Dear friends, Sharing with you a blog post written by me on Annual Sports organised recently by Paschimbanga Rajya Pratibandhi Sammelani. "West Bengal rarely gets to see leaders from CPI(M), Trinamool Congress, and the BJP all together at the same place, and one does hope that such camaraderie will bring in much-needed changes to the lives of disabled people of West Bengal. >From the implementation of the newly enacted Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act to any existing policies for the disabled, the need of political will to improve lives of disabled is important." http://www.thebetterindia.com/88918/3000-participants-50- events-celebrate-spirit-parasports/ Looking forward to your comments.

Re: [AI] Today on the Sexuality and Disability blog
all your points make sense Shireen, when in a situation you've mentioned. this specific incident mentioned here was not conducive to most of what you've suggested. yes, in other situations they could definitely be adopted, but when in the situation i've mentioned, not many have the time or inclination to see much beyond themselves. or maybe i was dealing with a particularly reticent group. the dynamic changes when in a group. why, i am still to understand. the getting up from the seat is something a lot of us do i think. my main concern here is the absence of initiative to even try. i get the absence of eye contact bit being a problem, but there are definitely other ways to combat that i'm sure.

Re: [AI] Today on the Sexuality and Disability blog
since Avinash has invited a discussion on this, here are my 2 bits on a few possible, but not necessarily optimal, solutions: of course what Payal went through is very real, and these tips are not in any way, a counter to her experience. these are just a few pointers off the top of my head that may help some1 in a particular situation, , a lot of which u all may already be aware of. 1. if i know that a particular person is going to be in the same social gathering as myself, whether from work, friends, or family members, i'd ask them a day in advance, if they'd be ok to be with me during that gathering, and accompany me during meals, etc. if i can ask more than 1 person, nothing like it. i could even divide the time, spend it half with 1 accompanist, and the other half with the other. often when the accompanist realises that he/she was not the only option, they are more eager/ willing to accompany. 2. if i'm on the same table with a group of people, and if every1 is part of a single conversation, then i too will proactively participate in that conversation, even if i am not asked something directly. i'd of course hope that i say something remotely sensible/ interesting enough for people to take notice of me, and realise that here is also a person at the table, equally part of the group. its not always possible, but it is just 1, among many strategies to use when feasible. 3. sometimes, i can be the initiator of a conversation at the table. by making some general statement about the food, or the function, something mostly positive, to which other people may be likely to respond. e.g. this biryani is really awesome! or, has any1 tried the dessert yet? 4. if i know that a particular person is sitting somewhere near me, then i can call out to her and start off a conversation for every1 to hear. e.g. Payal, i read your latest blog. it was wonderfully written! this is surely a good conversation starter, and there's very little chance that people will ignore me after that. at least not till the end of that particular conversation. of course, people sitting immediately next to me would be the simplest to start chatting to, but those conversations may not reach the rest of the group. 6. this last 1 may not be very appealing to many, but it has worked for me. if i want something and there's no1 around to call, i just get up off the chair and start walking towards nowhere. this is almost always likely for some1 to notice me and offer to help. smile. 7. i could also inform the main organiser/ host of the event, to arrange for some1 to be with me during the program and accompany me throughout. i think that often its not that people don't want to help. they just avoid it because they don't know how to initiate/ interact with the likes of us. in such cases, and from all the above points, the main thing to take home is that for better for worse, we are the ones who need to give them that slight nudge/ push, to engage/ interact with us. sadly, people haven't reached that level of sensibility yet, for them to not feel awkward around us. i in fact was reading about this just this morning. don't remember where. that children usually never find it difficult to come forward and initiate an interaction with us. it is the adults. who start building these walls as they become less sure of their own selves. and thereby, less sure of the "others". in quotation marks. so as long as we're the first to extend a hand, we can hope that we've done our bit and that the ball is no longer in our court.

Hi Niharika, An interesting post. I was trying to comment on the post to add my experience but could not. The comments section on your Website is inaccessible for me with firefox and both nvda and jaws. It is very hard to get to the editable area with jaws and with both nvda and jaws, I am unable to read what I am typing as a comment or to edit it.

[AI] Korea Herald reports: History of guide dogs for the blind
er plays with guide dogs during a break at Samsung Guide Dog School in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. (Samsung Guide Dog School) The relationship between dogs and blind people dates back to ancient times. But its modern history began after the World War I when a German doctor trained them to help thousands of soldiers who lost their vision. http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=2013083700 The world’s first training center was established in Potsdam, Germany, in 1921 and then other cities in the country as people began to learn about dogs’ ability to guide the blind. But the guide dog movement expanded internationally through a wealthy American woman named Dorothy Harrison Eustis. She was already training dogs for the army, police and customs service in Switzerland but became interested in dogs for the blind after she heard about the successful venture in Potsdam. With her own experience in training dogs and apparently with her fortune, she established The Seeing Eye, the world’s first school dedicated to training guide dogs, in the United States in 1929. The guide dog movement reached Britain in 1930 and expanded quickly all over the country. Britain remains the center of the guide dog industry today. Trainer Hong A-reum orders Muroo, a guide dog candidate, to find a ticket gate at Sunae Station in Bundang, Gyeonggi Province, Monday. (Lee Sang-sub/The Korea Herald) In 1973, training schools in Europe agreed to set up an international body in Reading, England, to standardize guidelines for the training of dogs and to teach blind people how to use them. The International Guide Dog Federation plays a pivotal role in exchanging and promoting good practice in the breeding and training of dogs as well as the education of their owners. The organization currently has over 80 members from 36 countries. Samsung Guide Dog School for the Blind is the only Korean training center registered as an IGDF member since 1999. Japan introduced its first guide dog in 1957. The first guide dog user in Korea was Lim An-soo, a professor at Daegu University, who brought a shepherd Sarah from the United States in 1972. There were a number of cases of guide dogs adopted from overseas after Lim. But the guide dog movement in Korea came later in 1993, when electronics giant Samsung jumped into the animal welfare program and started to promote public awareness of canine companionship. Currently, there are about 10,000 guide dogs working in the United States, 5,000 in the United Kingdom and 1,000 in Japan. Korea has 60 guide dogs, all trained by Samsung.

Re: [AI] Today on the Sexuality and Disability blog
While recounting her own experience from a professional gathering, She flags off a burning issue; why people remain indifferent towards blind people. This could set a tone for further deliberation. She felt alone when nobody turned up to offer her assistance to have a dignified meal. She felt unpleasant cause people talked at her not to her. What are the solutions we could offer in similar situations to us and our fellow beings? we also go to attend marriages, parties, and clubs. Many amongst us probably skip such gatherings due to ensuing indignities awaiting them. This post provokes me to ponder upon what could be prospective solutions: Is accompanying sighted to such gathering if not invited morally justified? or demanding right to have meal in dignified manner from the organisers is a way out? or in a conference or in a seminar; just striking a conversation with a stranger solely to get food is a smart strategy.

Re: [AI] sharing from another list: blind woman breaks off marriage when asked to quit her music career.
Though I don't understand Malayalam and Tamil, I listen her songs on
Youtube. She is simply melodious. I wonder why she and her family
chose to marry with someone who is unemployed, less educated and
doesn't suit her stature. Her decision to call off her marriage with
him is not less than a good riddance for her. Listen her live how she
stunts Shriya Ghoshal.
