Well, I could not understand the long list of names at the end. Is it your family lineage?
Coming to the point, yes your concern is perfectly valid. Often have I found that depending on somebody leads to comprimising our will to the will of the dependee. In such situation, the challenge is to assert ourselves without getting aggressive and clarify that who is in the control of the situation. It is perhaps easier when the help is hired than when help is voluntery or more so when help is from our family... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mohit Shah Shah Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2012 10:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AI] A question, which is not really a question Hi all, First of all, let me take this opportunity to wish you a very happy half year. Now, I'd like to ask a question which may not appear to be of much importance, but which makes a lot of difference to me at least. As I am sure many of you know, I go to college and to other public places with the help of my driver who acts as my sighted escort. While this method works perfectly, I've often encountered one flaw in the plan, so to speak. As soon as my class gets over, my escort comes and takes me to our car for going home. Similarly, when we go out somewhere, my driver comes to pick me up as soon as I come out with my friends from that place. So, because of this what happens is that my friends get to chat and have fun even after the class, while I miss all the fun because my escort picks me up immediately after the work that we went for is over. One possible solution could be to ask my friends to drop me to my car, but they also drop me immediately after we're done and continue talking away and making merry afterwards. So, how can I ask my friends to not drop me immediately to my car considering that I don't have a really concrete reason for hanging on in the first place? What should I ask my escort to do in these cases? This is often a source of a little bit of annoyance for me and leaves, you know, a sour taste, so to speak as I don't properly get to say goodbye to my friends after having had such a great time. Plus, it might even make them feel that I'm a nerd and don't wish to socialize. Please answer this question as earnestly and sincerely as you can because what might seem like a petty thing to you might mean a lot to someone else. I am yours most sincerely, Mohit, Gopalkrishna, Sarvapali, Mahindra, Vishwakumar, Sarmprasad, Shah :P Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
