THERE'S NO DISABILITY IN MY ABILITY


I waved, at my friends,

Who stood there waiting,

They pushed my wheelchair,

And asked where was I for so long?

School friends were reuniting after a year span,

Laughter and jokes were served

On the table,

Everyone else gazed and said

"childhood friends are here again "

Just then,

I saw people staring at my wheelchair,

When I got up to dance on my favorite number,

And when I sang on the mic, my friends

Cracked jokes on me with all their might,

It was after year, months and days we met,

But for them, I was forever their most annoying friend,

I love them because for them I wasn't just a talented girl

On a wheelchair,

I was a girl with just an aid but they understood that I am just

Like them,

I may not able to sing like a nightingale but I can sing from all

My heart,

There can be many dancers in the world but I am dancer in my own

World,

I want people to know me for the things I can do not to things that I

Can't,

I have spoken on various platforms though I don't have a really clear

Speech,

Its all about confidence in your heart and clarity of thoughts then what's

There that can't be achieved?

A graduate and persuading post-graduation wasn't easy when you have many

eyes to judge you!

Through support and perseverance like a lioness, I paved

my way!

I feel bad for Cerebral Palsy that had me!! because I didn't stop

so that, I can have it!!

I am the wind that can't stop, I just take away people I love with me,

because I hate to travel alone!

I exist in my life beyond my disability, disability doesn't restrain me

but rather empowers me

Meri pehchan hai kya

Meri pehchan hai kya, Kisi ki beti kisi ki behen hu me, Meri pehchan hai kya, Ek viklang shareer hu me, Meri pehchan hai kya, Wo kehte hai parai hu me, Meri pehchan hai kya Wo kehte sab par bojh hu me. Me bahut likhti hu, Par wo meri pehchan nhI, Me apne liye sochti hu Par wo meri pehchan nhI, Jo wo kehte h, Wo meri pehchaan bn jaata h, Jo me kehti hu, Wo bas unsunaa sa ho jata h, Meri pehchan hai kya? Koi mujhse ye sawaal krta nhi Meri pehchan hai kya? Mujhe koi viklang kehne se darta nhi, Haan hu me viklang, Par mere sapne apaahiz nahi Haan hu me viklang, Par mere iraade apaahiz nahi, Wo kehte h ki tum aise kyu chalti ho? Wo kehte h ki tum aise kyu bolti ho, Sawaal p saawal h . Jawaab deke thak chuki hu, Jaao baatado inko ki me inke liye jee ke thaak chuki hu, Padhti hu, sochti hu aur likhti hu me, Ab Yahi meri pehchan hai Na aurat hu na viklang hu, Ek lekhakika hu me..... Ab Yahi meri pehchan hai..

The Long Walk

Pulling up myself up the floor, I was 14.. when I learned to walk, Walking without support was a family dream, That I didn't thought could ever come true, I sat there.. wondering how could people walk.. without falling back?, I sat here.. there.. Everywhere because I couldn't walk, I used to believe that walking was a gift .. that God forgot to shower on me, So.. I learned to compensate... Compensate the lack of walking, As walking was an unachievable goal, For someone with 60% disability, To the sense of listening and observing, When a kid first learn to walk.. He wants to discover something new, So did I when you learn to observe, I observed how people treated me, Some with love and some with ignorance, I realize people see me differently, I realize that they don't see my thought process, They just see the physical me, Pulling up myself up the floor, I was 14.. when I learned to walk, I could then just see walls, Walls that I could hold on, To move ...

My passion for dance!!!

Dance, is happiness for me.  when I dance it feels to me as if I am not challenged anymore. Everybody says dance is for a abled body but I have a fully abled mind. A mind that is creative, a mind that will find way out for its passion. I have tried many dance forms from Indian classical to western, but the form that suited me the best is - the contemporary style of dancing. It is a dance that has the power to bring happiness in my life. It was first at AADI, that I had the opportunity of showcasing my talent. I still remember the dance I did, on the song " Radha kaise na jale". I could hear the crowd cheering my name. This day came after a series of practice sessions that we had in the hall, I still remember going to the hall everyday and as the music would start, I would ready in my dancing pose. I also danced on “ Ganan Ganan ghir aye badra”, that was a rain song in which we needed to look towards the sky and call out for rain. I had a lot of fun doing that step. When the...
