More DescriptionWinning the gold medal by an autistic child from a mainstream school opens the mind of the research student to believe in the miracle of hope, belief and relationship over hopelessness, obstructions, pity and despair. The story begins when an expatriate young man accepts the job of a shadow teacher to support an autistic child in the school as it was so challenging that the child never liked to sit on his place. Instead, he ran like a stag all the time aimlessly and crawled in the classroom like a leech. He had no vocal communication besides being partially dumb and deaf as characteristic to many autistic children. Fortunately perseverance led the shadow teacher and his child to achieve the unachievable. As the title suggests Rohan was very lucky to be born as special kid. His origin seems to be somewhere in the space where only dwell the stars. Metaphorically he descends on earth by accident and therefore he doesn't make sense of things, emotions and human activities. He is resembled to an alien on earth for his inability to understand human language and perform human activity. Everything he does has the touch of the stardom. He was luckier to get very sensible friend Mazoon in the same class. On the other hand the shadow teacher who believed that it was his destiny to land in Dubai after losing everything in life whereas the new land too entangled him with irresolvable legal issue. The special boy proved to be a mascot in his life. His course of destiny bifurcates into an exulted stage with the achievement of the special child.The novel has twenty chapters. As every story has three phases such as beginning- middle- end Meteor, the Shooting Star begins with the end and middle remains the same. Precisely we see a special child receive gold medal in TriSkating competition in the first chapter with the genuine suspense how could he do it. Obviously the middle explains you how were it possible. Eventually the last part leads you to the catharsis where readers experience the event where actually Rohan could make it before the immigration authority ordered his deportation. The eight years old girl Mazoon played pivotal role in the transition of the special child and his shadow to bring the climax of the story. Thus the realistic story shower hopes for those who aspires changes in the lives of the special kids with the belief that it's absolutely possible to make them independent.Seeking the blessings of my readers in order to make a difference in the lives of the special ones, I appeal you all to extend your gracious support in the march of establishing equality, joy and justice. Let God be amazed with our unity against his discrimination while creating his most adorable species. With love for one and all that empathise with my pen.Narayan Sharmah
