See ability in disability
What is disability? What is handicap? What is the impairment?
Learnt the meaning of these in a "Media and Disability" seminar that we went today at Kochi. There's a warmth about people and students there. They're all around you, curious, inquisitive. They ask you what your name is, what your 'stalam'(place) is.
I instantly fell in love with the student population at the Kerala Press Academy in Kochi(not to be taken literally, cos there were some nice girls too!). Two minutes after we introduce ourselves, Sridhar(also a journalism student) puts his hand on my shoulder. A minute later, we are laughing and joking.
A journalist-cum-NGO person spoke a lot, and real loud. Must be Tamilian, I guess. I'm rite! The other lecturers were okay; some boring, some interesting. One drew some excellent cartoons on the board.
Punch line of the seminar - "See ability in disability."
