Hitting My Stride: An Engineer's Notes on Disability - Paperback

by R. Shrivaths Iyengar (Author)

"Absence or lack is where the optimism of engineering and technology can meet the gaps of present reality for some and build an improved reality for everyone." - R. Shrivaths Iyengar

R. Shrivaths Iyengar has been described as many things-loyal son, affectionate brother, cheeky uncle, and proficient engineer.

But long before he had any degrees in hand, his life was engineered by his resourceful and inventive family along with a great deal of support from friends, teachers, doctors and even neighbours. This honed a mindset which helped Shrivaths navigate uneven pavements and university grounds, internships and international travel, friendships and family excursions, prosthetics upgrades and professional life.

With a wry sense of humor, keen observational skills and a generous dash of jugaad, the essays in Hitting My Stride take us from his hometown of Delhi through Paris, Providence, Redmond, and back again.
