Ashalatha A comes across as one among the hundreds of vloggers posting cooking videos, travel diaries, interviews, motivational talks, book reviews etc. But being visually-challenged, Asha stands out as a motivation for her followers.
While her Instagram handle, @vipassana_by_asha, has 97.5k followers, her YouTube page, Vipassana Vlog by Ashalatha, has 199k subscribers. “I don’t want to be a role model. I want to show that I can do many things that a person with vision can do so as to motivate visually-challenged persons and their families,” says Asha, a native of Ravaneshwaram in Kasaragod district in Kerala.
