You’re here to play golf?

Hmm.

It’s been a year. And who is this standing beside you?

Who is standing?

Mumma, Mumma.

My name is Bubble. My daughter Bulbul Dhingra is 27 years old.

And she is good at skating as well as playing golf.

When she was in school, in Bhavan Vidyalaya, a teacher recommended that I get her skates.

She was just 10 years old then.

I replied that maybe she won’t be able to skate.

But the teacher persisted and asked us to get her the skates.

And today she brings home medals, always the first prize.

She started playing golf in a similar way.

The school had organized a golf camp of about 10 days, Bulbul actively participated in it which led me to believe she should play golf as well.

Since then whenever I get a chance – once in a week or twice in a week – I bring her here.

And Bulbul has been to the Special Olympics twice in Gurgaon.

Don’t you know his name? No.

Please ask what his name is.

What is your name? Harsh.

And ask the name of the other person as well.

Anmol Bedi.

Ahhhh. Talk to them…

Tell them your own name.

Tell them your name as well.

What’s your name?

Bulbul.

This is a tough journey, this has been tough till now and it will be so going ahead.

But we need to have a strong will power and do whatever we can for them.

The biggest message is that do not underestimate them.

Support them as much as you can.

The other parents and everyone else should also have a contribution in this, so that we can do more for them.
