At one point, she taught herself to type using her nose on her phone and laptop. What might seem unusual to someone unfamiliar with her circumstances became a practical way for her to communicate and continue her work.
But as time passed, typing in this manner became painful.
Once again, she had to find another way.
The Mother Who Helped Her Keep Moving Forward
When typing became too painful, Vinayana did not abandon her academic ambitions. Instead, she found another method that allowed her to continue.
She dictated her Master’s and MPhil dissertations to her mother, who helped write down her words.
Their collaboration became an important part of her educational journey. Vinayana supplied the ideas, knowledge, and academic work, while her mother helped transform those spoken words into written pages.
Behind those pages were hours of effort, determination, and cooperation.
