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?! @goadisability @PrakashWKamatPK @ianuragthakur

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.

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 @curesmaindia doesn't have superheroes and martyrs, right @Roche ?

This image clearly illustrates why accessibility and inclusivity are alien concepts in a Divyang India.

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. @PMOIndia @MSJE_AIC SMA has treatment options, give us access or continue to watch us die.

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!

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

DAY 56. FINALLY got my van, took it for a test drive with official service team. @srivastava91265 @Nissan_India @Nissan @NissanMotor I did not need a bouquet of flowers or gifts. All I ask, please let me trial for a bit before I am compelled to pay. @curesmaindia @debolinsen

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?
