Rajesh, Why shall I have to make attempt to ridicule you?
You need to think yourself where and what comment to do. If it is your effort to make me shut up my mouth, it would not happen. Very purpose of language is to express myself and need not to be grammar expert. You understood what I want to say. That’s all.

Was just refering to his portrayal of albinism, and repeated harping on the resemblance to europeanism. And your attempt to ridicule me suffers from grammatical errors, sorry to say. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of kailas amolik Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2016 11:19 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Being Albino - A first person account by Prashant Naik Dear Rajesh, Prashant himself knows well that he is not European. He will have to take it lightly. Else he would have to look down towards comments made by childish people. Kailas On Mon, 13 Jun 2016 14:37:51 +0530 "Asudani, Rajesh" wrote >Sounds childish.

Subject: [AI] Being Albino - A first person account by Prashant Naik Being Albino - A first person account by Prashant Naik Yes, I have low vision and am very nearsighted because of oculocutaneous albinism, which is the name given to a group of conditions that affect the colouring of the hair, skin and eyes. I look different, with white skin, swinging eyeballs and blond hair. I have many challenges like low vision, social attitudes and a skin that is sensitive to the sun and more vulnerable to skin cancer. However, I take my albinism as a positive. It makes me look different and sets me apart from others as I look European. I remember that during my primary school days, classmates would yell at me, saying 'Simon, go back!', echoing a slogan from the history books that was used by the Indian freedom fighters against the British. That would make me feel low and I would withdraw from others. As a teenager, that changed to 'Boris Becker', the German tennis champion whom I resemble. That felt so nice. I realized then that am different and I should take it as a blessing. This brought in a significant shift and gave me an advantage. I am able to deal with low vision problems by making sure I use large fonts, zoomed in screens and bold text. I always ensure the lighting conditions are good. Many a time I get special treatment as I always stand out in a crowd. People from school, college and my past workplaces remember me and my albinism has given me the personality of a foreigner. My experience is that there is much to gain from being different. For me, being albino is a gift. About the Writer Prashant Naik, who has albinism, works for a government bank. He was honoured by a National award in 2013 by the President of India as the Role Model of the year.
