She couldn't read.
I had dyslexia.
Destinies met.

Dehradun, 1990 by Akhil Katyal

As a kid I used to confuse my d’s
with my g’s, and that bit of dyslexia
didn’t really become a problem till
I once spelt ‘God’ wrong. That day,
the teacher wrote a strictly worded
letter to my parents, and asked me
to behave myself. Also, as a kid,
I could not pronounce the letter ‘r,’
so till I was sent to some summer
vacation speech correction classes
at age 5, I used to say, “Aam ji ki
jai,” “Aam ji ki jai,” — then a teacher
taught me to hold my tongue against the
ceiling of my mouth and then throw it out
quivering, ‘R,’ ‘Rrrr,’ she wrenched it
out of me, over many sessions, “Ram,”
until then, I did not know God was so
much effort, till they made him tremble
on the tip of my tongue, God was only
a little joke about mangoes.

He loved learning.
But, words betrayed him.

Dyslexia!
Words and Colors
नाम और मतलब जान कर,
चले गए तुम हाथ मिलाकर।
असली दोस्ती तो हमने की,
कुछ वक़्त साथ बिताकर।

Slaps and tears
never leave me alone.
Sticking on my face
they see the world
before my eyes.
I don't complain.
They are closer
to me than anyone
and l o v e me a lot.

Oh God ...
Why this dyslexia hits me
Every time I try to compose
Nowadays my close becomes loose
My things becomes thoughts
Then I read it again and wonder
Why the hell I used this word here....
Still I love writing very much
Although challenging.
But the feel good factor
Is really worth it ...

"Love your imperfections." They said.

And then dyslexia gave birth to a world class painter.
