Zindagi means Life in Persian or in modern day Hindu, So this is Zindagi an artist who went totally blind but is able to see colors when he paints



----"Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible."----


Just because someone is blind doesn’t mean they can't see.
Zindagi—or Zin —was a perfect example of that. He was born without sight in a small town called Shimla. It was a beautiful place, filled with rolling green mountains, rushing rivers, and quaint houses clustered together. Zin couldn’t see that beauty with his eyes, however. As he grew up, his family took him to as many temples and healers as their small purse would allow. They all said the same thing: he would never be able to see. His family wept, howled, prayed, and cursed, but nothing changed, so they eventually accepted their little boy exactly as he was.
He grew up happy enough, always smiling. At times, his parents even forgot he was blind because the way he navigated the world suggested he could actually see; some in the village called it a small blessing.
By the age of five, Zin discovered the small pieces of charcoal from the cooking fires. At first, the doodles he made looked like nonsense, but slowly, people noticed he was drawing coherent shapes. Over the next few years, Zin learned to listen to the song of a bird and draw it, or listen to the wind blowing through the leaves and sketch the sound. Of course, they weren’t exact in every detail, but they were already better than the work of some local artists who had their sight. Murmurs were abundant, but his family sheltered him, shooing away anyone who grew too negative.
One old artist in town grew fond of the happy little boy. In an act of spontaneous generosity, he decided to share his precious colored pencils, which had been brought from a distant village. Zin took to them immediately. It was then discovered that when using colors, Zin could "see." At first, people thought he had miraculously gained his sight, but after many tests, the only thing that remained consistent was that his vision only triggered when he used color in his drawings.
The old artist let him practice as much as he wanted. Soon, his sketches were in high demand, as people believed they brought good luck to their homes. Years later, his family sent for a package of colored powdered dyes for his art. Then, one day, they did something wild: they mixed the dye into a pot of cheap paint and let him paint the outside of their house a bright, sunny blue.
That set the neighbors twittering! Everyone was unsure of what to make of it; they had never seen a painted house before, especially not a blue one. But Zin loved it. He began describing the outside of his family home, and his parents wept. His special vision allowed him to see colors only when he applied them. If his mother described her purple sari with gold trim and he used his pencils to draw her, he could see it in his mind.
Each time he produced a sketch, it brought his parents such an immense joy. Pretty soon, the neighbors saw how beautiful the blue house looked and began begging him to paint theirs. Some did the work themselves, but most wanted Zin to do it so he could "see" the whole village. It made him smile every time another house joined the village rainbow.
Over the years, his talent and style grew to encompass everything imaginable, but his ego never followed suit. He remained in his heart that happy, vibrant boy from a small and now very very colorful village. He lived a long life, and with every stroke of a brush, his 'vision' expanded. By the end, he didn't just see the colors he painted; he felt them like a heartbeat. When he walked through the streets, he didn't need a cane—he navigated by the 'glow' of the blue house, the warmth of the yellow fence, and the spirit of the rainbow village he had created. He proved to everyone that sight isn't something that happens in the eyes, but something you build with your own two hands.

"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way—things I had no words for."Quotes by:Paul KleeGeorgia O'Keeffe
