BENGALURU: From terrace conversations to blushing gawkily at audio pop ups from a chat in the computer class, two disabled couples tell City Express about dating and falling in love. “She does not know how I dress or what I look like, I don’t know what she looks like but all that we know is that we love each other,” says Kiran (name changed). Kiran, 27, hails from Andhra Pradesh and ever since he’s been to Bengaluru, he has been in love with a Nepali girl from Shillong, Sharmi, 32. They met at a training centre for the disabled this July and Kiran was swept off his feet by Sharmi’s simplicity and honesty. It was her first android phone that got them talking. Sharmi did not know how to operate the phone and sought Kiran’s help. During their first few days at the centre, Kiran would share his dosa with Sharmi, who didn’t bring a tiffin box. He would tell her that he had extra food and ask her to have it with him. It was only recently that Sharmi realised, that he never brought extra dosas, but would share his entire lunch with her. All these little things ignited in them a feeling they never thought they could feel - love. While sharing the same computer and a headset at the institute because of the lack of space, Kiran opened a notepad and messaged her ‘hi’. When the talking computer read out Kiran’s hi to Sharmi, she blushed and replied ‘hello’. An hour into the class conversation got them talking about life and their goals. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
