If you are blind or not, should not matter at all!! Madam there is a gulf of difference between what is and what ought to be...
And why not? I am blind. It should matter for my spouse.... very much..... -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Preeti Monga Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2014 2:37 PM To: 'AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.' Subject: Re: [AI] . Re: my quriyocity are normelpeopleintrestedinmarryingblindpartners Dear Ishita, Why so pessimistic my dear? I am not trying to motivate you or anyone else. I am just stating facts. First of all where did you get the idea that anyone should marry us blind women for charity purpose! Not at all! But I am not blaming you for thinking like that. These are normal thoughts we Indians are conditioned to believe. You may not want to marry a person without hands or legs, that is perfectly up to you. It is OK if you feel like that. The point we are trying to make here is, that it need not be blindness that determines the criterion for marriage, it is the person in totality that matters. Your skills, personality, talents, values and what you have to offer by way of warmth, love, commitment and friendship that should matter. If you are blind or not, should not matter at all. Now, I have no sight at all, and I know that no one wants to marry blind women, not even blind men prefer to marry us! But, having said that, I wish to tell you that there are some very wonderful marriages that have happened for blind women with sighted non disabled men. And when you look at these cases, it is very encouraging and motivating. Maybe, if more of us share our positive experiences, young intelligent women like you may look at this subject differently. Let us together discover what we need to do to become desirable and sought after life partners for good men, sighted or not. Where do you live? Can you come on the 3rd August for the Fusion meet? If so, do make it,. If not anything else, we will have an opportunity to meet and get to know each other. You come across to be a wonderful young woman, and I am sure you have countless excellent hidden talents and attributes that are not visible to you. Let us together learn to discover ourselves; thereafter develop our hidden potentials and give away much more of ourselves to this beautiful world. We can continue to grow in every way; and carve out a great life for us!

Subject: Re: [AI] . Re: my quriyocity are normelpeopleintrestedinmarryingblindpartners I have found the argument of bhavani sir more realistic. Preety madam, if your aim is just to motivate us then your points are valid. I have 40 percent vision. And if I lose it no sighted person will even think to marry me even in dream unless he has social or economical problems. In that case a guy will marry me if he won’t get proper match rather any girl in able bodied world, Or if I can offer him lots of money if he is poor Or I have nice job and he has no earning capacity. Otherwise no sighted person will marry me just for the sake of charity. And I don’t have any bitter feeling for this belief. Because everyone has right to choose a life partner who is equal in all aspects I can’t marry with the guy who doesn’t have both arms and both legs. The same way I shouldn’t expect such charity from any able bodied man. And yes I won’t get promotion if I ask my boss to touch his clothes by saying: sir log kafi tariff kar rahe hai chalo mai bhi chhoo ke dekhu to tariff kar saku. I don’t have much experience but still I would like to advice all youngsters that please don’t do this. Don’t ask anyone that: sir ya madam mai apke kapde dekhna chahta hun ya chahti hun.
