HERO IN BLUE JEANS






HE turned up in characteristic gear, red cap placed jauntily on the head, and a black neckless t-shirt worn casually over a blue pair of jeans. Well, never mind it was a formal event he was to inaugurate, but a star is surely entitled to his dress code, don't you reckon? SALMAN KHAN was in his element at the launch of Phase II of Bajaj Institute of Learning's vocational training facilities for the disabled. The second phase offers free vocational training for the hearing impaired. As goodwill ambassador for the institute, Salman was all praise for the spunk its students had shown in facing up to their handicap. The biggest problems some of us will ever encounter involve getting caught up in a traffic jam, or having the director preventing us from leaving early to attend an event such as this. But imagine going through life without the gift of hearing, and yet remaining cheerful and brave. The students of this institute deserve to be commended, and the institute deserves our support, even if that means having to delve into our pockets to offer relief, said Salman, to a deafening applause.
