If you will click on the title it will take you to a rediff news article about a guy called Siddarth. Siddarth has crebral palsy. He is 24. Oh and he also has a degree in economics with distinction. A person suffering from cerebral palsy has his motor coordination affected and his control over his muscles is lessened. But the mind remains normal, and in Siddharth's case exceptionally brilliant. This is akin to being imprisoned. Think about it, living with a disability, all the misconceptions, the biases, the judgements, the stares, all the while having a fine mind tick inside you.
I crib and complain about life and then once in a while I come across something like this, someone like Siddarth, and I am silenced. Kudos to him, and his parents.
In this sewltering mass of humanity, among the idiots, and the masses of the faithless, people like Siddarth go a long way towards setting right a skewed balance. They inspire, and remind me that things like hope do exist in real life.
