On 24th Sept. everybody on the streets of Thiruvananthpuram were surprised to see Magician Anand’s son Akash driving on the streets of the city blindfoldedly to stress the need for safe driving.The stunt was staged to urge especially offensive drivers to follow traffic rules to make the roads a safe place for all. Other members of Jadugar Anand also drove with him and some volunteers also followed them.Akash Awasti was blindfolded with a piece or cardboard, cotton and plaster of paris cut in the shape of an eye glass – held together with a band of black cloth wrapped over.Before starting, a hood was placed over his face and volunteers guided Akash to his motorbike.
Everyone was amazed to watch him make the correct turns and curves. The blind folded Akash even adjusted speeds and applied brakes to avoid potholes and collision with other vehicles.Akash later told this feat of his combination of tricks, meditation and concentration. His message to public was that when blindfolded riders can navigate safely on busy roads, why should accidents take place during normal driving.
