nice discussion is going on here. And I also agreed that, using cane is depending on our situation. Myself, not using much cane on unfamiliar places. So its easy in, familiar places. For example, in our city or home area. But, in other places, using cane on road, its very difficult to walk and take other help. So I always depends on any sited person. And, I also try to as much as to use cane on unfamiliar places, but its just wasting my time and irritating lot. Here in India roads are not good in some places. Siddalingeshwar ingalagi.
