Why don't you use the laptop to take down the notes?
Or record them?
Maybe, because the teachers don't vocalize all that they write on the
blackboard, right?
We have to press for it as it is the reasonable accommodation in
education
for blind...
Anyway, all through my educational career, I hardly found notes given
by
teachers in the classroom worth noting down or preserving, and so never
bothered to ask them to vocalize, even though some sweet-voiced madams
did
do it on their own...

Yeah, that is a good idea.
Even I was thinking that I should do that after 12th.
Usually, when the sighted escort is not available, I go with my driver
only.
A driver is more than enough.
But the only problem is that I need someone to note down what is
taught in the class.

Good Rahul.
My theory about escorts says that totally blind person should opt for
escort
if the escort is available, affordable and there are no privacy
concerns.
In your case, escort is available/affordable.
But there are privacy concerns.
However, Rahul, when you have a driver, I don't think you require a
separate
sighted escort.
Driver can drop you wherever you wish and then mobility inside is not
such
a
big issue.
Friends and people around are sufficient.
So, with a driver, I do not think you need a separate escort.
Learning basic handling of cane etc. is of course called for.
I advocate escorts mainly for outside mobility which is of course
reduced
in
your case, since you use a private transport with a fixed driver.

Rajesh Sir,
I completely agree with you.
In fact, even I think that privacy can be an issue when one is with an
escort.
It is for this reason that I always try to ensure that my friends
don't feel like they're being constantly scrutinized by an outsider.
Once, when a very good sighted friend of mine had called me for his
birthday party, I asked my sighted guide to drop me to the place where
I and my friends were going to meet.
I told him that I would call him after the party and asked him to wait
in the car till then.
On another occasion, when me and my friends went for a movie, I asked
my sighted guide to drop me to my seat and to go and sit at a
different place.
Am I doing enough?
Is there anything else that you can suggest to deal with this issue of
privacy?
BTW, which are the other requirements of your theory about
desirability of escorts? :)

Ravindra Sir,
I really appreciate your suggestions.
However, it would be wrong to assert that I'm concentrating on
socialising at the cost of my studies.
In fact, my parents and others who know me say that my main problem
is that I study way too much :P
Studies can only take you so far in life.
Anyway, thank you for your wishes, and I'll keep your suggestions in
mind.

Well, I can fully understand rahul's predicament.
So, advice to concentrate on studies and so on is too, too moralistic
and
beside the point.
Specifically Rahul, here the third requirement of my theorum about
desirability of escorts is being violated, i.e. the constant sighted
escort
is intruding upon your privacy and your friends may not like it and
consider
you an intrusion.
So, try to restrict your sighted escort to the essential tasks and
not
use
him/her for collective activities such as outings with friends.
I know you will have to work your way to it.
All the best.

High Rahul,
Why do you like someone's company?
I fully agree with this sentence.
I think first of all you concentrate more on your study.
Best of luck for your HSC exam.
Don't thinks negative.
Now see how many reply come to you?
These are all friends, so why are you worry?

Hey Rahul,
Got some time from office work so couldn't stop butting in.
All brilliant points except one where there is a need mentioned for
discussing it out with your friends. In my opinion, should not be
done
so, you will only seek sympathy and would emotionally induce your
friends to hang out with you but they would not get convinced. DO it
through action and performance.
How?
Buddy, think little practically by keeping aside depressing emotions
for a little time. Why do you like someone's company?
Are you getting some answers?
It's your independence of mobility, body language, personality,
talking skills, knowledge of relevant things, flexibility and
rendering help. Cheerful smile and sense of humor attract embrace
from
people.
You must be possessing many of above mentioned qualities. Capitalize
on it. People will not come to you unless they believe that you add
value to their lives in any which way. To be specific, try to
normalize your life style as much as you can with your mainstream
peers.
You should be at least partially independent in mobility to gain
others confidence in you.
How do you walk to your place after getting down from your car?
Who picks up your bag and carry it?
Does always your aid only find things for you before you extend your
hands?
Then time to thing and act my friend.
Even though blessed with multiple difficulties, I have lived an
excellent college life. And those joyous moments and friends are
real
treasures of my life. Therefore, make the most of it. That time
never
comes back.
Finally, keep your head high exuberating brilliance, confidence and
substance with a little smile and things will fall in place.
Good luck
Do call me on Sundays if need be. I would like to know about a girl
you
like.
Joking. Haha!
Pardon me if you didn't like any of the things mentioned above.
~Cheers

Hi all,
I hope you all are well.
Like I've mentioned in my earlier posts, I'm 17 and am currently in
12th
grade.
I have quite a few sighted friends, but I've noticed that they
hardly
ever call me when they go for movies, have birthday parties or have
get-togethers.
I feel that my visual impairment is a major reason for this.
We have appointed a sighted guide who goes with me everywhere.
So, I often get depressed and frustrated when my friends don't call
me.
In fact, for me, this is the biggest challenge that I currently
have
to face due to my visual impairment.
I can't even ask my friends if they don't call me because of my
visual
problem, because none of them will ever admit it.
So, has anyone here faced this problem?
Please share your views and suggestions.
Cheers,
Rahul
