ROURKELA:  Born into a silent world, Subhasish Das remains undaunted by the challenges that he had to face as a hearing and speech impaired child. Prince, as he is fondly called by family, has overcome his shortcoming with his unique ability to replicate anything under the sun with panache.
Be it a hand-pulled rickshaw with a couple travelling on it; a bicycle or trolley rickshaw made of match sticks and wood flakes, his collection of handicrafts are captivating. A school dropout with no proper training in handicrafts, Prince has a special penchant for the art world and spends hours at a stretch chiseling wood giving shape to his idea.

Mother Sabita says, "He developed an inclination for art and painting from childhood but had to discontinue a painting course for want of funds and dropped out of school. He continued to pursue his artistic work on his own." A few years back his family and neighbours were amazed when he replicated the Nilakantha Temple, located in the vicinity, in thermocol with the interiors too given a original look.

Subashish is employed though. He is a sought after employee at a bakery where he works for eight hours to earn a monthly income of Rs 2,500. "An extraordinary talent is wasted due to lack of recognition or support he deserves," said his father Sukanta, while uncle Srimanta feels given proper training and opportunity he would come out with surprises.

What's your reaction?
