the last access india convention is a memorable day in my life. other than meeting many people and sharing their experience, i had a very strange but memorable experience. The conference was progressing with its intellectual and technological discourses. in the post lunch session it was Kiran Kaja's presentation on Mobile devices for the visually challenged. almost at 3 pm, i went out of the hall in search of a toilet. After some inquiries i reached there. as usual i got in and locked the room. there is nothing unusual till now. but the miracle happened when i wanted to come out. as i tried to open the door, it was not coming. it had a different kind of lock which could be operated from both the sides. i hadn't feel any speciality as i felt the lock before locking it, otherwise i would not have locked it. as i couldn't open it after struggling for sometime, i called some of my friends on phone and told them my bad luck. they all rushed to the sport and started giving me instructions on how to open the door. the wrong suggestions given them and my unnecessary hastiness made the situation worse. at last when the room boy came, the lock was not in an open condition. The bathroom was in the first floor of the building. Since it had no windows, the walls were made of glass. The scorching sunlight coming through the walls and my own inner turmoil made me feel like being in an oven. in the end they decided to break the lock. the interesting thing was not all that. things were not so easy as i had imagined. even after breaking the lock they couldn't open it. meanwhile i heard someone saying that they wanted to see my face at that situation. at last when the door got opened, i had already spent more than 45 minutes in that chamber. i felt very grateful to the expert who opened the door. i will never forget this day. sometimes technology can cause us such enigmatic traps also. regards
