This was a poster at a badminton match held between faculty and students in a medical college to create awareness about children who are differently abled.
Tis poster drew my attention for three reasons. The child in the wheel chair was portrayed as releasing a pigeon, symbolising her wish for wellness and goodness for all people around her. It is a spontaneous gesture revealing the largeness of her heart, although she has many hurdles to come across because insensitivity of others to her special needs.
Secondly her message is a call for change at two levels. She is calling people to live mindfully and altruistically to reach out to others. Secondly, it is to live more gratefully and responsibly in this connected world where what one does affect others.
The third special thing which appealed to me is about this picture was the colour synchronisation the painter used for the picture. While the child and the bird are in black, the background is in radiant colours. I was most fascinated by this- the painter is hopeful of the environment begin able to respond to the message from the child and this is the optimism which is at the centre of his thought.
We live in a society which has the potential to change. It is because of this reason, each of us shall continue to do good! We spread the goodness when we do not get tired by well-doing!
