Blind????

 Blind ????

Yesterday I saw the movie " Shrikanth".
Biopic on Visually impaired Shrikanth Bola, MIT graduate and successful entrepreneur.
Played v aesthetically by Rajkumarr Rao.

He says" In our country,2% are Visually Impaired.but the rest 98% is Blind".

So so true.

Blind to not see so many things.

Lack of Civic Sense- Blind to not be able to see the wastebins kept in corner.Hence,we Indians throw used plastic waterbottles,chocolate wrappers,chips packets right on the ground in public places or on road while walking or from our cars.
Lack of Respect-
Apathy and Arrogance makes us spit every where without seeing....someone passing by.....
Without seeing place or property....
Hence all walls and roads of India are pink and red because of Pan / Gutkha stains.
Beautiful monuments which speak of our rich heritage.....are stained.

Blind to Rules-
We can't see signals nor sign boards.
We jump red signals, enter no entry....
We park in No Parking.
We don't see aged and children crossing.We love to accelerate....instead of slowing down...even if we " See" people crossing the road.
We overtake from wrong side.....as we are " Blind" to driving rules.
We can't see the " Ambulance " behind.so obstruct it's path even if the Ambulance is carrying a serious patient.

Blind to existence of women-We fail to notice a Woman 's hard work and dedication in running the house and Caring for family.
So question her existence and identity.

Blind to Nature-
We are so Blind to what Nature and surroundings provide to us....
We abuse Nature by cutting down trees.Polluting the resources- Air,Water,Soil.
Global warming and Natural Calamities, we are facing,is result of our Blindness.

They say....
Eyes see what the Brain wants us to see.

It's high time....we force our Brain to make our Eyes to see Right.
