I recently took up this course on Learning Disorders Management and Child Psychology. Amidst all the puzzled looks of each of my family members, I somehow mustered courage to say that I am going to put away 7 whole years of accounts and audit background. Just married, settled in a new land, already so many new changes in and around me, this was the biggest I could say. Although I had begun and everything, I had this fear of sharing with everyone about this change and their comments. People who know me would say spontaneously that patience and you are poles apart so why would you want to torment kids, that too with special needs. Further, you cannot make money in this field etc etc. I am currently working with an autistic kid, Lock Hee Jun, 6 years old, non-verbal. My impatience gets clean bowled by his one bright smile at me. His hugs and laughter fills my day. And sometimes teacher-student relationship takes a role reversal. But beyond all this, while singing a famous krithi today in Reethigoulai ragam, Guruvayurappane, in praise of Lord Krishna in Guruvayur, this childs face and all his gestures and pretty smiles filled my mind. The song is in praise of the lord as Bal Krishna instead I could just think of this child all the time. I realized that I saw HIM in this child. This was a whole new experience. Just took me somewhere, for a moment. Do i need a better reason to answer the world for changing of my career path? I owe my life to Youth Empowerment Programme for this change in me. It will always remain the best thing that happened to me in my life. I am striving my level best to put all the knowledge i acquired during the course into practice and will always strive. A million thanks to Madhu anna, Bhargavi akka for being the inspiration to join YEP. Swami Swatmananda and Swami Mitrananda for being there for all of us. Tasmai Sri Gurave Namaha
