He looked at me

Everything was good,
Ours eyes met,
I wasn't om the wheelchair,
He winked,
I winked,
He smiled,
I smiled,
And Then he said ' HI',
I was dumb,
How could I talk?,
I know my speech,
Would do everything wrong,
I kept on smiling,
He thought I was dumb,
It wasn't enough,
He asked where are you from~?
I was quite,
I didn't wanted to speak,
I didn't want to reveal,
My speech impairment,
I thought about his thoughts,
Judgements,
Prejudices,
About my disability,
I could have walked away,
But I knew my limping legs,
I knew how strangely I walked,
I made up my mind,
To say a hi,
To that handsome guy,
And everything changed,
For the Better,
I judged myself coldly,
And then,
He replied a 'Hii"..... .

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...
