KUALA LUMPUR: She felt a sense of helplessness after just five minutes on the wheelchair. She also felt shy as everybody was looking at her. And when she was blindfolded next to experience what life is like for the visually disabled, she felt giddy after just a little while.
Vision lost, she had to depend on the minds eye, and it was not long before she became attuned to the sounds around her. But the walk along the supposedly disabled-friendly road in Brickfields was another thing altogether.
