The Magician and his physically challenged children

Not everybody is successful in fulfilling his/her dreams. A dream to pursue a carrier you intend to. But this so called magician chased his dreams to be what he wanted.

Iam talking about the great magician named Gopinath Muthukad. He is one of the renowned magician in our country. He is a real performer with a great talent. He has created wonders in the field of magic. One of his best asser is his smile. You can sèe him always with a pleasant smile.

He belongs to the northern part of our state Kerala. But as his performance is being recognized in most of the countries and inorder to expand his career, he shifted to southern part of the capital city of our state.

A brief description about him is available in the google encyclopedia. Coming from a middle class family his father was totally against his interest in magic. Inorder to please his father he graduated in Mathematics and joined Masters in Law. But he dropped his Master's degree to pursue a career of his choice, a career as magician.

He had a unique style of performing this art in his own way. He has been honoured with several state and national prize for his immense achievement. Recently he was honoured by the UN agency UNICEF for his continuous support in promoting the growth of mentally disabled children.

He started his magic while studying in school after watching a magic show. At first he did for fun, then he continued and pursued as a career as professional magician. But presently his purpose of magic is restricted only to the physically challenged persons. And that is the reason behind his recognition in UNICEF.

For this he took the initiative to open a school called "Different Art Centre" for these children. The purpose behind this school is to bring the extraordinary talents of these children.

When he started this school he never expected enormous number of students to enroll in this Institution. This is the only institution where the expense is borne by the institution solely. Free education and free food being the main criteria.

The busy magician reduced his professional career to spend more time with these children. The result being each child had the ability to bring out the best in him/her. When one turned out to be a good singer, the other was good in drum beats and another a good speaker.

Recently two of the students from these centre were qualified and honoured in the capital city for their talents. The credit goes to this noble man Gopinath Muthukad for his constant support to these students.

There was a TV show by some of the parents of these children very recently. One of the mother of a challenged child said she was often warned by her own relatives against bringing the child for functions. She said she has to face this mental torture where ever she went along with the child. But now, this child is a matter of proud to his parents. Because his hidden capabilities were thrown to the public by this so called magician.

Gopinath Muthukad is a man of substance. A personality one would likebto adorebwith respect. A man behind the awakening of many sleeping able talents within the physically challenged person. Its really an honour to salute such personality.
