffin in the lunch time, she offered him her tiffin. He replied that he won’t eat it without giving the return instead he will teach her maths in which he was expert. With every passing day as chanda tried to learn more maths, she started gaining interest in this subject. She slowly moved towards success. Moreover when the results were out she had scored pretty good marks in her paper. Everybody including the teachers, classmates all was happy looking at her performance except her very own daughter. She started hating her mother as she was gaining more attention from all.

She came back home and fought and screamed on her mother only to see her shed drops of tears. Apeksha challenged her mother that she would bring more than 50% in her exam, then she must left the school. Chanda ‘s eyes twinkled with new hope seeing that her daughter has finally set a goal in her life. Chanda accepts the challenge and stays back home. Apeksha manages to bring above 50% in her exams and speaks up to her mother that she had scored not for herself but for her mother’s sake so that she won’t have to go through the shameful situation of seeing her mother attending school. Listening to this chanda’s dreams and hopes shattered into pieces. Now she had left all hopes from her child and continued to work as a maid. She had also joined one dhaba to earn more amount.

Once when her topper friend asked to Apeksha that where was chanda, Apeksha replied that she is not aware of her. The boy looked in her eyes and said it in one shot, “I know she is your mother”. Apeksha feeling embarrassed decided to leave. The boy asked her to meet him in the evening. When they met he pointed out his finger to her mother who was working in the dhaba because her dream was her daughter’s bright future. Apeksha who was not even ready to talk with her mother had tears in her eyes.

Apeksha transformed the tears of her eyes to the hope of her heart. From that moment onwards she focused all her energies on her studies. Every day she tried to bring the best version of her. A girl who had no interest in this world of studying now seems to be a lover of books and of course most appreciated girl of the class. She successfully cleared her 10th grade and cracked UPSC exam with flying colors. Now she is an honored and respected collector of the district.

Things happen to change in a strange way but at the end everything falls into right place. After watching this movie, I came to on conclusion that though it was reel life but in real life also there are many examples like this. The reason to choose this movie as an article is that who says that the poor has no right to dream? Who says that dream and money cannot be separated from each other? My dear friends, an athlete cannot run with money in his pocket, he has to run with hope in his heart and dream in his mind. Everything is possible when you believe in things.Dream is not achieved when you have money but when you believe in your dream. Because when you can believe it, you can achieve it. So keep believing and start achieving your dreams.
