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. I expect the Access Indians will take the conversation further. The URL is pasted below. http://blog.sexualityanddisability.org/2017/02/im-blind-not-invisible/
