The word “inclusivity” did not mean much to me, until the day, just a few years ago, I walked into the Lady Andal School auditorium to spend a few spellbinding hours, experiencing myriad emotions, at the CAVINKARE ABILITY AWARDS.

Friends. I honestly, did not, for a moment, imagine that I would live to see this day! It was October 1995 when the first issue of “Success & ABILITY” saw the light of day, produced, and edited by a hopeful first timer – with nothing except a smouldering passion in her heart. Ever since, quarter after every quarter for the next whopping 25 years, a 56-to-64-page glossy magazine with a focus on a subject as disability, was the signature of Ability Foundation.

When the COVID-19 pandemic entered our lives in March 2020, there was a sense of hope; that this too shall pass, that we shall turn the corner sooner than later, that the world will return to rhythms that we recognise. One year, two waves and countless lockdowns later, today the air is one of exhaustion and uncertainty. Most of us struggle through bouts of loneliness, helplessness, anxiety and fatigue. No one seems to know when this will end. Amidst this ambiguity, the world as we know it seems to have all but disappeared.
