MUMBAI: Ashish Goyal looks like a typical 25-year-old in a loose T-shirt, jeans and a jacket thrown over. He parties regularly, likes hanging out at pubs and discos and loves watching movies with friends.
The only difference is that he is one of the few Indians who have made it to Wharton, USA, for an MBA. And he's blind.
He wasn't born blind, but gradually began losing vision after the age of 15 due to a disease called retinitis pigmentosa.
By 18, he couldn't see at all. Through the trauma he went through during those painful years, he realised that he had an important choice to make.
