No passer by can miss to smile back at Vignesh who is a very cheerful boy. He goes to school and is in his 9th grade now. Vignesh visits the rehab centre every week and says he loves to miss school and be with us for a change. He feels being with us is a very positive moment and it energizes him a lot during the rehab sessions. Amidst all this, Vignesh has his own ways of pass time where he feels really elated. He shared one of his family outings with us. It was to a hilltop family deity temple which he cherished. The drive on the winding roads, the loverly sceneries and the company of his family was so amazing that he cannot forget it he says. It is not because of the beauty of the hill top temple alone, but visiting the temple gives him a sense of joy he added. Especially a trip filled with fun activities and his little brother who kept entertaining him all the way made it even more interesting. Well, he can’t keep travelling always, he has his own ways of entertainment. Carrom and chess keeps him occupied and is most sought after he stated. He said he would love to grow up into a mechanical engineer and invent lot of mechanical items which will be pollution free and not consuming electricity much. His intention is to enter college first and then come out with flying colours as an engineering graduate. He reads a lot and loves to solve puzzles. He says his room is full of books and most of them would focus on puzzles and games. Vignesh has a very positive attitude towards life. He tries his hands on cooking too at times. He loves to be on it for long hours serving his family with delicious items made of mushroom as he loves cooking on mushrooms. Vignesh has invited the rehab centre team home to taste his culinary expertise. Looking forward to meet him at his home.

Story by Gianmario Fortunato
Mi chiamo Gianmario Fortunato ho 34 anni sono della provincia di Brescia. Ho la DMD diagnosticata all’ età di 6 anni, ho camminato fino a 11 anni. Ho due grandi sogni, il primo è una vita senza DMD se non per me almeno per i bambini che la hanno e per quelli che nasceranno, il secondo è quello di trovare l’amore puro, avere figli, una vita pseudo normale. Tutta la mia infanzia è stata meravigliosa nonostante la dmd e le esperienze preferite che ho vissuto, sono state avere fatto un giro in elicottero ed su una Ferrari F40 a 200 km/h, due esperienze con andrenalina pura. La mia visione delle cose mi porta a pensare che se potessi cambiare qualcosa nel mondo, cambierei la sensibilità delle persone. Vorrei un mondo come una volta, come quello dei nostri nonni, dove si viveva con le porte aperte e se un vicino aveva bisogno lo aiutavi . Vorrei un mondo dove la gente che non fa nulla per nessuno e parla male e critica per invidia, capisse il vero senso del silenzio della non critica ma solo collaborazione .. Vorrei un mondo con meno gente arrabbiata perché la vita è una sola!
My name is Gianmario Fortunato; I’m 34 and I live near Brescia, in Northern Italy. I was diagnosed with DMD when I was 6 and I was able to walk until the age of 11. My dream would be a life without DMD; if not for me, at least for little children who are being diagnosed now and for the ones still to be born. My other dream is to find my true love, to have kids, a pseudo-normal life. My childhood was amazing, in spite of my DMD and my favorite experiences in my life have been had a helicopter tour, and another time I had the chance to ride a Ferrari F40 at 240 km/hour – these were experiences filled with pure adrenaline. My vision of life leads me to think that if I could change something in the world, I would like to change people’s sensitivity. I’d like to live in a world more similar to our grandparents’ one, when people used to leave their doors open and to help one’s neighbor if he was in need. I’d like to live in a world in which people who usually don’t help others and criticize those who do that (out of envy for them) could understand the value of silence and collaboration and stop badmouthing other people. I would like people to live less angrily, because you only live once!
Story by Shyam Sunder
Shyam has a passion for animals, especially pets. He loves dogs, cats, pups, kittens and of course birds. Shyam cannot pass by without hugging a cute kitten which crosses his way. Well, he says, it is not the kittens and puppies alone that fascinate him, but it is in general the animal kingdom. He feels they have equal rights to live in this world and must be honoured for what they are. They should never be hurt or left uncared. They haves lives too like us …says Shayam. Moving from the pets he goes on to the ferocious wild jungle inhabitants too. He says the tigers are nothing less than our best friends. It is as important as our best friends in the school or neighborhood. It is so alarming that they are dwindling in number and there is no one to pause for a moment to think about them. The majestic white tigers of the Sunderbans in India are a pride to the country itself. They are too less in number too. They are hardly visible these days. Shyam very emotionally touching his heart asks us … do you know why this is happening? The reason is quite simple. It is because of the scarcity of trees and forests which is due to deforestation and scarcity of water bodies. It is our duty to take care of these loving animals. The more love we show them, the more attracted they are towards us. So let us start loving animals. Please do not kill animals, they are close to my heart and soon make them your friends and they will be close to your heart too.
As all other boys, I love to play and jump and be a tom boy, though not much these days as my activities are restricted, but the moment I see my friends over the fence or with a cricket bat, I intend to pick up one start my play. It is all the confidence that the people around me have given till today. Without pets or animals my only company and passion is playing outdoors. I wish each day is a Sunday and I can be happy playing all day with my friends and cherish those memories all my life. I just love what I am doing…. Friends always be happy and do something that you like to make your self happy …. This is the bottomline of Shyam sunder’s heart. Most of the time, Shyam is with his grand mother who best takes care of him and so he includes her as one of his best friends. The picture shows Shyam with his grand mom.
