Ever thought you'd be taking instructions to find your way, from the visually impaired? At the fourth Blind Man's Car Rally, you steer across Mumbai while a visually impaired person sitting next to you decodes instructions provided in Braille. Get to know your new friend and his world as you zip across check-points between Bandra and Colaba to race to the end. The money generated from the time-speed-distance rally, organised by Round Table India and the National Association for the Blind (NAB), will go towards buying Braille kits for NAB and setting up a school for children of migrant labourers near Vapi. Last day to register is today.
