Aruna, my cousin : My cousin had Down's syndrome. After she passed away in 2001, her sister and I created a trust to train girls like her. We found a few reliable institutions and funded 3 kids back then. Today we provided funding for about 30 around India. One of the nice things is that Coffe Cafe Day, an upmarket cafe has recognized that these human beings, too, have hearts of gold and can serve. At one of their branches, all their serivice staff have Down's. There are two 'regular' supervisors. The wonderful thing is that customers, after they get over the initial shock of their stereotypes colliding with a different reality, are in complete awe of seeing th eimpossible become delightfully everyday!

Women at a Wedding : I find it fascinating that all four of them - who I know as strong personalities in their own right and almost never in agreement - have the similar body language: legs crossed to the left heads, backs and heads in an attentive pose to the right... It just made me smile.
