[AI] Call for contributions
Dear all, we would like to bring an anthology of poetry and short stories written by visually challenged writers and poems and short stories which imply theme of visual impairment by non visually challenged writers. Here is the URL for the info: http://nivasini.com/guidelines-to-submit-for-celebrating-india-from-the-eyes-of-the-nonsighted/ I am pasting the URL info here: Literature is one of the potential communications to define resistance. Literature from neglected communities have rapidly risen up in the recent times, making their voices resounded in the mainstream literary cannon. At this context, Nivasini Publishers is seeking submissions for a book titled “The World I Write In: Anthology of Poems and Short Stories by Visually Challenged Writers” which will completely focus on literature of the visually challenged and for the visually challenged. The representation of visual impairment by non visually impaired writers in the oppressing or celebratory terms is present from a long time. But, voicing one’s own experience of disability, resisting the stereotypical metaphors associated with visual impairment constitute many powerful poems and short stories. The proposed anthology aims to present those poems and short stories written by visually challenged writers from India. To be considered for the publication in the anthology: 1. Visually challenged writers or writers who employ visually challenged people as central characters from India should send their submissions in a Microsoft word attachment to mailnivas...@gmail.com on or before the august 30, 2015 (Indian Time). 2. One / three poems or short stories around three thousand words on any theme will be considered for publication. Translations with the copyright permission from the original author will be considered. Previously unpublished works are preferred. 3. The anthology would strictly be focused on the genres of poetry and short stories to emphasize on creativity as a way of highlighting the literary merit of the visually challenged writers, with the aim of contributing to the larger discourse on Disability Literature in India. Hence personal memoirs, nonfiction essays or other genres of writing will not be considered. 4. The book will be available in digital and print format, the contributors will be given a digital copy. We accept stories/poems from writers who are not visually challenged too. However, as mentioned the central character or the theme should be around nonsighted people (partial/complete). The editors of this anthology are Niverdita Narsapuram and Jyothsnaphanija. Nivedita Narsapuram has cofounded Nivasini Publications. She has worked with Thomson Reuters and is currently working towards Nivasini’s new initiative: Wribel. A freelance journalist, her published poems and stories are archived at: nnivedita.com. Jyothsna Phanija is a PhD research scholar in English Literature at EFL University, Hyderabad, India. She writes poetry, short stories, research articles and book reviews. Her poetry and short stories have been published in many national and international journals. She blogs at: phanija.wordpress.com Please circulate the info. We are eagerly looking forward for your submissions. Thanks, Jyothsnaphanija.

[AI] Requesting for suggestions for an essay on Indian poets with disabilities
Dear all, I will be writing an essay "Reading Loop" for the December issue of Wordgathering: A Journal of Disability Poetry. For that, I am asked to work on disabled poets in India. I will be very thankful if you could suggest Indian poets with disabilities, whose contribution to the literature and disability aesthetics is remarkable. The idea as the editor Michael Northen conceived is to have American readers being introduced to the disabled poets in India. Please message to my mail ID jyothsnaphan...@gmail.com or phanija.literat...@gmail.com the name, works, and English translations if available about the disabled poets. Thank you, Jyothsna. -- Jyothsnaphanija, PhD research scholar, Department of English Literature, English & Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad, India.

[AI] some doubts in Braille
Hi, I strongly feel that, learning Braille would help us not only for the corporate world, but for any field. . Can easily take note of only what is important in the class, can learn foreign language in using the spelling and pronunciation in your mother tongue for proficiency in that particular language, can do any calculation or translation which was given as a part of class work by reading and writing at the same time and reading for the class teacher, can be useful for writing musical notations, can be useful for writers for jotting down their thoughts immediately, can skip pages sooner than computer by giving some indications, can increase the sense of touch, and can do many more things. We can do these things with technology, but why Braille is to save our time, make us more independent and confident, so no second thoughts about learning Braille. If people have no opportunity of learning, they can use technology. But, when we have the opportunity of learning, I think, it’s the best decision. I have seen few visually impaired friends feeling shy of using Braille in class; I feel that, that attitude never give what we want. All the best for your learning. -- Jyothsnaphanija, PhD research scholar, Department of English Literature, English & Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad, India.

[AI] about e-book
i think one of the best ways to find a book is to search in google with proper key word for eg. sound shadows by Ved Mehta / pdf google would try giving list of sights where this book is available. this method works best for accessing other researcher's thesis across the world which would be helpful for our own research.
