He has a bristly moustache and a sparse, bristly beard on his chin. One upright, broad, grey-painted, rectangular iron bar of the nether side of the machine is visible, but the rest is hidden from view. Next to the lower end of this bar there is a stack of white paper plates with raised rims. The plates are lined with silver foil. In the background there are several stacks of paper plates, a couple of plain wooden tables, and a plate-making machine with a grey horizontal iron bar resting on two vertical bars.","Alt_Text_Photo2":"Rajesh, wearing dark brown trousers and a scarlet jacket with zippered front and zip-up front pocket, sits astride a low, chocolate brown wooden table meant for a child. Behind him there is a cream wall and lime-green wooden shelves. Surrounding him on the ash grey rug, numerous plastic toys are scattered. They are coloured red, blue, white, orange, green, yellow, purple, beige and brown. There are action figures, helicopter, jeep, tractor, pistol, abacus, and parts of a tiny mechanic’s toolset. On the table in front of Rajesh there are a few more playthings he is preparing to gather to put away. There are three stacks of five plastic tiles on a central spike: orange, blue and yellow. His right hand is on top of the orange stack. His left hand is picking up a yellow tile placed wrongly on top of the blue stack.","Alt_Text_Photo3":"Rajesh, wearing a navy blue half-sleeved knitted shirt and matching track pants, sits on an office chair with a sapphire blue seat and back and black metal frame. He sits just inside the open doorway of a dormitory with sandal-coloured walls and rows of iron cots. The door opens out into a corridor. The floor is made of ivory-white tiles. About one foot away from his right foot and touching the corridor wall, there is an unruly, high pile of dried garments on the floor. In front of him there are a few chequered cotton bedsheets. He holds up a beige bedsheet with mocha brown checks, which he has folded in half.","Alt_Text_Photo4":"Rajesh, wearing his navy blue knitted shirt and track pants, sits in an office chair with sapphire blue seat and back. The chair is in the middle of two rows of black iron cots on a floor with ivory white tiles. The far wall of the dormitory is sandal-coloured. There are folded blankets at the foot of each bed, in dark shades of blue, brown and grey. The bedsheets are in light pastel shades of brown and purple and are printed with different designs.","Alt_Text_Photo5":"Mid shot of a smiling Rajesh, wearing his scarlet jacket and standing with folded arms in a long corridor with beige walls and ivory-tiled floor.

Dystrophy has affected his locomotion, but with his tenacious willpower he manages many aspects of his life independently and requires only minimal support. Earlier he used to play the Paralypmic version of softball and (the ball game) bocce. Radhika Singh, the school principal, informs us that every child is guided according to their abilities and Rajesh was directed towards vocational training. He learnt to operate the paper plate-making machine but now that he can no longer stand for long hours, he counts the plates, stacks and packs them and organises their dispatch. \n\nWhen the younger children leave their toys scattered all over the floor, Rajesh is there to stow them away and tidy up the playroom. You can find him making the beds in the dormitory, folding dried clothes and linen, wiping the dining table, or cleaning the floor.

He loves to celebrate festivals, especially the Ganapati festival. He has a sweet tooth and also likes chicken and other non-veg dishes when they are available.\n\nEven as Rajesh’s muscles continue to weaken he is sure to learn new ways to adapt with the constant support of his caring ‘family’.","Quote":"“People in my school are my only family now.
