Introduction	I am a professor of mathematics at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai (India). I have been increasingly mobility challenged of late due to the onset of a neurological condition known as multiple sclerosis; and perforce, I have had to notice the different ways that society excludes people like me, not deliberately, but for want of consciously thinking of the need for a more inclusive and accessible society. Most of the posts here are a reproduction of articles from a column called `Different Strokes for Different Folks' which I wrote in the Times of India for a little more than a year from August 2011 until the powers that be decided that there were more pressing matters to be discussed on their pages. I've written a bit more in the post 'Genesis of the Blog', which explains how this blog came into being.
Interests	Music (Hindustani, jazz, ... ) Reading (mathematics, P.G. Wodehouse) Slapstick comedy (Monty Python, charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, ...)
