Great People Hidden, Unexposed
- Ms. Prasanthi Uppalapati

Page: 1 of 1

Hello Friends, I want to share with you all , a very moving discussion with my uncle about the hidden talents of some people of our country. Due to lack of opportunities and proper platform to expose their talents, many people remain in the backdoors. Unfortunately, we give respect to people based on their dressing and mannerisms. We cannot know the greatness of persons and inner worth of them. After reading this article, you just please inform about the details of such persons in your vicinity who deserve applause. I went to my aunt's house(Dad's younger sister) after Diwali. You might be surprised whether I made a mistake on looking at the word 'After Diwali'. It is not so. I and my sister(Dad's brother's daughter) went there after Diwali because my cousins went to another aunt's house to PeddaGanjam to which we did not go. Since all the children gathered there, my uncle shared his unforgettable experience with us(all children). When he was studying Degree, he was travelling in a bus with his Principal to Hyderabad. They couldn't get the consecutive seats. So he had to sit beside a very poor and dirty person. (parama chetta cheppulu, maasina juttu, chirigina dustulu, durvaasana to unna oka vyakthi). He felt very uneasy and tried to sit somewhere but there was no seat that was vacant. He began talking with his Principal on different issues and he saw a Hording and appreciated the Artist. His Principal commented that there are very great artists and many skillful people in India but they are not getting much publicity and fame. My uncle replied that 'Anyone who has real worth will surely shine'. Like this they were talking to each other. After sometime, that Poor man asked my Uncle if he love artists. He replied 'Yes' in a very disgusting tone. Later the Poor Man asked my uncle to tell about his favourite heroines and asked him to put his hand on the Suitcase. Then he took some pencil and began to draw circles on my uncle's nails. After 10 minutes, he asked my uncle to look at his nails. To my uncle's surprise, on his nails, there were the pictures of his favourite heroines. In the moving bus, in the dim light(in the evening time), he could draw them within 10 minutes. Then he felt very ashamed of himself and apologized the poor man and enquired about him. He said that he is a very good artist but did not have any proper opportunities and enough money to project himself. So he requested some people and collected money to come to Hyd to find ways for his living. My uncle gave some money to him and said to him that this is all he can give in his limits. So pathetic a situation. Isn't it? My uncle also said that there are two Rickshaw Pullers in Kavali who are champions in Carams. The person who won State Award in Carams (I suppose) neglect his family and their family is very poor. This is the financial condition and recognition of them in the society. So, Friends, if you know about any such people, you just share with all of us so that they can get proper exposure and opportunities.
