Yesterday, I attended a dance program as a part of the Faculty Development Program in the ICFAI campus. Appa was the coordinator for the whole show, so basically went to hog good food!! But what I saw caused non-stop crying for a good 2 mins..

The Bharathnatyam dance was conducted by students of the Ramana Maharshi Academy for the blind. There were totally 7 students, all visually impaired, but the perfection they exhibited in their dance made me feel it was me who was impaired!!

The confidence was amazing, the synchronization perfect. All the steps and movements were amazingly coordinated and showed their seriousness in the performance!!

The students have given their "Arangetram" and the main dancer of them is the first visually challenged student to have finished his senior exam in dancing.

The dance lasted for around 2 hours. At the end of it, we all gave a standing ovation. There wasnt a single soul in the entire auditorium who wasnt moved or who wasnt secretly wiping tears!!

I think it is we who are the impaired people. We are blessed with all the perfect senses and hence fail to make use of them!!

God bless all of them!!
