Adarsh Speaks

The time has come in that point of life where my passion and my desires of accomplishing some part of my life goals needs to be addressed and implemented before time runs out. Now when I say, “before time runs out” I don’t necessary mean literally, but rather to state that the time is NOW before something else comes up in whatever form it may.

Since the day I actually learnt to write properly- I don’t mean the ABC’s, but actually the day I realized I could speak my mind through words and actually enjoy it- was the time I wished to someday share my unique perspectives and experiences of a boy growing up with a rare genetic condition known as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) to the world.  

WHY NOW???

Since that time when I learnt to write which was actually in the form of poetry sometime during the 6^th grade, my dad has always urged me to write and develop a stronger passion towards it. He is always thinking about the future and feels that writing will and would become a friend to me at difficult times. Unfortunately my zigzag lifestyle, my education, my life ambitions, and unforeseen life changing events kept becoming obstacles in the way.

Now 2 months in lockdown due to the global pandemic Covid-19 has given me the perfect opportunity where there are no other distractions (if you want to call it that) for me to develop a stronger passion to share my thoughts and perspectives with the world.

Other factors that are influencing me at the moment are the release of my dad’s book many months ago (where I was one of the editors) has inspired me further, the fact of me turning 30 reminding me that time is flying, and having my entire family around me (except for our youngest member who ran off to Canada to study😏 ) who are all being incredibly enthusiastic, focused and busy with their own projects/work/studies.
