People turn a blind eye to the blind,that ’s what M.KRISHNAMOORTHY found out when he took to the city streets to get a taste of what the unsighted go through. Despite the general apathy,there were still some bright spots.  

I DISCOVERED that many people needed that extra push before they would help a blind person as I walked the busy streets of Kuala Lumpur for five hours, posing as a blind man with dark glasses and white cane.
