SAHAYAM '09 is a cultural fest organised by the Rotaract Club of Saibaba Colony, Coimbatore for the differently abled children from various schools around the city. Its a one day event which happened on February 14 this year. I was invited for the event by the Convener of Sahayam'09, Vishnu Vardhana. And I owe so much to him for having invited me. I spent only about 3 hours at the venue. And that very little time that i spent there taught me a lot of lessons - lessons that no classroom will teach you, no teacher will teach. It taught me the lesson of LIFE.
I missed a lot of action in the event. By the time i reached there the gro
up dance event was going on. I was only gifted to see a few dances. The sight of the children dancing to the peppy numbers from Tamil movies brough tears to my eyes. Their performance was amazing . I was later told by Vishnu that i missed out on an awesome dance by a few mins. The dance (song "Mukundha Mukundha" from "Dasavatharam") was performed by a group of deaf children who danced in synchrony to the tune with only visual instructions from their teacher.We, normal people are no match to these children and we never will match them.
February 14 th could have been no better. Everyone there realised what the true meaning of love was.
To all those people who missed to attend this event, I must tell you seriously missed out something in your life.
Hats off to the club for organising such an event. The event was a great success. And am sure Vishnu you acheived your objective - "To keep the children happy for one full day". You guys rock!!! Keep up the good work!!!
