The Extraordinary Journey of The Fakir (2018)

An extraordinary journey indeed !!

Reflection

"Some are born under the shade,
Some in the shade,
Though dreams catch up,
Time plays its part,
Life twists and twirls,
Offers a ray of hope too,
Some miss it,
Some hold on to it,
And begin again." ----#PoeticWithHope

Entre les murs / The Class (2008)

🎥 A teacher and his class...

Reflection
"Teaching is an art.
For a true teacher,
An impromptu painting,

Flowers wait to bloom,
Strokes intensify,
You can see the stream,
As it passes by,
In search of another dream." #PoeticWithHope

The Farewell (2019)

🎥 'To Tell or Not to tell'

Reflection
Each one of us will die one day. Would it make a difference if we could know 'when' we would stop breathing ?

Would you prefer to 'know' the time of your appointment with death ? or would you prefer to 'not know' the time of your appointment with death.  

Favourite Line 
Nai Nai: Life is not only about what you do, it's also about how you do it. (Original dialogue is in Mandarin!)
