The Not-so-good news: I had to be hospitalised for observation and tests. In an ambulance. The Great news: Nissan India isn't running the hospital or I'd be here 51 days. The nothing is new news: my van is being extensively "trialed". Perhaps it should be sent to my hospital?

A box of tissues to wipe my tears. A car freshener to forget my woes. A bouquet of flowers for that new car type experience. Can't thank you enough Nissan India

I've experienced this myself multiple times, not surprised things still remain the same in 2022. The entire medical fraternity, their institutions can easily disprove that specific disabilities have no effect on onset of major illnesses, an Insurance giant shuns it all! PATHETIC!

Let's call it, what it actually is, the willful acceptance of (preventable) death of bright future citizens and current achievers whose only detriment is their "treatable" disability. PMO India Accessible India SMA has treatment options, give us access or continue to watch us die.

We should send Sunny Deol to get us the drug. He's got a truck too. Will get us a free handpump as well. Because Cure SMA Foundation of India 🇮🇳 doesn't have superheroes and martyrs, right Roche ?

It was a genuine honour and quite an eye opener to see the efforts for accessibility. Oversights exist but we'll only see true inclusion if all PWDs from India share their needs and use the services.

My first show at Inox venue IFFI, accessibility poor poor poor. I'm expected to just park myself at the front of the auditorium??!? My neck and comfort be damned! Why can't accessibility at venues be audited and delivered by PWDs?! Disability Rights Association of Goa Prakash W. Kamat Anurag Thakur
