It's an annual disability summit where disabled, neurodivergent and chronically ill people from around the world convene to discuss all things accessibility, agency and accommodation.
We met a lot of people we'd only had online meetings with.
It was a good two days of networking. Got lots of ideas for what we could do if we ever did something similar for autistics.
On a seperate note, Aditi fell sick the moment we reached Bangalore. The weather there doesn't suit her. She had allergies, a high fever and weakness. We were in Marathahalli, which is also a 20-min, traffic-laden drive from the conference venue.
Finding cabs is a nightmare in Bangalore. Even walking on the road is. Had to walk 20 minutes through pothole-riddled roads and back alleys to find a medical, which didn't have Crocin Advance (they had the 650, a slightly stronger variant without the Combiflam).
Had some decent food. Ordered in most days, and on the last day we went to Yogisthaan in Indira Nagar, which is a yoga studio-organic restaurant. We had a fruit bowl, a quinoa salad meal, and some juice.
Watched a LOT of Silicon Valley. Cannot believe I hadn't discovered it until a week ago. Wtf.
Lots of work to do now that we're back.
