Tag - visual impairment

To the left, a figure with cropped hair sits at a desk, using a laptop. There is a vase full of flowers on the desk. A crescent moon in the night sky outside can be seen through a window, and a black cat frolics on the floor. On the right, in a green field, four people stretch in preparation to play sports.

Even as I fought for others to accept my body with disability, I had to learn to love it myself

My most romantic midnight date: A story of friendship and love

Description: A young child sits between two adults, one wearing a salwar kameez and the other a red kurta. They look down at the child, smiling. The three sit on the floor of a home, with an open book beside them. There is a potted plant in the background, two paintings on the wall, and a window on the right, with a bird perched against the sill.

Hopes and fears: The parenting journey of a couple with disabilities in Sangli

Description: Towards the left of the image, two people sit beside each other on a bench, looking into each other’s eyes. One has long hair and wears a yellow top, the other has a beard. Above them we see the branches of a tree, strung with lights, and in the background we see the starry night sky, grass and trees.

What it means to be on Tinder as a person with an identifiable disability

Two friends, one dressed in white and one in red, are standing side by side. They are sharing a pair of earphones. One one side, there is a phone and on the other, a laptop. On top, between their respective heads, there is a fishbowl full of flowers. They are against a pattern of yellow and blue tiles.

As a visually impaired woman, I navigate two worlds

The illustration is divided into three panels. The one on the left shows a woman working on her laptop in a room with a red curtain and from the window we see a brightly lit sky. Next to her is a lamp and some documents in Braille. In the centre panel, there is a woman in a yellow dress with a plate full of food in her hands. She is surrounded by people, tinted in blue who are engrossed in each other, some looking at her but not talking to her. In the panel on the right, a woman wearing a red dress is seated in a meeting room with blue walls as another woman who is standing at the door, looks on her and frowns.

I’m blind, not invisible

A poster of the movie Kaabil. The picture has a close-up of the actor Hrithik Roshan's face, he has a furrowed brow and each eye has the reflection of a lit candle in it. Below the photo, there is text in upper case that reads, 'Rakesh Roshan's Kaabil. Directed by Sanjay Gupta. Music by Rajesh Roshan.'

‘Kaabil’ isn’t perfect, but it does normalise disability in Indian cinema

A woman with brown eyes, who is wearing a pink kurta, and lime green salwar and dupatta, walks looking straight head. Her hair is flying behind her, and she is holding what looks like a boarding pass with one hand, while she wheels a large red suitcase with the other. In the background, a huge window shows one plane taking off, while one waits on the tarmac. On the airport walls ahead of the woman, there is a mural depicting a cupcake, a laptop, a book, and a briefcase.

Rising from the ashes: How I rebuilt my life after I left my abusive husband

The illustration is a collage, with a picture of half a woman's face on the top right hand side. She has a nose-ring on. On the bottom right, there are drawings of the venus flytrap. To the left, there are drawings of several objects, including brooms, a dustpan, a radio, a television, and instant noodles.

An illustration featuring a wheelchair and a cane to the right, and text saying 'Take Our Pop Quiz!' to the left.
