Journey of a woman

Vibha and Rohan - three years later

Rating: Suitable for all ages


Chapter 1

Rohan’s Office party was taking place at the taj mahal hotel in Mumbai. Some of the most important and influence people in India were attending, from politicians, economists, lawyers. This was probably the fifth event related to Rohan’s work that Vibha was attending. They had been happily married for three years now.
She started University soon after their unplanned marriage in Benares and her graduation as a fashion designer was almost complete. She was known between her husband’s colleagues as a lovely person and everyone enjoyed her presence.
Rohan loved his wife very much. He was still stunned with his own attitude in Benares when he proposed to her, Knowing that they barely knew each other, but he was thankful everyday for having her next to him and to be a prisoner of her “spell”, like he used to joke with her.
People were gathering in small groups in tables where, previously, they had dinner or standing while they talked. A small band had been hired and a few couples were dancing at the rhythm of the soft music. Rohan held Vibha’s waist while they were dancing and smiling at each other. She gave him a light kiss on his lips and said:
-“I love you!”
-“I love you too, baby!”
She laid her head against his chest and they continued dancing tightly.
The music ended and the dancing couples started to disperse through the room.
-“Natasha! Wow, it’s been a long time. Didn’t expect to see you here.”
Vibha felt her heart skip a beat and her nails almost craved Rohan’s hand skin when she heard this words. The voice was too familiar. She and Rohan turned to see Mr Sigh (?) , through whom they had met in the plane to Switzerland.
-“So, you decided to access the services of our PR manager…” – he said to Rohan.
Vibha wished to disappear, her embarrassment was visible.
-“Mr Sigh , this is my wife Mrs Vibhavary Verma. – said Rohan with a confident, strong voice.
Mr Sigh ‘s face expression was of total shock, surprise and curiosity. He looked from Rohan to Vibha, and from her to Rohan again.
-“So, you quit the business, huh?” – he said to Vibha.
-“My wife is a respectful woman and she should and will be treated like that” – Rohan cut, with his voice tone a little raised.
The surprise, the excess of drinks he had taken and the sense of opportunity to take revenge on some recent business Rohan had prejudice, all came together for him to say something he would never say under normal conditions:
-“What respect? You married a slut!” –he said loudly, in a clear provoking tone, looking directly into Rohan’s eyes.
Rohan’s reaction was automatic; he punched Mr Sigh in the face, who responded with another punch in Rohan’s stomach. They were starting a fight. Vibha felt a shiver going through her spine when she heard the word slut and saw Rohan’s reaction:
-“Stop! Stop it!” – she and other people got between them, trying to separate them.
She was feeling extremely embarrassed, people were looking at them, they couldn’t have done a scene like that in such a place. What would Rohan’s colleagues think? Would he be tainted and prejudiced after that? Of course he would…and she was the reason, she was guilty of all that. She felt people’s gazes like burns. She got out of the room and went to the reception. She asked for her coat and purse and left a note for her husband.
Rohan put himself together, gaining control again. His colleagues let him go. Everyone was looking and commenting what they had just seen and heard.
-“What happened, Rohan?” – asked one of his colleagues.
-“Where’s Vibha?” – was his response.
Someone said something about her leaving the room a few moments before.
The receptionist told him she had left and gave him her note.




Chapter 2

Vibha entered her old apartment. Although she was living with Rohan and his grandmother at their house, she had decided to keep her own place. It had been months since the last time she had entered there.Her past had never been an issue since the day they had married. She frequently thought she was living a fairy tale, Rohan couldn’t be real. She was very cautious at first, always scared that one day her past would speak louder, but now she was too comfortable with her life. Nevertheless, from nowhere her past came into their lives again, she felt extremely guilty and scared. Scared of what would happen between her and Rohan…this last thought left her sick, she ran into the bathroom and threw up everything she had eaten.


The next day :

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I know this was my entire fault. I need some time alone. I’ll be at my apartment.” Rohan reread the note.
He noticed that the rumors about his fight and his wife had reached everyone in his office. Except they were more than rumors, they were true…
“For me, you’re the Ganges herself”, he remembered, and now he was feeling ashamed of Vibha. Seeing her through other people’s eyes made him feel disgusted. Imagining Mr Sigh touching Vibha, as well as so many other men was increasing his despise and jealously for her.


Vibha was sick all morning and kept throwing up. She had noticed small changes, but it was all coming together now. She bought some pregnancy tests at lunch time from her classes at college, and they came back all positive.
She felt her womb, while she imagined herself as a mother and smiled. She thought of Rohan as she was regretting her attitude the night before. He stood by her, he defended her, and she cowardly left. They had to talk and clear things up and she had to tell him about the baby.


Later...

She stepped out of the house, crying. Emotions had taken over her. His face, his anger, his words, the disgust in his eyes… She could have faced and took that from anybody, but not from him. Every word he said hit her like a stab. She heard his shouts, she saw his rage and she didn’t utter a word. He finished and she left. Was this the end?
Before reaching the gate she stopped, something was wrong, she felt dizzy. She massaged her forehead, took a deep breath and stepped out of the gate into the street.


Rohan followed her with his eyes through the window. He was angry and rage was still running through his veins. In the middle he said things he didn’t felt just to hurt her, to unload everything on her, all the comments, all the rumors, all the looks. Maybe he had went a bit too far.
-“Sir!” –said a nervous voice.
-“Yes?” – Rohan responded to his grandmother’s gatekeeper.
-“It’s Mrs Vibha, please come quickly!” – he answered as he disappeared through the corridor.Rohan’s anger suddenly stopped and was replaced by a pain in his heart. He ran after the other man and when he reached the street he saw her, a few meters away laying on the ground with people surrounding her.
-“Baby?!” – he called, giving her light taps in her cheek – “What happened? Baby, wake up!” – he said with a worried and shaking voice.
The sound of an ambulance was approaching. She was still reaction less.


The doctor appeared.-“How is she, sir? What happened? What does she have?” – Rohan asked worried.
-“Well, she is ok now. She hit her head when she fainted, and we aren’t sure if her vomits are just derived from the pregnancy or if she has some more serious head trauma. We will keep her in observation tonight, but she can go home tomorrow. She said she had had a discussion before the faint and we believe that that’s what caused it. She can’t go through strong emotions during these months.You may see her now, if you want.”



Chapter 3

He was caught by her eyes as soon as he entered the room. He could see she was hurt, her eyes were like a mirror to her soul.He sat next to her in the bed and she automatically stepped a little from him.
-“Since when do you know?” – he started.
-“I found out this morning.” – she said, not looking at him.
-“Baby, I’m sorry! I was out of line, I didn’t mean what I said…” – he continued while he grabbed her hand.
She released her hand and went to the bathroom. He heard her, and then the flush. After a while she got out.
-“Are you ok?”
She returned to the bed without looking at him. With a pain in her heart, she said:
-“I need to rest. Please leave.”
-“Baby, I…”
-“Leave!” – She repeated, now with a louder and stronger voice.

Rohan sat in the hospital corridor. He replayed their discussion in his head. He couldn’t blame her; she had all the reasons to never want to see him again. He knew she was an escort before marrying her, she never hide it from him, and he had no right to throw that to her face now. Vibha wasn’t the kind of person who keeps resents. One didn’t even have to apologize, it was enough just showing regret and it would all be good again in seconds. This was a first in three years. He had clearly gone too far.
-“Brother? You look worried, I thought the doctor said Vibha was ok now…?!” – asked Rohan’s younger brother, interrupting his thoughts.
-“Oh, hi! Yes, she is. You can go inside if you want.”

Vibha was fighting hard with herself to control her emotions when sunshine entered her room:
-“Didi?”Vibha gave Chutki and Vivaan a big smile.
-“Hey sweeties!” – she exclaimed.
They both realized something was wrong between Vibha and Rohan as soon as they looked into her eyes.They talked for a while and they congratulated her for the baby. She smiled but looked even more sad.
-“Didi, is everything ok between you and Rohan? – She asked.
Vibha’s eyes filled with tears but she didn’t say anything. She hugged Chutki and waited until they left the room to allow the tears to shed.

It was night when Michelle appeared. How they had let her in and how she had known Vibha was in the hospital was a mystery.
-“Sweetie, I don’t know exactly what happened, but it isn’t hard for me to imagine, from what I was told. I guess how you must be feeling, but the truth is that you have two choices and what I want to tell you is this: Don’t let the shadows of your past ruin the life and the dream you built. Fight for what you achieved and make it work!”

Michelle hugged Vibha and watched her past through the gate and into the house before driving away.Vibha walked into the room darkened by the night and saw him standing in the balcony. He turned when they were just a few meters from each other and saw her.
-“Vibha…?” – he said with surprise and stepped in her direction.
Their eyes met and hers filled with tears again. The pregnancy was leaving her too emotional, she thought. She hugged him tightly. He hugged her back and said to her ear:
- “I’m sorry…”
-“I’m sorry too…”
He held a hand to support her face and said:
-“I love you…”
She lifted her hand to his face and caressed his cheek. And she kissed him.

Fanfic

The first two parts are of modupe who started the fic in http://z13.invisionfree.com/RanishekOnlineForums/index.php?showtopic=174x.php?showtopic=174
She hasn't written anything since 2007 and I gave it an ending, so the 3rd part is mine.
Pairing: Rani and Abhishek
Rating: +16
This is just fiction, ok? A fan fiction, don't freak out, and Rani and Abhishek, don't take it the wrong way, if you ever come across this, please! I repeat, it's just fiction, it's a story about two characters that were inspired on you - characters - it doesn't mean anything, it's just for fun.

Friends or Lovers ?... Part 1

Rani is finally getting a break well deserved after shooting 18 hours straight…. She is in New York working on her next movie Tara Rum Pum Pum. As she finally made it into her hotel room leaving all the noise on the sets, non stop make up and the continuous flirtation from Saif..She takes a deep breath as she collapsed on her king size bed fit for a queen. Her beautiful black hair with golden brown streaks lay beautifully on the pillow. She looks at her 24 karat titan ragan watch and could not believe it was midnight already. She sluggishly got up from her bed and undressed as she headed to the bathroom when she hears the voicemail alert on her cell phone that had been going off all day; "it is probably mama" she thought. She picks it up and started to play her messages; "Rani! it's papa ;just calling to say hello and mama sends her love" she smiles as she could also hear her mom's voice in the background screaming "we miss you" she turned on the bath faucet as she proceeded to listen to her next message; "hey Rani…."
She quickly turned off the faucet as her heart skipped uncountable beats; "it's abhi… just checking on you…hope you are doing alright;hope your hectic schedule is not wearing you out; hmmnnnnnnnnn; well I look forward to seeing you next week ….since my shoot is scheduled then. .. Miss ya bye" Rani smiled as she felt her body shiver while she replayed Abhi's message in her mind. She turns off her cell phone as she thought "who want's to listen to other messages after hearing a message like that" She quickly collected her self as she tied her bath robe tightly and stood in front of the bathroom mirror.. she whispered "why.why.why am I doing this to myself…you have already told him that you only want to be friends, so snap out of it" Rani sighed wishing that she could convince herself that she has no feelings for Abhi. She quickly turned on the faucet for her bath and watched her bubbles foam up… as she stared and concentrated deep enough so that she could get abhi of her mind for now.. She grabbed her scripts as she dissolved into the bath and disappeared into tomorrow's scenes.
To be Continued………




"Cut, Cut". This has been the comment of the day from director Siddharth Anand "saif ...we need to get this shot yaar". Rani squeaked as Saif looked more and more frustrated. "it most be all that staying up all night with your lady love" Rani said as she teased Saif since his girlfriend Rosa is in town... "oh stop Rani" Saif says as he whispered to her playfully " look who's here" Rani looked to the side and her heart skipped a beat as she took a quick nonchalant look at Abhi who has just arrived on the sets and is being greeted by everyone. "is that a blush I see Rani?" Saif teased Rani ... "Oh stop being silly". "it seems I am not the only one with love in town". "oh please Abhi is just a friend".. "yeah and I am a virgin"..saif whispered. Before Rani could even utter a response to saif..Siddharth came running back after welcoming Abhi screaming "action, action". It took a while but after 20 takes the scene was finally completed. As Rani walked towards her makeup chair ..she heard this thick masculine voice. that always made her blush "hey beautiful". She turned back as Abhi walked towards her to give her a warm hug..he always smelled good she thought as she also remembered how safe she feels in his hands "gosh Rani we need to get you some permanent hills..you make me feel like a giant". she laughed as she looked down her feet realizing that she took of her heels for some flat shoes as soon as she heard "cut". So how was your flight? ,Rani asked "not bad..I got a chance to sleep." The shooting for Umaroo Joon is officially complete he continued as he pulled the chair out for Rani and leaned against the wall. "Well good. I am sure the movie will do well. I am so happy for you". "So I hear about your steamy hot romance with Aditya" Abhi smiled as he teased Rani about tabloid stories that has been doing rounds in India about rani"s affair with movie producer Aditya Chopra. "Oh please..very funny..you can't even be friends with people and before you know it you are the reason for their divorce…..you are talking about me what about you Mr. hot shot.." "the sexiest man in India"…Abhi gave is best fake laugh as he shrugged thinking that Rani was going to ask him about Aish. Rani smiled as she kicked her self inside knowing that this would be the best time to question him about all the reported romance between him and Aish….which her friends has been driving her crazy with phone calls about.. "Mr. Bachchan are you ready for your touch up?" the make up artist called out …. "How about dinner tonight?" Abhi asked as he walked up for his touch up "sure why not" Rani said with a voice and a smile that can make any man fall in love.
After dinner Rani and Abhi went up to Rani's room. As they approached the door..Abhi said "well I don't want to keep you up too late since you have early morning shoot…" "no don't worry ..you can come in I am use to getting no sleep"..Abhi hesitated to go in as his mind flashed back to the last time he was alone in a room with Rani……………………………………….
It was a late shooting in New York during their last movie together KanK.. and everyone literally dragged with one eyes open to their hotel room. His room was next to Rani's room…Before he could drop on his bed he heard a soft knock and it was Rani….before he could even open the door fully she allowed herself in "I am too tired to sleep" "are you sleepy?" Rani asked as she carefully squeezed to the side of the bed and immediately turned on the TV…. "oh no not tonight ..you will not keep me up late by making me watch another girly movie" Abhi said as he grabbed the remote from Rani's hand. He carefully laid next to her on the bed as he grabbed the blanket underneath her.. "so tell me why can't you sleep….could it be because of the love scene shooting tomorrow.. with sharukh? ..you know how you always get nervous before shooting a love scene"…. "Oh my gosh you know me too well Abhi"…I don't know why I get like this before a love scene shoot..but you know what I don't get like this with you"…. "Abhi smiled as he moved closer to her.. "that's because we are practically married..I mean we have been married in all our movies so it is like second nature for me to make out with the queen bee of bollywood" "oh please Abhi" Rani said as she tried to hide her blushing face. Before she could even look back up she felt Abhi's hand softly and tenderly on her face as he sited up and used his other hand to pull her long brown tresses away from her face..at this time it was like everything stopped..Rani did not even utter a word as she looked up with her brown hazel eyes open wide staring at Abhi's deep black eyes.. he then took her right hand and softly kissed her palm as he placed her hand on his chest ..he was wearing his signature button less shirt …enabling Rani to feel the race of his heartbeat..she closed her eyes as their lips melted into each other….they both then lost all their inhibitions as they moved closer, as he tenderly held Rani's face their tongue begin to dance to the rhythm of their heart beat..it was total heaven until their rhythm was interrupted with a voice "room service" Rani quickly tapped Abhi who did not even hear this voice.. "Abhi get there door". Abhi quickly got up to answer the door..by the time he turned around after explaining to room attendant that he did not request room service..rani has already got up and ready to leave…. "where are you going? Abhi asked as he held on to Rani's hand.. "you know we both need to get some sleep" Rani said "I love you Rani" Abhi whispered as Rani let go and walked towards the door" "oh please Abhi stop with your silliness" "I am not being silly..this thing between us is more than friendship and you know that"… "Abhi there is no need to complicate things..we have a great friendship..and plus with both of our hectic careers it will never work"….. "why won't it work…………..unless you can look me in the eye and tell me you don't love me". Rani kept her face towards the door as she said softly… "we have a great friendship Abhi and let's just leave it as that". …………..
"Abhi,Abhi let me have your jacket" Rani said as she yelled playfully to Abhi who appeared to be lost in some deep thoughts. "Well hopefully we will rap up shooting next week and I should be back in India next week ..Rani said as she hung Abhi's coat. "So when does the shooting for Guru start for you?".. Perhaps next month Abhi said… "So another movie with Aish …...Rani said as she sat on the bed next to Abhi…… Abhi quickly jumped in knowing this would be the best time to tell Rani about Aish… "I wanted to tell you myself" "Well news travels fast" Rani said as she felt her voice becoming shaky as she became tearful…. "Gosh Abhi…..I guess maybe you did not love me afterall?.. "Please don't say that Rani…I will always love you..Those words I said to you and the moment we shared is real to me..and no one said anything about love with Aish..I do like her and I enjoy her company".. "Please spare me the details"..rani said as she wiped her tears with her hand….. "well you moved on pretty fast"…. "Rani it has been months and you cut me off every time I tried to talk to you and you practically avoided me when we returned to India" "Gosh Abhi I needed time to absorb what happened…I guess I thought you would wait for me" "I am sorry Rani" "no don't be sorry..If you are happy with her..then you have to follow you heart..and as your friend I am happy for you" Rani said as she prepared to get up..Abhi grabbed a hold of her hand as he got up and gave a warm hug.. "you are the best" he whispered as they both held on tightly.
To Be Continued……………..Friends Or Lovers?



Well, I really liked your story and it seems like you're not going to finish it since the last time you updated it was in 2007... I hope you don't mind, but I imagined an ending, an alternative ending until you decide to continue it, ok?



" in Rani's room"
Abhi hugged her tightly, he had missed her very much the last months, she had avoided him after his declaration of love to her and made him feel like shit. He had moved on, he was dating this awesome woman and now Rani was bringing back again all those feeling he had for her. "I, I guess I thought you would wait for me". She loved him too. He felt she was playing with his feelings and that wasn't fair. They stepped back a little from each other, she looked up at him, she had tears in her eyes, maybe she was regretting her attitude towards him over the last months. He didn't know, but he knew he was in love with her still, but he also liked Aish, his heart was confused and he couldn't see Rani tearful, he raised a hand to clear one tear that had rolled to her check.Her heart was painful, she felt so angry with herself, why had she been so stupid, why did she let him go when she was in love with him too, how could she have been so selfish and then believe that somehow he would wait for her. She couldn't help regretting while looking into his big dark eyes. She felt his fingers touch her check, wiping out her tear, only if she could go back in time…-"I'm sorry."- was all she could pronounce. His eyes got wider. "I'm sorry for my selfishness, my egocentrism, my behavior, If I could go back in time…"
Her words were cut off by the pressure of his lips against hers, she responded to the kiss. It started off tender, slow, his hands rolled down her waist, while hers met behind his neck. Their heads changed angle, the kiss became more passionate, deeper. They moved closer to each other and against the wall. No single thought crossed both of their minds except the word desire. He pulled her up, her legs across his hips, his hand unbuttoning her shirt, while hers did the same. He pushed her on to the bed and took off the rest of his clothes.
Rani looked at his naked body who was now taking off her bottom clothes and realized how this would end, she couldn't stop it halfway, she didn't want to. She had never been in love with anyone else; if she had come too late, if she had lost him, at least she would have that night to remember, she thought, to comfort and convince her own mind of what she was doing. Abhi was now caressing her skin and kissing all her body, starting from bellow, she couldn't avoid releasing small sounds of pleasure.He took her bra, the last piece of cloth she had on and gently squeezed her breasts while licking, kissing and biting the nips. Her hands hold his head while he did this, showing in a way her incentive to carry on. He moved up to her neck, while their waists met and fit and she opened her legs to welcome his. Their lips met again in a passionate kiss, while his hands pressured hers along her head.
She couldn't help a small scream when he penetrated her. The pain was sudden and strangely mixed with pleasure; the feeling of him inside her couldn't be described in words while he came again and again. She was a virgin, he realized, the resistance when he penetrated her and why she wasn't moving like she would and the somehow painful scream couldn't mean anything else. The feeling of being the fist man in her life made him feel she was all his. "she must love me", he thought, she wouldn't wait so long, especially in the show business world, to "waist" it on me if she didn't have strong feelings for me. He felt his love and respect for her increase. His anger towards her selfishness was long gone.
The pleasure increased greatly as they reached the orgasm at the same time. The contractions of her vagina made her feel him even more while it gave him more pleasure. They kissed again and after a while he got off from top of her and laid next to her. They automatically cuddled together, her head against his chest, their legs crossed, his arm holding hers on the top of his stomach and they fell asleep.
Abhi woke up first in the morning, he looked down at Rani's sleeping face and to her naked body and smiled remembering their night. He thought of Aishwarya and how he cheated her almost without thinking, and that had been very wrong. She was an amazing woman who cared for him and she didn't deserve what he had just done to her. He knew it would hurt her terribly but he would have to be honest with her and tell her the truth, all of it, and the sooner the better. If Rani was willing to give a chance to their love, he was too, he truly loved her, like he had never loved anyone before, that was clear to him now.
Rani woke up soon after Abhi and found herself cuddled in his arms, as they had fallen asleep. Reality hit her hard, as she remembered their night. She couldn't find the reasons for letting it happen. She had always had that conviction that most people her age find an overcome idea, that her first time would be with her husband after marriage or at least with a man she loved and had a strong and long relationship, a commitment that might or might not lead to marriage, but what they had would be serious. And what had she done? She had slept with Abhishek. They had a long history of friendship and she loved him more than she had ever loved any man, but what relationship did they have? Absolutely none, in fact he was dating another woman, whom he had said he liked…
She felt confused, guilty, used, disappointed with herself, with her personal life. How could she be friends with Abhi after this? Would he tell Aish what had happened between them? How would she take it? The two of them didn't get along already. Had this meant anything for Abhi?All this questions were piling up in her mind, she was thinking too much, she had to get out, she needed space, and she needed air. She sat and look at Abhi, his warm eyes looked into hers. He was smiling.
-"Good morning!" – he said.
-"Good morning" – she answered, while avoiding his gaze, looking down, involuntarily at his naked body. She felt a pain in her heart and missed air.
-"Abhi, I can't…I need to be alone…" – she got up and walked towards the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Her eyes filled with tears.
Abhishek didn't quite expect that reaction, he wanted to talk to her, he got up and looked at the bed. He saw the blood stain in the sheets. He imagined how she should be feeling. He couldn't leave her alone like she had asked; they had to clear up things right now.
-"Rani!" – He said while he knocked and opened the bathroom door. He saw her quickly wiping her tears, so he wouldn't see.He grabbed her waist and pushed her close to him. Her naked breasts were touching his chest at the rhythm of her nervous breath.
-"Abhi, please!"
-"I love you Rani! Always have, always will. I want to be with you. I want us to work. Will you give us a chance?
-"And Aish?" – She asked.
-"We didn't have anything serious. I'll end everything with her today!" – he smiled at Rani.
She gave him a big smile and hugged him tightly and they gave a long passionate kiss…

And they lived happily ever after. The end! lol

Portugal ESC 2009

Este post é sobre a música que poderá vir a representar Portugal no Festival Eurovisão da Canção.
Tive imenso tempo para conseguir decidir a música que preferia porque realmente é quase impossível escolher uma música este ano pensando na fantástica representação que tivemos no ano passado com a "Senhora do Mar".

Pelo que tenho percebido, há 2 músicas com algumas hipóteses de ganhar e queria apresentá-las a vocês.

Luciana Abreu - Juntos Vamos Conseguir (Yes We Can)
Acho que é esta a música que vai ganhar, apesar de para mim estar muito longe de ser uma grande música.



Flor de Lis - Todas As Ruas do Amor
Esta é a minha música preferida, acho que é a que tem mais traços da música portuguesa e assim torna-se uma boa música para representar Portugal.



Aqui têm ainda um vídeo com as 12 músicas finais, se estiverem curiosos em relação
a todas as músicas.




Digam o que pensam destas músicas e se têm alguma favorita.

Helen Keller


Helen Keller nasceu em 1868 nos E.U.A. e teve uma história de vida fascinante. Aos dezanove meses de idade adoeceu com o que se pensa ter sido escarlatina ou meningite, que como sequela deixou-a surda e cega. Através da sua professora Anne Sullivan, ela aprendeu a comunicar através de linguagem gestual e a ler e escrever em Braille, não só em inglês, mas também em francês, alemão, grego e latim. Foi a primeira pessoa cega e surda a tirar um curso superior, escreveu 12 livros e chegou a envolver-se inclusivé em política. É um exemplo de vida, de que nada é impossível quando se tem muito apoio e força de vontade, a sua história é absolutamente extraordinária!

Existe um filme que retrata a sua vida, "The Miracle Worker" (1962), a partir da sua autobiografia "The story of my life", e outro "Black" (2005), que não sendo a história da vida de Hellen Keller, é a inspirado na mesma. Ainda só vi o "Black", e posso-vos dizer que o filme é muito bom, mas acho que ambos valerão a pena ver.

Mas mais interessante e bom que seja qualquer filme, a sua biografia é ainda mais extraordinária.
