Dear Mr. Rajesh, I agree with you completely that fumbling
around will not be taken as trying at one's best. I have seen many
people laughing at a fumbling blind person. Many people here asked me
that why don't you people get some sighted people with you.
Moreover, when you are ready to ask some unknown person's help in
between, why do you think having escort is not preferable? There is a
limit to everything, so as your independence. Your independence should
not put an end to your life no? Therefore as Mr. Rajesh said, it is
better to have an escort at least in a new surroundings when you can
afford one; Untill you have a good device which caters the need of
sight to a large extent.
I don't think that any senses are now able to substitute the sight
unless you try something different like echolocation.
I don't know the efficiency of echolocation in extremely noisy places.
If any one is expert in echolocation, please do contact me off the
list.
Thanks in advance.

Mr. Rajesh
I myself am a mother of 7 year old son who is visually handi cap and
from the very first day from admitting to school till date i have
faced lot of inconveniences . so i can very well understand your
inconvenience level but there is one thing which always i make my son
and myself understand that
IT is important for us to stay unaffected by the praise and criticism
of the world, to stay steadfast when buffeted by the raging waves of
jealousy around us.Look down on these things from a higher plane, and
use them to make yourself a stronger person.
As far as cure is concerned Something is better than nothing , if
couple of people are working on some good thing , no matter during
this process if our sentiments or some inconveniences are being caused
but if we see that in future some how it may help Visually people i
think we should appreciate and move forward ---
ALL of us should have aim to put all our efforts and fight Blindness
, no matter how we should advance along the path leading towards
success . It is vital never to stray from this path as a result of
being swayed by immediate relative advantages or disadvantages, or by
petty emotionalism. If we should veer from all these actions and
efforts being taken towards blindness , we ourself will lose out.
last but not least BENEFIT does not mean that we always enjoy
favourable circumstances.
It is not philosphy but a true fact .....
Thanks and regards
Anjina
