What do you know about this amazing champ Sparsh Shah?
Before I begin, one audio of Sparsh Shah will explain to you about his amazing personality and charming aura. His voice is a true definition of hope, courage, and positivity. Sparsh is an amazingly talented kid, who is suffering from Osteogenesis Imperfecta. His video albums have gone viral on the web and he enjoys a crazy fan following.
If you think he is like any other ordinary human looking forward to see some sympathetic faces, then you would have seen him with a lunch box in his hand asking for charity. But, this boy is surrounded with the most precious asset in life – M U S I C. Music is which is why he is alive today. He is an ardent fan of Eminem. He is quite fascinated about rap music and raps under the pseudonym, Purhythm.
Sparsh sits on his wheelchair and performs at various community events and radio shows. He has also hosted a few television shows. The way he indicates people to put hands together and clap while he sings rap is simply cute.
Well, many of us may not be sure of the reason behind Sparsh’s wheelchair. Sparsh had about 35 broken bones when he was born. Till date, he has lived with 125 fractured bones as he is suffering from a rare disease known as Osteogenesis Imperfecta. Under this condition, even a slight pressure on his body parts may cause the bones to brittle. Even a hard handshake may cause him a fracture. It is due to this reason; he is unable to put the pressure on his limbs and stand, which forces him to use a wheelchair.
Sparsh’s bone may have broken, but not his spirit. He has a young age that beats just like any other common kids. Apart from being passionate about music and singing, Sparsh writes poems, stories, songs, composes his own music, and is currently also learning Hindustani classical singing.
Sparsh can speak in four different accents and could spell a 45 letter long word of English in 12 seconds itself. To add more to this amazement, he did that at the age of 6 and the word was ‘Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis’. If this is driving you crazy, I suggest we stick to his music interests (winks).
Sparsh also is one of the first Indian origin kids to perform at the GRAMMY stage. He was selected as one of the top 4 Next Generation: Emerging Artists by the Academy and performed at GRAMMY Park in May 2016.

Motivational Message about Sparsh Shah:
Oh my god! I don’t know from to begin writing about Sparsh Shah. You know about this little cute kid now and everyone who reads this story will have a different positive story in their mind about Sparsh. Sparsh in Hindi means touch and it is doubtless to believe that he has touched my hearts and souls from his confidence towards life.
When my kid was born, she developed a squint eye problem. I lost all dreams to raise her beautiful. I was broken as I couldn’t believe kids teasing her and teachers comparing her with other students. Thankfully, nothing of that sort actually happened. It is because my daughter is so friendly and social with others that her helping nature brings people closer to her.
I truly believe that god gives us special powers and skills in return to those weaknesses that we are fearful of. It’s just that some weaknesses are physical and evident in open. However, if kids like Sparsh Shah are so matured and visionary for their career goals, despite the challenges, my salute to these kids. In comparison to Sparsh, I believe I am very weak as it took me years to bring back my courage and stand up with confidence. In fact, many like me are ten times weaker in comparison to Sparsh’s strengths.
Sparsh knows that he can’t stand up, but he has made me stand for him and stand with immense proud to have known a person like him. I truly hope that wherever he goes, he spreads enthusiasm, courage, and positivity like he is doing right now. I have personally learnt a lot from this amazing 13 years old packet of love and affection. If you too feel the same for Harsh like I do, it is time to open any of his video songs and start enjoying!
