Dear Sighted Reader,
First a little disclaimer: I don’t mean to offend. I’m a tell it like it is kind of girl with a wicked sense of humor, and I want to both make you think and make you laugh.
With that said, here it goes.
The things I, and countless other blind people, really wish you knew.
Our level of skill at a given task probably has nothing to do with our blindness.

Notification No. RRC/WR/04/2019 Apprentice Dated 02/01/2020
At the kickoff dinner for a five-week retreat in the Catskills, I said to my fellow writers, “I suck at being blind.”
This is only partly true. I’m good with the technology that allows me to be a writer, but I’m not so good at the mobility thing, which is where my sighted partner, Alabaster, comes in. I had work to do and didn’t want to waste time getting lost on the way to the dining hall, so I asked if I could bring him. They said yes.

Amid the crowds and chaos in sales events, It becomes increasingly difficult for shoppers with disabilities to enjoy discounts. For this reason Big Bazaar preview sale promises a sensitised store and shopping assistance to its huge base of disabled shoppers who require it. For the first time there’s also a Quiet hour Preview across select 38 stores for shoppers with autism and intellectual disabilities.
sometimes begrudgingly cast an eye over my blog’s archives, trying to pinpoint what posts shaped this online space into what it is today. I went as far back as January 2017 the other day and sitting there, at the beginning of the month, was an open letter I addressed to my vision impairment. I reluctantly clicked ‘read’, unsure of what words would greet me on the following page. Yes, I was right, I had every reason to cringe. Mind you,I might do exactly the same when looking back at this in 2023.
