Dear Rajesh
i only agree with your thurd point,
to think that escort is there, and we don't need mobility is very much wrong.
sighted people can also put your life in to denjare, we must take
responsibility
for our life, and not totaly put responsibility on the shoulders of others.
secondly because of dependence on sighted, social dignity is compromised,
and not because you have to fumble around, it shows you are trying your best.

Dear Srinivasu
Rightly said that low vision people don't face as much problems in
mobility as totally blind do.
It is not impossible to manage without escort, I have done it
myself, travelling on Nagpur Roads in student days, and even
travelling all alone in trains in UP, bringing my elder sister who
is herself blind with her kids from Lucknow to Nagpur, all by myself.
My point is, without escort,
1. The mobility is fraught with inherent risks, sometimes of life.
2. More often than not, social dignity is compromised, as you have
to fumble around.
3. Your freedom, particularly in new surroundings, is greatly curtailed.
As a result, one should opt for an escort, if one is able to afford,
and escort is available, except in situations where privacy is of
utmost importance.

Subject: [AI] Tips to manage without escort?
Hi All,
Honestly, I got this curiosity with recent thread raised by Rajesh.
I know, there area lot of members in the group, who widely travel and I see
them traveling all alone. I even see people like Jean, who never ask for
help at the venues. I am curious how would people with total blindness can
manage to be alone at conferences etc.Also, any of you come across tips to
network with the people in the events.I don't consider myself to answer any
of the above, although I travel a lot, but I could fairly see. So I don't
think, this would be of any problem to people with low vision.
Any tips would also help me to share with our students at NAB.
Thanks a lot,
-Srinivasu
