Hi Friends!
A desperate Sunday eve...
My friend’s birthday party was cancelled. He called and dragged me to nearby sports Stadium. With my headphones on, I sat among the crowd with no interest.
It was a 100m dash.
Ready!!!
Steady!!!
Bang!!!
With the sound of pistol all started to race. They hardly would have covered 10m.
A boy was crushed in the hands of faith. He slipped and fell in a loud booming voice. I shouted “Oh No” he started crying due to pain. All the other heard him and stopped the race and stood for a while, then turned back and ran towards him.
They lifted him up, pacified him, joined hands and walked all together to finish the race.
The entire stadium was shocked and most of them run into tears. I was pathetically under confusion. My friend then explained to me that the race was conducted by National Institute of Mental Health and all the participants were mentally challenged.
My lacrimals reacted at that vary instant.
A deficit in their mental ability has branded them as retarded, but they had not been retarded in the abilities of Team work, Humanity, Sportsman spirit, Love, Care and Equality.
At the vary instant, I thought we surely can never do this because, we have brains, we have attitude as well.
