Every once in a while, I run Google Search for keywords that should ideally lead to the Braillecards.org website.
It helps us understand where we are on page rank, and also helps us know if there is anyone else in the same space, so we can collaborate.
Always, without exception, these net searches lead one to very interesting work being done by other people, and its impossible to not share the excitement!
Today, its this really nice list of periodicals for the disabled. The list has been compiled, quite nicely, by a website called Shruti. And while we are at it, I must also appreciate the website itself. It’s super cool.
We are not listed on this site yet 
Let’s see if i can find a way to get them informed.
The other nice place that i found was this:
This place is good because, though there are hajaar people working for the same end, it irritates me that there is no network, no one place where you can at least get information about such initiatives at one place.
Shruti and ACPD are both excellent because u at least get a consolidated, compiled information base.
As they would say in my IIM Calcutta lingo, Gud Show!
I really enjoyed this one. Do hope you like it too. Tell us what you think.

Today, we did the most thorough audit possible for Blind Accessibility. This was at IIT Delhi, and included points that i could not even have dreamt of!
The audit started at 1030 hours and went on till (phew!) 1630 hours. We did 3 audits – Visitor Audit, Student Audit, Employee Audit.
The report is now ready and submitted, and the payment realised. Wow!! The audit fees was just Rs. 4000 for all the 3 audits, because we worked really hard and finished all the 3 audits in one day!
(Raising a well deserved toast).. Congratulations!
Tomorrow, we will be doing our first Accessibility Audit in India. Wish us luck.
