Junior School Swimming Gala-' 09

Is Vineet bagging the narrator role in school? This was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard of it first..And no, this time it was not so a 'good' feeling..I had hoped that he would be able to do some swimming for the gala.But time was less,maybe, and frankly I did not know how I would be able to be there at the pool for his practice everyday, before leaving for work(I could have managed it now I think). And now I think it was a good thing that he did not participate-the hours were long and he would have gotten a cold due to the cool breeze near the pool! So finally his teachers n his supervisor took the intelligent decision to let him do what he is best at- announcing.He also joined the choir for the Programme. This time I was unable to attend 'coz it was a school affair.So I got fotos of the gala..view some more here..http://www.flickr.com/photos/57634602@N00/

Okay, I can see that I last blogged in April! wo, thats a long long time back ,I must say.So basically there is just one big news- Vin had his very First Air flight on 23rd June.He was damn excited and the whole experience was great for him.It was good that I remembered to take his player along-it helped..We took a very short trip of B'lore.We absolutely fell in love with the weather..it was awesome!Cool and breezy! Loved the city as well.Most of the parts reminded me of good 'ole Cal.(minus the narrow roads and filth on them!!sorry guys..:)

Today was Vineet's Sports Day.He took part in the Novelty Race - Red Riding Hood, and dressed up as one of the grannies.He was a bit upset on not winning, but I made him understand the importance of losing as well..seems he understood(!!) Then he also took part in his Class drill. But the best part was that he administered the Oath to all the Junior School kids! And he spoke very well, needless to mention...:)

And this is Vineet acting naughty in school when I went for his CIC on 24.09.2008. Of course, I go there everyday..

Entry for August 22, 2008

Vineet had an accident at school on 22nd August.He fell from his wheelchair while he was playing during breaktime in school.Luckily he fell face front or else it wud have been worse for him with his shunt and scoliosis..He's okay now and perfectly well. But that day was quite scary bcoz his dad was also out of town..But I managed with the CT Scan n stuff along with Vineet's uncle.

Entry for August 14, 2008

Vineet was the narrater of his class in the Independance Day celebrations held in his school(St. Patrick's).He had been practising with his classteacher(Ms. Michelle Sharma)and his classmates for a few days.So though he had the script in his hand,he knew the entire piece by heart.He was very confident on the mic. and spoke very well.When he first came on stage, he grew nervous at the sight of the sea of parents and teachers.Then he saw me sitting in the front row and smiled broadly :)After that he was on his own.My heart was full of joy and pride..I love him so....

OPEN LETTERS TO HRITHIK ROSHAN

02.07.2004

Dear Hrithik,

I am sure you won’t forget this letter in a hurry. My son was watching your latest movie –“Lakshya” and as you were punished during your training session for not paying attention ,there were sounds of sobbing in the theatre. My husband and I turned towards our son sitting between us and realized that he was sobbing uncontrollably with tears running down his cheeks. When asked ,he replied –‘ My Hrithik is punished –so I’m crying.” It took quite some time for us to make him understand that you did not cry and bravely completed your punishment.

That’s my son ‘Valentine Vineit Victor ",aged four years for you .He`s been your admirer even since he could hear and understand songs and I mean songs from ‘Kaho Na Pyar Hai’.He used to say ‘I do-do’ for ‘I love you’ in the title song when he was about 1 year old . Then came ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ and that was the first movie he watched in a cinema hall. And he was so so excited . He watched the entire movie though he was very drowsy due to his habit of sleeping in the afternoons .

Now you may ask – whats so new about a small boy being your ardent admirer? Here’s your answer – Vineet has ‘Spina Bifida’ and is paralyzed from waist downwards . It’s a neurological disorder by birth and we are extremely thankful to God that he is a very intelligent boy . He is in Nursery -II and stood First in Nursery -I .He is very well- behaved and is very very interested in music and singing . And not to mention, he can copy all the dance steps that he sees on TV. – that is, as much as his upper self allows .

He has an identical jacket like yours in the song ‘Kyun Chalti Hai Pawan’;and every time he puts it on , he puts up both his hands in the air just like you and starts singing . He’s just crazy about everything you do and says he’ll look like you when he will grows up . We make him do things just in your name ! ( eating , studying etc. ) We even got his head shaved saying he’ll look like you !! HA HA HA! ( joking ).

We saw you on the National Geographic channel some time back with orphan children . We got a glimpse of your personal life . And here’s what is really in my mind as I write this letter to you –Can Vineet meet you in person sometime – may be during some holidays – as my husband is a teacher . Actually ,though we treat Vineet normally , deep down in our hearts ,we are so attached to him that we now see through his eyes , and hear through his ears and wish for whatever he wishes . And I can already imagine his expression if he gets to see you in personal – a very big , no, huge achievement in his life . It just means that we would like to spend a few precious moments in your company ;but we have absolutely no knowledge of how to get to you.I am sending this letter with all my hopes pinned on you and even though I don’t want this to look like a fan-mail, I have to congratulate you for your superb performance in ‘Koi mil gaya’.I could identify myself with your character’s mother- the mother of a child with special needs. Its really hard to protect your baby from a few uncompassionate people. Anyways ,that’s a completely different topic.

Vineet is on a wheelchair and after a few more months, it will be impossible to carry him around as we have been doing uptill now .My husband has already floated Vineet’s site on the web, which you are welcome to visit at –www.theworldofvineit.com and www.geocities.com/vineitsjourney

Our mail add.is- Mr.Ravi Victor, Vijaydeep ,P.O. Upper Chelidanga, Asansol-713304.

And e-mail id is rav_victor@yahoo.com

Please do give us some personal response from your side. We are eagerly waiting for your affirmative reply.

Mrs. J.Renu Victor

&

Mr. Ravi Victor

(P.S. we could not get your e-mail i.d.,so we are posting this letter-sorry for the delay)

Dear Hrithik,

The above is a copy of the letter I sent u in November 2005. I suppose the letter either got lost or maybe u were busy getting ready for your “little bundle of joy”. OUR HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW ARRIVAL!!!!

Actually, we sent u a courier in October but it was returned unsigned. How very foolish of us! Then we sent the letter by ordinary mail. It never came back nor did a reply. So as we write this letter we don’t know how we’ll send it ,but wish it will reach u-we are hoping in the good Lord. The latest is that Vineet has been promoted to Class 1,and he was very seriously ill in June last year. So his health has gone down a bit as u will c in his sites’ updates. Do please let us meet u some time this year later maybe in the winter hols.? Vineet will be very happy. Its in his mind that he’ll be seeing u sometime in his life.Please grant his wish,sir.we’ll bless u for this everafter. In our last letter we sent u Vineet’s snap, but we r scared this time . Do visit Vineet’s site. I am not writing a long letter this time. I’ll write to u after getting your much awaited reply.

Thankyou in advance,

Mrs. J.Renu Victor &

Mr.Ravi Victor

24th May 2010

Dear Hrithik,

I am the mother of a 10 year old boy who has ‘Spina bifida’. I am writing this letter today,i.e. 24th May 2010 in the hope that maybe we can get to see you and meet you here I Kolkata. I don’t know whether this will happen or not as I write this letter now at 5.30 a.m. But what I would like to tell you, is that my son ‘VINEET’ is your ardent fan ever since he was a year old and ‘Kaho na pyaar hai’ was just released.

I had sent you some letters some years back, the copies of which I am attaching. PLEASE do read them when you have time. I understand that’s its difficult to listen to just a fan, but my heart says you will surely grant my request( on behalf of my son).

Vineet now has a blog which I hope you will have time to visit- theworldofvineetvictor.blogspot.com

Thankyou so much,

Mrs. Jacqueline Renu Victor
