My dear Rujuta,

Great description! But still too full of adjectives and adverbs. But this post was more than two years ago.

Just a line from the Beatles:
"Living is easy
with eyes closed,
Misunderstanding
everything we see."

OR

"Living is easy
with ears closed,
Misunderstanding
everything we hear.

Warm regards,
- Joe.

Hi Rujuta, lively one. I need one favor from you. My younger is a sign language teacher too. He was working with "The Deaf Way, Hyderabad" , but because of health issues n family commitments he has to work in Maharashtra. I'd appreciate if you can guide him for starting his career in Pune or anywhere in MS. Thanks in advance.

Another beautiful and thought provoking blog, Ruju - it seems that during just the one workshop you learnt such a lot. Thank you for sharing the experience. To all of you who may be considering learning sign language: Do it! Navin, I'm afraid it cannot be done from a book, but attending a class is fun and engaging (albeit also hard work at times). It really makes you think about methods of communication in a new way and it feels good to be able to sign - even if it's just a little - when meeting a deaf person whose first language is signing. It's all about understanding each other as much as possible. Hmmm - reminds me that I must put more effort into learning a little bit of Maharati before (or rather during) our next visit to India... Best wishes from Estrid

Hi Rujuta,
Nice piece. Count me in as one of the people interested in hearing more about the classes.

About a month back, I bought a book on sign language - on a whim. I had an idea in mind that I'll take it up as a hobby. I had recently learned that sign language is not just a simple matter of translating the words of your regular "hearing" language into gestures - it is much more interesting with its own rules. That sounded interesting to me.

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to get started on the book because somebody from my office immediately borrowed it. Oh well.

Anyway, I am not sure I'll have time to attend a class, but keep me informed.
