Soegaon; Dist-Aurangabad(MS) Abstract:- The present paper aims at understanding child psychology by every parents and teachers. It is difficult to know what exactly goes in the mind of a child and what his behaviour always asks for. The world of a child is different from the world of adults. A child is born with many talents in him but parents force him to learn what they expect from him. They hardly seem to take interest in his hobbies and interests. Etiquettes, mannerism, completion of homework, result of the examination, cleanliness and neatness do matter to them rather than his natural inclination towards the things. Ram Shankar Nikumbh, a new art teacher joins the school who pays attention to Ishaan, who seems to be very different from other students in the class. He educates children with enthusiasm and optimism. His motivation to students is different as he can read the psychology of children and help them come out of the difficulties they come across. In the beginning, Ishaan gives no response to him, but he begins to enjoy his class as he is a savior for him. He then finds that Ishaan shows less interest in learning things. He finds out the reasons of his unhappiness and tries to keep him happy. He helps him think, dream and imagine things that is a gifted quality bestowed upon him. The film Taare Jameen Par is the best film that exposes the way how a child can be handled with patience, love and care. The film actor Aamir Khan excellently directed the film and casted in it as Ram Shankar Nikumbh, a new art teacher in a boarding school and a child artist Darsheel Safary as Ishaan. Children are like stars on the earth, they are from heaven. The magical mind of the child shown in the film is strongly criticized, but such miracles do happen on the earth, there is, in fact, no exaggeration in demonstrating the character Ishaan as a gifted one. He is placed in a competitive world in which he exhibits his talent. The competition organized in the film motivates children to flower their hidden talents. The story revolves round the efforts made by an art teacher to fit him in a normal world. In fact, Ishaan is above the normal world, an abnormal child who has guts to make impossible possible. An attempt has been made to fulfill the special needs of children. In a sense, Taare Jameen Par is a hopeful journey of Ishaan from his solitary confinement to freedom, individuality and self-identity. Keywords: Psycho-Traumatic Study , Etiquettes, mannerism, completion of homework INTRODUCTION: The present paper aims at understanding child psychology by every parents and teachers. It is difficult to know what exactly goes in the mind of a child and what his behaviour always asks for. The film Taare Jameen Par is about Ishaan Awasthi, an eight-year old child who is interested in his own world of creative imagination. Eight-year-old Ishaan (Darsheel) is a happy-go-lucky child with a fertile imagination that can see fish flying but fails to grasp the difference between B and D. When asked to solve his three times table, he confidently Pramod Ambadasrao Pawar, “A PSYCHO-TRAUMATIC STUDY OF ISHAAN IN TAARE JAMIN PAR” Indian Streams Research Journal | Volume 5 | Issue 1 | Feb 2015 | Online & Print 1 . A Psycho-traumatic Study Of Ishaan In Taare Jamin Par picks up his pencil and sees a war of planets on the firmament of his mind where planet 3 smashes into planet 6 and beats it into smithereens. Naturally, the answer of 3 x 6 is 3 for our little genius. But that's between you and me. 1 The world of a child is different from the world of adults. A child is born with many talents in him but parents force him to learn what they expect from him. They hardly seem to take interest in his hobbies and interests. Etiquettes, mannerism, completion of homework, result of the examination, cleanliness and neatness do matter to them rather than his natural inclination towards the things. The character Ishaan finds no interest in studies and remains absent-minded that makes his parents tensed and worried about his future. In this context, no parents are careless about the future of the child, but it is equally important to read the mind of the child and understand his behaviour. Even having all the facilities of learning, he lags behind in studies. Whenever he tries to concentrate on the board, the letters on the board and in his note-books start dancing. This is nothing but his inbuilt power of imagination, but there is nobody to understand him. Parents meet teachers at school and know that he scores less marks and has a very poor performance in the class. Berated by the teachers, his parents send the kid away to a boarding school and deliver him to a living hell, where he faces ridicule and begins to lose all self-esteem in his effort to fit in. It takes an unconventional art teacher (Aamir Khan) to bring him out of his solitary confinement and unleash a whole new energy force that blinds the boring world with its colours and configurations. 2 His interest in drawing kites, fishes and animals is useless for them and that draws no attention from his parents. In the course of time, he becomes a trouble maker to both his parents and teachers. This makes them decide to send him to a boarding school. He is thus packed off to a boarding school to turn out to be disciplined. But, the things become worse than better because his separation from his parents, loneliness and helplessness in a boarding school is frightening to him. Child psychology is one of the many branches of psychology and one of the most frequently studied specialty areas. This particular branch focuses on the mind and behavior of children from prenatal development through adolescence. Child psychology deals not only with how children grow physically, but with their mental, emotional and social development as well.3 The emotional and psychological trauma begins to encompass him placing into an unbreakable circle of day to day routine work. His silence is his constant search for someone who can understand him completely. Things with him were the same in a new school where the change of a school makes no difference to him. The story is simple and connects instantly with every adult and child in the auditorium, even as the climax is predictable and plays heavily on your emotions.

  • A New Strategy for Child Development: a Study on Montessori Educational System and the Film Taare Zameen Par
    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 2.24 (IIJIF) A New Strategy for Child Development: A Study on Montessori Educational System and the Film Taare Zameen Par VINU C. JAMES M.Phil Scholar CMS College Coimbatore Abstract The child development is expandable and its potential may differ with the environment. Every child is different and hence, special. The distribution curve shows that most of the children who undergo dyslexia seem to be average in many traits. Few children deviate from the generally accepted norms in many ways. These deviations may give rise to multi factorial problems of adjustments at home, school and social setting and thus, leads to addition of problems in divergence. Deviation can be in terms of physical, social, emotional and mental characteristics. In the film Taare Zameen Par, the director Aamir Khan tried to disclose the present scenario of education. The director enhances his vision and mission through the film and he teaches about unconventional Montessori teaching. Teaching should not force the student to conform to the existing pattern of the world. The students should be equipped to think out of the box and define their own goals instead of fitting their ideas with the prevailing ones. Curricula and assessment should be flexible and encourage critical thinking on the part of the students so that they become compassionate and sensitive human beings.

The change in kinship arrangements, and particularly in intermarriage processes, is traced by analysing the reception of Hindi popular cinema. Films and their role and meaning in people´s lives in India was the object of my research. Films also provided me with a methodology for approaching my other subject-matters: family, marriage and love. Through my discussion of cultural change, the persistence of family as a core value and locus of identity, and the movie discourses depicting this dialogue, I have looked for a possibility of compromise and reconciliation in an Indian context. As the primary form of Indian public culture, cinema has the ability to take part in discourses about Indian identity and cultural change, and alleviate the conflicts that emerge within these discourses. Hindi popular films do this, I argue, by incorporating different familiar cultural narratives in a resourceful way, thus creating something new out of the old elements.

    TOPIK UTAMA DISSECT MESSAGES IN TAARE ZAMEEN PAR: A CRITICS TO APPLICATION OF BEHAVIORISTIC APPROACH IN LEARNING PROCESS Adita Widya Pangestika Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik Universitas Jenderal Soedirman [email protected] ABSTRAK Film adalah media yang efektif untuk kritik sosial. Melalui elemen audio visual film dapat menampilkan berbagai potret fenomena sosial yang ada di tengah-tengah masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi berbagai tanda dalam adegan film yang merupakan representasi dari kritik sosial, khususnya di bidang pendidikan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah semiotik yang dikembangkan oleh John Fiske. Adegan-adegan yang dianggap mengandung kritik sosial diuraikan pada 9 kode televisi. Setelah itu tanda tersebut akan dianalisis dalam tiga level, level realitas, representasi, dan ideologi. Studi ini menemukan bahwa film "Taare Zameen Par" berisi kritik terhadap pendekatan behavioris dalam sistem pendidikan. Upaya mengkritik pendekatan behavioris dilakukan dengan menghasilkan pendekatan humanistik sebagai pembanding. Sosok utama yang memiliki masalah disleksia hampir tidak dapat membaca ketika dididik menggunakan pendekatan behavioris. Dia juga mendapat label sebagai siswa yang nakal. Sosok utama mengalami perkembangan yang signifikan ketika dididik menggunakan pendekatan humanistik. Dengan cara ini para pembuat film berusaha menegaskan bahwa pendekatan behavioris memiliki banyak kelemahan dan tidak cocok untuk diterapkan dalam sistem pendidikan formal.

    Bobbytalkscinema.Com Responses/ Comments on “100 Best Performances of Hindi Cinema” in the year 2009-10-11. submitted on 13 October 2009 bollywooddeewana bollywooddeewana.blogspot.com/ I can't help but feel you left out some important people, how about Manoj Kumar in Upkar or Shaheed (i haven't seen that) but he always made strong nationalistic movies rather than Sunny in Deol in Damini Meenakshi Sheshadri's performance in that film was great too, such a pity she didn't even earn a filmfare nomination for her performance, its said to be the reason on why she quit acting Also you left out Shammi Kappor (Junglee, Teesri MANZIL ETC), shammi oozed total energy and is one of my favourite actors from 60's bollywood Rati Agnihotri in Ek duuje ke Liye Mala Sinha in Aankhen Suchitra Sen in Aandhi Sanjeev Kumar in Aandhi Ashok Kumar in Mahal Mumtaz in Khilona Reena Roy in Nagin/aasha Sharmila in Aradhana Rajendra Kuamr in Kanoon Time wouldn't permit me to list all the other memorable ones, which is why i can never make a list like this bobbysing submitted on 13 October 2009 Hi, As I mentioned in my post, you are right that I may have missed out many important acts. And yes, I admit that out of the many names mentioned, some of them surely deserve a place among the best. So I have made some changes in the list as per your valuable suggestion. Manoj Kumar in Shaheed (Now Inlcuded in the Main 100) Meenakshi Sheshadri in Damini (Now Included in the Main 100) Shammi Kapoor in Teesri Manzil (Now Included in the Main 100) Sanjeev Kumar in Aandhi (Now Included in Worth Mentioning Performances) Sharmila Togore in Aradhana (Now Included in Worth Mentioning Performances) Sunny Deol in Damini (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) Mehmood in Pyar Kiye Ja (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) Nagarjun in Shiva (Shifted to More Worth Mentioning Performances) I hope you will approve the changes made as per your suggestions.

  • Interrogating Masculinity Through the Child Figure in Bombay Cinema
    Networking Knowledge: Journal of the MeCCSA Postgraduate Network, Vol. 4, No. 1 (2011) ARTICLE Interrogating Masculinity through the Child Figure in Bombay Cinema SIDDHARTH PANDEY, University of Delhi, India Abstract Patriarchy is most often understood in relation to the position of women in society. I propose to interrogate patriarchy in relation to children – particularly the male child – as depicted in two major works of Bombay Cinema. The number and scope of critical engagements with the onscreen portrayal of the child figure are restricted, and in the light of this lack I interrogate the portrayal of the male child figure, with particular emphasis on the constructs of masculinity that always implicate the child. The paper will undertake a detailed analysis of these masculine constructs, which are significantly shaped and interrogated in the areas of family and educational institutions for the male child (See Kakar 1981, and Haywood and Mac an Ghaill, 2003). For case studies, I analyze two highly acclaimed contemporary movies of Bombay Cinema: Taare Zameen Par (by Aamir Khan, 2007) and Udaan (by Vikramditya Motwane, 2010). Both movies critique the many notions associated with manhood and masculinity by situating their arguments within the contexts of family and educational institutions. What makes these critiques even more significant is the resistance offered by the child figure to conventional masculine authority through the agency of imagination. With such agency, not only does the male child debunk the traditionally sanctioned interests and attitudes of men, but also brings about a reconfiguration of those behavioral co-ordinates that have till now dominated the domains of family and education.

  • Personality Narrative of Victims of Child Abuse
    The National Life Skills, Value Education & School Wellness Program IJSHW ISSN:2349-5464 Personality Narrative of Victims of Child Abuse W. Yasashree* & Anushka Suri** *MA, Ambedkar University, Delhi, **MA, Ambedkar University, Delhi Abstract The paper is an interdisciplinary approach towards understanding the personality structure of a victim of child abuse from the encounter with abuse until young adulthood when clinical- pathological manifestations start to occur. The hypothesis of this paper is constructed around the idea that the personality structure of a child abuse victim becomes way more important to understand while it is in the process of development in the here and now than just as a part of the patient’s history after clinical manifestations. The movie, Taare Zameen Par is taken as an example. The author's viewpoint is shared to know about the physical and emotional abuse children face at home and school. The role of parents, teachers, and school administration is discussed along with the defenses that help in coping with the trauma/abuse. The paper also focuses on various preventive and support measures towards the end. The idea thus was to construct a personality structure by linking all the areas mentioned above. Contributions from the vast disciplines of early childhood education and psychotherapy would help in understanding this personality structure. Keywords: Child, Child Abuse, Personality, School, Parents Focus of the paper consequences of abuse on the child who The present paper focuses on the personality encountered it not just from a clinical structure of child abuse victims. Following a psychopathology lens but rather most traumatic event, it becomes very necessary that importantly study and understand the personality the victim of such an unfortunate experience be structure of this child in the home-school space given the space necessary for the expression of before a clinical diagnosis might be arrived at.

  • Catch a Falling Star
    DATA TRACKER Catch a falling star Who would have thought that Aamir Khan, once the heartthrob of millions, would become the target of so much ridicule and public anger? The star had a dream debut with Qayamat se Qayamat Tak, and subsequently won scores of fans and critical acclaim with movies like Rang de Basanti, Taare Zameen Par and 3 Idiots, among many others. His popularity soared with a television show that he produced and anchored, called Satyameva Jayate (SMJ) — a talk show around social problems such as inequality, abused women, child trafficking and such others. SMJ was Aamir’s first turn on a political stage and the three seasons, that it played for, resulted in donations pouring in from the public, for a number of causes TOP 10 CELEBRITIES IN PRINT BY NEWS BUZZ National Celebrity % PR Share in Bollywood Industry Rank Jan - Oct ‘14 Jan - Oct ‘15 Jan - Oct ‘14 Jan - Oct ‘15 1 Salman Khan Salman Khan 4.8 6 !" 2 Shah Rukh Khan Amitabh Bachchan 4.0 4 # 3 Amitabh Bachchan Shah Rukh Khan 3.3 3 $ 4 Deepika Padukone Deepika Padukone 3.0 3 !" 5 Priyanka Chopra Ranbir Kapoor 2.6 2 # 6 AAMIR KHAN Akshay Kumar 2.5 2 # 7 Ranbir Kapoor Priyanka Chopra 2.3 2 $ 8 Akshay Kumar AAMIR KHAN 2.2 2 $ 9 Hrithik Roshan Kangana Ranaut 2.1 2 New 10 Kareena Kapoor Anushka Sharma 2.1 2 New Sometime towards the beginning of last year, things began to unravel for Aamir Khan.
