Re: [AI] RP & hopelessness
Hello access Indians, I and my brother have the same problem of RP. I had a substantial vision till my graduation, till my age of 19. But there after till the age of 30 it diminished very fast. But since then for last 2 and half years it has not diminished significantly. My parents were aware of the situation so they decided to keep us in the special school. There we learned the alternative methods of studying. At the same time we enjoyed all the moment of our vision in childhood with our cousins. The only solution to the emotional problem is you must accept the reality right from your childhood. Yes even today also I have the stigma of using cane for mobility. But I am trying to come out of the stigma. Sometime this little vision creates some funny incidences. Many a times when I walk with my white cane some people observes me very closely. And a times I change my direction of walking due to the barriers on the way which I can see even before my cane hits it. So some peoples say “he is really blind or acting”. When I wait for the bus and when I ask the number “excuse me madam what is the number?” at that time the face of the person is really lookable. So rather than regretting for what we don’t have always enjoy of what we have. zoher kheriwala taheri menswear mumbai. skype id zoher.kheriwala - Original Message - From: "Vamshi.

I dare say that even born blind people can not always empathise with persons with deteriorating vision conditions. The challenges faced by these people may seem silly to born blind people. For example, asking for someone else's help is such an easy task for those who experienced blindness from childhood when compared to those who loose vision during adulthood. After all, learning cycling is easier at the age of ten than at the age of 30! Having said this, I must admit that born blind people have their own set of serious challenges. And please do not think that I'm trying to create differences amongst the community. Many born blind people on this very list have been my friends and mentors in my life. Coming to your questions, my answers are as follows: 1. Can I anyhow retain what little I have? There is no scientifically validated treatment that can arrest the deterioration. Though some treatments like ayurvedic treatment at Sridheryeem, Kerala claim to do so, the experiences of patients has not been uniform. While some have reported arrest of deterioration for some years, others haven't got any benefit. A scientific study has proved that protection of eyes from exposure to bright sunlight may slow down the deterioration to some extent. And no study has shown that intake of vitamin A can do any good in this regard. So, the answer to this question is a sorry. 2. If I lose all my sight will any break through treatment in future can be availed by me because they say at least little vision is must to treat. This depends upon the kind of treatment. The bionic eye, which is a commercially available treatment option for persons with RP in some parts of west, is useful only for those who have lost significant part of their vision due to RP. To be more precise, it is specifically for people like you. But its current cost is unreasonably high even for people in the west. Other treatment options like gene therapy and stem cell therapy are still under clinical trials and may take some more time before being commercially available. But as you pointed out, gene therapy is possible only for those who have some residual vision. But going by what you have described, your condition in the recent past wouldn't have been ideal for this treatment. So, there is nothing for you to worry about because of the recent developments. 3.

[AI] Two-day bank strike from Wednesday
Two-day bank strike from Wednesday Mumbai, Aug 20, 2012, (IANS): All business and commercial activities across the country are likely to be crippled as the entire banking industry employees would go on a two-day strike starting Wednesday, a banking union official said here Monday. Over a million employees and officers of 27 public sector banks, 12 old generation private banks and eight foreign banks will take part in the strike, said All India Bank Employees Association secretary Vishwas Utagi. Among other things, they will protest the government's move to amend the banking laws bill, presently pending before parliament and scheduled for discussions Aug 23 and 24, Utagi said in a statement here. "The proposed banking law amendments proposing to adversely amend the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, and Banking Companies' Acquisition & Transfer of Undertakings Act, aimed at merger of banks, allowing private and foreign capital in banks, unrestricted voting rights and granting licences to corporate business houses to start new banks, are aimed at handing over the Indian private sector banking to multi-national banks and increasing the presence of Indian corporate and foreign direct investment in public sector banks," Utagi said. The outcome of these proposed measures would be closure of rural bank branches, resorting to a large number of ultra-small branches, thereby privatising rural banking operations through contractual businesses, he claimed. The strike would also oppose outsourcing of work to outside agencies, and other "anti-labour" policies, jeopardising jobs in the banking sector and aimed at undermining the collective bargaining strength. During the strike, bank employees here will take out a procession to Azad Maidan in support of their demands, he added.

Re: [AI] RP & hopelessness
Hi friends, Allmost every member of this group has his life full with these very emotional and heart touching insidents. Ekenath sir I totally agree with you. I also have allmost similar conditions like geetha mam mentioned but ya it makes me chearful to see light. But I don't get bothered at nights as well. I can't see anything except any window opened or closed on my computer screen I rather turn it off. it depends on acceptence. Earlier I was capable of reading printed books and doing a lot of things which I can't even think of doing now but it is a part of our life. I will not touch upon that aspect for now in this very short interwell of only 9 to 10 months which took away a large percentage of my very little eyesight which I had earlierit gave me a lot of hardships from convincing my family, friends to adjusting myself to study with screen readers. But somehow now I don't even get bothered about that because it will never comeback. I have a lot of plans to keep my life chearful. @ Shona mam! I also had the same condition earlier in my life. But that was only my acceptence and ability to talk about my disability without any hesitation which helped me a lot in getting out from this tromatic situation. Yes I know I can't drive, I can't see any movie, I can't makeout anybuddies facial expressions. But there are certain things which keep me chearful. I don't have very large number of friends but those who are with me they don't forget to include me in any social gathering. It was me who told them without any hesitation the way of holding my hand, the methods of my studies. Even some of them are patient enough to listen about screen readers without even moving from their place. They don't call me because of any liability but some of them love my different sskills like cracking jokes and solving anybuddies tech problems. I never forget to make them laugh even in toughest situations. When I used to be quite it used to hert me alot when somebuddy asked about my disability or somebuddy who pulled me like a cart instead of gentally holding my hand. But these accessindian fellos helped me a lot in a large number of aspects throughout my life. Till 2010 I didn't have any visually impaired friend but now I have a lot. I enjoy the extracted audio of movies lying on my bed without straining my eyes. Yesterday our old monitor got damaged. Everybuddy was panicked till I reached home from my coaching class. it was not turned off properly so showing some boot options like start window normally or safe mode etc. I started that and asked about the light which lightsup constently when we do any heavy work like booting or shutdown. My dad said it was not and I just pressed enter pc got booted in couple of seconds. and from then I am writing mails chatting skyping whereas they are worried about screen and asking for my laptop. So I took this situation on a very positive note. regards On 8/20/12, Shona Man wrote: > The worldd for me too is a growing dark due to disappearing my center > vision.

Many people consider me as a sighted person as my eyes do not reflect any sense of blindness by looking on them, but there is a dark inside these two little balls.
