National Awards for the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, 2011 = CONGRATS TO RECIPIENTS = WISH THEM ALL GLORY


GOD PROPOSES
MAN DISPOSES
National Awards for the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, 2011

What is common for Beethovan, Hellen Keller, Stephen Hawking, President Roosevelt, and Sudha Chandran?
Most readers know. All these are physically challenged persons. Beethovan was deaf but went on to become the most famous composer of music during his times and remains so in our hearts even today.
Helen Keller was herself blind, deaf and mute – but devoted her life for persons with disabilities.
Stephen Hawking is a physicist cum mathematician who has Lou Gehrigs Disease and lives on a wheelchair. He needs a computer to speak. But, he has written some of the most fantastic science works.
President Roosevelt had legs paralyzed by Polio at age 39 – but became Governor of New York and later US President for a record four times.
What can you do with an amputated leg? You can dance  beautifully – by putting on a specially made Jaipur Foot. That is the brave Sudha Chandran from India.
These people have proved that it is not always that man proposes and God disposes. In respect of the courageous - God proposes but man disposes in an altogether, unpredictable direction – with glory crowning their heads.
We can see that God is really quite happy with their achievements. God encourages them and eggs them to do more, achieve more – and show that God is on the side of the brave and the hard working – not on the side of the lazy and the frightened.
It is in this context that one has to view the annual awards given to the disadvantaged and disabled persons on 3rd, December,2011, at the function organized by the Indian Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment (Disability Division). There are obviously many others who may be just as deserving – but have not come to public notice. I salute all these brave persons – and draw  inspiration from them – for the rest of my life.
