6 important lessons to learn from movie "English Vinglish"

English Vinglish was an awesome movie, only thing I regret is I could not watch it in theater. I got to watch it on television and it was a pleasant movie to watch.

This was one of the movies that leaves you with thoughts and teaches you important lessons of life. I got to learn 6 lessons from the movie:

1.      There is no age to learn something: Sridevi (as Shashi in the movie) was fighting her everyday at New York, the incidence at coffee shop, shook her. So as soon as she reads the ad to learn English, she was determined enough to learn the language she was mocked for from her husband and daughter.

   2.   Love yourself first:  Shashi underestimated herself and thus was taken for granted by her family too. The movie makes you learn to love yourself first then only expect others to love you more. Shashi learns to love herself when she comes to know that she is an “entrepreneur”. 

3.      Don't forget those who helped you: In a foreign country with not friendly language, there were few people who helped Shashi, like the guard at metro makes her learn to use the metro card and Shashi never forgot to smile at him when she was able to it by herself.

4.      Every day teaches you something new: It was incidence at coffee shop that made Shashi determined enough to learn the language. It could have worked the other way round too but Shashi didn’t break instead decided to fight back.

5.      Don't judge anyone: While at the class, everyone judged/mocked the teacher- David, it was Shashi who shush others not to mock him for being different.

6.      Respect your partner: Shashi’s husband not only made fun of her being less educated but at one point also says that she was born to make laddoos. Respect from partner is very important and if you don’t get it, it is harsh. At one incidence when she comes to know about feelings of the French guy Laurent for her and her niece asks her whether Shashi feels the same for him, she replies, she doesn’t needs love, she needs respect.

For those who haven’t watch the movie, please watch this amazing movie
