A Blind Girl’s Promise to the World




Dedicated to my special friend, may her eyes be filled with light soon…
When I became blind,
The whole world became kind.
Pity faces full of sympathy,
And kind hearts full of empathy,
Came up to help and guide,
Oh! The people were so kind.

But little did they understand,
That I am optimistic & can’t
Stand the pity faces & sorrow,
I always hope for a better tomorrow.

Though I am blind, I still see,
Because there’s a light inside me.
Independent and determined am I,
To succeed and rise up to the sky.

So don’t worry about me,
I can –No – I WILL, coz I am keen
                                                And have God’s help & blessing with me

"I Vs Eye"; An Eye opening Interview with Professor Habeeb C

Image
'Do I see darkness in my eyes? Do you see in yours? Darkness hasn't woven our lives together. Dreams. Its only Dreams that can make anyone's eyes clearer, giving the ability to see'  The above excerpt is taken from 'Music in Light' was part of many other essays, short stories, poems, interviews and memoirs that created history on 20th January 2015. An eye-opening anthology was released by the Centre for Advanced Studies and Research in English Language and Literature, Farook College, Kozhikode which is the start to the end of the many blind stereotypes we have about the visually impaired.

All in all, 'I vs Eye, an anthology of the visually impaired' will make you see like never before i...

Unity Yet Diversity: Documentry with a Diversity

Image
The phrase "Unity in Diversity" is often used with much pride by almost every Indian in every speech ever made since school days. Its been in the text books, in tourist guides, in the media everywhere. But somehow "India is the most racially discriminating country" as the documentary "Unity Yet Diversity" (UYD) puts it. And when you come to think of it , it is. We discriminate each other not only bu the color, religion and caste of a person but also by their language and region. How many movies have we watched that made fun of  "dosa-eating dark Madrasis", the Bombay goons from the slum, the  alcoholic Punjabi spendthrifts? We may be the top in the world for making fun or discriminating our own countrymen in this world. But there are a set of people from the place we proudly call "the seven sisters" in our geography book that undergo the worst stereotypes and discrimination- The people from the North East. These Indians are not eve...

The UNchanging Concept of women in "Homes"

A boy cleaning in the kitchen- " Oh what a sweet and charming boy" " A boy helping out in the kitchen" " OH it's okay dear we will manage you don't have tp help" A girl cleaning- "oh you missed a spot there" "when will you learn to do this properly?" " there is another dish in the sink" . . . . . . . true story! WE are the modern lot ! Oh yes we now have a broader outlook about things! We respect women. They can go out and work. No really we respect that as long as they are in the teaching or nursing profeesion and have time to produce babies, cook and clean. Oh and they should'nt stay out night too while we are at it!  Wow so much for that !  let us face it! There has'nt been much of a change in this society's concept of what a women is and should be.   Looking at magazines exclusively for women and t.v programmes for "US" clearly prooves that fact. An article abo...
