Divines (2016)

Money! Money! Money!

Reflection 
There are some stories that help us realize how fortunate we are and all our problems or shortcomings appear smaller under it's glow.  

In the name of fairness, we created a system where money doesn't grow on trees (or fall off from trees), we have to earn it.
It is one of those stories that makes us question, what is right or wrong ? Do we take into account the circumstances or context to figure out what is ethical and what is not ? Or is it unjustified to determine what is ethical and what is not under the umbrella of context ? Why is the gap between the fortunate and less fortunate increasing with time ?

Entre les murs / The Class (2008)

🎥 A teacher and his class...

Reflection
"Teaching is an art.
For a true teacher,
An impromptu painting,
Smudges appear here and there,
Flowers wait to bloom,
Strokes intensify,
You can see the stream,
As it passes by,
In search of another dream." #PoeticWithHope
