Well, I elieve Avinash would do study of social interactions-quantitative and 
qualitative--of blind and similarly situated sighted to eke out certain 
conclusions.
For instance, I wish to study social interactions of blind bank officers and 
control group of sighted bank officers over a period of time, say measure how 
many times they went out with their friends and to which places, and then 
compare both sets...
Just thinking aloud.

hi All,
i am glad this piece has brought out the discussion of friendships
here. there is so much we do to make ourselves considered as equals
among our sighted peers; when in reality there is a definite
difference whether we choose to acknowledge it or not.
that, in no way means it has to be negative, but, if we fail to
recognize and accept it, this can be detrimental to our own sense of
self.
i never thought i would feel this way until my interactions increased
due to the virtual world opening up.
like Shireen said, we want to carve our own spaces in the world of the
seeing as equals since our abilities are only hampered due to
disability, not lost forever.
avinash, it will be great to know the final outcome of your research
on this topic, since we share symbiotic relationships with our friends
both sighted and blind.

rajesh, some of the onus lies entirely with us to educate and
familiarize our sighted peers with our lives and ways. after that,
what they choose to do with it or not is their business.
we can then decide how we want to deal with those relationships.

Wonderful, Payal.
Refreshing to read that there are at least a few of us who are realistic about 
our disability and able-bodied world.
Otherwise, there is always banter of banning disability from our lives even by 
the disabled and living as if we are non-disabled.
Phrases like he has conquered his disability put me off personally.

So, thanks for this realistic description of situation.

I am sure most of of my sighted friends don't really know, or care to know how 
I function and what are my limitations.

2017-07-04 Thread avinash shahi via Ai 
Great reflection Payal. You've put it powerfully well on the keyboard.
Friendship is certainly a category of inquiry. And it plays a very
critical role in traversing the stigma ascribed to disability. For my
Phd, I'm trying to analyse and explicate the critical role of
friendships in the lives of disabled people. One of my chapters is on
unearthing  how friendships help disabled themselves to traverse with
the labelled identity and stigma attached with their existence. When
societal norms and mores are antithetical to their inclusion and
acceptance in the public life, it is relevant to explore and underline
the role of friendship in the day-to-day lives of disabled people.
Mailing groups such as Access India also plays a powerful role!

very well articulated, and very real for a lot of us i'm sure.

i personally hadn't realised, or rather, hadn't been able to accept
for a long time, how real and how truly omnipresent my disability is,
in my interactions and coexistence with non-disabled peers. in
particular, the constant pressure to perform on a par, and often
better than those around us, in a world so visual oriented is truly
not very pleasant. we've often spoken
about this, Payal.. how our own efforts of independence turns around
and bites us in the behind, during the few times when we do need a
hand or a pare of seeing eyes. like our independence were etched in
stone, without exception. this piece of yours in particular, and our
many interactions have helped me a great deal, with not penalising
myself for all my inadequacies, and understanding the complexities of
this blind/ non-blind gap.
i'm truly grateful to you for articulating and putting out there, so
many issues that need public addressing. few of us have the courage
and the verbal dexterity to do this, like you do.
keep'em coming!

Shireen.

Very nicely written article.

Specially the point about living in 2 separate worlds. But it could be extended 
beyond disability and non-disability. Many people who live outside their 
original country would feel the same. I feel the same while discussing 
programming topics with non-programming people.

Well done!
