Re: [AI] Fwd: from Kiran Bedi and Arvind Kejriwa
Excellent, every loyal, proud and honest citizen of this country was waiting for this day. However, individual fasting in our respective homes would not serve purpose; instead, supportive rallies should be organized in all the states including district and Taluka level. All political parties and other groups should participate in this movement.

Will his fast have any impact on the deaf Government of India? Yes, it certainly would. Because, last time when Anna sat on fast - • 6 corrupt ministers in Maharashtra had to resign • 400 corrupt officers were dismissed from job • 2002 - Maharashtra RTI Act was passed • 2006 - Central Government withdrew its proposal to amend Central RTI Act Now Anna is fasting to demand Jan Lokpal Bill. JAN LOKPAL BILL will act as deterrent and instill fear in the minds of corrupt people. At 78, Anna is not fasting for himself, he is fasting for the future of my kid. I will myself fast on 5th April for a day and ask my 5 year daughter also to skip a meal on 5th April, Rakesh, a software engineer. What can you do? Let the whole nation fast for a day on 5th April and pray for a corruption free India. Collective prayers are very powerful. Let the whole nation pray against corruption, appeals Anna Hazare. Lets reach Jantar Mantar in thousands, in lakhs from 5th April. I will be there - day and night - with Anna. We will all sleep on the roads of Jantar Mantar. Anna's fast can change India's history.

No minister or bureaucrat will be able to influence their investigations.

The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction. How will it help a common citizen: If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant. So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have to get it done in a month’s time. You could also report any case of corruption to Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor quality roads been constructed or panchayat funds being siphoned off.

She and her husband made an interesting sight! People who had come down for dinner stopped in their stride. Her husband on crutches with their baby boy in a sling tied on his chest and she following on her wheelchair. It was endearing, if not anything. And then when she starts talking and you get to know her, you realise she is a bundle of energy with a zeal for disability rights. Her vivaciousness is infectious. Meet Neeta Panchal of Disability Advocacy Group, Gujarat as she shares her story with Dorodi Sharma of D.N.I.S. D.N.I.S.: You acquired your disability when you were barely 17 years old. Can you tell us about the incident? Neeta Panchal: It was during the huge earthquake that ravaged Gujarat on Republic Day in 2001. I was 17 years old at that time and was on my way to school along with 7 other girls. Suddenly, the earth shook. Since we stayed very close to the Pakistan border, we thought that it must be a war that had started. Unknowingly, we rushed into a building to escape what we thought was a bombing, only to realise that the whole building was crumbling down on us. My friends died. I was caught between two of them but somehow I survived. I was trapped in the rubble for more than four hours. When they were pulling me out, I couldn’t feel my legs anymore. D.N.I.S.: How did you overcome the trauma? Neeta Panchal: It wasn’t easy. When the doctors kept telling me that I had been badly injured and that I was paralysed waist down, I was still hopeful. I thought I was in a hospital after all and I would get well soon. Finally after spending more than a year there, I realised that this was serious, that I would not be able to walk ever again in my life. It shook me. I went into depression. At that time I was also engaged to be married. When the boy’s family found out that I had become disabled, they broke off the engagement. I tried to commit suicide twice. Luckily, my family rallied on to get me out of that mindset. My brother especially. He showed me Sudha Chandran’s film called ‘Nache Mayuri’ which is her story about being a dancer despite losing one leg. Slowly, I came out of my depression. I realised that if God has saved my life, He probably had a reason. D.N.I.S.: How did you decide to join the sector? Neeta Panchal: That happened much later. The earthquake had taken a toll on my family. I lost my sister and grandmother. We lost our house and all our belongings. We had nothing. To top that, my family suddenly had to look after me. I did not want to be a burden. So I started a small shop of imitation jewellery and then moved on to open a P.C.O. By this time, I was friends with my disability. In 2004, I participated in the National Para Games in Bangalore and won a silver medal in wheelchair race. In 2006, I won the gold medal in the same event. It was only after I came to Ahmedabad that I entered the disability sector. D.N.I.S.: You have a very interesting love story – almost straight out of a romance novel. Please do share how it all began. Neeta Panchal: Well, Handicap International (H.I.) conducted rehabilitation camps in Kutch after the earthquake – teaching us basic daily activities, etc. I had several surgeries after the earthquake (Neeta has had 22 surgeries till date and calls the operation theatre her ‘home theatre’!). I needed to come to Ahmedabad for one such surgery. I did not know anyone here and my family was also from a very simple background and was not sure about managing things in a big city. I sought H.I.’s help. Parag (Panchal) who works with H.I. was asked to help
Re: [AI] Blind man drives car independently
It is quite an encouraging scenario for American blind community and even for Western world for that matter, but, it is a distant dream for same community in this country. As and when the technology comes to India or, our roads become eligible for that technology, We would have to fight a fierce battle to convince the concerned authorities to issue a driving license to a blind person. Until quite recently, this was the position in L I C that if a sighted person meets with an accident due to his own neglegence, yet he is entitled for accident benefit. Whereas, if a blind person dies in road accident due to the rashness of motorist, he would not get the same benefit. This is the mentality of our society.- Original Message - From: umarluha...@gmail.com To: Accessindia accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 7:36 AM Subject: [AI] Blind man drives car independently Blind man drives car independently. Avoids Dynamic Obstacles. DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Jan. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Federation of the Blind (NFB), the oldest and largest organization of blind people in the nation, announced today that for the first time a blind individual has driven a street vehicle in public without the assistance of a sighted person. Mark Anthony Riccobono, a blind executive who directs technology, research, and education programs for the organization, was behind the wheel of a Ford Escape hybrid equipped with nonvisual technology and successfully navigated 1.5 miles of the road course section of the famed track at the Daytona International Speedway. The historic demonstration was part of pre-race activities leading up to the Rolex 24 At Daytona this morning. Mr. Riccobono not only successfully navigated the several turns of the road course but also avoided obstacles, some of which were stationary and some of which were thrown into his path at random from a van driving in front of him. Later he successfully passed the van without collision. The Ford Escape was equipped with laser range-finding censors that conveyed information to a computer inside the vehicle, allowing it to create and constantly update a three-dimensional map of the road environment. The computer sent directions to vibrating gloves on the driver's hands, indicating which way to steer, and to a vibrating strip on which he was seated, indicating when to speed up, slow down, or stop. Mr. Riccobono said: The NFB's leadership in the Blind Driver Challenge has taken something almost everyone believed was an impossible dream and turned it into reality. It was thrilling for me to be behind the wheel, but even more thrilling to hear the cheers from my blind brothers and sisters in the grandstands* -- today all of the members of the NFB helped drive us forward*. It is for them and for all blind Americans that the National Federation of the Blind undertook this project to show that blind people can do anything that our sighted friends and colleagues can do as long as we have access to information through nonvisual means. Today we have demonstrated that truth to the nation and the world. Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind, said: Just as our colleague Mark Riccobono successfully surmounted many obstacles on the Daytona course today, blind people routinely surmount barriers by using alternative techniques and technologies. When there is not a solution available, we muster our resources and combine them with those of the partners who make common cause with us to produce the innovations necessary to create such a solution. That is how the NFB Blind Driver Challenge came to happen, and that is how we will make all of our dreams come true. The NFB Blind Driver Challenge is a research project of the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute -- the only research and training facility on blindness operated by the blind. The Jernigan Institute challenged universities, technology developers, and other interested innovators to establish NFB Blind Driver Challenge (BDC) teams, in collaboration with the NFB, to build interface technologies that will empower blind people to drive a car independently. The purpose of the NFB Blind Driver Challenge is to stimulate the development of nonvisual interface technology. The Virginia Tech/TORC NFB BDC team, under the direction of Dr. Dennis Hong, director of the Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory at Virginia Tech., is the only team that has accepted the challenge. The team uses the ByWire XGV developed by TORC technologies as the research platform for the development and testing of the nonvisual interface technologies that allow a blind person to drive.

While those with visual impairments may be keen in getting their disability included on UID but those with few other disabilities have not been comfortable in declaring the same on the face of it for the fear of discrimination and other obvious reasons. Another reason that I see is that not all disabilities enumerated in the PWD Act have got benefited from being declared as a Person with disability except few. Thus for them, including it on the UID carries no benefit. On the contrary, they fear this might lead to discrimination.

Shalu hoisted the National Flag and, apart from him, nearly 25 other blind students from the entire state who had won medals in different games were honoured at the event for their achievements. While speaking after the flag hoisting ceremony, Shalu made everyone’s eyes wet when she narrated her story. Shalu said, “My mother is also visually impaired and my father could not tolerate that her newborn daughter was also blind. So at the age of three years, I was turned out of the house along with my mother.” Jaswinder Kaur, mother of Shalu, said that she was married to a truck driver in Kila Raipur and her parents belong to Moga. So after her husband deserted her, she went back to her parents’ place where she started sending her daughter to a normal school. Over the years, Shalu’s grandfather and uncle expired and the family came to know about the vocational rehabilitation centre (VRTC) in Ludhiana. So both shifted in Ludhiana VRTC about five years back where they are living free of cost. Shalu is a class 10 student now while her mother is training as a telephone operator at the centre. Shalu started practising for discus throw and shot put in VRTC. Since 2008, Shalu has been participating in discus throw and shot put and she has won many medals. The most recent one was a bronze medal in Panchkula in the National Games organised by Indian Blind Association. Gurpreet Singh, President of Punjab Sports Association, said, “More than 800 players took part in these games and she won bronze in discus throw.

It accordingly vibrates to provide blind users with navigation cues. “Our Smart Cane also alerts users if a fast-moving object or person is moving towards them,” says Rohan Paul, who created the device along with Dheeraj Mehra, Vaibhav Singh, Ankush Garg. The technology is simple: The cane is equipped with an ultrasonic transducer and a vibrator. The former transmits high-pitched sound waves that get reflected from anything in front of it. Vibrations are then produced to give the blind person an indication that something lies ahead. “Our product will cost Rs 2,000 and we’ve already received calls from interested buyers in India, Kenya, Nepal and Pakistan,” says Paul.

Very informative indee. - Original Message - From: Thanislas vtvint...@gmail.com To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Cc: bs...@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2011 11:49 AM Subject: [AI] Search Engines Hi list Member! Just FYI. Using Search Engines to Find Information on the Web Search Engines Search engines on the World Wide Web are remotely accessible programs that let you do keyword searches for information on the Internet. There are several types of search engines and searches may cover titles of documents, URL's, headers, or full text. Keep in mind that the results you get from one search engine may not match the results you get from another search engine. In fact, they are often different due to the way each search engine behaves. Therefore, it may actually be beneficial to use more than one search engine on a regular basis. In this section, we will briefly look at Google and Yahoo. Web pages are often dynamic and can change at any time. As a result, you may find that if either site changes, your experience with JAWS may be different than what is described. Google.com When you first go to the Google Web site there is a blinking cursor in an edit box where you can type the word or phrase that you are interested in. The first thing you need to do is press the ENTER key to go into Forms Mode with JAWS. Once you are in Forms Mode, you can then type in keywords that will define your search. After you have typed in some text, press ENTER to activate the Search button. Google only returns Web pages that contain all of the words in your query. If you find that you get too many hits or Web pages that match your search, you can enter more words in your search query to narrow the choices. Using good keywords gives you better results. Be as specific as you can. For example, a search for the keyword musicians will yield far more results than a search for the keywords Elvis Presley. You do not need to include and between terms, but the order in which you type your keywords will affect the search results. You can also search for a specific phrase by including words in quotation marks. Google searches are not case sensitive. You can also use the following items within your keywords for Google searches: . + (plus) sign. Causes Google to include common words or characters that Google normally might ignore, such as where and how. If a common word is important in getting the results you want, you can include it by putting a + sign in front of it. (Be sure to include a space before the + sign.) . - (minus) sign. Causes Google to exclude a word from your search. For example, bass can refer to fishing or music. You can exclude music-related hits by searching for bass -music. (Be sure to include a space before the minus sign.) . ~ (tilde) sign. Causes Google to include synonyms of a particular keyword in the search. . OR searches are also supported. Use an uppercase OR between terms. The I'm Feeling LuckyT button takes you directly to the first Web page Google returned for your query. You will not see the other search results at all. For example, to find the home page for Stanford University, simply enter Stanford into the search box and choose the I'm Feeling LuckyT button. Google takes you directly to www.stanford.edu, the official home page of Stanford University. To find listings for a US residence, type any of the following combinations into the Google search box: . first name (or first initial), last name, city (state is optional) . first name (or first initial), last name, state . first name (or first initial), last name, area code . first name (or first initial), last name, zip code . phone number, including area code . last name, city, state . last name, zip code Try a search for Freedom Scientific. Use this link to go to the Google Web site. On the results page, there are a couple of things you can do to get more information about the results of the search: . The statistics of your search are typically placed between the search edit box and the search results. You can press DOWN ARROW a few times to find this line or you can use the JAWS find command CTRL+F to look for the words Personalized Results and then read that line. For example, when testing this the search found Personalized Results 1 - 10 of about 37,700,000 for Freedom Scientific. (0.11 seconds). This can be useful if you need to narrow the search. . The items found as a result of your search are placed on the page as both links and headings. You can press the navigation quick key H to move quickly among the headings that match your search. Since they are also links, you can press ENTER to activate them and move to those Web pages of interest. . Below each heading (and link) that match your search is a short synopsis of what that page is about. After pressing H to move to a heading (link) just press

Photo: Lucy Mathen Opening up new vistas:The Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital team. October was the busiest month for United Nations commemorative days. There were 16 in total, including World Sight Day when representatives from large international organisations gathered in Switzerland to raise awareness about blindness. Meanwhile, rural Bihar, which had the worst blindness problem in the world 10 years ago, is still the place on our planet with the most people unnecessarily blind. The good news is that this state now boasts one of the best success stories related to restoring sight. It involves not just a hospital but entire communities. There is an island in the middle of the Ganga in Bihar known as Sitab-diara. It is one of the most inaccessible places in India, which is why, in the days when kidnapping was rampant in this impoverished and neglected state, victims were kept prisoner on Sitab-diara until their ransoms were paid. Things have changed for the good in Bihar. At least as far as law and order is concerned. Macho men with elaborate moustaches astride galloping horses are still seen on Sitab-diara. But instead of guarding kidnap victims they are now more likely to be contributing to a spectacular campaign to eradicate blindness. This unique project stepped up its action in the weeks leading up to World Sight Day in mid October. Its aim was to cure every single person who was blind from cataract on Sitab-diara and a quarter of all the diara islands in Bihar. Why? Because if blind people in the most inaccessible areas could be reached, then we would all feel more confident of eradicating blindness from the entire state. This project was centred around the Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital. The AJEH is only five years old and located in a tiny village 20 kilometres from an electricity source. But it is now the state's largest eye hospital with two satellite eye units and a formidable outreach programme. It is a minor miracle that the hospital is still functioning. Three months after its establishment, its main financial backer, an international NGO, pulled out of a two year agreement. But with massive community support the hospital was able to survive and now employs hundreds and is aided by hundreds more volunteers. Almost unheard of in rural Bihar, they have managed to recruit and retain a team of highly experienced eye surgeons. The AJEH is run by Kolkata businessman Mritunjay Tiwary whose ancestral village is close to Mastichak, the village in which the hospital is located. The very day the idea of tackling the diara islands was conceived, Tiwary summoned the key outreach workers. Within a few hours they had planned which islands to target, including the once notorious Kidnap Island. They were so excited by the plan that they went out that night to investigate weather conditions. They discovered that some of the diara were still flooded because of monsoon rains so access to them was only possible by wading in neck-deep water! They adapted their plans accordingly. Enthusiastic volunteers Former priest Shashi Kant Dwivedi, who became an outreach worker after his own diara became the very first to be visited by the hospital team, told me: “I can do more good work being an outreach worker than as a priest.” Farmer Awadh Rai, aged 55, was once blind himself. After cataract surgery at the AJEH he became one of their many Protectors of Sight, going from door-to-door collecting patients with sight problems. The Diara Push was a huge success.

Re: [AI] lots of world famous hindi kavi sammelans.
Actually, when I heard all of them 1 by 1, I noticed that each you tube has only 1 poet. I have in fact been looking for you tubes or in audio form wherein you will be able to hear full Kavi samelan. Moreover, these poets whom I heard did not appear to me very standard ones. All of them lacked high quality in their poems. But even if you still wish to listen to the you tubes that Avinash has sent to the list, you can simply open the mail and go on hitting on each link right through the mail itself.

Re: [AI] attestation of LTI's through notary by sebi

Now I would like to draw your kind attention regarding a problem of the persons like me who use LTI to avoid mismatch of signatures. In the banks though the problem has to some extent solved instead of a few instances, but when we use LTI in our demat accounts of for purchasing of mutual funds/bonds the banks demands attestations of LTI's through notaries. No other authorities are valid to attest the LTI including gazzeted officers. In my view it is an unnecessary harassment and unnecessary wastage of money. Because in Delhi the notaries charge RS. 20-50 per attestation. And in forms of mutual funds/bonds there is more than 4-5 signatures. So it costs 100-250 rupees to complete a form. If we go to make some correction like address, spelling of names or email etcetera then also they demands attestation by banks. The bank says the rules has been formed by sebi and they have nothing to do. Now my question is: why the attestation by the gazzeted officers are not valid? Is it not encourages the unfair trade practice by the notaries? is there no option? I think when a person has been introduced by the bank, there is no need of such troublesome process. And I would request my friends to take the matter with the SEBI. Can you help us to take the matter with sebi and try to find out any permanent and acceptable solution? Regards. Yours sincerely, Amarnath De. To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

About fifty delegates from Nagpur and outside actively participated in the convention. Dr. Shirish Deshpande, professor and head department of Post graduate teaching department of Law, Rashtra Sant tukdoji maharaj Nagpur University and himself a Visually challenged, delivered the keyhnote address in the inaugural session. He delineated the importance of political and legal process in improving the life conditions of visually challenged apart from social and economic opportunities. He particularly emphasized the value of access to education and urged the government and civil society to take a holistic approach towards it including accessibility to institutions inform of non discriminatory admissions suitable infrastructure, study material, transport and legitimate assistance. He also called upon all stake holders to contribute actively in formation of a new disability statute. Mr. Neeraj Saksena, Hon. Secretary of BGFI, recounted history of the organization with special emphasis on the proactive and continuing nature of its activities particularly towards personality development of the blind and called upon young generation to continue the legacy for betterment of the blind. Mr. Avinash Sanghvi, the working president of Saksham, declared that there is a synergy among all working in the field of disability and assured to work together in future as well for useful projects. Rajesh Asudani, vice president, delivered the presidential remarks in absence of president Mr. Harish Kotian due to inevitable reasons. The post lunch session was characterized by unmatched vibrancy and interaction. Some technocrats from Pune demonstrated various educational products including much-awaited Hindi Optical character recognition software. It is expected to be available very soon. Mr. David from Vijayawada spoke on how proficiency in language can create various opportunities for visually challenged. Dr. G.H. Asudani, associate professor anandniketan college of agriculture, Warora, brought home the importance of competitive exams and what visually challenged students can and should do to be competitive and succeed at them. Dr. Ram babu from Tata Institute of Social science, Mumbai, depicted the society's response to disability. In his lively and interactive session, he noted the subtle but important transition from apathy and avoidance to curiosity and positivity, crisscrossing with denial and unreasonableness on one hand and due acknowledgement and reasonable behaviour on the other. The first day concluded with an open session where each of the participants had a chance not only to introduce themselves but also to put forth their prime concern as a visually challenged. Mostly, the participants expressed rural-urban divide, economic deprivation in conjunction with disability to be the major inhibiting factor in their life. Need for technology training and personality development along with residential facilities in the city for those coming from suburban and rural areas was felt.

Re: [AI] two things to tell
Yes, I also uphold this view that, list members should avoid sending congratulatory messages or greetings on somebody's birthday or achieving a feat and so on. In fact, when we leave house in the morning, the life is so full of risks that there is no guarantee that we would be able to make it to home safely in the evening. But, when we do, it actually is our new birth. That means, suppose we are 500 members on this list, each of us merits a congratulation for surviving the day. So we would be sending 500 such messages to each other everyday. Secondly, if somebody attains some exceptional feat, list members can express their opinion, offer comments and make suggestions if there are any, but list should not overflow with simply greetings and congrats.Moderator of the list can wish the respective member on behalf of entire group. Of course, those who are so willing, can direct their messages to the personal email I d of that person. - Original Message - From: Sandeep Gautam sandeepgautam.n...@gmail.com To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 7:20 AM Subject: [AI] two things to tell Dear list, some people are again and again discussing about patches and cracks in list despite of several mails from moderator. what are they thinking? is not there any software which can automatically remove such mails from list which contains words like crack or patch without coming to list?

Re: [AI] behaviour of my superior
According to you, helping somebody is a waste of time? Suppose there is a poor man who has a very good ability of doing business. To start with, he needs only RS 100 which he doesn't have. Now as far as you or people like you, will not concede him that amount because your logic is, why should you waste your hard-earned money on him. This gentleman from Pune, only needs somebody to guide him to move around.In the conference he can exhibit his technical expertise thereby making the name of his company. But he can not do this, as long as there are people like his boss and people like you, who think that if he is not independent in moving about, his being a expert technician is useless. Mahesh is only blind but, suppose, there is some scientist of a very high stature, but he has lost his both legs. As per your view, he must never be allowed to attend any seminars or conferences because he would need somebody to push his wheelchair around.

Re: [AI] behaviour of my superior
I don't understand what you are talking. If he is not good at his mobility so what? Only because somebody will have to hold his hand and guide him, he should be deprived of this opportunity? Being not able to move about independently and to be an expert technocrat have no connection whatsoever. - Original Message - From: Geetha Shamanna gee...@millernorbert. To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Friday, September 24, 2010 8:35 PM Subject: Re: [AI] behaviour of my superior Hi Mahesh, Please do not get me wrong for asking you these questions, but how independent are you? Do you travel to work and move around within the office on your own? Do you use a white cane? Do you travel independently outside Pune on your own, be it for official or private purposes? The impression colleagues at work have of us blind people is to a large extent dependent on the way we conduct ourselves. If a blind person requires assistance to move around within the office or to commute to work, colleagues will always assume that blind people are dependent. It is not their fault entirely; that blind person in their office might be the only blind person they have come across in their whole existence. Instead of going to the press and publicising this issue, what is probably required here is for you to have a long and candid talk with your superior and try and convince him that you are capable of looking after yourself during the US trip, and that you will not be excessively dependent on the colleagues traveling with you. You can also ask him to specifically list out his reservations; you can then address them individually. If you have traveled alone previously, tell him how you did so and how independently you dealt with the situation. It won't be easy, but each of us will have to fight this battle on our own. Finally, if he is not sufficiently convinced and does not agree to send you to the conference, do not give up. Whenever opportunities to travel to local conferences or other events within Pune or other parts of India arise, be the first one to apply. He may not be averse to sending you to local events; so make full use of it and try to be as independent as possible during these events. You will then notice how your superior's impression of you changes.

Photo: R. Ragu Kaiser As Kaiser walks through the campus of Ethiraj College for Women, Chennai, she is overcome by a myriad of emotions. The campus is buzzing with activity as the academic year has just started. She walks from her hostel to classroom brimming with confidence and chatting with her friends all the while. Not until she takes the help of a friend to climb a staircase or opens her Braille textbook does one realise that she is visually-challenged. Fifteen years ago, Kaiser would not have imagined that she would step into one of the famous campuses on the road that was a virtual home for her and her mother. Her transformation from being a destitute to an undergraduate student was made possible by two institutions in the city - The Banyan and the Ethiraj College for Women. Kaiser's extraordinary story of transition began in 1997, when Porkodi of The Banyan and its student volunteers rescued Kaiser and her mother from the bus stop near Ethiraj College. Kaiser was blind and her mother was mentally ill. A few months later, we sent her to Little Flower Convent. When she was in Class VII, a surgery was done and after that she can see light and dark. She continues to be partially blind and uses Braille books, says Ms. Porkodi. Kaiser is hardworking, focused and sincere. She had a clear vision about her future, says Vandana Gopikumar, founder of The Banyan. Kaiser made her mentors and well-wishers proud by securing 918 marks out of 1200 in Class XII. Even though Kaiser applied to various colleges in the city, it was Ethiraj College that invited her for admission, and encouraged her to opt for history, says Ms. Gopikumar. In the classroom she attentively listens to lectures and reads Braille textbooks. Our college, especially the history department, is well-equipped to handle and support visually-challenged students as we admit such candidates every year, says M. Thavamani, college principal. Some of Kaiser's service-minded classmates will assist her and also she can use the book-reading software available in the library. Kaiser was keen on doing psychology and later dedicating herself to social work. But as the subject of psychology requires field work which may not be practically possible for her to do, she opted for history. I am happy to have taken up B.A. History. I now plan to study for the IAS examination. It is my dream and I am willing to work very hard to realise my dream, says Kaiser. With her dedication and keen mind, I am sure she will realise her dream one day, says Ms. Gopikumar. Vision is not just a matter of physical ability. As the Kaiser story signifies, it is about determination too. The source taken from The Hindu, Education plus August 2, 2010. -- CHITRADEEPA A. __ Please feel free to pass your

She describes it as her toughest role yet but also says she is exactly like the heroine - a woman who is self-confident, ambitious and never gives up. For me, this role out of all the films that I have done was the most challenging. It's not been easy. It required a lot of focus and concentration. I had to observe a lot of blind people before I could play this role, Deepika said. I think I identify with the character Pinky a lot because Pinky is someone who is extremely self-assured. She is extremely confident, knows exactly what she wants. She is ambitious and she never gives up, which is exactly how I am, she said. This time director Pradeep Sarkar has teamed up with Deepika Neil Nitin Mukesh and a bunch of other actors to narrate the story of a group of youngsters living in the back streets of Mumbai. Releasing Aug 20, it will see Neil playing a boxer who fights blindfolded, while Deepika will be seen as a visually challenged girl who can dance on skates. The biggest challenge was to pretend that I was not seeing. There were no supporting tools like black goggles or a stick with me to make it obvious that I am blind. For example, we friends are sitting together and discussing something and one of them says, 'arre dekh na' and then realises I can't see. Or he removes a glass a bit aside spontaneously not realising I couldn't see that...So everyone had to focus and give a lot of attention all the time while shooting the film, said Deepika. The actress along with other cast and crew spent time with visually challenged people to understand their behavioural nuances and figure out counter actions. It took around six months of reading and interacting. Lots of physical movements I had to get use to. It's like feeling things around you without actually being able to see them. We didn't visit any blind school, but all of us met a lot of blind people... it was not just for me but also very important for Neil and the group of friends I am interacting with in the film, even for 'dada' (Sarkar) to see how it is to interact with the blind. So I think it was a group process for all of us, she said. Deepika says she didn't find it nerve-wracking to do the implausible stunts. As I have been an athlete and a sportsperson before, I think it just makes it much easier and interesting for me. I think to be able to do stunts, you need to be physically fit. It needs a lot of dedication, it needs a lot of control on the kind of food you are eating. So it was a lot of discipline, said Deepika. It's her zeal for sports that gave her the courage to train in scuba diving and sky diving. The skating is something I had to learn for the film, but the scuba diving and this sky diving is something I have done for myself. It's always nice to challenge your limits. I always thought that I was scared of heights until I jumped off a plane. Today when I fly in a plane and look outside, it doesn't feel like anything, said Deepika. After Lafangey Parindey, Deepika has two films - Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey and Break Ke Baad - in queue for release this year. The actress doesn't get bogged down by work pressure; neither does she get jittery by audience expectation. I don't consider it as work pressure, as I enjoy doing it. But I feel very relaxed when I spend my time alone at home after I pack up every day or I speak to my parents and spend time with them. I don't expect people to expect anything. I know I have given it my best. I obviously hope the best for every film, said Deepika.

Further, it is also unhealthy to jump to any conclusions with the scant information we have here. So, let us look at this objectively. 1. Logically, this ATM card should not be any different from any other ATM card. It won't be a separate card that only works with certain ATM machines providing a limited set of services. 2. the only difference is that this card will have extra embedded information that tells an ATM that this user may require speech. If that ATM has a speech feature, it will be enabled automatically. If there is no speech capabilities in an ATM, it will just offer the standard interface. 3. you will have to use headphones for speech features anyway. It would be foolish to have your bank balance read out by a loud speaker. 4. the problem with having a switch to enable and disable speech is that regular sighted users who may not know about speech features and may complain that they are unable to use certain features or their interaction is different for whatever reason. 5. If SBI are indeed restricting the functionality of these specialised ATM cards like not enabling them to be used in other machines in a normal way, it is the most idiotic solution and needs to be resolved.

Re: [AI] Is it time for persons with disability to enter politics?
Besides Advocate Sadhanchandra Guptaa there was 1 more MP whose name was Jamnaprasad Shastri from Mp again that is Madhya pradesh. I don't remember his exact constituency. Secondly, I don't think disability has anything to do with ability of entering in to politics. If 1 thinks that he/she has an attitude, aptitude calibre and strong willpower to do so, I think 1 should definitly take 1 plunge.Naturally, if such people would go to this field they would certainly be able to cater to the needs and problems faced by these so far neglected communities.

Folks: This is in reference to the story below. This raises the curious but difficult question: should persons with disability enter politics in order to influence policy (both the ones that affect them and those that doesn't). I am doing an analytical article on this question and would welcome responses from those in this list and from those with other disabilities outside this list. Kindly pass this around and encourage folks to respond. I have a few questions which I am putting below the story and so pl read the mail fully. *** Britain's first MP with Cerebral Palsy encourages persons with disability to enter politics June 28: The first elected representative to the British Parliament with Cerebral Palsy, possibly the first in the world with that disability, has urged more persons with disability to enter politics. Paul Maynard, elected to the House of Commons last month as a Conservative Party candidate, has said that his presence in the House should provide encouragement for other persons with disability to contest elections and enter Parliament. I just hope that simply my being here, in the House of Commons, people who may be nervous about getting into politics are not put off by any fear of what might happen during the (election) campaign, Maynard, MP from Blackpool North and Cleveleys, told Britain's The Independent newspaper in an interview published on Monday. He also said that he had faced ignorance about his condition from a young age, but had been determined to rise above the taunts. There will always be people who will use it (the disability) against you and you will have to learn to deal with that, Maynard, 34, told the newspaper. Maynard studied in a special school until he was five years old. He was then transferred to mainstream school and went on to obtain a first-class degree from Oxford. He mentioned in his interview that his life was transformed by the early experience he had in the special school. Because my problem was with the thighs, and their muscle development, they would strap you into tight iron callipers for several hours a day. You had nothing to do. So I was doing all my numbering and all my readingfar earlier than most children and very quickly learnt to read and write, which was an unexpected bonus later on, he said. Maynard, who worked as a management consultant before getting a job at the central office of the Conservative Party, had decided to enter politics just weeks before the elections this year. He faced derogatory comments in his constituency after a television interview, in which his slurred speech (due to his disability) was mistaken for drunkenness. He explained about his disability and insisted that it didn't affect his intellectual abilities. He eventually achieved a 7 per cent swing and won by a majority of 2150 votes in his constituency, which was one of the seats the Conservatives rested back from Labour. He had already delivered his maiden speech in the Parliament and has made interventions at the Prime Minister's Question Time, considered an important business t the British Parliament. Britain had David Blunket as the first person with disability as a cabinet minister under Labour, when Tony Blair appointed the visually challenged MP from Sheffield as Home Secretary. *** *** *** (PL mention your full name, designation/office, age , name of the organisation you represent and the city you hail from) 1. Do you think having a politician with disability would make a difference in terms of passing legislations and implementing them? 2. This is more a personal question -Given a chance, would you enter politics? Pl substantiate your answer as to why you would and why you wouldn't make that choice? 3. What do you think r the advantages and disadvantages of being a politician with disability? Are these (advantages and disadvantages) the reason that influence your choice to enter or not to enter politics? 4. Are 'politicians with disability' the need of the hour? Do you have personal choices amongst the present crop of activists who would make good politicians (ignore it if you are not comfortable answering this part of the question). 5. What

One such ad, for a TV drama Shorr... Goongi Kankoo Ki Bolti Kahani on SaharaOne, shows the protagonist as a mute girl in a bridal outfit, with a tagline 'Kyun karega koi goongi se shaadi' (Why would anyone marry a mute girl?) uses the term goongi, considered an insult. The ad for Sony TV's Maan Rahe Tera Pitaah, uses the phrase mad man to describe the mentally challenged father of the protagonist. Activists are threatening legal action. Such regressive ads are not acceptable We will lodge an official complaint with the IB Ministry... We have an archaic law, the Disability Law of 1995, which needs urgent amendment..., said Javed Abidi, convenor, Disabled Rights Group. Uma Kapoor, secretary of NGO Delhi Foundation of Deaf Women, and a mute and deaf person, wrote in an email, We have seen inappropriate terms being used by channels to describe disability conditions The serials are made with a positive approach, but their promotion should not reflect roughly on the physically/mentally disabled characters. Ad professionals too are shocked. Ad Guru Alyque Padmsee said, Ad writers today do anything to be sensational... Though I am anti-censorship, I urge the producers of these serials to reconsider their ads... The channels say such ads are part of the marketing strategy. In our show, the lead actress cannot speak, and so we have used it in the ad. But the story is positive and not regressive, says Sheetal Ladha, Sahara One Television.

Re: [AI] Making it to MIT against odds
Very encouraging and inspiring indeed. - Original Message - From: Renuka Warrier eren...@gmail.com To: access india accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Monday, June 21, 2010 6:21 AM Subject: [AI] Making it to MIT against odds Date:21/06/2010 URL: http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/edu/2010/06/21/stories/2010062150460400.htm _ Link: Education Plus Making it to MIT against odds YOGENDRA KALAVALAPALLI Bolla Srikanth, a visually-challenged boy, is currently pursuing his Bachelor of Sciences at the university PHOTO: NAGARA GOPAL Winner: Bolla Srikanth in conversation with National Trust Chairperson Poonam Natarajan during the inaugural function of Abilities Mela 2010 in Secunderabad. Bolla Srikanth was barely few years old when many in his community counselled his parents to abandon him. The pressure was heavy on his illiterate parents, a farmer father and housewife mother, but they never yielded. Had they heeded their advice, the world would have been minus one inspiring story today. From a small village Sitaramapuram near Machlipatnam town in Krishna district in Andhra Pradesh, this visually-challenged boy has made it to the portals of the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. The 18-year-old is currently pursuing his Bachelor of Sciences in Brain and Cognitive Science, Business Management and Computer Science at the university. Though they are illiterate, both of them had a strong will to get me educated. This inspired me, he says. Shortly after, about 13 years ago, an uncle of his enrolled him in Devnar School for the Blind in Hyderabad, and life took a different spin for Srikanth. I didn't know anything when I joined school. I was like a rural introvert. I learned everything, I picked up English. I joined community service. Now, I have occupied a place in the society where people are respecting me, he says. It has been a long journey. From being a rural introvert, Srikanth went on to secure 92 per cent in the Class X Board Examinations and was a two-time recipient of Pratibha Awards given by the Andhra Pradesh government for students who excel in public examinations every year. He also received a citation for outstanding community service as Youth Leader in Lead India 2020 from former President APJ Abdul Kalam and was a national chess player playing against the likes of Koneru Humpy. Intermediate was next and he wanted to take up the Maths, Physics, Chemistry stream to be eligible to study engineering. But a disinclined officialdom was not encouraging. When I visited the offices for the first time, they asked me to get away. Even an IAS officer was not able to realise the potential of blind persons, he recollects. After a lot of trouble, Srikanth finally managed to enrol himself for the MPC stream at a private college, a good three months after the classes began. He went on to secure an aggregate percentage of 93 at the end of two years. Challenges persisted still. When I wanted to prepare for IIT, one coaching centre told me straightaway I was not fit to join them. Another top institute in the country did not even bother to respond to his application. I didn't even get my hall ticket. I was not even allowed to write AIEEE. But, I was not disturbed because I was focussed on my goal and I wanted to study sciences. Guided by his mentors Swarnalatha, teacher at Devnar School for the Blind, and G. Ravishankar, a software consultant in the U.S., Srikanth realised his ambition of studying at MIT. Only 120 seats are open to international students for which students from 70 countries in the world compete, he says proudly of his admission that came with a US $ 49,000 scholarship. My mentor Swarnalatha was like a backbone to me in whatever I did so far. She has worked harder than me. She was by his side throughout: fighting for him, managing his study expenses, recording material for him to study easily and even lodging him in her house during initial days of his Intermediate. Mr. Ravishankar, whom Srikanth met during an international conference at Indian School of Business, helped him apply to different universities abroad. Because I was a special student, we had to fill up some special forms. He also worked really hard with me for six months. Even now he is in contact and helps me with whatever I want. Persons with disabilities, he says, suffer from lack of exposure and lack of opportunities. You have to see where you stand in the society, not as a visually-challenged person but as a human being. He sings paeans about U.S. The university is very helpful. They have so many resources. People don't show sympathy there. In fact they provide you opportunities. He has already finished two semesters at the university (scoring 5/5 GPA) and currently is interning with GE in Hyderabad. Srikanth is keen on entrepreneurship and

Method 1: Flight mode: Put your phone in Flight mode with Psiloc System Tools. Install System Tools, open it and select Flight mode. This way you can restart the phone without your SIM card so there will be no running phone tasks in the background. Now you can have up to 3,5 MB of free RAM! Note: ironically enough, Flight mode doesn't work when Smart Launcher is installed, at least in my case. But i've also heard several reports of people who have both apps running without any problems. Method 2: Smart Launcher trick: Install Smart Launcher and open it. Go to Options, Settings and put Launcher ON. Now plug in your charger and switch off your phone. Wait until the battery meter appears and short press the Menu button (don't hold). The menu should appear and now you can have 3,5 to 4,5 MB free RAM! (Hold Menu button to check RAM). The trick is that with the charger plugged in, the phone must get a minimum software support for charging, even when the phone is switched off. And somehow Smart Launcher has still got it's shortcut running and that's the Menu button. So when you press the Menu button, you go directly to the Menu without any other phone tasks running in the background so you trick the phone and you have more free RAM! Note: when you unplug the charger, the phone will switch off. Method 3: Menu : This method I found it by myself, it frees a little about 100~200 KB but I guess it's useful sometime

Latest update after Swiss Bank has agreed to disclose the funds. Our Indians' Money - 70, 00,000 Crores Rupees In Swiss Bank 1) Yes, 70 lakhs crores rupees of India are lying in Switzerland banks. This is the highest amount lying outside any country, from amongst 180 countries of the world, as if India is the champion of Black Money. 2) Swiss Government has officially written to Indian Government that they are willing to inform the details of holders of 70 lakh crore rupees in their Banks, if Indian Government officially asks them. 3) On 22-5-08, this news has already been published in The Times of India and other Newspapers based on Swiss Government's official letter to Indian Government. 4) But the Indian Government has not sent any official enquiry to Switzerland for details of money which has been sent outside India between 1947 to 2008.. The opposition party is also equally not interested in doing so because most of the amount is owned by politicians and it is every Indian's money. 5) This money belongs to our country. From these funds we can repay 13 times of our country's foreign debt. The interest alone can take care of the Center s yearly budget. People need not pay any taxes and we can pay Rs. 1 lakh to each of 45 crore poor families. 6) Let us imagine, if Swiss Bank is holding Rs. 70 lakh Crores, then how much money is lying in other 69 Banks? How much they have deprived the Indian people? Just think, if the Account holder dies, the bank becomes the owner of the funds in his account. 7) Are these people totally ignorant about the philosophy of Karma? What will this ill-gotten wealth do to them and their families when they own/use such money, generated out of corruption and exploitation? 8) Indian people have read and have known about these facts. But the helpless people have neither time nor inclination to do anything in the matter. This is like a new freedom struggle and we will have to fight this. 9) This money is the result of our sweat and blood.. The wealth generated and earned after putting in lots of mental and physical efforts by Indian people must be brought back to our country. 10) As a service to our motherland and your contribution to this struggle, please circulate at least 10 copies of this note amongst your friends and relatives and convert it into a mass movement.
