What endeared the writer Firdaus Kanga to the scientist Stephen Hawkins?
Answers
Stephen Hawking is one of the greatest scientists of our time. He suffers from a form of paralysis that confines him to a
wheelchair, and allows him to ‘speak’ only by punching buttons on a computer, which speaks for him in a machine-like voice. Firdaus Kanga is a writer and journalist who lives and works in Mumbai. Kanga was born with ‘brittle bones’ that tended to break easily when he was a child. Like Hawking, Kanga moves around in a wheelchair.The two great men exchange thoughts on what it
means to live life in a wheelchair, and on how the so called ‘normal’ people react to the disabled.

The writer asked Stephen Hawking if he found it annoying for causing disturbance in his work. Without any second thought, Hawking quickly with a yes. But he suddenly gave a one-way smile and this endeared the scientist to the writer. The writer instantly felt that he was indeed looking at one of the most beautiful men in the world, who although is disabled physically, but has a beautiful soul, not a body, which is nothing but just an accessory.
