ON THE WAY TO GROWING UP :)



Life is all about growing up
With lessons easy and tough
A baby I was in my mother’s womb
Now I have grown up n want my own room
I was told that life changes gradually
But does it change actually?
I never left my mother’s side
Now when she looks for me I hide
My love for her has not changed
It is just at a different range
Now I have secrets to share
About a guy tall and fair
I have so many questions in my mind
About  love, life and all kind
Today day life for me is not a play
Its filled with  tests, exams, and what else to say
My aunt said ‘’ you where not this when I last came’’
Is the change in my friends the same?
I have friends who I choose
Whom I know I’ll never lose
Its time for me to explore myself
Than to explore my books in the shelf
I want to see the world with a different view
Which has things both old and new
I always feel ‘’why grow up?’’
Cant I have my milk in the same old cup?
But life has to move on
One has to grow up once born

I'm Grateful For My Disability - Part 2

Image
I am so glad I kept my Yahoo mail active. I usually use it as a backup to send those files/information that I want to delete from my phone and other email accounts. Few minutes ago, I was casually looking at my old emails flooding my inbox and I found an incredibly positive description of my disability.  I don't remember writing this at all. It is very similar to my recent blog post so I decided to call it part 2.  I hope it brings you as much joy as it brought me. July 25, 2020   I'm starting to realize that disability has never been the bad guy in my life. Somehow, it didn't bother me as child, but it won't let me be at peace as an adult. What's changed? Perhaps my expectations of myself  after I understood the real world. When I fail to meet my new expectations and those of others, I feel trapped in an unsolvable chaos. As a kid I  never felt like I'm troubling someone while they took care of me. Now, it bothers me a lot to ask people to do anything more than...

A Special Post On A Special Day

Image
  Today (December 3) is International Day of Persons With Disabilities. Every year, I make it a point to post something in my blog to create awareness. But every year I encounter a question – what new things can I tell the world about my disability? A lack of clarity makes me fear that I may be giving you the same information year after year. We need wheelchair friendly infrastructure in cities, inclusive educational institutions are required and more job opportunities for the disabled are a must. We know this.   All this is about what can be done for me. For a change, I thought I must write about what I can do for myself. Even after the government, doctors, teachers, family, friends and God have done their part, complete benefit is possible only when I start taking care of myself. Saying Yes To Professional Help I used the term professional help because it means different things for people with different kind of disabilities. For some it could be speech therapy and for ...

Don't Wait To Be Inclusive

Image
I'm here today to share a few thoughts about inclusion. It all started with a conversation I had at a party. My friend was very impressed with all my achievements despite Cerebral Palsy. I thanked him and said that none of this would be possible without an extremely supportive family and super-inclusive educators and employers. I've had people who built ramps for me, allowed me to work half a day, work in a fixed day shift and even work from the comfort of my home. As I said this, I was thinking out loud about others like me who are not lucky enough to meet inclusive educators and employers.  Do they all have to lose out on education and employment opportunities just because of their disability? My friend said "It is not that easy. A school, college or an organisation will not create facilities without having people who need them." That's a fair argument. After all, why will any business create a product for which there's no demand?  It makes no sense from a b...
