Remember the bollywood movie 'Black'? Well, for some people it was truly black. We may have come across many such people in our lives. But how many times have we stopped to think that countless number of people may be out there yearning to see in real everything they visualise. Every moment of their lives. Or maybe not.
Maybe they have accepted black as the only colour. But wait a minute! That does not mean they may would not jump at the very chance of seeing the colours of life if someone ever came up to them and gave them just a chance! However short lived that may be.
Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF), Udaipur decided to take a beautiful vision forward. The organisation has identified a public charitable trust Alakh Nayan Mandir, an eye institute in Udaipur to extend support and give the trust's initiatives the momentum it deserved.
