I feel very fortunate to have met Air Chief Marshal AP Singh

India is very fortunate to have ACM AP Singh as the new chief of Air Staff. I wish the new chief lots of happiness and success. I hope that the IAF will scale new heights under the leadership of ACM AP Singh

It was nice to meet Mr @ashutosh83B a Journalist, co-founder and Editorial director of Satya Hindi on the sidelines of a talk in JNU.

The humbleness and simplicity of Mr Ashutosh as a person never ceases to touch my heart. We need more upright journalists like him.

Today, I faced accessibility barriers in entering KFC in Global Foyer Mall, Palam Vihar, Gurugram.

I hope KFC endeavours to make outlets accessible for persons with disabilities across the country.

@SmitaSabharwal Women are also seen having less physical strength in comparison to men. Why should women be allowed to join defence services and police services & IAS by your logic

[shorya sood @shorya1007]

This pole has now become a barrier for persons with disabilities in accessing Mammu Dhabha on JNU campus.However, bikes and bicycles still find a way to cross these poles. It is unfortunate that in universities like JNU persons with disabilities face accessibility related issues

[shorya sood @shorya1007]

@ilah108 Very nice idea. I hope you be the voice of those sections of the society who are excluded from the mainstream media.

India won a thrilling World Twenty20 cricket final. The script could not have written better for this world cup final. Virat Kohli match winning innings in his Last Twenty20 World Cup match for team India, Rahul Dravid last match as head coach of Team India.

Today, I visited Global Foyer Mall in Palam Vihar, Gurugram. I was appalled to see that it was not possible for a wheelchair user like me to access any restaurant in the food court of the Global Foyer Mall independently.

I appeared for the UGC NET on June 18, which has now been cancelled. It is ableist and does NOT care about disabled candidates.

Here's what happened. 🧵

It was very sad to see that the Isa Khan Tomb in the Humayun's Tomb is not at all wheelchair accessible.

I hope the ASI takes note of these accessibility related issues faced by persons with disabilities and endeavours to make all historical places

It was sad to see that the auditorium of Jawahar Bhawan was not wheelchair accessible. My wheelchair had to be lifted by 3 people to attend today's talk. It is these kinds of accessibility barriers which exclude persons with disabilities like me

In addition, the voting machine was kept at a place where it was not possible to park my wheelchair. I had to stand and vote with the help of someone's assistance to cast my vote
