I am very touched by your comments and people like you who carve out life in bits and pieces from a troubled past provide inspiration and hope to many. I am from India and although my parents provided me with a comfortable life, I had a few friends in school who were poor. I was humbled by their cheerfulness in spite of what they were going through, and I kept their friendship as long as I was in that school. This movie is the best I had seen and brings out the best in human spirit to survive against struggle. I wish you the very best in life and hope your life serves to provide hope for others in a similar plight. Jai Hind!
