Ms. Narasimhalu

Narasimhalu, who won the II Prize in Painting (water colour on paper) in the South Zone Regionals is a 26 year old orphan, severely orthopaedically impaired. He has finished class XII and has done a computer course in Basic Computer Applications and HTML. He paints with his foot and also uses the computer mouse with his feet since he has very limited hand function. At present he is looking for a job since his aim in life is not to depend on others.

He loves painting and has an excellent sense of colour. He is also interested in music. He is a very enthusiastic and cheerful person and feels that peoples' attitude towards disability has changed over the past few years.
