A different world of 'Ableds'!!

"Silence".........and then...Silence again.....infact for forever..! Yes, it is the only language which is still pure and human. For most of us it has no meaning but in a "Different world of Ableds" it is a language...!! Working with differently-ableds have really taught me a different meaning of silence in last two years...and trust me it is not always as peaceful as it seems. Often, the inquisitiveness of hearing the chirping of sparrows to the school bell creates lot of noise in the minds of differently-ableds. The sheer imagination of the thought of note being able to hear thousands of wanted/ unwanted sounds in my environment or not being able to tell what I feel for the other person makes me feel restless tat I just don't want to be into this state for long. It all started with mere sympathy to the hearing and speech impaired ones and without even a pinch of realization to me it graduated to a state of empathy where 'Silence' had its own words, grammar and punctuations. Having an extra set of worries and challenges, the most admiring thing in this different world is the ability or the greater degree of "ACCEPTANCE" exhibited by all most all ableds, that too after facing many rejections at various levels. With them, I have understood the "Joy of Being" is much more than the long list of things that we do not have. The world has witnessed extraordinary success stories of many differently-ableds from Helen Keller to Sudha Chandran...where the power of determination, patience and endurance has been exhibited to the highest level. However, unfortunately, very little is done by the government at this front considering the population of differently ableds. I read in the diary of of one such ABLED: Use the skills that I have got. Do not focus on what I have not. Of course, I am aware of my limitation. Yet, I am a part of God’s wonderful creation.
