Saw a blind person using an Android phone in Delhi Metro. He repeatedly swipes right on screen and the phone speaks back each text on the screen.

He got an SMS message, copied it somehow, sent it to a contact on WhatsApp and got back an audio reply of the text.

Makes me think,
1. Are the apps we create friendly for such people ?
2. Does it support Malayalam and other regional lang speechback ?
3. How is the overall experience, what can be improved and what are the needs ?

#accessibility

A dog keeping watch while its human friend is sleeping on the street. This sight was both cute and sad.

We also saw a homeless person holding 4 small little kittens trying to keep them warm.

Behind the tourist attractions, fancy buildings, you can see a glimpse of the real India.

Saw Jignesh Mevani today speaking at an anti NRC+CAA rally in Thrissur.

Some Muslim organization did this event. There were no women on the stage. And there were very very few in the crowd.

The irony of "EQUALITY" written in huge letters in the background.

bucketlist-- # see a theatre play

Attended International Theatre Festival of Kerala today at Sangeetha Nataka Akademi. Also went for an exhibition at Lalitha Kala Akademi. I liked the vibe here, the people and places. The first play I saw in my life was really good too !

Living in Thrissur, the cultural capital of Kerala, I should have done this longggg ago. Starting all these now :D.

Any suggestions/things I should check out dear aana pappaanmaar ?

Coming back from Delhi on a morning flight and saw the most beautiful sunrise ever. Felt like being on a different planet for a while. #MarsISeeYou

For us Indians living on the west coast, sunsets are what we see the most.

I turned 20 on 20 in the year of 2020. Very fancy ! And at `20:20` (8PM) tonight, it was the peak moment of fanciness 😂

The next such fanciness will be in the year `3030` at `1030` years old ? Nopeee, this is my fanciest birthday timestamp ever ! 😝

Ever since I played GTA, used Blender, I had this thought that the whole world and life is a simulation in a 3D rendered world. So there might be some rendering errors and glitches somewhere. But seeing the waves hitting the shore and the beautiful glistening from it, there was no glitch. It was amazing ! It was perfect !

Is this the real life or is it just fantasy ?
Prolly real, or not ?

This is Kodungallur/Paravur beach btw. Been tracking flight path with OSMAnd.

Went to Shaheen Bagh protests with @rajudev_@twitter.com

The protest and slogans got stronger as the sky went darker. Azadi echoed everywhere.

Met a truck driver who goes to Kerala as part of his job. He said "Calicut Calicut!". TIL it takes 5 days to reach Kerala with a little bit sleep.

I met @Shehla_Rashid@twitter.com today !!!

It's my first time at an event of @SFLCin@twitter.com and was really impressed with the people and conversations here !!

Was the perfect place to enquire about the "freedom extent" dilemma in GPL I had and got inputs + new knowledge on FOSS licenses.

At @SFLCin@twitter.com panel discussion on future of Intermediary liability in India.

@kannan @kde Why KDE ?

Lightweight and power packed !!
