A few weeks ago NIMH (National Institute of mentally Handicapped,Hyderabad) had conducted a sports meet for all the Physically & mentally handicapped children at National Stadium Hyderabad.

In one race.., Nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, butwith a relish to run the race to the finish and win. All,
that is, except one little boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times,
and began to cry.

The other eight heard the boy cry. They slowed down and looked back. Then they all
turned around and went back......every one of them. One girl with Down's Syndrome
bent down and kissed him and said, "This will make it better." Then all nine linked arms
and walked together to the finish line. Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for several minutes.

People who were there are still telling the story. Why?? Because deep down we know this
one thing: What matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What matters in this life is helping others win, even if it means slowing down and changing our course.

"A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle"

Let's join hands to make jat community grow and prosper.

Vijay Bhai,
I was really moved by this incident....my only wish is that one day, us Jats can learn a lesson from these under priviledged kids,and be as helping to one another as them.

Together we stand Tall !!
