11.14 AM: Attitude is half the battle in destigmatising disability, says Malvika. "The fact that the honourable PM has chosen to broadcast my views on Women's Day makes me believe that India is on the right path in dismantling age old superstitions regarding disability," she adds.

Acceptance is the greatest reward we can give to ourselves. We cant control our lives but we surely can control our attitude towards life. At the end of the day, it is how we survive our challenges that matters most.

I survived a gruesome bomb blast at the age of 13 that blew off my hands and severely damaged my legs. Yet, I worked and went on to get my PhD.
