The Man Who Lost His Sight But Not His Vision: A Story of Hope and Courage

Every morning, our street used to wake up to a familiar, comforting call — “Aloo! Pyaaz!” — a simple voice that echoed through the lanes, reminding us that life goes on, work continues, and dreams are built one step at a time.

Then one day, that voice went silent. Days turned into weeks, and we began to wonder — where is he? What happened to the man whose humble cry for business had become the rhythm of our mornings?

And then, one quiet afternoon, we saw him again — walking slowly by the side of the road, his elder daughter gently holding his hand to guide him. His eyes were closed, but his spirit was open and alive. When we asked where he had been, his words broke our hearts:

“I have lost my eyes completely. I cannot see anymore. I couldn’t come to the streets… I didn’t know how I would manage.”

In that moment, silence fell — not the kind that ends conversations, but the kind that awakens empathy.

This man, who once stood tall in the sun with sacks of potatoes and onions, had suddenly been thrown into darkness. Yet, even in that darkness, he refused to surrender. He refused to beg. He refused to let despair define him.

With gentle encouragement from us and some of the people , he gathered the courage to return — this time with his wife or sometimes his daughter by his side. They became his eyes, his strength, his faith. He started selling again, his familiar voice once more echoing through our street:

“Aloo! Pyaaz!”

But this time, his voice carried something deeper — a story of resilience, of hope, of a man who lost his sight but never lost his vision.

He does not want fame. He does not seek pity. He simply wants to work — to earn an honest living, to feed his family, to educate his children, and to stand with dignity.

In a world where many give up over small troubles, this man stands as a living example that true vision does not come from the eyes — it comes from the heart.

His courage reminds us that disabilities do not define a person; determination does. He is not “disabled.” He is able — able to inspire, able to work, able to teach us what strength really means.

But he needs support — both emotional and financial.
He is fighting a quiet battle every day to keep his family’s dream alive. If you ever pass through our lane and hear that old familiar voice calling out “Aloo! Pyaaz!”, stop for a moment. Buy from him — not out of sympathy, but out of respect. Each potato, each onion you buy from him is not just food — it’s a symbol of hope, perseverance, and dignity.

And if you can, lend a helping hand — a little financial aid, a kind word, a bit of support — it will go a long way in lighting up the life of someone who, though blind, continues to illuminate the path of others with his spirit.
In his struggle, there is no religion — only resilience.
When he stands on the street, guided by his daughter’s hand, what we see is not a Hindu or a Muslim — we see a father, a worker, a fighter, a man who refuses to give up.

Let’s stand with him. Let’s keep his dream alive.
Because sometimes, a man who has lost his eyes can still see the world far better than those who can.

A short tribute to "OurPresident", "Our Missile Man"
REST IN PEACE Dr. A. P. J. ABDUL KALAM

कुछ अपने से थे कलाम ,
हर दिल में बसता है उनका नाम ।
कुछ इस कदर देश का जूनून था उनकी रगों में ,
जो कोई सुनता उनको हो जाया करता था कदरदान ।
देशभक्ति बस्ती थी उनके कण कण में ,
जीवंतता जिनकी थी महान ।
MISSILE Man बनकर दुनिया को भारत की शक्ति का बोध कराया ,
अपनी लेखिकी से दुनिया को नया सवेरा दिखाया ।
सपना वो नहीं जो नींद में देखा जाये ,
सपना वो है जो तुम्हे सोने ही ना दे
इस वाक्य से हमको भली भांति परिचित कराया ।
कुछ ऐसे ही थे कलाम । ।
जड़ें जिनकी जुडी थी धरती से VISION उनका था महान ,
जात धर्म का बोध न जाना जिन्होंने ,
फैलाया एकता का फरमान
कुछ अपने से थे कलाम ।
आँखों को नम करके कुछ इस कदर याद भारतवासी उनको कर रहे हैं ,
करते रहेंगे ,
हर भारतीय को दिल से कलाम हमेशा याद रहेंगे ।

It’s called “jhakhiya“ , also known as wild mustard or dog mustard, refers to the small, dark seeds of the Cleome viscosa plant, primarily used in northern India, especially in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, for flavoring dishes. The seeds are dark brown to black and are a staple ingredient in Pahadi cuisines, particularly in Garhwali and Kumaoni cooking. They crackle when heated in oil, adding a unique earthy and nutty flavor and a crunchy texture to food, and are often used to temper (tadka) dals, vegetables, and other dishes.

So today we saw it in our kitchen garden and tried to collect and store the jhakhiya for using it in our dishes.

When Science and life both says there will be light after darkness; and the best thing about the wrong time and wrong people is, they will be left behind 😊 and that’s the sign that your life is ahead; whatever comes in the way of freedom and happiness let it go,in the last what matters is you; you are the main character of your life;be happy, enjoy little things, live every moment of you, embrace your mistakes and learn from them in the end you will have it all. वो कहते हैं न अंत में सब सही हो जाता है और अंत भला तो सब भला. be the fullest version of you; YOU ARE DOING GOOD 😊 keep it up 👍
