There is no point to blame either parents or gods for what
we are since it is granted by our own karma (The Law of Life). In the first
case it is not our wish to become and on other hand it might not be the
almighty’s wish to punish us with limited eyesight.
We are also part of
mankind in this very existence with same thought for the possibilities. Only an
extraordinary man realized what we feel and what we expect from others. We feel
totally exhausted and enervated, when somebody blames us with countless discourteous
words like “He is disabled”. We feel naturally down and the flock of our
friends are unnecessarily dragged into the deeper darkness of the unhappiness
where there is no adjective to describe it. At the end of the day, when I go to
sleep I often wonder why the people of the world treat us as thoughtless,
speechless and senseless when we are as capable as others.
But we are very lucky to have innumerable people who have
possessed great sympathy upon us. We have been able to stand on this
sophisticated world with their noble support starting from the royal families
and his majesty the great king.
The memory of my visually impaired friends evokes and
flashes in my memory page vividly and involuntarily. My life in Khaling, is the
most fantastic days I could have ever experienced and the same things will not
be granted by god henceforth. The days were always full of sirens of laughter
from every four corners of the room.
Sometimes we bumped, clashed and stumble. These things happen habitually
therefore we are accustomed for clashing each other. It had become botherless
things in the eyes of visually impaired friend’s to get irritated when we
collide with each other.
Everyman is born with its talent, this very line I wouldn’t
have realized if I was not enrolled in NIVI (National Institute for the
Visually Impaired) in Khaling. Indeed a
man is born with intact talents for the purpose of living. These goes well with
our Dzongkha proverb. “Key lug rey la zaa lug rey”. We were five in total in class in 2009 when I
joined the school. In the field of music to my surprise my fellow friends who
were completely blind could catch up more easily than me. And today my friends have
started playing guitar and yangchen so well. They are known for their songs in
Bhutan.
I was so lucky that I could help my friends out there who
were totally blind. I got opportunity to guide them and teach them as well at
times. I lived among this young faces that had lost the sight of beauty of the
world but no wonder they roll on the tunes of their life as we do.
To almighty the god, I pray thee; let every man born be
gifted with eyesight to taste the sight of wonders of the beautiful world.
Every day I thank you for my gifted eye sight. Please bless me with the same
till the end of the journey of my life.
