Re: [AI] (please read) LECHAL - A shoe that can guide visuallyimpaired to their destination -
I think, the same device will be more useful if it comes in the form of a sunglass. Sometimes it is difficult to maintain a straight direction. We have to move the cane around. A sunglass will always keep us facing front. Actually I have an RniB glass with vibration. The same glass may be developed by the smart cane company.

[AI] Please read an article about an NGO in Pune.
Dear list members, humbley request you to take time and read this article on an NGO called Niwant in Pune. Chak De Niwant! In the past seventeen years I have travelled on a unique path. It is very difficult to express in words the intensity of my experiences. Hundreds of visually challenged students walked into my life and with the help of ‘Niwant’ they now settled in life. Everyone knows about a blind school, but ‘Niwant Andh Mukta Vikasalaya’ was established for students pursuing higher education, i.e. after Standard X. The journey of the making of Niwant was never a bed of roses. It was a war against negation, superstition and lack of faith in human abilities. A small but significant incident changed my whole perspective to life. In 1996, I visited a blind school in Pune to give a donation on the eve of my husband Anand’s birthday. There I saw a big line up of small helpless kids struggling to climb up the stairs and one of the homesick children hugged me because he thought I was his mother. Tears rolled down my eyes. I decided to give a slice of my life for the upliftment of these children and thought against the idea of taking up the job as an English teacher at the college level. The journey that followed saw the complete assimilation of ‘Meera Badve’, i.e. myself in the world of the specially sighted. The blind students had to discontinue their education after they completed their schooling. Not a single word was available in Braille beyond Standard X. Students with a rich family background could get support from their family members and continue education, but what about the others? They were children of rickshaw drivers, house helpers and farm workers. They came from strata of society that was beyond our definition of poverty and some were orphans. The syllabus for the blind students was the same as that for the sighted students and educational facilities were practically non-existent. “Is this social justice?” Niwant was like creating a universe out of void. On completion of the age of 18, the Social Welfare Department leaves differently-abled students to fend for themselves. Generally they are treated as non-productive elements by their family members who leave them in the school and sometimes they abandon them permanently. What could these children do? They were left on the street and used by society for malpractices; boys and girls for different reasons. Unfortunately these children had no sense of hygiene, culture and were struck by an inferiority complex as they thought that they could not cope with the challenges of the sighted world. They believed in charity and had not experienced the joy of earning money through self respect. They had no knowledge of the English language. Educational institutes had no faith in their potential. Eye-brows were raised and critical questions had to be answered. I had to sort out all these problems one by one. The students who walked into my life were directionless and confused about their future. They wanted to lead abetter life but did not know how to achieve their goals in life. In short, they needed a mother – teacher. I painstakingly had to give them lessons in culture, hygiene, which also included toilet training, cleanliness, feed them and academics followed later. Subject-based dictionaries with meanings in Marathi had to be created to encourage them to opt for English medium. Technology had to be brought in by replacing magnetic tapes by MP3 players, number of simple and less expensive educational tools had to be devised. Tonnes and tonnes ofcounseling went into helping them feel very positive about themselves and the world around them. Occasionally I had to use strict measures to discipline them.The social system had to be influenced to overlook superstitious beliefs that these children are the outcome of sins committed in a previous life. Educational institutes had to be convinced about giving them access to education and have faith in their abilities. Education is indeed the birth right of every child and as a society we have no right to give them begging bowls instead of Braille books. Publishers had to be convinced about making soft copies available for Braille conversion and copyright issues had to be tackled. It was a race against time. There were moments of retreat and defeat, but the willpower of my students gave me the strength to fight. A huge chain of selfless volunteers supported Niwant.Individual cause became the communal cause. Chak De Niwant! As a result, in the last seventeen years ‘Niwant’ tried to change the social picture including discarded and unwanted members of the society in the social fold. It has helped in a holistic development of the children, one of ‘body, mind and soul’,successfully channelized their energy through a Braille library which has over 3000 Braille books (curricular and extracurricular), 17 branches of ‘Vision Unlimited’ all over Maharashtra and core teaching of all subjects through both the mediums.

Meditation is one of the most under-used techniques in the world. It is something that everyone should be doing, and yet but a handful do. What a pity! Unfortunately it is so commonly related to 'spirituality', that people shy away from it. Of those who don't, many tell me that they don't meditate because they can't clear their mind of thoughts. You don't have to be spiritual, to meditate. You don't have to have a complete control of your mind to meditate. You just have to be human. Meditation is the process of eliminating thoughts, not vice versa. Meditation helps you get a better hold over the whims and fancies of your mind. In other words, it helps you control your mind instead of your mind controlling you, as is often the case. So how can you maditate? There are several techniques. The most effective is to simply stop thinking - or if you aren't able to do that, start 'observing' your thoughts, as if it was someone else's mind and you were just an observer. Eventually you will just stop thinking. Another very powerful technique is to concentrate completely on your breath. Don't control - just watch your breath. Focus all your senses on it, and think of nothing else. Usually when you do this, you will find that your breath slowly starts getting shorter and eventually comes to a stop. Here you will reach a thoughtless state, which is very, very powerful. A simpler technique is to imagine some object and think of nothing else. It could be a flame, or your third eye, or anything else, for that matter. A friend I knew, would imagine that she is running towards the sun forever. Yet another method is to light up a candle and stare at it without blinking until your eyes start watering. This is also a form of yoga, and you are so caught up not trying to blink, that you simply cannot think of anything else. If you are trying these techniques for meditation, I'd prefer that you start from the first method and switch to the next if you find it tough, and so on. Because the first technique is the most powerful, the next a little less, and so on. Start from the first and move downwards, and see which one suits you best. Everyone who meditates encounters thoughts. So if you find yourself thinking too much when you meditate, relax, it happens. Over a period of months, you'll find it reducing, and eventually you'll be able to reach that thought-less state much more easily.

At the same time let him give the power to take action against members. Still if we want to express our views or thoughts is it possible to use humble language?

Over a period of months, you'll find it reducing, and eventually you'll be able to reach that thought-less state much more easily.

Date:07/08/2009 URL: http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/holnus/001200908071890.htm Back TRAI rule on tariff plan change 'misused' Staff Reporter Kochi: A Telephone Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) notification designed for the benefit of mobile phone consumers has given cell phone service providers the opportunity to change tariff plans without the knowledge of subscribers. A 2004 TRAI notification inadvertently empowered service providers to changemobile phone tariff plans without the subscriber's knowledge. In its Telecommunication Tariff (Thirty First Amendment) Order, 2004', TRAI notified that a tariff plan once offered by an access provider shall be available to a subscriber for a minimum period of six months from the date of enrolment of the subscriber to the tariff plan. It also mentioned that a subscriber would be free to choose any other tariff plan even during that period. The amendment was made with a view to encourage competitive tariff fixingby mobile operators which would give the consumer plenty of options to choose from. It is unfortunate that this is being distorted, said T. Balachandran, TRAI Advisory Board Member. He also said he would bring this to TRAI's notice at its next meeting on September 17 and 18. The issue came to light when M.K. Haridas of 'The Proper Channel', aKochi-based NGO, realised that his monthly mobile bill didn't tally with thetariff plan he had opted for and that he was not informed of the plan shift. At the Consumer Court, the service provider cited the TRAI notification in its defence. Consumer should get complete plan As per the law, a week after service activation, complete tariff plan should be sent to the consumer. Subsequent change in plan should also be intimated, said Mr. Haridas. There is also provision for the consumer to shift from one plan to another without paying migration fee. Strangely, very few telephone subscribers are aware of the fact that if a problem in fixed line or broadband is not rectified by the operator in three days, the consumer is eligible for a seven-day rent subsidy. If it takes up to 15 days to fix the trouble, the subscriber should be given a 15-day rent cut. The subscriber will get a full-month rent concession if it takes more than 15 days for the company to do the repair, said Mr. Haridas, calling for better consumer awareness in this regard. © Copyright 2000 - 2009 The Hindu Krishnan M.
