Year 2005 and in town at the Crowne Plaza Hotel was a fund raiser dinner cum fashion show aimed at increasing awareness of breast cancer, organized by the Namuna Institute of Fashion Designing and the Rotary Club. I was keen to go but the question was with whom?
My association by choice, the Deaf! A whole band of beautiful Deaf ladies got ready for the evening out. For some it was their first time for an event like this one. For me too, through their eyes, it became a first time.
There were a couple of informative and important discourses with visuals delivered by respected medical practitioners in the field of breast cancer. All of those were interpreted for the glamorous Deaf ladies. And yes, a few famous singers came and performed on stage and guess what!
The ladies requested an interpreting of the songs as well.
