Using cane is actually up to the mindset of each and every human beings. Me also being a visually impaired girl feel very much frustrated to hold a cane and walk lonely over the roads, as it is not at all a secured way. Though many of the institutions have tried to build confidence in me... till now, i never ever felt it as secure. moreover, rather than asking a stranger in the road in between our walk, especially without knowing their mentality, behaviour and appearance, it is better to take one known and reliable assistance, who cares for us with their complete efforts na??????? However, though we say a lot that we can understand everybody with speaking and all, sometimes we really require their face and appearance, as for instance, if we find a popular criminal on road and if we beg for his assistance also we never come to know! then who will take care of the further consequences? I don't want to completely reject the uses of cane, for few it may be really useful. but, it is not ultimate. it is a traditional/temporary alternative to just depict the walk of visually impaired. But, if I think as a visually impaired girl, I feel that, we really require a great evolution of technology, which really makes us safe, secure and provide self-guidence rather than simply depicting us as visually impaired and increase insecurity, taken for grantedness and mercy among both good and bad commuters. It is just my opinion and not an impossition. I am just telling my experiences and my personal feelings about cane... the final decission is left to the individuals...
