Hi

Welcome to my Den! This is where I try to hide at times; be expressive at some other times; be ruthlessly frank at different times and so on.....

I had the habit of writing diaries and thought I would use blog instead. But hey.....I still have to be careful while blogging in a public forum Ok...am trying hard on that!!!

Read on; Post your comments; Good to express, best to share! So support me to give my best !!!

Cheers

Who is.....?

You struggle to wade through darkness
even when there is no power for a while
I don't though I do not have the vision like you!

You struggle to walk with a limp
even if it is only a thorn prick
I don't though I do not have two legs like you!

You struggle to do things with a single hand
though the fracture is small
I don't though I do not have two hands like you!

You struggle to hear
with a small water clogging in your ear
I don't though I cannot hear like you!

You struggle to talk
even if it's only mouth ulcer
I don't though I cannot talk like you!

You struggle even for such small things in life.
I don't for I have learnt to live my life with What I have!!!

Now tell me,
My Friend, my fellow Human Being
"Who is Handicapped?"

Jenz,
Rightly pointed out...who is handicapped...
we know the value only if that portion has been affected..and we do suffer those times...
If we remember those challenged people....

Hi Jenz

That was a very wonderful piece! I liked the way you have mocked at the people with all good faculties yet making a mountain-out-of-a-molehill....

As usual, your last lines are very powerful....

Cheers!

Dear Jenz,

Thanks to Vase who nominated this poem for the FP of the month, I got to read it and am moved.

It is a poignant poem, written with heart and mind. Simply loved it.

You must have a very kind heart and a thoughtful mind.

Who is..?

My dear jenz,
How beautifully you have captured the heart's murmur of a handicpped person!.Yes,inspite of all that God has bestowed on us,we keep complaining even at a small inconvenience.What ruckus one creates when one has an ear infection or a red eye due to some infection or other?
These special people have learnt to do without many gifts that we take for granted.
love
