Hello, Recently, I met one person who had lost his vision nearly 18 years ago at the age of 18 while pursuing the first year of graduation. He left his studies due to sheer depression. He is also suffering from polio with one leg since childhood which made this depression deeper.
After leaving his studies, he decided to learn the business of his family with the hope to make his further survival. Due to his true devotion, hard work and dedication, today he owns one shop dealing in to marketing various foodstuffs like wheat, rice, oil etc on the wholesale basis. He has hired the required staff to help him out to perform several duties like handling customers, dealing with cash transactions, assisting him to commute from one place to another etc. Spending such a long period of time in this business, now he would like to be independent to avoid dependency of anyone in his business as he noticed that there are several occasions where he had to compromise on few things like trusting on the information provided by others like weight and measurement of the goods he is selling to his customers. He already has the digital weighing machine installed in his shop to measure the goods but this does not provide him any talking support. Since he has to measure the items which are packed in one sack like rice, wheat, etc in the quantities up to 60kgs, what can be the way out to measure these items independently for him? Are there any such talking weighing machines available in India or abroad? I have seen the products like talking bathroom scale and talking kitchen scale offered by RNIB but does not seems to fulfill his needs as former is meant to measure the weight of human being and the latter is for measuring the small items in the kitchen up to 5kgs. So kindly throw some light on this concern. Looking forward to hear from you. -- Regards, Mukesh jain Email: [email protected] [email protected] Skype: mukeshjain211 Mob: 09977165123 "Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you.
