just trying to make dignity an everyday thing, that people don't have to fight for, but are given by default

[soumita @soumitabasu]

@DisabilityIndia @AirAsiaIndia @airsewa_MoCA sure will do, thanks @DisabilityIndia

[soumita @soumitabasu]

dear @AirAsiaIndia why are you blatantly flouting government rules and harassing passengers with #disabilities? @DGCAIndia please note

[soumita @soumitabasu]

@AirAsiaIndia refusing to give basic disability facilities as mandated by @DGCAIndia or even to attempt to address the concerns. @DisabilityIndia @PlanetAbled
travel becoming more and more disability discriminating. @MSJEGOI @socialpwds

[soumita @soumitabasu]

@AirAsiaIndia even after all the "sincere apologies", @AirAsiaIndia refuses to call and resolve the issues. Even after committing to a call yesterday, and scheduling it, today they insist I must write to them, no verbal conversation. That's #harassment!

@shiv_catalysts @DishaShrivasta9 amazing @DishaShrivasta9 !! super Proud of you

Time spent learning is never wasted. NEVER (the only time I can say never ever without hesitation)

[Arindam Ghosh @ArindamPhysics]

As new year beckons, let me share a personal experience that convinced me when research, maybe anything, is purely driven by curiosity, it is never a wasted effort.

Back in mid90s, I just started my PhD & built a setup to measure extremely small fluctuations electrical voltage.

@COP26 if an invited minister can't present herself at your conference due to infrastructure #accessibility, how will voices of people with high #vulnerability even reach you? People with #Disability are high risk group facing the effect of #ClimateCrisis

[soumita @soumitabasu]

Thrilled to have @_margfoundation echo our thoughts in the magazine. #fashion needs to be #inclusive. #Pwds #elderly and different #body types need to be served equally! @zyenika was created to bring this revolution

@MBonvoyAssist done!

[soumita @soumitabasu]

Most insensitive buffet dinner exp @JWMarriott kol! Was refused assistance as a #wheelchair user. No apology/first aid after the waiter hurt my foot by dropping heavy plate. From anyone! Jolted heavily by the staff!
#inclusion is in the way you treat people. disappointed #PwD

[soumita @soumitabasu]

@shiv_catalysts @wfh it has definitely opened up more avenues. The larger attitudinal issue of "can you do it" remains a challenge.
Often it was impossible to get a job if you couldn't go to the physical premises, because the office itself wasn't accessible, or the pwd can't sit through etc

[soumita @soumitabasu]

When your dreams make you smile, nothing can stop you. Presenting at an #Entrepreneurship program to US ambassador @atulkeshap from my hospital bed!
Thanks #Nexus @USAndIndia for the impetus to the dream that #Inclusion will be our everyday reality
