Talent has no bound. Even people with special needs have no limits when it comes to their perseverance and dedication. One such instance was seen recently when a young adult showed his love and affection towards his grandmother through a video.
Almost a year after his grandmother’s demise, 24-year-old Mukund Pant, suffering from intellectual disability, released a video memoir dedicated to her, on YouTube, on Tuesday.
“Mukund was distraught after losing his grandmother. For many months he struggled with his emotions and finally decided to deal with his emotions by creating a video memoir dedicated to his Dadi. After eight months of hard work, his movie “My Life – why did they take her away” was released on PYSSUM’s YouTube channel,” Mukund’s father, Naval Pant, said.
The 11-minute video details the story of the grandmother from her birth till her demise and Mukund’s close connection with her.
“Mukund was born with developmental delays. He was slow and had issues with his eyes. Though he went to mainstream primary schools, his actual training started with PYSSUM, a vocational training centre for young adults with mental disabilities where he joined the child development centre as a young student. After years of hard work, today he trains young adults there,” the father informed.
The short movie shows how a person with special needs struggles in his daily life. It shows many aspects of his creative instincts. The video also portrays the artistic reflection of a person with a disability.
“Mukund takes care of the office management and assists at PYSSUM, despite his constraints of reading and writing,” the father said.
“Mukund had issues with his movement and sight, but with sincere efforts, he chose to create a short movie where eyes and hand movements play a major role, through sheer hard work,” added the father.
