Friends As the trailing mail told you yesterday, a totally blind girl in Nagpur has secured 93.45% in SSC. She has studied in an english medium school for sighted, where they agreed to retain her when we intervened at the time of her loosing her sight about four years back. She has given her school exams through computer. Now, I think she should study science in her twelfth and should take up any challenging career of her choice. So, I would like to know: Are there any guidelines for practicals in twelfth science issued by maharashtra board of secondary and higher secondary education? If, yes, please anybody provide them.
Any overview of careers for a totally blind student after twelfth science? Provided one has spirit to take up challenges?

Today Bhakti, who is from Mount Carmel<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Mount-Carmel> (Ajni branch) has topped the city in the visually handicapped category with 93.45%, a score which would rival even the best in the general category. Said Bhakti: "I learnt Braille in Std VI and later studied computer operations. With the help of Jawa software I read and studied all the course material. I also used Abrar which is a recorder to study languages. My home tutors have helped me a lot to clear my doubts. My motto in life has been 'your efforts may fail but don't fail to make efforts'." There were minor irritants along the way as well such as power failure. When her computer failed, Bhakti was helpless. "But that is all part of life I guess, we all have our major and minor problems. I feel that the computer is a very useful gadget and everyone should be updated with the latest technology," she said. For strength through tough times, she relied on Yoga and thanked her teacher Rambhau Khandwe. Bhakti wants to become an IAS officer and is determined to emerge successful in life. Hardworking sajmeen silences odds NAGPUR: Sejmeen Panjwani's score of 90.91% may not appear to be a great achievement initially, but when one considers that she is a student of the Deaf and Dumb Industrial Institute<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Deaf-and-Dumb-Industrial-Institute>, Shankar Nagar, the significance of her achievement is realized. A hardworking student, Sejmeen is an absolutely 'no nonsense' girl who devotes most of her time to studies. "She has a thirst for knowledge and is very persistent. If she wants to know something, she will pester the teacher till the time she has been told what she wants to know," said Kamal Waghmare, supervisor, who has known Sejmeen since her childhood. Sejmeen comes across as a determined person in the face of the adversities that engulf her life. Her parents and elder sister are also deaf and mute. Her father works at his brother's shoe shop and earns a meagre livelihood. In spite of all this, Sejmeen has a practical approach to life and takes everything in her stride as it comes. She says through her interpreter that she wants to pursue commerce studies. As her school does not provide commerce as a stream in Std XI and XII, she will be required to attend a regular college. Asked whether she is worried about the difficulties this could pose, she says that she will join special classes and then tackle problems as they come. Her parents don't know about her success as she can't phone them and they wouldn't understand text messages. "I will tell them once I get home," she says calmly through her interpreter.
