There is an interesting sequence in the movie 'Taare Zameen Par', when Aamir talks about bringing down trees by just screaming at it . Curiousity got the better of me, and i decided to google for it. Here's what i could find.
The following is a chapter from the book "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" by Robert Fulghum. Thought that many of you out here may also find something in this:
quote:
In the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific some villagers practice a unique form of logging. If a tree is too large to be felled with an ax, the natives cut it down by yelling at it. Woodsmen with special powers creep up on a tree just at dawn and suddenly scream at it at the top of their lungs. They continue this for thirty days. The tree dies and falls over. The theory is that the hollering kills the spirit of the tree. According to the villagers, it always works
The Solomon Islanders may have a point. Yelling at living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. It's hard to believe, but i feel there is a lot of truth in it.

I absolutely loved that movie, "Taare Zameen Par". I've copied it for people many times and am in the process of doing so now.I was curious about the same scene with the Solomon Islands and googled it. What I've found is extremely interesting, though not very surprising. I would recommend "Taare Zameen Par" to anyone who's looking for a great movie. (The movie has now been dubbed in English by Walt Disney Pictures.)
