Hi mohit,
congrats to your innovative questions. in order to avoid the
problem, I do not use the spoon or fork in such situations
and I do not worry about people around thinking some thing
bad, as eating with fingers is not bad for health or in any
respect. only this illusive modernity makes these rules. so,
I think it is not wrong in over ruling them as long as there
is no harm. for example, to eat 'Idli', a well known south
Indian breakfast, people use 2 spoons. but it is too
difficult for visually impaired to eat like that. so, I do
it with my fingers. yes, its even in public. I don't mind as
I think if the people around me had the same problem, they
would have developed the custom of eating by fingers and at
that time, eating with spoon would have been rather
unacceptable custom. say for example, for eating 'Dosa',
another well known south Indian meal, the same people cannot
use spoon or any other tool and inevitably they eat by
fingers. so, I conclude, if sighted people make customs
based on their conveniences, why cannot we follow them
according to our conveniences? these are my personal views
and you have right to differ in yours.
Umesha
