Pankaj smiled Along and explained him how he Reached here to look for him.
The Old Man as calm as before asked politely,"So May i Know What Made you Come to me,leaving the rest of the Crowd".
"Your Eyes"spurted Pankaj Next Moment.

He asked"What you want to know then?
Pankaj unusually hesitated before saying"I am on a project of Expression Photography and your face,There is a different spark in your Eyes,it is so calm as if it is freed from the Worldly Desires and Agony"and he kept talking until there was a silence again for a few minutes.
The Old Man gave a contented Smile and replied"Because What you See,I dont and What I See you will never be able to.My Eyes sees a World which has Everything it needs and is much beautiful than Yours"
Pankaj did not know what to reply and was staring at the Old man perplexed.Soon the Old man,got up,trailed towards the Crowd and disappeared.Pankaj ran behind him in Astonishment but was unable to find him.
He inquired about the old Man in the Adjoining shops and got a few irrelevant Information,until a person told him,he is a very Qualified man who runs A Blind School.His Eyes does not need a Vision to illuminate his Way.
