Tactile tiles, which are virtually the guiding lights for the visually-impaired, are hardly of any use to them in the Capital. Sometimes they end up leading into drains, as outside the power station adjoining Delhi Secretariat; at other places they lead into obstacles like trees, poles or even a wall. This is so because while placing them is mandated under the civic and building guidelines, the sensitivity needed for such work is missing.

Brenden Borrellini was born completely deaf and with limited sight that developed into complete blindness. His disability presented many obstacles for him growing up but with a lot of hard work and help from the Special Education Unit at the Cavendish Road State School in Brisbane, he became the first deaf and blind student to finish his high school education and to attend University.
 
In 1989 he was nationally recognised and won the young Australian of the Year award for his academic achievements. But Brenden didn't stop there.

-Albert Einstein, George Washington, Beethoven, Helen Keller, Thomas Edison, Graham Bell — all faced one form of disability or the other. As a new academic session has started in colleges, we need to remind ourselves of this fact in order to look at the differently abled from an alternative perspective, says ANANYA BORGOHAIN
My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you from doing well, and don’t regret the things it interferes with. Don’t be disabled in spirit as well as physically — Stephen Hawking
