oh!he is like me!!!!

amidst lights and music,this group of children,on their wheelchairs and with crutches created magic.they performed the dance drama to the best of their 'abilities'.yes,after witnessing their performance,it dawned upon me that they weren't disabled but were differently abled....their eyes glistened with dreams just like any other child.their dreams were as simple as gaining acceptance amongst us(the supposedly 'normal' people).

they want our love,our empathy.....mind you-empathy and not sympathy.your friend suffering from polio doesn't want you to be with him/her like a shadow,but wants the buildings to be barrier free.another classmate of yours doesn't want you to push his wheel chair everywhere but wants ramps around,where he can help himself.he needs your understanding and not pity.he is different,yet he is the same.

the bridge

i've experienced it once,or may be twice-
i am confused,i am in a turmoil.
we have differences.
even different prefernces-
whether it be friends
or following trends...
we are different-
weren't they adolescents ever,i wonder,
or were they born adults,i ponder.
the thoughts just confuse me futher.....
well...its not a myth(sadly)..this generation gap does exist.
but i guess,with a li'l understanding
and co-operation from both sides,
we can happily co-exist!!!

Act 1-Scene 1-first day in college!!!

Excited-i wasn't....nervous-well,i wasn't.....curious..hmm..may be.So,the day began....i had made arrangemments with a cab for my daily parade to college ;) ....so,there i was waiting for the cab to arrive but to my surprise i waited for an hour,frantically called the driver about 100 times,just to know that the cab driver was waitin for me at some other place.....what a start,i thought.....i reached the college(thankfully!!)just to find unknown faces all over the place....i somehow managed to find some familiar faces and just 10 mins later there i was blabbering my mouth out!!!i made few friends....we then had our orientation,which was pretty good(way beyond my expectation actually!!)....and then i suddenly realised my brain(yes,it does exist!!)beeping-INFORMATION OVERLOAD!!!!there was too much to digest and this place was completely different from school.....but there was 1 similarity,except of studies....-friends...who made each upcoming days so wonderful!!!!!!
