[Blind-international-students] conference call

[Anmol Bhatia]

All good ideas Bruce. It will be nice if your brother and other individuals living in other countries can join us and it will be even better if blind individuals living in other countries can join us, however, most of the people participating will most likely be from the US and it will be deficult to accomadate everyone around the world and everyone's schedule in the US. So I think we will have to settle on a time which can be best for everyone and right now it seems to be 2:00 central time. Perhaps we can move it up couple to 12:00 central which will be 12:00 at night in India. Any thoughts? Also thanks for your suggestions on how we can improve our communications regarding the time and place. We do need to do that.
So where in India is your brother? I am actually from Mumbai formally known as Bombay India.
I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
