Here is the resume of a foreign mumin student in USA on student visa from Indore, India. The resume may not look that inspiring but when you know that the person has been blinded with both eyes from a bird-hit while flyng a plane as a pilot 12 years ago, we can only say 'WOW, THIS is impressive!'  There is lot to learn from the heroic struggle of this young Blind mumin bhai who refuses to give up even after losing his eyes in 1996 when he was 22.
