Wednesday, December 1, 2010 Shriya's 'Spa' details shocking all Posted by veerendhra at 8:56 AM

So far, the sizzling beauty Shriya has been known for her strikingly seductive looks and her inclination towards meditation. But what she has done recently has caught the attention of many. Well, the pretty girl is gearing up to take off with a Spa(A resort providing therapeutic baths) and here is the best part. The staff within the spa would be visually challenged. Shriya's contention is that though they are visually challenged, they are compensated with high sharpness in their other senses and for doing the jobs in a spa, they possess the necessary skills. The spa is being opened in Mumbai and depending on the response, the pretty girl might look at expanding it across various other cities. Speaking about the initiative Shriya says, "We feel sympathetic towards them but we never employ them. We are scared because we have not grown up with them". Shriya asserts that while these people might be visually impaired their other senses are very strong. So they can effectively give foot and back massages and treatments like reflexology. "It's important to understand that you are not doing a favour on them but they are doing a favour on you", feels Shriya. Ask what motivated her to initiate something as unusual and dignified as this and she says, "When I studied in DPS Mathura Road in Delhi, there was a school for blind exactly opposite to our school. I used to go there every week and spend time seeing how these students played cricket and did other things normally. That is what inspired me to do something for these people". The state-of-the-art spa which is also meant for the public which offers specialised health treatments like reflexology and massages will be run by a set of visually-challenged people who have been trained in these techniques. The equipments used are also custom-made and programmed in such a way that the blind service personnel can handle them with ease. More than her set up, it is her thought which has impressed many. Way to go Shriya!!
