Recent months have been spent in quiet contemplation of life.
Due to my knee injury and subsequent immobilization of my left leg I was forced to use crutches to get about for approximately 2 months. Spending all that time in the house, not being able to move around normally got me thinking about people with permanent disabilities.

It showed me life from their point of view. I realised how difficult even small things can become and how easily we take a normal lifestyle for granted. Taking a bath means planing each move like a chess game, climbing stairs feels like climbing Mt. Everest.
In the end, I also realised that it is about what you think more than what you can do. Your actions are limited only by your thoughts. If you think you cannot do something, then most probably you will never be able to do it!
Then the other day I was listening to a program on Meow FM (104.8 FM - Delhi) and the presenter (Manisha) was talking about sensitising children towards people with disabilities. One of the callers happened to remark that 'everyone is disabled, no one is complete, no one has everything'. This made me feel really happy for some reason.
This basic fact made me realise that we should always keep pushing ourselves to achieve new things in life. Somewhere inside we all have disabilities to deal with. How well we can over-come them, that depends on us!
