Letter From Sushil..!







Hey All.. Hi..!
How are you..? Hope you doing great. So am I. Let me introduce myself, I am Sushil.. Sushil Kadam(James bond style. He! He!). I am staying at a small village in Konkan. A very beautiful area in Maharashtra which has got some of the finest strokes from Natures paint brush. Actually I am studying..In 1st Std., but that doesn’t matter, someone wisely said “What’s in a Standard...?” (Don’t waste your time searching for who said it.)
I have ma exams coming soon, so I am very busy these days. Ma teachers and parents expects a lot from me.( Anyways what do they do apart from this..?He! He!). Apart from exams I have to practice for ma upcoming stage show in the month of May. Yah Right! I do perform in an orchestra too. Seriously we new generation kids have so much to do na..? But still I managed to spare time to talk to you, because its very important. Though I am too busy to talk, am writing this letter to all of you. (Ssshhh... Ashatai and Sengupta Ma’am doesn’t know that I am talking to you. As they think that I am the most naughty kid on earth, they spend most of their time watching on me only..) Oh!! I forgot, Ashatai and Sengupta Ma’am are my parents cum teacher cum friends cum guardians. I do stay with them only in their boarding school.
We are near about 30 students here. We all learn in class 1st to 7th. We have got really nice teachers they teach us all subjects very nicely. And thank god we don’t need to go to any extra tuitions(I heard kids in cities spends more time in tuitions than school) We spend more time in other activities which are real fun. And of course on Play ground. Apart from Class rooms we have one music room here. Where we learn to play instruments and sing interesting songs. We have our own orchestra, my seniors play Tabala, Dholak, Harmonium etc. And we can sing several beautiful songs. My senior Manish and Sagar plays amazing Tabala, Dholak and Kongo too. Sonam & Ishika sings folk songs at their best. We have done a show once and got a Houseful event. My friend sings folk song and plays Dholak at same time great sync. And Me.. I am yet a hidden diamond in them(Actually my seniors don’t know ma potentials yet. "Ek din ye sab mera autograph mangenge.." I can bet on this).
We are achievers in sports also. Recently we have won two awards in a Cricket tournament held at Yavatamal. My senior Sagar(class 7 that Tabala and Kongo player) got two catches. We were screaming in happiness as he did it on such a big ground.(And this varun bhaiya can’t even chase the ball in our small play ground also..He!He!He!!) And these days we are learning computer. Its fun. Some times I wonder is it a machine or a Magic.. (Actually they don’t allow me to touch it, its only for ‘Big Kids’) Told you naa they don’t know ma potential yet.
So..What you say..? Our life is full of fun hah..? Its true. We are lucky that we are learning so many things together. Soon there will be a workshop in our school, where they ll teach us to make paper bags, candles, essence sticks etc. I am eager to learn it. Then there will be something which I have created at ma own.
Now you must be thinking that why I am telling you all this. Right..? These are all ordinary things which million kids in this world do. Actually I forgot to tell you our school name.. Its ‘Snehajyoti Andha Vidyalaya.’ Yah right! I am Blind.
‘Being ordinary is an extraordinary thing for us..’
But believe me it really doesn’t matters for me much. Because I can run, sing, learn, listen to music, play cricket and do so many other things. Only problem is I can’t see. Only colour I know is Black. We are all complete or partially blind kids here. But you know what, we can do every other thing that a normal friend of ours can do. We learn all school subjects. We read so many books(of course in Brail). Yah! we can’t do drawing but our music compensates this thing.
I heard, that so many kids like me stands on signal and beg in cities. Have you ever gave a rupee to a blind child on signal..? You must have given it cause I know you are all very kind at heart. But have you ever thought that those kids can be successful in their lives same as you all ..? They can achieve so many awards for their parents ..? They can read even faster than you..? That they can perform in a stage show..? If you don’t believe this then you must visit us once. Our all teachers are blind. Still our music teacher is ‘Sangeet Visharad’ and he is doing his MA(Its a higher education "mujhe abhi wo karane me time he."). Our teacher Bhandare sir can operate computer. He types letters and can mail it too. Ishika studying in class two have got award for reading fast. List is long. See it to believe it.
I believe in God. But I have never seen his any Idol(How can I..?) So, anybody like you helps us to be ordinary is God for me. For us. Yes you can be a God. When they started this school Ashatai’s age was 60yrs. Now at 68 also she and Sengupta Ma’am works 12 hours a day for us. They became our God. That god in a sky gave us a birth but these gods on earth are making us survive. Many of us have learnt a lot from them and still we are learning. They love us more than our mummy papa. Sorry to ask..But..What is your age..? more than 68..? Do you think that just giving a rupee can end your responsibility towards your younger brothers n sisters..?
No-No I am not asking you for money. Never. I just want you to think for sometime. I think sometimes you become so busy earning and achieving that you just forget us. Think.. How can you help all of us..? How can you make our life more comfortable. How and what can we learn more..? All I am asking is for few minutes from your busy schedule. We are eager to learn from you..Are you eager to teach us..? Think on it.
Chalo-Chalo.. Have to rush. Told you naa.. I am very busy yaa. Remember, next time if you light a candle during electricity cut off then just think that I don’t have that option too.
Okay then.. going for now Will catch you soon. Love you all.. Happy Holi. Have a colourful life and don’t forget to give us few colours too, as we don’t know any.
Oye.. if you want to meet me anytime you can take ma appointment from Varun Bhaiya.
Bye then..Waiting for you. Thanks for reading. And I am free in summer holidays and will love if get few friends to play with.
Love!!!
Sushil.
*****************************************************
Hi all..!
Its Varun here. As you can understand Sushil can’t write anything(But with ur wishes soon he will start typing) so, he narrated this letter to me and I wrote it for you.
Actually today I just wanted to wish you all for Holi but then I thought lets share this Holi with them who doesn’t know any colour. All they can see is Darkness. Aashatai Kamat and Senagupta Ma’am with few more people have given everything to bring light in these beautiful but darkened lives.
It is an amazing world here. These kids feels your heart with core happiness. We can even get motivated by them. When we neglect beautiful colours of life in silly tensions these kids shows us how to be colourful and enlighten with a complete darkness. We are very lucky to be normal.
This Holi lets learn this from Sushil that colours are made in heart. You can be colourful though you are in a bit darker part of life. Have a Happy Holi.. enjoy colours and promise to bring them in these tiny lives as well.
Thanks for reading.
And yes, Sushil has given a message that he is soon coming on Facebook & Orkut. And he knows that you are eager to be his friends.

Once Again.. Wish you all a Happy Holi...!!!!!
Love you all..
Dreaming for truly colorful India,
Always yours,
Varun.

Remote..!


Last Night..
Me & Ma sister were watching TV..As usual she wanted to see a daily soap on other channel..And she snatched remote control from me..I snatched it back n it was going on.. Meanwhile ma Dad interrupted in us.. "Oh God.. Some day people will kill each other for this Remote Control..Actually its controlling their lives now.."
We totally ignored him and carried on..Till ma eyes got stuck on a screen.It was a News Flash on CNN... 'Pune Blast was Triggered by a Remote Control....'
And something struck ma mind.. as ma Dad said,Instead of People killing each other FOR Remote..They are killing BY remote...I got numb.
Ma sister changed the channel and she got busy in 'Nach Baliye'.
But thoughts gathered in ma mind.How can anybody threaten up a whole nation by simply pushing a single button..?And still knowing this also 99% citizen of this nation don't hesitate to push the button of their remote and change the channel.They prefer watching Dances saying, "its of no use watching the same news again n again..Roz Ka Ho Gaya He.." When we become so cold blooded to watch a bollywood dance when few people are doing 'Terror Dance' in a whole nation ? We became cold blooded or anybody steal our emotions from us..?
The night when this blast took place one ma friends said this.."Mumbai me thik hai re..Pune me kaise ho gaya..?" I got very irritated.Why "Mumbai me thik hai..?"
Are Mumbai people Different from us? Do they walk on road to kill themselves?Aren't they Human..? Why Mumbai also..?
Can we just imagine we going out of houses for office and suddenly our dead body comes to our family..? We just can't think of it also.That friend of mine is very emotional still at 26yrs he cries some times.It means he is not Emotionless.Then how come he said that "Mumbai me thik he..?" He haven't said anything wrong.Because we are made habitual to these blasts now. Our minds got Frozen now.And I think we want to keep them Frozen..thats why we just melt candles after every bomb blast.Our heart doesn't melts.
Who gave this right to these people that they just push a button and our whole world gets shattered..? We lose our beloved one. Actually, we gave them this right. By being so rock hearted. What those politicians are doing there whom we have elected.? They have made us say"We don't want development..Just save our Lives."
They just declare compensation to victims and they think they are done with their responsibilities. Can anyone compensate a family who lost their to-be engineer son in just 5 or 10 lacs..? Can they compensate a 27yrs old widow..? What can compensate these losses..?
We too think that surfing news channels for two days n feeling sorry for victims makes us a responsible citizen of India.That participating in condolence meeting and candle march is all we can do.That we are not responsible for all this.And all this we think and do because we never think that this can happen to us also someday or rather this very moment.Because we can never experience the bitter reality of all this.Because we are too busy earning and enjoying that we never think of protect it forever.
Death is acceptable but not this weird face of it.Someone kills us in a moment when we are celebrating our first wedding anniversary our while we talking to a friend whom we mate after few years.
Screaming through newspaper articles and blogs is of no use unless we unite and think on it as our personal issue.No one can enter your house and blow it, if you are in.Only chance is if you are sleeping. And thats the reason some of us are getting blown up..Dying. We are just dreaming of becoming a superpower but not ready to awake and face the reality.
We must wake up now.World knows that nothing happened in US after 9/11.And we found another bomb in just a few days after Pune, In Surat. We can't make it change by merely lighting candles..We must enlighten our minds now.Or else we will keep lighting candles and terrorists will burn out this whole lovely nation.
It is been a week to Pune blast..I used to go to German bakery with ma friends..I miss that German bakery, which wont be same anymore. Now its not the destination to celebrate Life..But a place to remember a Death.. A death of peaceful Pune..A death of our democracy..A death of 12 happy people.
Its been a week to this incident and still we couldn't find the threats behind it. Now we must enlighten our minds and brighten up which are already enlightened.
Ma Dad said remote is controlling our lives..But now its actually controlling our Death..!
So..
The next time if you try to push a button and run away from this news to a 'Daily Soap'..Think that someone is killing us the same way..
'Just by Pushing a Button..'

Dreaming for Peaceful India,
Always Yours,
VARUN.

Hi all..
Thanx for coming here..
I and all of us heard it several times tat we see the world in a colour of which we are wearing glasses of.
Wear black.. world looks Black..wear red and world looks tat way(and even you can see Mr.India if he s around). So.. Varuns way is the colour of ma glasses. Where you ll watch the things around with my view(or colour).
I am not a celebrity nor a big philosopher. But just a very very ordinary man. So question is why you gonna follow my glasses..? Answer is simple to get a different view than you or to see the worst way of thinking or the best way.. after all things are the way you look @ them.
Once I heard it some where.. How we can see this world..? The things around us..? Common answer is ‘Through Eyes..’ But what if we get into a dark room..? at midnight.. keep ur eyes open and still u cant see anything. Then turn the lights on.. Everything is visible.. So the ultimate answer is ‘Through Light..’
We all have got same eyes but our vision is different. All we can see depends on light we have and amount of this light defines our vision. All we need to do is Enlighten our self.
And we can do this by sharing this light wit each other. Sometimes we read a great biography and we get a part of highly enlighten human beings on earth. But what if we can share this light among all of us. Let me share a bit of mine. And m sure tat u will also give me ur light..Your Vision..
World is strange so are we.. A wind enlightens bonfire and wind turns off small burning Lamp. Wind is same its roll is different. I hope you all will take my thoughts wit positive approach..
