Hi, @Geetha, Thanks for your response. Are you referring to the book called 'Abilities Redefined' published by AICB in 2005/2006 containing short biographies of 40 blind people in India doing well in their professional & personal lives?
@Mukesh, we have downloaded the book and will go through it. Thanks for sharing. Does anyone know if career counsellors refer to some book/reading resource? thanks, Pranay Gadodia | Programme Manager Project Eyeway - A knowledge resource for living a fuller life with vision loss C/o Score Foundation, 17/107, Basement, Vikram Vihar, Lajpatnagar 4, New Delhi 110024, INDIA.
