Early Monday morning this week, I landed at the cold Indira Gandhi Airport in New Delhi alongwith my dear friend Mr. Charles McCathieNevile

. We were there to attend Techshare India - a conference-cum-exhibition on accessibility. Charles (or Chaals) was speaking at the conference as well. I’ve attended quite a bit of these “paid conferences” in the recent months and have been utterly dissapointed - but this definitely changed after Techshare India.

I have to say it was one of the most well organised conferences I’ve been to, very well thought through and tediously implemented. The organization committee headed by Shilpi Kedia Driven to Kill psp completely deserve a big thank you from all of us.

More impressive though, which I think is why I was so impressed by the conference, was the passion and energy of the delegates. We had people from different parts of the country coming ahead and talking about a crucial but often ignored subject - giving everyone an equal oppurtunity. If you think of the web, I am referring to making content accessible to everyone and anyone. My beleif in the importance of making sure our web content is accessible was re-inforced when I witnessed the zeal with which more than half of the participants with various different kinds of dissabilites were discussing these issues with so much understanding and knowledge. These people have not let the challenges they face affect their passion to stay ahead of others. It was a truly humbling and encouraging experience. I feel proud to say I work for a company where “equal oppurtunity” truly stands for a lot.
