myself Ratan jha whom society tells physically challanged have also same feeling about the disability. Disability is not any disability rather is an ability to do work in differently. I am presently a well settled govt. executive. Beside this I am special educator to visually impaired children. And i really enjoy to teach any visually impaired children in leisure. May god bless me so that i can never feel any despair.I m really feeling very pleasure to see such an enthusiastic spirit. May GOD make u long life.
"Disability is not any disability rather is an ability to do work in differently."
