Hearing hurdle no problem for him

MOHALI: Hearing impairment is no hurdle for 16-year-old Kunwar Arora, a student of Millennium School, Mohali, who scored a CGPA of 8.4 in Class X of CBSE.
Arora lost his hearing at the age of 3, but has always been a performer. "My son is no different from rest of the students. If he lost his power to hear, he developed a sixth sense: he reads the lips and understands everything," Seema Arora, his mother, says.
Kunwar has starry-eyed aspirations and wants to become a model and a star in the Indian film industry. He also knows French and scored a CGPA of 9 in the subject. He has enrolled in the humanities stream at a private school in Chandigarh, and has won over two dozen gold medals in different sports ranging from golf to cricket and football.
Asked what message they would like to give to the parents of children with hearing impairment, Seema says, "Parents should not admit their children to special schools, because they can excel by living normally in society."
