[AI] How to really see a blind person - NYTimes

2018-03-03 Thread Rahul Bajaj 
I think that this is a great piece. In a bid to push back against
inspiration porn and to drive home the fact that the disabled are just
as capable as their able-bodied counterparts,
I feel that we often downplay or belittle the struggles that the
disabled actually have to undergo in order to thrive. This article
does a great job of
dispelling the notion that being disabled is nothing more than another
attribute of one's personality or no bigger a challenge than the
challenges that
the able-bodied routinely encounter:

"One thing I do often now is public talks about learning to navigate
my new life without vision. But it’s a one-way conversation.
Afterward, I go to the
airport where I’m reminded how hard it is to physically navigate a
world not set up for people without vision. It’s a pain to find
assistance at the counter.
It’s a pain to get through security, which can’t seem to distinguish
dog food from explosives. It’s a pain to get the airlines to move my
seat to the bulkhead
so there’s room for my guide dog. Don’t get me started on what a pain
it is to find the bathroom for either of us."

Hi all,
I am a Ph.D. scholar at Jawaharlal Nehru University. I urgently need
Romila Thappar’s book called The Public Intellectuals in India. If you
have a soft copy of it, could you please forward it to me? I will be
highly obliged to you for the same.

Hi,

Consider Rivo's Bluetooth keyboard. Slightly expensive, you also need to oblige 
someone from UK or US to save on shipping, but it's compactness and the design 
is worth the effort.

Happy shopping!

Amar Jain
