A special filter coffee!

Had a coffee at this stall at chennai domestic terminal. I didn't see this board stating it is a special stall (with ordering instructions) nor did i realise i am talking to a specially abled person at counter who couldn't hear/speak. I was a bit embarrassed of how i have become insensitive of others over years.
It has been years since i interacted with someone who couldn't hear. I had a childhood neighbor and friend with whom i used to interact and learnt a bit on how to use sign language. Over the years i lost touch with him once we moved out of my town, and also forgot to use it.
For a few moments all those memories flashed over my mind while I was enjoying the filter coffee delivered by him. It was heartening to see companies/startups being inclusive of everyone in the society!
