I thought this is hilarious: "... people are paid for the number of white hairs on their heads. There's something to be said about the value of experience, but seriously, people should be paid for the work they do and not what they have in their heads (if they cannot use it in their work!)." ~ from the Kway Teow Man tsk tsk.
Unfortunately we don't. Although Avijit (in the movie AND in real life) is blessed with immense talent, the only concern these people have, is of daily bread and butter.
You'v GOT to watch this. Inspiring and uplifting, poignant and moving. It's amazing how art has the power to make a difference in the most unlikely of circumstances.
