An Important Message!

We talk of development, modernity and metropolitan culture, but I guess this is limited only to the cloths and accessories of some men. A video that  put forward the ancient thought of a modern man, made me realize that there could be some men even today who hold on to conservative ideas of how a woman should be. Well, its time they change. If they are obstinate to remain like they are, they could be left alone. The video shows how a girl replies to the conservative suggestions of a guy who wishes to marry her. If you ask me, the idea of inferiority or equality of a woman depends more the kind of people around her and not the time period she lives in. I could speak more but I'm afraid I might kill the joke. So, enjoy the video but don't miss the message!

Happiest Birthday Dear Krishna

 Dear Krishna  Happiest Birthday! I still remember the day when I met you in Mayapur, West Bengal in October 2016. It was an ordinary day until that special moment came into my life. It wasn't the first time we were meeting, but whenever I met you before, I saw only a statue, an imitation of the real you.  However, that night, after a hectic day of traveling by flight for a couple of hours and then in a car for another three hours, luck favored me, and it felt like you decided to reveal yourself to me.  When we met amidst the crowd of devotees, in the light of countless diyas, something in me changed forever. I was overwhelmed when I felt your presence, and tears filled my eyes. I couldn't believe that I was actually experiencing your presence. I always thought I didn't have what it takes to connect with you as deeply as I did that night. I could never imagine that someone like me, who prayed occasionally, could experience this joy. My faith in you was flickering, an...

Don't Wait To Be Inclusive

Image
I'm here today to share a few thoughts about inclusion. It all started with a conversation I had at a party. My friend was very impressed with all my achievements despite Cerebral Palsy. I thanked him and said that none of this would be possible without an extremely supportive family and super-inclusive educators and employers. I've had people who built ramps for me, allowed me to work half a day, work in a fixed day shift and even work from the comfort of my home. As I said this, I was thinking out loud about others like me who are not lucky enough to meet inclusive educators and employers.  Do they all have to lose out on education and employment opportunities just because of their disability? My friend said "It is not that easy. A school, college or an organisation will not create facilities without having people who need them." That's a fair argument. After all, why will any business create a product for which there's no demand?  It makes no sense from a b...

I'm Grateful For My Disability - Part 2

Image
I am so glad I kept my Yahoo mail active. I usually use it as a backup to send those files/information that I want to delete from my phone and other email accounts. Few minutes ago, I was casually looking at my old emails flooding my inbox and I found an incredibly positive description of my disability.  I don't remember writing this at all. It is very similar to my recent blog post so I decided to call it part 2.  I hope it brings you as much joy as it brought me. July 25, 2020   I'm starting to realize that disability has never been the bad guy in my life. Somehow, it didn't bother me as child, but it won't let me be at peace as an adult. What's changed? Perhaps my expectations of myself  after I understood the real world. When I fail to meet my new expectations and those of others, I feel trapped in an unsolvable chaos. As a kid I  never felt like I'm troubling someone while they took care of me. Now, it bothers me a lot to ask people to do anything more than...
