True meaning of vision, as explained by Ankita Bargale

Vision is not the view of the world outside, it is the view inside, deep into our soul. Our bodies deteriorate and change overtime, but still, whatever we think becomes our reality. With a focused vision on making her life beautiful, Ankita Bargale created a beautiful world for herself, when she lost the ability to see the world normally.

Asking children not to watch too much TV or play computer games, as it will negatively affect their eyesight, has become a regular phrase for parents. But how can someone deal with sudden loss of sight without doing anything that negatively affects eye? 
Ankita Bargale not only dealt with the accident but also overcame it and became a successful banker. Talking about what happened, Bargale said, “I was in the first year of my college, when I suddenly lost my eyesight.” 
She explained that a vein behind retina started drying out, which reduced her vision to barely 10%. “I didn’t have any accident nor did anything that would have caused it, and there is no cure for it,” she said.
At the verge of starting her life, she felt it was ending with her vision. “I had to quit college and stay at home,” Bargale said. While she was struggling to accept the reality, she was often questioned about her ambitions. “I had to rediscover my ambitions, while dealing with the fact that I am visually impaired (VI),” she added.
After two tough years, she met Sunita Mahajan, who helped visually impaired students in studying. “She told me that I have to listen and learn now,” Bargale said. 
Unfortunately, recordings for college were not available. “My mother would read my books to me again and again,” she shared. After concentrating and improving her memorising power, Bargale finally cleared her graduation.
She further prepared for bank entrance and became a banker in a bank.
