The long wait of Aamir Khans debut as a director-cum-actor is finally over. He is back with a new film ‘Taare Zameen Par’, in which Aamir himself plays the role of a teacher helps a student who hates studying. Also produced by Aamir Khan, The film is a very sensitive story about childcare and Aamir says that the film is dedicated to all children.

Taare Zameen Par is Aamir Khan’s gift to every child with a powerful message for parents and teachers on their attitude towards the mentally disable children with time, patience and care.

‘’Almost every member of the cast and crew of this film has been a part of ‘Taare Zameen Par’, due to the emotion of having been moved by the script and wanting to be a part of the telling of this very important story. All of us together have made a film that has enhanced our sensitivity towards children and we hope the same for everyone who sees it. ‘’ Says Aamir.

It has been never easy for a children oriented movie to get a big hit in the box office and not all producers will be interested in such script. I wish with all my heart that Taare Zameen Par becomes a big hit in the box office. If it becomes a big hit then many directors will become eager to make more movies on children.

Inspired by the Aamir’s initiative of promoting children education in his film, 24x7guru.com – a leading provider of self assessment test to Class3 to Class10 students in association with Radio Mirchi has announced the launch of ‘Destination NASA Knowledge Challenge’ contest (http://www.24x7guru.com/frmDestinationNASA.aspx).

The contest will hunt for 10 smart kids, who will win a chance to visit NASA, America along with their parent / teacher. The Knowledge Challenge program will be conducted in schools across the nation and will be spread over a period of 2 months starting November 27, 2007 and culminating on February 8, 2008.

Good Luck!

Dear Mathew,
Nice to hear from you, even more as I am early into Blogging activities.
Thanks for the information, I had just enough time to go through the site and know more on its NASA Knowledge Challenge 2008.
A minor correction, the 135 participants mentioned in your message will be selected for the final round of tests and 10 of these children will be adjudicated as National Winners. They will be eligible for a trip to the NASA facilities in USA. Each winning student can be accompanied by a parent and a school representative, all this at the expense of 24x7Guru.
The other 120 students will receive exciting prizes as below:
Desktop PC (20)
iPod Nano (30)
Digital Camera (30)
G-Shock Watches (40)

Now for the information of other Parents and Teachers here is more on the contest:


Destination NASA Knowledge Challenge 2008 is a nationwide knowledge assessment program that will discover meritorious students based on set of multiple choice tests. The Knowledge Challenge program will be conducted in schools across the nation and will be spread over a period of 2 months starting November 27, 2007 and culminating on February 8, 2008.

A few questions you may ask:

Who are eligible for the tests and prizes?
Children from classes 6-10 and have subscribed to 24x7guru.com are eligible. Those who haven't subscribed to 24x7guru.com or Destination NASA are also eligible for prizes provided they register for free.

What would the tests be on?
Ideally your Children wouldn't need any additional brushing up, as the syllabus would be based on their respective class syllabus but still I'd suggest children read more and also take some practice tests to have an edge over today's competition.

Friends, Let me know your thoughts.
