The Mute And The Reader [#YourStoryIndia][#Wattys2015]

I would be lying if I say that I'm not desperate to see Aryan today. It's just been nineteen hours since I met him and I can't stop thinking about this boy. Sure, I've heard about people who cannot speak but coming across one is all together a different thing. So much I thought about him last night that I realized that, that was one moment of my life where I used my brain for something other than suppressing the voices in my head. He has intimidated me without doubt. He is not the iconic person with a disability who combats the difficulties of life to come out as victorious. Nor he feels privileged to be physically challenged like in those cliché Bollywood movies. He is the most normal, realistic mute I've come across but still, he managed to intimidate me. And I'm dying to see him, more importantly, to hear the words he cannot speak.

He'sthe first person whose thoughts I'm eager to hear.
