Disability is not a curse and disabled are not the burden of our society. One can be disabled due to many reasons. Generally wrong treatment; heredity and blood relation between father and mother, malnutrition, etcetera are the main reasons behind the disability. If you can realise that your child cannot hear or see, you go to the doctor without any delay. And if you fail to treat your child, don't be disheartened. Because, that disabled child can be an asset if you take care of it properly and timely. Consequently that child can be an architect of his/her own fortune beyond doubt. He/she cannot be dependent on others.

Once there was no institution for disabled but now the educational institutions for the disabled have been established in almost every district. So if we extend our helping hands to the disabled, they can advance forward competing with the able ones. With the light of education the disabled children can avail opportunity to be conscious about their rights. So, try to win the disability.

It is encouraging to find Sen.Hillary Clinton back to the presidential nomination race. This time the Democrates are in little trouble in nominating their genuine presidential candidate.

Meanwhile it seems to me that the victory Sen. Barack Obama has so far achieved in primaries is not based on a solid foundation. On the other side Hillary Clinton's popularity is genuine and if she is nominated, I am confident she will win the race. I strongly feel that in the present context, the USA needs a woman leadership to guide the United States to prosperity and to ensuring world peace and stability.
