| Abstract
|
:
|
Vasishta (administration and supervision, Gallaudet U.) provides a memoir of his life as a deaf person in India, beginning with the onset of his deafness at the age of 11 and continuing through his travels to America, where he obtained a degree at Gallaudet U. He recounts his search for a cure, doing schoolwork at home as a child, how he finally became a photographer after moving to Delhi and finding a school there for the deaf, and the challenge of learning sign language and how to speak.
