.

Against all odds, I race toward inclusivity, embracing resilience, and claiming my right to equality.

Moon symbol of glamour, radiance, yet belittles for its inability to gleam independently

I began reading the next chapter with mixed feelings of hopefulness and grief

Scattered particles of hope and promise transformed my dream into a nightmare

International Day of Disabilities is an isolated projection that can't fuel the sensitisation required for inclusivity

I am optimistic that I will have even better accounts to share by the close of my epic odyssey

I have never been afforded the liberty to create an inclusive environment for myself or exhibit casual mannerisms

Deeming children with disabilities as a punishment from God is, to put mildly, both disgusting and abhorrent

I feel obliged to not only pay formal tribute to my own parents but also to all those unsung mentors
