Vijaylakshmi’s winning vision

Dr V Vijaylakshmi was born with Retinitis Pigmentosa that left her visually impaired at an early age. This, however, did not stop her from realizing her dreams. Born to a lower-middle-class family in Bangalore, Vijaylakshmi braved through the disabling attitudes of peers and teachers at her school, becoming the first distinction holder in the State Board examinations. Her determination and passion for Carnatic music resulted in earning a Doctoral degree in the subject.

Does the Indian media really care about the disabled?

Fri, 03/13/2020 - 12:20 -- geeta.nair

As I write this column with the intention of drawing attention to a large section of Indian population that lives on the margins of our society, I am thinking to myself: Does Anyone Care.

Does the media care? Do parents of ‘able’ children care? Do the politicians or bureaucrats care? Do schools and universities care? Do businesses care? Does the average individual care? And the resounding answer to all these questions is ‘probably not enough’.  Not enough to bring about a revolutionary change in the way persons with disabilities lead their lives or how we treat them.

The clear fluid filling the eye, also known as aqueous humour, is constantly flowing in and out of the eye. Think of the eye as a sink with a tap that is always open.

Encouraging Independence, By Holly Tuke

Thu, 03/12/2020 - 11:01 -- geeta.nair

Independence. It’s a word that can fill you with many emotions. Determination, a sense of belief, positivity, excitement, fear, anxiety and worry. The word ‘independence’ means something different to everyone. Whether it is making a hot drink for the first time, cooking a meal, learning to use a long cane, going out with friends, going on a solo trip, travelling on public transport, getting a job, starting University, or moving away from home, there are so many ways we can be independent, sometimes more than we even think of.
