Well done buddy, What I like the most is you did not trigger the leveling incident. The opportunity came to you through your prof and with modest courage you did it beautifully.
The subtle difference in passing our message of equity lies exactly there. Many times, our VI friends too strong in voicing this equitable treatment opinion. However, we are then sometimes looked upon as stubborn and touchy Example, In a buffet, we can’t voice our right of getting a special attention or chairs for having food sitting. The manager looks at you as not Ekinath, but VI. Therefore, he will always be looking to avoid VI customers. Same with auto drivers, one bad incident with a particular VI guy and he will think all VIs are the same? All VIs can’t pay or they want to be dropped at the door step with out any extra fare. So I am very happy the way you did it. Beautifully conveyed. ~Cheers Sometimes convincing helps than enlightening On 7/10/12, Mohit Shah Shah <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Today, an extremely interesting incident happened in college which I > believe might be worth sharing. > After one lecture got over, I went out of the class with my friends > just to get a bit of fresh air. > And we were just conversing outside when the class started. > We did not know that it had started, and as soon as we found out that > it had started, we rushed in. > All those who were late in class (Almost 95% of the total population > :P) were asked by the teacher to stand throughout the period as a > punishment. > She called me and my friends as well, and I stood with the rest for a > few minutes. > Then, she asked me to go and sit at my place. > I initially resisted weakly saying that I could stand as well, but she > said she would talk to the others and asked me to go. > The period went on. > But my conscience did not permit me to watch others standing while I > was sitting when even I had done the same thing. > Moreover, if there's something I hate, it's sympathy. > I initially tried to convince myself by thinking that she had done it > because I am considered to be an exceptionally sincere and intelligent > student, but I somehow felt that I was only fooling myself. > > 5-10 minutes after she asked me to sit, I stood up and told her that, > since I was equally involved with the others, it would only be fair if > I, too, would be made to suffer the same punishment. > I said that we should all follow the same rules.
