  The crowd at north bus stand seemed to be an ocean of people,most friday evenings are like this. 
Raghu was standing at a corner with a huge luggage. ' Appa what is it ? '   Manu, Raghu's son, asked him by pointing his finger to a floor cleaner.    
" Son, it is a robot. It cleans the floor ". 
Manu really wanted to know more about the floor cleaner.But the bus to thamarassery had arrived.Raghu held Manu's hand and got into the bus.They got a seat in the back. Raghu gave the window seat to Manu.  
Manu's face was filled with anxiety and wonder. When the bus started, Manu Started asking doubts. Raghu replied to each of his doubts patiently. Manu's voice was very loud.all the passengers were looking at them. When the bus climbed up the hairpin bend Manu started howling loudly. He started screaming and singing.The travellers watched him curiously.
One of the passenger sitting nearby asked : " Why is this boy behaving like a child ? ".  Raghu smiled politely and said, "until a week back he was blind,this is his first trip after his surgery.he is viewing this world for the first time. I can't but let him enjoy this ! ". 
Yes, Manu actually is not a child. 
He is 21 years old, born with darkness in his eyes. 
Now he is able to see Everything.
