Q. Tell us about the significance of the title 'Gifted'?
A. What I have realised about people with disabilities is that they are gifted with a range of qualities that even normal people don't have. Unlike a regular person who may try to hide or conceal their situation, people with disabilities are far more mature and accepting about it. They do not complain about their condition. They move on in life and are ready to chase their dreams. If we don't celebrate this wonderful gift of theirs, then who will? Let's not just talk about their problems, but their gifts too.

Q. Is that also the message behind the book?
A. My message is simple. We can all learn something from the lives of these people. No matter how hard the struggle is you can reach what you want with commitment. It's not easy, but it's not impossible either.
