Back to Blogging!!!! Wings Rocked!!!!

Havent blogged at all in a while… and a whole lot of reasons that have kept me busy!!! Wings to be exact!!! An event that NisargaIndia conducted for differently-abled people from Bangalore.

Phase 1 of Wings kicked off on 30th August with Parasailing for partially blind, fully blind people and then the second slot happened on saturday, 1st September with deaf, dumb and autistic children participating in the event.

For us (Karthik, Rajendra and I), it was a really special event for this had been in our minds since over a year and finally, we got a chance to execute it and it went on perfect to the “T”.

And for me, I realised how pathetic a life we all live when I interacted with the students from the “National Association of the Blind“. I realised the true meaning of the term “differently-abled”. It’s basically called so because, when you interact with these people, you realise that they’re the actual people that are abled and we’re not!!! It was so amazing and gratifying to see the students enjoy themselves thoroughly when they were given their first open-air flight!!!

And for us, the breathtaking moments were one too many!!! A capture of some of the expressions:

And on other very interesting terms, I completed one year at Sasken counting 307 days on bench, and the rest 58 in a valid project!!! Where I actually did productive work!!! Hoooot!!! Yaaaaay!!!

Chao…

  1. Hey Ashwin,
    Good to see your article on Wings.Congrats to you guys for making this event possible and also making it rock.

    I can say one thing,Parasailing would scare(to some extent) a normal person so I can understand how would differently-abled person would feel.

    This challenge would definitely help them regain their faith in themselves and it would always be fresh in their memory !!!

    All the Best for the Phase-2 of Wings and continue doing this amazing work!!!
