PROGERIA

It is the worst disease a child could have during the birth. Not many may know about this disease. It is the case where a child appears to be aged 4-5 times more even in their early days. Normally, a child with this disease is expected to live around 13 years. Rare cases include mid forties. The more common symptoms are wrinkled skin, retarded growth and distinctive appearance. According to me, it is the worst disease of the man-kind. It is heart breaking to see a child with this disease. In India only 8 children have been affected by this disease so far. I too was unaware of this disease. Only after seeing the bollywood movie ‘PAA’, I came to know about this disease. The ace hero AMITABH BACHAN plays a role of child affected by this disease. His acting is outstanding. This film brings awareness to the Indian people regarding this disease. It also notifies that parents should not avoid their kid having this type of problem. Every kid is special and it’s the duty of parents to take care of them. Often I curse the god for delivering a child with this disease. But later I used to console myself by saying that every problem has a positive ending.
