Dear Bijul,
Normaly there are certain colors that go well together. Then if you are late
blind, you already know from memory as to what different colors look like.
This can  also be learnt just like any other subject.

Dear all,
Nice thread of discussion.
Well, being a late blind and now totally blind, I am able to match
colours of my kurties and jeans. Yes, its true once I have to ask all
colours which are on only one kurti, because nowadays drashes are in
maltipal colours. Even while shopping also I am habitual to ask which
portion is in which colour by touching all designs to my dear ones and
sales man/girl. Then after visualisation of colours and designs, no
problem in matching anytime ,even I am alone also at my home or during
some trainings.
Just for curiosity, I would like to know, how is it possible to
recognize colours of dress being a born blind? Means, how he/she can
know pink kurti/ti shirt is  full match with blue/black jeans.
At Vamshi, what’s reason regarding you have to put matching pairs in
covers when outside of home?

Yes, sir. I use the same technique. Additionally, different kinds of cloth 
can be recognized with the senseof touch.

Dear Mohit,

I completely agree with the fact that the sense of touch for a vision
impaired person has to be remarkable. In selecting clothes, I and my
sister sometimes choose Salvar Kamizes of the same texture but of
different colours. I still accurately identify mine by remembering for
instance, the pattern of the embroidery, the shape of the stones
embedded in them, the design in the neck, the size of the sleeves and
so on. I identify jewellery, hair bands and clips in the same way.

In addition to pairing my clothes by matching them correctly, I put
them in a particular order in my cupboard as per my convenience and
ensure that noone tries to tamper/change it. As I mentioned earlier,
you can master any trick/technique only through regular practise.

I fully second Ekinath's and Ajay's views.
Would like to tell you some thing that besides memorizing the texture of
my own Salvar Kamizs, Kurtis, Jewelry etc.
 I am also comfortable in memorizing and identifying cloths of my
husband. Though he is sighted but even then as a good wife, I do select
clothes for him to wear.

I also help him choose new clothes while we go out for shopping.
With regards to pairing his socks, I make sure that as far as possible,
we buy socks   of different color with different textures or length. And
then try to keep different color socks in different envelopes.

All I want to say, it is not at all difficult.

 If you do it yourself, what method do you use for doing it?
 2. This may be a dumb question, but how do you match your clothes?
 One method is to put a pair in 1 clip and to make many such pairs for
 a few days. But, then again, one needs sighted assistance to make the
 pairs, so that somewhat defeats the purpose.
 What sustainable solution would you suggest?

Mohit,
it depends on your touch sences.
I remember the texture of lets say, red colored shirt, or any shirtif
it is told by anybuddy.
There is no special rocket science in it. In my school days, my
friends used to mix and match my school bag with other buddies.
And some times with girls as well.
Because we used to have at least 3 to 4 types of common bags in our class.
Then I used to  always win the bet in finding the correct bag for myself.
Even today, my friends don't greet me untill, I recall them from their
handshaik.
I have a special texture identification of each and everything in my mind.
It may be my dad's hand or our family car.
I am not praising myself but, I am cunsiddered the best packer in my family.
Even I pack for my dad a lot of times.
I have only one line to say to all those people who might be reading this mail.
The best way of independence is exposure not the technology.

Re: [AI] 2 questions about daily living skills

2013-04-26 Thread Vamshi. G
Well, since I live with my parents all the time, I go to them for
matching cloths.  But when I have to go to some other place, I ask my
mother to keep pairs according to the matching in separate covers so
that I can take any cover and wear them.  I think you can implement
this at home also.

Rince i can see a little bit, i do manage to serve myself. My cloths are paired 
by my wife. In case I am attending a trainning away from, this pairing has 
helped me a lot to be in perfect matching dress. Afterall who is to deceive us 
if we are in a family?

Hello AccessIndia comrades,

2 quick questions.
1. To those who live with their family: Do you put  food in your plate
yourself or do you take someone's assistance?
If you do it yourself, what method do you use for doing it?
2. This may be a dumb question, but how do you match your clothes?
One method is to put a pair in 1 clip and to make many such pairs for
a few days. But, then again, one needs sighted assistance to make the
pairs, so that somewhat defeats the purpose.
What sustainable solution would you suggest?

Regards,
MS

I've always stayed with my family but there have been occasions when I
had to dine on my own. My mom/wife inform me about where they keep the
food for me in advance. I preferably pick a bigger plate/bowl so as to
avoid spilling over and keep an additional plate underneath the spoon
while pouring liquid/curry from the cooking vessel into my plate/bowl.
They generally guide/assist me in preparing my plate at parties and
family functions, the worst thing is that they need to tell me to
straighten the plate a number of times as I don't balance it well. You
do get liquid level indicators to help pour liquids into glasses and
other containers.

As far cloth pairing is concerned, I shop for myself with sighted
assistance and mostly remember the combinations I get home. I ask my
wife to mix and match pairs as per my liking and take her review on
the selection. You can also get a colour recognizer for yourself to
assist in this activity.

Some tricks and confidence to do things helps you devise methods to
live a highly independent life.

Ajay,

So, are you able to judge the colour of your clothes on the basis of
the texture? That's pretty amazing, man. Can you elaborate a bit on
it?

Re: [AI] 2 questions about daily living skills

Hello,
1. do you put the food in plate yourself?
a: I have done that many a times. Generally I keep the plate/ boul
close to the serving boul to avoid any spilling. That has helped me a
lot.
2. How do you match the pares?
a: my touch sence is exceptional according to my friends. But in
reality it is not like that. I have asked from my mom about the colour
of all my clothes once and made an understanding about their texture.
I don't need any sighted assistance in selecting my dresses. weather
they are night suits or formal clothes for interview.
regards
