Dialogues in the dark

To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable, says John Milton. Raghavan, the hero of Roopantharam, is born blind, constantly tied to an island of darkness. He decodes the world through sound and touch, creating his own perception through the sensory inflow. One of the three Malayalam films to be screened in the Indian Panorama section of the 47th IFFI, Roopantharam is directed by M B Padmakumar. “Raghavan gave me an opportunity to break free of my routine comedy roles,” says the actor.

Tap-ping to help the blind

Walking around is one of the toughest things for a visually challenged person. Even when they're using a cane. To help them get past this, young innovator Krishna Sai Inkoolu, from Anakapalli in Visakhapatnam invented 'Taparch Footwear', which helps them walk sans the stick. This 24-year-old who studied Industrial Engineering at Gitam University designed a mechanism with an embedded electronic circuit that senses the existence of obstacles in the path and communicates it to the visually challenged person with a 'tap', while they're walking — helping them stay safe.
