A 'different' ly abled person!

Sometimes, you meet certain people you can never forget in your life. Had an opportunity to meet a wonderful person. He was 33-year-old. Attacked by cerebral palsy, he uses the wheel-chair for his movements. Yet, the achievements of this man is the one that every man, who desires to succeed in life should learn and inculcate. He is Mr Paresh Palicha. "Sorry, I cannot speak clearly. Hope you don't mind," he spoke in an excellent English. This man a famous movie critic and a successful journalist raised his legs in ecstasy when I asked about him about his acting in the Malayalam movie "Black." Mr Palicha belongs to Gujarat but, has settled in Kochi for many generations. "I thought that everybody thinks me as an animal but, now I have the confidence to face the world," he said. Interested in literature, he spoke a lot about movies and books. Disability is not a hindrance he said. Working for Tata Tetley company, he keeps himself busy by reading, writing articles and surfing the net. "Betti, he even forgets to have his food," said his mother. Felt happy when he said "You are a good friend."
