As I walked on the streets going to the office the other day, I noticed older women on the other side begging for money and food. Beside them are a few blind people playing music using their instruments. Life wouldn't be so easy if you are blind. It is hard for a blind person to figure out what a world looks like. But how can you describe something to a blind person particulary color? Let's say a color blue, how can you describe it to a blind person?

One of the toughest yest simple questions that i have ever heard. I dont think that anybody would manage to describe a colour to a blind person. Its an impossible task unless that blind person had vision prior.

Well, I understand if it is really tough. I guess you can say things that might signify what a blue color is. Thanks for your response
