Dear Ravi, 1. There is no need for sarcasim or rudeness on this list. 2. It does matter to Kiran and others like me on this list to get to know you better and maybe become friends in the future. One of the things I want to know is whether you are visually challenged or not since I cant see you myself I might as well ask . 3. As far as being interested is concerned I dont think it means "I am a blind". It just shows that you are not meeting enough people from the sighted world who are interested. therefore Kiran has a valid question. 4. The answer Kiran gave you was very logical. Too many visually challenged people work on topics which concern the visually challenged. we have to show our knowledge and enhance it on topics that concern the world and which will better our prospects. It is your decision but the topic will form a part of your cv for life. You were given meere advice it is for you to take it or not. 5. Just for your information there are several members of Accessindia who are not visually challenged. I can give you 2 names out of the top of my hat- Col. Kapoor from Delhi and Suhas Kelkar from Mumbai.
I'd like to end this mail by simply introducing you and other new members of this list to Kiran. Kiran Kajja is the founder of this group which we cherish so much. he moderated Accessindia for several years until his job constrained him. For Several years Kiran was a very successful entrepreneur in Hyderabad and at present he works for a very famous software-business solutions company in Bangalore. Best of luck for your assignment.
