Embrace your talent like I did mine! — Vinod Thakur at IIS
The song ‘Chak lein de’ from Akshay Kumar’s Chandni Chowk to China begins with the lines ‘There is no sword or a bullet. You are your own army. Go catch the stars. Go ahead and do it’. The man on stage in his shining purple shirt starts to dance to these tunes. He has no limbs. But he is unfazed and puts a fantastic dance performance. Some of his moves will make every dancer jealous of him.
Like his moves on stage were, so are his words… Powerful. Vinod has been without limbs but has no regrets and accepted what god has given him. At the same time, he has embraced the talent that god has given him and has been inspiring people to become strong willed and pursue their individual talent. Vinod himself has started a dance school to foster the dancing talents of specially abled kids and cajoles each one in the audience to act. According to him, Disability is just a perspective and all of us need to change it. If a disabled kid is taught to believe in his special abilities and given a caring environment like any other, she/he will come out as an extraordinary talented human being. As much as we get inspired by his dance we are moved to act by his words too.
