[Yamuna Jivana Dasa]

Hi,

This is a very pleasant surprise. In South Africa we did not have very much 
inclusion like this.

Here the roads are impossible to walk particularly in the villages, but at 
least we have these pleasant surprises from time to time I guess.

Sir, these many medicines also come with braille display example the tablet 
that I take for liver issues is written in braille and few other medicines also 
have braille written.

Thanks to the technology and importance given to Visually challenged in society.

All the best locating the product. If you don’t find it I could ask my wife to 
send a link to it on Amazon. Let me know.

Greetings yamuna:

 

Hare Krishna!

 

This is most interesting indeed.

 

I have never heard of this company but will surely check them out first thing 
tomorrow and place an order too. 

 

I also plan to leave a review on Amazon featuring my appreciation post 
purchase.  I also encourage others to do the same. 

 

As they say, there is strength in numbers.

 

I have always believed that reservations, promotions, special programs and so 
on for our community are mostly lip service. Only a handful of organizations 
are performing genuine work like this one. 

Thanks and regards,

off-topic for the blind!!

 

Hi friends,

 

A few weeks back, my wife bought some shower gel on Amazon. Seemed like an 
ordinary event and I thought nothing of it.

When the package arrived, my eldest son excitedly brought it to me. “Baba! 
Baba! Come check this out” he exclaimed as he put the bottle into my hands.

Not thinking much of it I asked “What is this?” without much examination of the 
bottle. “sShower gel” he said, still excited. “Feel the bottle”.

Somehow I still didn’t catch on, as I fingered lamely around the bottle’s 
edges. “Ok Nice”, I said. “Go pack this away now”.

“No! Feel the face of the bottle. Feel properly.” He insisted. I now knew 
something was up so with more alertness I carefully examined the face of the 
bottle.

Before I could even figure it out he exclaimed “Braille!” And he was right. Not 
just that, but both the front face and on the rear face had a whole lot of 
braille.

On the front face across the short side was written in short single lines as 
follows:

Fiama

Shower

Gel

 

On the opposite face, this time along the length of the bottle was written, 
again in beautiful braille letters along the length of the bottle this time:

Patchouli

And macadamia

 

It was uncontracted, no capitalization of letters, the dots felt somewhat faded 
on the plastic label, but still it was a pleasant surprise indeed. Coming to 
India I wasn’t sure I would ever see beautiful braille again, here in the 
village of Vrindavana.

 

Just for this fact I would like to keep buying this product, to simply say 
thank you for remembering us on the fringes of society, while most others see 
us as nothing more than disabled people that might at least be able to sing for 
some handout. We now bought 4 bottles in total for the moment, and every 
morning I can’t help running my fingers over the braille when I take some out 
to shower my body. It just feels so warmly familiar.

 

Just wanted to share this small yet heart-warming story of my own personal 
experience.

 

With kind regards,

Yamuna Jivana dasa

[Vedika Phadke]

 not only seat numbers,
but washrooms in many railways also have instructions in braille.
Railway stations have accessible map of the station.
I glad to experience this inclusivity.
I wouldn't say things can be handled lonely, but these accessibility points
make the task easy for one who is going to help.

i have found braille on atms since long time back, but i think this is
catching up more as the seet numbers in Vande Bharat Express are labled on
handles at the back of the ile side seats
but this is a good move. there are lots of talking micro ovens and other
things in other countries hope all of this comes to india.

RE: [AI] A pleasant surprise: It's not just shower gel, and no this is not off-topic for the blind!!

[minalsinghvi]

Yes, it's a pleasant moment for us when we can easily manage these kinds of 
products without needing anyone's help. Even though I don't read Braille 
quickly, I can still understand when I run my fingers over it. But, 

Savlon has Braille markings on some of their products for over five years, such 
as the hand wash and antiseptic gel. At the Radio Udaan convention, we 
distributed these products to raise awareness in our community. However, when 
we approached Savlon to extend this feature to all their products, they 
mentioned that there is very little demand for such products. It's 
disheartening that while we advocate for accessibility publicly, there seems to 
be minimal interest when it comes to actual usage. Only a few people here 
inquire about accessible products.

Minal

off-topic for the blind!!

 

Hi friends,

 

A few weeks back, my wife bought some shower gel on Amazon. Seemed like an 
ordinary event and I thought nothing of it.

When the package arrived, my eldest son excitedly brought it to me. “Baba! 
Baba! Come check this out” he exclaimed as he put the bottle into my hands.

Not thinking much of it I asked “What is this?” without much examination of the 
bottle. “sShower gel” he said, still excited. “Feel the bottle”.

Somehow I still didn’t catch on, as I fingered lamely around the bottle’s 
edges. “Ok Nice”, I said. “Go pack this away now”.

“No! Feel the face of the bottle. Feel properly.” He insisted. I now knew 
something was up so with more alertness I carefully examined the face of the 
bottle.

Before I could even figure it out he exclaimed “Braille!” And he was right. Not 
just that, but both the front face and on the rear face had a whole lot of 
braille.

On the front face across the short side was written in short single lines as 
follows:

Fiama

Shower

Gel

 

On the opposite face, this time along the length of the bottle was written, 
again in beautiful braille letters along the length of the bottle this time:

Patchouli

And macadamia

 

It was uncontracted, no capitalization of letters, the dots felt somewhat faded 
on the plastic label, but still it was a pleasant surprise indeed. Coming to 
India I wasn’t sure I would ever see beautiful braille again, here in the 
village of Vrindavana.

 

Just for this fact I would like to keep buying this product, to simply say 
thank you for remembering us on the fringes of society, while most others see 
us as nothing more than disabled people that might at least be able to sing for 
some handout. We now bought 4 bottles in total for the moment, and every 
morning I can’t help running my fingers over the braille when I take some out 
to shower my body. It just feels so warmly familiar.

 

Just wanted to share this small yet heart-warming story of my own personal 
experience.

 

With kind regards,

Yamuna Jivana dasa

Re: [AI] A pleasant surprise: It's not just shower gel, and no this is not off-topic for the blind!!

[Reach Now]

Greetings yamuna:

Hare Krishna!

This is most interesting indeed.

I have never heard of this company but will surely check them out first thing 
tomorrow and place an order too. 

I also plan to leave a review on Amazon featuring my appreciation post 
purchase.  I also encourage others to do the same. 

As they say, there is strength in numbers.

I have always believed that reservations, promotions, special programs and so 
on for our community are mostly lip service. Only a handful of organizations 
are performing genuine work like this one. 
Thanks and regards,


Rajesh from Noida

Subject: [AI] A pleasant surprise: It's not just shower gel, and no this is not 
off-topic for the blind!!


Hi friends,

 

A few weeks back, my wife bought some shower gel on Amazon. Seemed like an 
ordinary event and I thought nothing of it.

When the package arrived, my eldest son excitedly brought it to me. “Baba! 
Baba! Come check this out” he exclaimed as he put the bottle into my hands.

Not thinking much of it I asked “What is this?” without much examination of the 
bottle. “sShower gel” he said, still excited. “Feel the bottle”.

Somehow I still didn’t catch on, as I fingered lamely around the bottle’s 
edges. “Ok Nice”, I said. “Go pack this away now”.

“No! Feel the face of the bottle. Feel properly.” He insisted. I now knew 
something was up so with more alertness I carefully examined the face of the 
bottle.

Before I could even figure it out he exclaimed “Braille!” And he was right. Not 
just that, but both the front face and on the rear face had a whole lot of 
braille.

On the front face across the short side was written in short single lines as 
follows:

Fiama

Shower

Gel

 

On the opposite face, this time along the length of the bottle was written, 
again in beautiful braille letters along the length of the bottle this time:

Patchouli

And macadamia

 

It was uncontracted, no capitalization of letters, the dots felt somewhat faded 
on the plastic label, but still it was a pleasant surprise indeed. Coming to 
India I wasn’t sure I would ever see beautiful braille again, here in the 
village of Vrindavana.

 

Just for this fact I would like to keep buying this product, to simply say 
thank you for remembering us on the fringes of society, while most others see 
us as nothing more than disabled people that might at least be able to sing for 
some handout. We now bought 4 bottles in total for the moment, and every 
morning I can’t help running my fingers over the braille when I take some out 
to shower my body. It just feels so warmly familiar.

 

Just wanted to share this small yet heart-warming story of my own personal 
experience.

 

With kind regards,

Yamuna Jivana dasa

Thanks for sharing this awesome first hand experience.

It’s good that companies have started taking it a note of it.

That’s nice to know. It always gives me a good feeling when I see these things. 
Perhaps sentimental on my part, but hey it is what it is.

Hi,
That's  absolutely true.
I went to an ATM yesterday with my mom.
While she was showing  me the system, I was surprised to find the word card
and receipt written in braille.
Just hope that all of this becomes a norm and not a privilege.
