Hi, Even without holding railing, you can say when the end comes. You can easily feel the edge hitting your foot. Regards,

With all the traveling I've been doing from past whatever months to different parts of world, one of the problems I'm facing is to cope with escalators. Escalators are becoming common in Indian structures too, but I found a lot of escalators at various places especially in countries like US, UK etc. No matter whatever I've tried, I haven't been able to independently use the escalators, and in fact, found myself in a strange nuisance all the times I have to use them. for Those who don't know, I'm a totally blind. Though I manage to take someone's help to climb through escalators, but even in that case find a lot uneasiness, particularly due to the strange manner most of the people use to help me. Sometimes, 2 people holding my hands from both the sides, shouting like hell when I have to further my leg, and all that irritates me to the crest. I feel like a victim and find a serious discomfiture. Since many of you have been traveling across the world and using escalators from quite sometime now, I request you to kindly share your experiences on how do you cope with them. Since I do not have any sight available, it'll be helpful if you can help me by describing from that perspective. So, can you please guide me on the following? 1. how to determine when to further the legs when you are totally blind and can not catch the visual signals? 2. is there a technique to do it independently? 3. I feel a little apprehensive about risk of legs to get wedged into the stairways. Is there a way out? Your valuable guidance will be of great use, not just for me, but for lot of others like me. Hoping to have some positive responses. Regards, Prateek agarwal. Director, Daedal technovations pvt. Ltd. www.daedaltechnovations.com we bring the change we wish to see!
