Amazing

by | 21 Aug 2015

Recently, I had an opportunity to work with a vision impaired employee of our agency. I was amazed by his ability to work almost at the same speed and accuracy of a sighted person. Of course he uses a special software in his computer but he mastered the skills of quickly moving among different programs in his computer and I am pretty sure he memorized the whole keyboard.
At the same time I was sad because I know a lot of blind people in Bangladesh beg on the streets for survival. They will never know that this type of technology exists. Most of the people who are born blind never go to school because of lack of special schools in their vicinity. They end up becoming a burden to their families or on the streets. It is a curse to be born in a poor country especially if you have some kind of impairment.

America’s birthday 2022

Last two years we watched fireworks from home, so we went to see the fireworks yesterday at the park about 2.5 miles away from our house. I drove around the park but didn't get any parking, so I double parked on a street next to the park and took a quick video (linked...

Visiting Parks

During this summer I started to take my kids to different parks, so they can spend some time outside of the house and get some physical movements rather than playing video games the whole day. I take pictures every time we go outside. Also, I make videos of less than...

Silent Treatment

We have a comedian at our workplace. One day, during the beginning of my carrier in this place, I asked him if I could check my e-mail from my work computer. He responded, “Go crazy, just keep the pants on”. I didn’t laugh, so he said it again. I just smiled and went...
