77 years old, Baburam came to get his eyes tested. He stays in Mahalaxmi and drives a taxi. He had got
cataract surgery done over 15 years ago but off late has started having problems with his near vision. He
finds everything blurring when he tries to see things up close.
After checking his eyes he has been advised further tests at Bhojraj Chanrai Sankara Eye Hospital in
Malad, for retina problems.
He plans to go soon and says that “Aankh hoga tohi kaam kar sakoonga” meaning, only if I have my sight,
will I be able to work.
