A great achievement really, Congratulations!
I would just like to add here that Asif was my first computer teacher when
he was a student at St. Xavier's College, Kolkata and I was already 11 years
in service. I was astonished how he could work on computer listening to a
mechanical voice. Now he is well placed in Price Water House.
Hope to hear more on Asif in future.
With best regards,
Amiyo Biswas

Hi all,
I have been running for almost five years now. I began my running
journey by holding on to elbow. I was extreamely overweight 108kg and
now I am 83kg. When I used to walk I would always hear people
practicing for marathon and that excited me. I initially used to hold
elebow but one of my close friend taught me to run by myself and jusst
rely on voice guidance. I run along with fellow runner who is running
with me at the same speed and tells me right, slight left or right,
bad patch of road, speed bump. I am happy to let you all know that
last Sunday I had completed half marathon (21kM) only on voice
guidance. I am also applying to limca books of record as I know this
may be the first of it's kind to run as blind only on voice guidance.
Taking the liberty of sharing my recent social media post.

Wishing all of you happy & colourful Holi!!!
Proud to let you know that today I completed half marathon (21km)
13.05 miles in 3hr12min as part of first official marathon organized
by Ageas Federal insurance. It was difficult, challenging and last 2km
(1.24miles) I wanted to abort my mission but grateful to Daybed Mondal
and Prakash Singh sir who issued verbal instructions. For many of
you, it may not be a big deal but for me running as blind person
without holding elbow and running just on voice guidance indeed is an
achievement for me. I am also applying for Limca books of records for
being the first blind runner to run half marathon on voice guidance
and zero touch. My sincere thanks to family, Amit Ghosh, our gym
trainer and jBro from NAV sports for facilitating my personal
achievement.
Stay fit and hope you are inspired to adopt healthy living.
