All my shishyas at Prerana probably had too much fun last saturday at the painting competition i had organised in co-ordination with the IEEE Student branch of our college..their 'good-morning akka' since then has got a li'l too loud and their smiles broader too!
They had drawn what all kids usually draw - houses with windows and no doors,fans that are visible even from the outer wall,pots with flowers,blue,pink and yellow hills shown in perfect triangles..

...the sun bordered black,cartoons,trees and innumerous birds covering the whole sky,Indian flag colored with colors of their choice,streams starting nowhere and ending right in front of the houses..fish,kites,butterflies..and all..
Madhu had drawn all this too..
His painting was not so neat..one can find it almost too shabby..
But he had a story to tell- His own.
He gestured that the boy waiting for the car in the painting was him and it would take him home - his home which has a tree, a pot and a rain water ditch..hills, a sky with a lot of birds and a sun.
Maybe he misses his parents though he has spent very li'l of his 8 years with them..
P.S -
1. Many said that this whole idea of the painting competition was a "Taare Zamin Par idea".I think i'd have come up with the same idea even if there was no TZP. Well,whatever..But, now please don't start comparing madhu with ishan awasthi :)
2. Many asked what those who couldn't color did..the singing competition was for them all.
3. Thanks to all my juniors who helped in organising things well - specially to vijith,maya,rajath,pradhan and vivek.
4. Madhu won in the 5-10yr category.There were neater paintings than madhu's,but none with a story like his..

Very nice post. I am glad to know that Prerana is taking an initiative to create such a lovely environment for the kids. I hope in a few years time I can join in and help too!Do they have a website btw?
And yea...It is annoying when people equate everything to TZP,like disabilties did not exist before Amir Khan told us about it.
Anyways, continue with your good work and keep sharing stories of the kids at prerana.
@kusublakki
Haha! Website!?Prerana is just a small local boarding place for disabled kids..with a management that's less political and less corrupt[making the environment almost lovely but not entirely though]
Anyway volunteers are always welcome to better things.Join in..prerana here or in a place where u stay or anywhere.. :)
Copy from one, it's plagiarism; copy from two, it's research.
@ uknowwho
All i know is that in VTU,
copy from one=>two debarred
copy from two=>three debarred
And those two and three are the unluckiest.
[I know,i know..i'm making no sense these days..]
