Is this world Blind....?

Hi every one this is Chaitanya.I work for INFOSYS Hyd.

One day me and my friend prabhu were roaming on the streets of Himayat Nagar on a pulsar 220..we were zooming past vehicles and having fun..then we passed by an old man who was walking along the pavement. Prabhu had passed comments on that old man..laughing at the old man we both left..then suddenly there was a lound sound..we turned back with shock..we parked the bike went there running, the road was filled with blood, that old man was crushed under a bus..we immediately called up 108 and told the address..we waited till the ambulance came and as soon as it came we took the old mans stick and his bag and rushed him to the hospital. On the way to hospital, in the ambulance the old man was trying to tell us something but he couldn’t. On reaching the hospital we immediately called for a stretcher and while we were taking him to the Icu the old man said “I wish I had one more day, jus one day…” we couldn’t understand what he meant. Then the doc rushed him to the operation theatre and we waited there till it was done. But the worst part is that the doctors couldn’t save him. We were speechless for a min, it took time for the doctors words to sink in our heads. Then we left the hospital feeling very disappointed. The next two days were very gloomy for us. We have been thinking what the old man wanted to convey..but we couldn’t understand. Then suddenly I remembered about the bag that we had picked up..i rushed to my room and opened it..i found a dairy..but it was all empty and had had some bulges in it..i didn’t know what it was..i showed to prabhu..he quickly identified it as dairy written in Braille..we were shocked with fact that the old was indeed blind..we immediately took the dairy to Mahesh who was a friend of ours and even he was blind. He could read it.he opened the last page and started reading it. It said “ I am very happy today because tomo am gonna get my eyes and then I would be able to see the entire world” he had registered with some eye bank and he was gonna get operated the next day..

Its very sad that old man died before his wish was fulfilled..he would have been happy if the accident had occurred one day later..
After this incident me and my friend were completely moved..we visited many schools for blind..we did wat ever we could to help them..still we go there every Sunday..they really enjoy our company…these people really need love and help..thats y every Sunday we make it a point to spend some time with them.

COME LETS WORK TOGETHER FOR HUMANITY.
