The cool breeze keeps brushing my face as I walk through the
empty lane. As I hear one of rahman’s
beautiful composition, I look at the dark sky , twinkling with star and the moon
emerging between the tree branches now and then. Thoughts fly through my mind
as I go back to relive the moments and look back for what I have realized in the
lesson of life.
Sometimes you close your eyes to feel the deepest emotion,
to realize how beautiful a composition is, to cherish those moments in the past
and much more. But if you are asked to close your eyes and live the rest of the
life, I wonder how hard it will be! You
will never know how blessed you are until you encounter a situation that will
make you realize it. I experienced it today and hence this post. It was a
different day altogether, a different experience altogether. I had been to the National Association for the
Blind with a team of volunteers from my company. The events that followed were
really amazing and I realized how much I had been ignorant about people who are
differently abled.
I came to know how people overcome their differences from
others and emerge successful. Though they cannot see this beautiful world that
we can, their world is beautiful in their own way. Except that they cannot see
the world, they really live every moment utilizing their other senses to the
maximum extent.
I never knew until today that there was even a training center for differently abled people which train them on various grounds. When
one kind of training is targeted at making the educated lot among those people
more equipped at what they are capable of and help them work at various places
like the sighted society, the other kind of training is targeted at those who
are from a rural background in equipping them with various small scale
industrial activities.
The information that they get trained in computer courses
and get placed in IT field was really new to me. In all, every single minute
that I spent today, was worth the time.
On a finishing note,
“There is no lovelier way to thank God for what you have
than to help the people in dark”
A verse that I read. A verse that few people live. A verse I
would like to make a part of my life.
