I was born in an unstable financial background family. My father used to stitch clothes and my mother was a housewife. The day I was born was 29/11/1994. They were very happy as a boy child had arrived in the small family. But the happiness didn’t last for long as after 7 to 8 months I was not moving on my own nor my parents were noticing healthy baby signs in me.
And then they took me to the local doctor where he just demotivated and demoralized my family saying that this kid is affected by Cerebral Palsy and hence, he can’t do anything in his future years as I was diagnosed and having a problem in speech and also having a heavy number in eyes. My parents were shocked and tensed at that moment but soon after when they went for a Second opinion the Dr asked my parents to take me to the neurologist and the neurologist sent me to the Physiotherapist and my treatment started.
As I was 3 years old it was time for me to join school but no normal school was ready to give me admission in their school, many people asked my dad to take me to a special school but my dad was not ready to take me there as he said if my son stays between normal students he will think like normal students but if he joints special school then there are chances of him not being competitive or he might not grow as fast or normal students.
So, in searching for normal school that would give me admission the admission period went off. But my parents taught me all the basic things which are being taught and next year again my dad tried for admission in school for me at that time again schools were not ready to give me admission but my dad used to tell them that if you want you can take an interview of him and if he doesn’t perform well in it then disqualify him but if he performs well then kindly give admission to him.
Then as said father of Rosary High School agreed to take my interview as asked me the question, I gave the answers and then he was happy with my answers so he not only agreed to give me admission in the school but as per my age and knowledge he admitted me directly to Sr KG instead of Jr KG. As I said I had speech and vision issue in my first para it was vanished from my life by the gods grace automatically as I was growing.
And then I passed in first class and completed my 10th successfully without any coaching classes in the year 2010. School life was not that good and not that bad for me as I also got some really good friends and I also had some friends who used to tease me and behave with me badly. Also, I was never a part of a picnic in my school life.
After 10th my aim was to be an engineer but due to financial issues, I was being told to do commerce and get an accountant job by my relatives. But I was very particular that I want to be a Computer Engineer at any cost. So, I joint the science stream and started my journey but it became very difficult for me to pass my HSC and my percentages dropped drastically and due to this, I couldn’t take admission to first-year engineering. Then somehow, I came to know that after 12th I can get admission in the Direct Second year of the Diploma and then after the diploma, I can do my Engineering.
So, I went to M.H. Saboo Siddik Polytechnic College and pursued my Diploma Degree. In between, I was given a Second-Hand Computer by our Family Doctor who is not only our family doctor but also a family member to us. I used to work on that computer but after some days it got worse so we called the technician and asked him to repair it. He repaired it but then again, some days the computer again went bad so my dad told me that we can’t afford to spend money again and again on it so I started to do R&D on that Computer and one day I made it working myself.
Then after I started repairing the computers and laptops for my pocket money. Soon after 1 Year, I realized that I was contributing 70% to my house financially and then I made Computer Repairing as my small business.
In 2014, I completed my Computer Engineering Diploma in First Class and now my dream was to get B.E. Degree but the fees for Engineering were in Lakhs so I was just having a gap due to lack of funds mean while I also joint some NGOs who were working for Differently Abled peoples. During one Event of distributing Free Ads to Differently abled persons, one politician (Hon. MP Poonam Mahajan) noticed me and my hard work and asked me what I was doing and what are my future goals. In no time I said I want to be an engineer but currently I am saving money for the fees and also finding some sponsors to help me. So, the MP said that you take admission this year and don’t worry about the fees I will pay your fees for your Engineering.
As I said I was also running my small business also one of the Business Club recognized my efforts and awarded me in 2015 and the I was greatly recognized in society as the Award event was covered by both Marathi and English Media. After completing my Engineering, I Started my Small office where I do my work currently I have more than 10 Companies as my clients and other Individual Clients separately.
My Future Aim is to Heir Maximum Staff who is Differently able and make at least 10 Differently abled persons to make them financially stable on their own. In all this journey of my life I used to play Cricket by sitting on a regular chair and I was also dreaming that someday I want to play cricket in a team but at that time it was not possible.
But one day one of my friends who covered my interview during my business award to whom I shared I want to play cricket on a large scale, he called me up and told me that Mumbai’s Wheelchair Cricket Team is in Making if you want you can try your luck there so without wasting time I joint the Mumbai Wheelchair Cricket team Under Our Hard Working Captain Mr. Rahul Ramugade and today I am a Part of the Team as a Batsman.
So this was my Journey of Life till today
