I agree that blindness does limit one's chances of being thought of as potential partner. I did not have any love inclination from opposite side except one in nine years of my academically illustrious college life.
If you compare figures with my sighted counterparts, I would perhaps be the last. This is so, me thinks, because any disability, and more so the blindness, makes a person static, and takes away dynamism. By dynamism, I mean the ability to sense in real time ever changing surroundings and react to them. For instance, I never thought that in a film song, heroine appears in seventeen different dresses, let alone admiring even one. सादर / With thanks & Regards राजेश आसुदानी Rajesh Asudani सहायक महाप्रबन्धक AGM बाजार आसूचना ईकाई MIU भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक Reserve Bank of India नागपुर Nagpur 0712 2806846 President VIBEWA Co-Moderator VIB-India President DARE-Disability Advocacy, Research and Education A-pilll = Action coupled with Positivity, Interest, Love, Logic and laughter -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Rahul Bajaj Sent: 26 December 2019 01:28 To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.

People may not even realize that they are excluding someone as a potential partner when they actually are.
