“My parents form a separate chapter in my life. If my sister and I are the two pillars partly keeping our family up, my mom and dad were the other two who completed it. They tackled so well with their own problems and dealing with their children. Even when let down by their own family, siblings, and society, they made the choice to stick with us. We do not know how and when they got through their problems but all we can see is sheer energy in them. We do not worry much about them. Most people like me have parents who are over worried about their kids. But I’d ask them to simply support them. They’re normal as any other kid. So do not judge their abilities without letting them be themselves. This goes well with anyone else too. We see someone and we judge mostly based on their first appearance. It is high time we become considerate. Be it a girl or a boy, there will always be someone better than us in every aspect. How often do we try to improve ourselves everyday first? Before we point fingers, we must know where we stand.”
