...Where Handicaps Strengthen The Resolve...

Gurgaon: If on the one hand, there are helpless people like the bride Seema who was recently burnt alive by her in-laws, there are others who, despite handicaps, forge ahead doggedly, with a determination that can only be admired....

One such person is Gaurav Chaudhary, studying to be a  fashion designer. Gaurav is hearing and speech impaired, but that has never dimmed his ambition to be a fashion designer of repute. Its simple, he does not feel he is less than any other person or that he has a disability.

His parents say that he was fond of watching fashion shows on television when he was a boy. One day, he spoke (in writing) of his wish to be a fashion designer to his parents. Always encouraging, his parents saw to it that he got admission in an Institute in Gurgaon, where he is now pursuing a one-year course.

It is indeed true that a strong-willed mind can take you places.... way to go, Gaurav!

Here's wishing you luck for greater successes in life...
