I was a student in a convent—clueless about the world outside. I didn’t realize it was a privilege in those years until I truly stepped out of the convent mentality.
As part of our social project, we were asked to write for some visually impaired students. I thought writing for someone else would be easier than writing in my own exams!
One more thing: the first thing that came to my mind when I heard the word ‘blind’ was a feeling of pity and an image of helpless, sad people. But the impression changed when we entered the school for the visually impaired children. I wasn’t prepared to see animated students of my own age. They were climbing the stairs faster than all of us! They were singing in the isles. They were literally running on the staircases. They were a cheerful lot.
I spent two memorable months with my ‘new’ friends. Some of them are still among my best friends!
I could never appreciate myself and my own talent until I spent time with people who are in many ways completely different than me. It was my Jaago Re! moment.
