Mr. Jawahar Kaul, visually handicapped is the principal of the "All India Confederation of the Blind". He said: "You can see with your eyes, but cannot see with your heart, as we can." But Sipra sees with both.
After going through the photographs of Sipra Das, the life seems so normal with the fisherman Misri Sahani, Safat Ali Hasan, Riyazuddin, the motorcycle mechanic, that I felt my own capabilities were so less, lacking, and handicapped. Nemal Das's real life is stranger than Munshi Premchand's fiction. Vispy Mirza, leaves you amazed at his attitude of a perfectionist. God played foul with him, by giving him an imperfect physique. I am in touch with a number of such sightless people from Arushi in Bhopal. I have known them from close. Their personalities have flowered out very well. Prof. Rohit Trivedi for example teaches literature in a girls' college in Bhopal. He has completed a thesis on Girish Karnad's plays recently.
Sipra's book helps you to see them as a part of your normal world. Our attitude must change. They are surrounded by darkness outside, but they all have a light within.
Her book enlightened me and I hope it will enlighten you all as well.
