Unknown talents!!!





                                                 
                                                     Raj and his friends were shopping at Mall Road in Shimla. The ambience was cool and calm, Raj was busy clicking photographs of the scenic beauty. Doing so, he suddenly saw a beggar sitting on the edge of the road, and a small girl was holding a board beside him. When he came close, Raj read the written words on the board. 'My father cannot see....please donate some rupees.'  Raj looked at the girl's father who was not that old, maybe in his mid 30's and was busy listening to the radio. There was a smile on his face as he was listening to music and he was tapping his feet gently. The small girl smiled at Raj and said, "Can you give us some rupees?"  Raj did not reply anything and he called his friends. He told his friends to surround him and he was whispering something. The girl was confused and dejected, she sat beside her father. One of Raj's friends turned on his MP3 and an old Hindi song started playing in it. All his friends started dancing in a circle and Raj requested the blind man to dance with him. At the beginning he was a bit scared, but Raj somehow convinced him. He took his hand and encouraged him to dance. The blind man slowly started dancing and in no time, he was dancing in full swing with the entire gang. Raj and his friends started doing the signature step and the blind man started doing it too, although he was blind! Till then, many people had gathered around to enjoy their performance and Raj took the bowl from that girl's hand and started collecting money. After the dance was over, he gave the bowl to the blind man and said, "Congratulations! You have collected 50 rupees! Isn't that a big success for you?"
The blind man took Raj's hand and thanked him. He said, "It's all because of you son. Thank you very much."
"You are wrong. The credit should go to you. Though you are blind, you have got a very good talent in you and that is dancing! I realized this when I saw you listening to the radio and you were tapping your feet. Uncle, please use your talent. You can reach greater heights in future. This talent is definitely going to help you in life."
The blind man hugged Raj and kissed his forehead. "You are an angel in my life. I am never going to forget you."

Everyone is special on this earth. Whatever the circumstances are, a person should know to identify his inborn talents and work on it. This can help you to make your life more simple and beautiful. Never lose hope and be confident of yourself.
