2008 MANY STORIES ONE VOICE ONLINE COLLECTION
Chandan Das
I am a 19 year old boy with CP
(Spastic Athetoid). I try to
communicate with others, verbally but use my communication board if they do
not understand me. I love writing stories and poems. At home my mother
writes for me and at the Centre, my teachers. I thought about the theme of
this story at home. At the Centre I used my alphabet board and my teachers
wrote it for me.
Bhola’s Life
Even if Bhola’s family is small it has its share of
joys and sorrows just like any other family. Bhola is an 18 year old boy,
staying with his parents in a small hut. During the monsoons, water entered
their house. There was no fan or light in their house. In the evening he
studied by the light of a candle.
Despite so much pain and so much
sorrow his life did not stop. He went on the path of light from that of
darkness. One day Bhola’s father died. His mother was blind. Suddenly Bhola had to carry family responsibilities on his unformed shoulders. All of a sudden he met a man named Raja. He was a very good man. Hearing Bhola’s sad life story his heart also ached. Raja asked Bhola, “Will you work with me?” Hearing this Bhola was taken aback. “I am not very educated. Will I be able to do the work?” “You do not need
to be very educated for this job. It is a work in a shop in Kolkata. In
Kolkata you could continue your studies too alongside your job,” replied
Raja. Bhola now works
and also studies. With his first pay he took his blind mother to an eye
specialist. Bhola’s mother is a lot better now. Bhola’s happiness too knows
no limit. Now Bhola wants
to do something for the orphans. Let me tell you
whether Bhola could achieve his dreams or not in the next story.
