Mannu, a pretty girl had very sweet eyes.Her family doted on her.One day after school, she was hit by a truck.She was rushed to the hospital, and was declared dead. Her father took a decision to donate her eyes to Paru, his daughter-in-law, who was stone blind. After surgery Paru reached home and wanted to see Mannu. She was taken to a portrait of Mannu. Her husband told her, "here is Mannu" She fell down with a shock. Mahesh consoled her ' Mannu is not dead. She is alive in your eyes. Her sweet eyes will always live.
Kudos to Mannu's dad! How good that a person can give vision to some one else after death ! I remembered a movie when I read this - Urmila's Naina :)

ReplyDeleteThanks SM ")
DeleteSuch a noble cause, the only sad part is the someone sees the light only after someone else's life goes into darkness forever...Very touching post Ushaji..
ReplyDeleteThank you Reshma. I am glad you liked it :)
DeleteQuite a lot of things to be happy and noble about. Even before he donated his daughter's eyes to her, the father has accepted his handicapped daughter-in-law. I don't see that acceptance of people usually. A nice story, and good that the daughter lives on, not only through memories, but through her eyes.
ReplyDeleteLeo I welcome your comments and also your keen observation.Long ago I saw a movie on this theme. Strangely as soon as I saw the topic for the prompt ,I was reminded of the movie.
DeleteHumanity still exists:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Gayu .:)))
DeleteThis is a beautiful story with two messages. He had a blind daughter in law, which is unthinkable in our world now and has donated his daughter's eyes to her! Great!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandhya.There are still some Good Samaritans,though their number is decreasing.
