AzAAdIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII



'Inquilab Zindabad!' (Long live revolution)... An intense, passionate voice ... of young patriot Bhagat Singh. Since my school days I am inclined towards the extremists' struggle for Independence rather than the moderates. Thus like them I take the problems professionally or personally their way- Head on! Today is India's Independence day am writing about the the change which is going to catch up soon. Am a proud Indian and am satisfied with my current job more than anyone else. What I experienced today is something revolutionary? Something I have never felt before! People always crib about something or the other but today when two not so privileged sections met for the first time- the life long bond seemed to form!!!! Such ideas give birth to the fact that we all should be thankful for this life, for we can make a difference to someone's life.



For past couple of months I have been working for improving employment opportunities of hearing and speech impaired. The more time I spend with these students more determined I am to work towards the cause. Today was a prelude to the Independence Day, a day wherein I wanted the students to celebrate 'Freedom' and cherish it the most.

So around 11 of these differently able students along with me went to 3 study centers of under privileged kids between 2 to 5 years. The environment was ecstatic, the way they met each other was not meant to be heard or spoken about but only meant to be applauded and seen! The kids loved them and held their hands tightly. The Balwadi kids performed for the special kids with all their heart and soul ( the most heart felt thing was the NGO kids understood everything without me using Sign language for them). The environment was so enthusiastic that inspite of the rains, rough weather, muddy fields, broken roads, etc.the spirit was not dampen. You could never say if the two were meeting for the first time.

While leaving, the NGO Students gifted colors, paint books, nick nacks, stationary, etc. to the underprivileged kids. It was truly a perfect crescendo to the an event which was responded well by all the participants and the organizers.

What triggered this post is the fact I am still getting texts from my students about how good they felt about this whole event!!!!!


** In the past 4 years this is the best Independence day celebrations I have had!!! Its going to linger on for long time in my memories. Thought of sharing it with you :D
