THE DOCTOR’s diary: Dear diary, Today is a most horrible day in my life. What an unexpected and unforgettable moment it is! I was simply awestruck when the snake that entered my room landed on my shoulder and wound itself around my left arm. I was simply speechless and hapless at that moment. I could hardly make even the slightest movement in the chair as the snake’s hood was very closer to my face. Luckily for me, the snake crawled on to the table and started looking at its image in the mirror. By the grace of God, I could have a narrow escape from the deadly snake. Chill still runs down my spine even after hurrying to Vasu’s house. I owe a lot to Vasu for dispelling my fear of the snake and giving me shelter for tonight. Its better to vacate that room so that I can be safe from the snake. Thank you God for saving me from the clutches of Death today.

What a positive attitude Mr. Morris, the disabled man in the article has developed! He overcame his disability with his dedication, determination and discipline. The news has made me realise that God has created differently-abled persons like me to face the challenges in life and to give hope and courage to others. These days, I have been thinking of committing a suicide. Now, with the kind of confidence and courage the article has given me, I will never make a suicide attempt. I will try my best to use my life for the good of handicaps. Thank God for showing me the right way to go ahead in life.
