India has Talent

Recently I happened to watch two episodes of a popular Reality TV show "India's Got Talent". All the partcipants were giving their best. Being the semi-final stage, competion was very tough, and inovativeness, creativity and spirit of the participants were obvious. But two performances stood out and made a great impact on my mind. Actually it moved me to tears.The first , was by a group called 'The Prince Dance group". They were from a nondescript town called Berhampur in Orissa. They put up a show of excellent choreography, impeccable movements and fantastic co-ordination. Its not the dance that had an influence on me. It was the spirit displayed by this group of daily wagers, which really moved me. They were a bunch of casual labourers, who were not assured of even two square meals a day. No i do not want to sympathaise with their poverty. Because that is not the intention. By doing so, I would belittle them. They were there, because they wanted to prove a point. Maybe they might have sacrificed a lot to just be there on that stage.Of them two were Polio-stricken and could not walk. Here was a group, who had nothing with them, but their talent and never-say die spirit. Infact none had any kind of formal training and that includes their team leader.The five minutes they performed mesmerized me. I really hope and pray, each one of them in this team does well on the stage called LIFE.The other performance was by the group of kids from Shaimak Davar Accademy. They were not in the competition, but gave a guest performance on the occassion of Independence Day. I must thank Shaimak Davar for bringing out the best possible performance from this group of children. Mind you, it was one of the best you can see anywhere. Shaimak Davar proved to the world, that he is one of the best in business. That he had a kind and benign heart......You would be wondering, what was the speciality of that performance??? It was special for one reason......the group of children were all affected by DOWN's SYNDROME. Normally, kids suffering from this genetic disorder find it difficult to lead a normal life. They cannot co-ordinate simple activities of life. Society shuns such kids, calling them handicapped, crazy and stuff like that. But they are special and can be as talented as any other kid. This was proved by Shaimak. You need to just care for them and believe in them. THANK YOU SHAIMAK DAVAR........thanks for trying to open the eyes of this society. GOD BLESS YOU.
