MUMBAI, JULY 31, 2010: On Wednesday, July 28, the Shelter boys were very lucky (as usual) to view the movie ‘A Wednesday’ along with Deepal Shaw who plays the role of a T.V. reporter in it. She herself brought the CD and screened it for the boys. The subject of the movie is terrorism. It is a fast and gripping movie, hence though the movie began at 8.30pm the boys watched it silently and intently.
After the movie the smaller boys went to sleep, and Deepal Shaw engaged the bigger boys in a serious and very meaningful discussion on the movie. Deepal answered whatever questions the boys had about the movie, and shared with them the many values the movie contained, e.g. the power of the media, the futility of answering violence with violence, the strength of the common man through unity etc.
Mr. Mir Ranjan Negi graced the occasion with his impressive presence along with his wife. Deepal felicitated him on being appointed the coach of the women’s hockey team of India.
