Mr Keating

i sat all day watching tv...not that i had nothing to do....but who cares to move?? :P
so episodes of various programs flashed by as i sat there rocking on my chair and doing...well practically nothing!
there were so many characters all over and i was trying v v v hard to try and relate with at least one of them...
after many unsuccessful attempts i think i connected with a certain "Mr Keating"--
he's the new teacher (Robin Williams) in the film Dead Poet's Society
i agree with him--poetry is a lot more about how you see a thing than how the poet probably saw the thing!!
and this is the reason i've been having a lot of conflicts with the teacher who is teaching us poetry at school...
she's a very knowledgeable lady...But she just WON'T ask what we think of a poetry...or even if somebody did say what she/he thought...she would just shoo her/him off...
its v disappointing!
so here's wishing some mr.keating turns up as a teacher in my life SOMEDAY!

ps: lots of typos were there on my last post...but the room was v dark u c...so kindly forgive me! :P

  2. I was loving Dead Poet's Society that night -- but did not want to be up past midnight. I caught the end of it the following afternoon .. I plan to keep track and catch the entire movie the next time it is aired..
