Why Cant It Be The Other Way Around-2!

One fine cold morning, I stick out my right hand from the blanket to shut off my blaring alarm. I manage to get out of my warm blanket and sit up. I walked to my bathroom, about five steps away, to take a quick shower. I brush my hair neatly, position my bindi right in between of my eyebrows, set my dupatta, reach out to my purse hanging on a hook nailed to my door and hurry to the kitchen. I pour myself a cup of guava juice, stuff two slices of bread into my mouth and walk five meters to the main door. I open the door and shut it close behind me on the way out. I climb down the stairs, slightly out of breath on descending just 20 steps. I walk out of the gate. I can feel the warmth of the sun. I walk into a small galli, my shoulders escaping the walls of the opposite house by a mere five centimeters. I realize it when I take a left turn, three steps later. I walk around two hundred meters straight on the bumpy road; I feel my shoe stepping into something soft on the way but I don’t bother much about it. I take a right and walk towards my bus stop which it also almost the same distance as I had already covered. I can feel the dust blowing into my eyes, I look down and walk. Just as I reach into my purse, I collide with someone. Before I could turn and look, I hear a couple of things falling to the ground, it sounded like steel utensils and I hear a deep angry voice scream, “Are you bloody blind?”. I turn towards him, withdraw my hand from my purse clenching a foldable white stick in my hand and I say, “Yes Sir, I am”. He apologizes, I can hear a bus stopping, and I walk towards it. Now my stick being my only savior, I ask the driver, “HAL?” and when he confirms I get in. A kind lady gives me her seat. Again I start my day with the same question in my head:- When a person (assuming he’s not blind) makes a mistake say bumps into someone or crosses a road with a bike approaching, the person gets yelled at enquiring whether he/she is blind (like it’s an insult); I wonder if a blind person wouldn’t bump into anything on the way or managed to cross the roads as well, would he/she be patted on the shoulder by the same people and asked “Are you not blind?”.
