Hi all, While I have come a long way in terms of acceptance and independenb operation with disability, a couple of days back as I was upset with my mother for calling out out my domestic help for a filthy kitchen (out of a fear that she might not come to work the following day). I experienced a curb on my bargaining power principally owing to disability. I have experienced this feeling on several occasions in the past as well : unable to confront Uber drivers for talking on the phone while driving, once overpaying a Rickshaw as he dropped me despite my destination being obstensibly out of his way, daily hesitating to check office clerks for gosipping loudly near my seat and many more. While the general answer to this, is greater confidence and independence, I believe this too has its own limitations... While Mumbai has been extremely kind and helpful enabling independent living for over a year, there are occasions where I struggle to call out mistreatment/ injustice fearing the repurcussions. Eagerly await insights. Best Turab
