Friends,
I am a middle aged lady,a polio victim
confined to the wheel chair.
One of my greatest blessings
has been my family.
I did my PG and now
I am employed in a bank.
As a physically challenged person,
accessability has been the biggest concern.
Accessability into vehilces,buildings,
toilets..the list goes on.
I came to know about this forum
from a newspaper.
It was a pleasant surprise to know that
in India too there are platforms like this where
one could share the issues with like-bodied people.
Hoping for a lot of useful exchanges...

Hi Ma'am !!

First of all, Welcome to the forum.

Well, you stated it absolutely right... that the perfect blessing one can have (rather anyone whether able bodied or person with disability) is FAMILY...

hmm.. you have done your PG and work for a bank.... thats just wow !!

.. and you mentioned "accessiblity has the biggest concern.... the list goes on" .. i feel like though there are challenges out there but we always have winners like you to overcome them.. (i am sure you must have gone through a lot and won the battle on each front.. . thats y u have a superb life of working for a bank and being a PG.. that just blows my whistle away). HATS OFF TO YOU !!

.... and i am (not only me... actually WE are) looking forward to be benefitting from your experience through this forum..

So ma'am keep posting and keep rocking this forum

Rajiv Virat

Thanks both Rajiv and Shivani for your warm welcome.
I am just one of those to whom the almighty was a little
more considerate.
Whatever I am now the whole credit goes to my mother,
brothers, sisters and sisters in laws.

Hope to be with you here more often.

Hi Rajiv, Shivani, and Ma'am

Firstly a hearty welcome to Shree, and I must say (like Rajiv and Shivani already have) that it is completely our pleasure and honour to have you here !! I have also read your postings and found them really interesting, and I hope to see many more of them in the future. The link that you submitted (www.pedderjohnson.com) is also very useful and I got to pass it to someone looking for such assistive aids. You have already started contributing to someone who may be completely unconnected, that I guess is the beauty of this (and many other such) forum.

Last but not the least, Kudos to your family who have always been there for you!!

and once again, (like my friend Rajiv had already said),

Keep posting.... and surely the forum will Rock !!!!

Regards

Sachin

Thanks a lot Sachin!
I am happy somebody could find that link useful.
I know how much such little things
could mean to our lives at times.
