Firstly, heartiest congratulations to you for your achievement.

But there’re few observations that caught my attention and I would
like to point it out here, of course with no intention of offending
anybody!

*However many achievements we may have, would we be able to Thank God
really for our disability?

*And getting concessions based on our disability everywhere shouldn’t
make us feel proud I feel!

Regards,
Shraddha.

Hi,
well said!!!, A very new approach towards life. I will like to add
that if you want to proud for being divyang, it must be supported with
a reason. The best reason in my view to be proud of is not the
concessions we are having because thats  are in principle of natural
justice as propogated by John Rolls but the vision of our towards
life. may you get disagree but I believe that if we want our life to
be proud of then we must have a goal of upgrading our society by any
way we feel comfortable and meaningful. Only that you along with
society will be proud of your being.
