For Kiran Malhotra, caring for her younger son Kashish, whom the family lovingly calls Noni, has been a 28-year journey shaped by patience, love and constant responsibility. Living near Tapri Station, Lal Kothi, Nangal Road, Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, Kiran has devoted much of her life to understanding and caring for her son, who has been dependent on her for his everyday needs since childhood. Speaking to The Times of India, Kiran said, \u201cMere do bete hain, bade bete ka naam Mannu hai aur chhota beta Kashish hai, jise hum pyaar se Noni bulate hain. Noni 28 saal ka hai aur bachpan se hi meri poori care par dependent hai.\u201dWhen Noni was born, Kiran noticed that he did not respond like other newborns. \u201cJab Noni paida hua tha, tab woh normal bachchon ki tarah roya bhi nahi tha,\u201d she recalled. As he grew, the family began noticing more differences in his development. He struggled to hold his neck properly, and whenever they tried to make him stand, his legs would cross. \u201cDheere-dheere jab woh bada hone laga, tab humein samajh aaya ki woh doosre bachchon ki tarah apne aap cheezein nahi kar pa raha hai,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUski aankhon aur expressions se hi pata chalta hai\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\u201cUski<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Noni cannot speak and is unable to manage his daily routine independently. As a result, Kiran has had to become closely attuned to his needs, often understanding what he wants without words. \u201cUski har chhoti-badi zaroorat mujhe samajhni padti hai,\u201d she said, describing how she helps him bathe, change clothes, eat and maintain a comfortable position. \u201cKabhi-kabhi uski aankhon aur expressions se hi pata chalta hai ki use kya chahiye.\u201d Noni was unable to attend school, and much of his world has remained centred around his home and family. Yet Kiran says he has his own interests and sources of happiness. He enjoys listening to bhajans, looking at picture books and watching trains.\u201cUski chhoti-chhoti khushiyan aur uski smile mere liye sabse badi khushi hain,\u201d she said. For Kiran, caregiving has also extended beyond her son. Her husband lived with leg paralysis for nearly 10 years and remained at home during that period. She cared for him alongside Noni, seeing both responsibilities as part of caring for her family. \u201cMere liye ye sab kabhi bojh nahi tha, ye mera parivaar tha aur unki care karna mere liye apna farz aur pyaar dono tha,\u201d she said. Her husband died two years ago. His absence has brought another emotional and practical challenge to the family. Kiran says Noni continues to miss his father deeply, and the household has felt the loss.<\/p>\n

As she grows older, caring for Noni is becoming harder<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Kiran\u2019s elder son Mannu has also tried to support the family and contribute towards Noni\u2019s needs. However, managing household expenses and the costs associated with Noni\u2019s care on a limited income remains difficult. Kiran herself is also growing older, making the physical demands of caregiving increasingly difficult. Lifting Noni, helping him bathe, feeding him and managing his everyday needs can be physically exhausting. \u201cAb meri age bhi badh rahi hai aur Noni ko physically handle karna pehle se zyada difficult hota ja raha hai,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n
\"As<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yet despite the physical and emotional challenges, Kiran says her son\u2019s care has never felt like a burden. Her concern now is what the future will look like as she becomes older. \u201cMain bas chahti hoon ki Noni khush rahe, comfortable rahe aur use woh saari facilities mil sakein jo uski life ko thoda easier bana sakti hain,\u201d she said. Kiran also hopes that people understand not only the needs of people like Noni but also the struggles faced by the family members who care for them every day.\u201cMeri bas itni si wish hai ki log Noni jaise bachchon ki life ko samjhein aur unki care karne wali maaon ke struggles ko bhi samjhein.\u201d After 28 years of putting her son\u2019s needs at the centre of her life, Kiran says the smallest moments continue to give her strength. \u201c28 saal se meri duniya Noni ke around rahi hai, aur aaj bhi uski ek chhoti si smile mere liye sab kuch hai.\u201d<\/div>\n
