Micro story
Sushil was called an open eyed boy for he was born with his eyes open and that not to be closed ever in his life making true of a fortuneteller of the native village that was to be earmarked for out of reach of the boy as no open eyed boy used to stay at a place for long. Since his birth he had been so true to his God given insignia for discomforts of many including parents' bed time embarrassments and that of teachers in classes of dozing students.
Sushil was called an open eyed boy for he was born with his eyes open and that not to be closed ever in his life making true of a fortuneteller of the native village that was to be earmarked for out of reach of the boy as no open eyed boy used to stay at a place for long. Since his birth he had been so true to his God given insignia for discomforts of many including parents' bed time embarrassments and that of teachers in classes of dozing students.
The ever opened eyes in youth helped Sushil immensely to look ahead for a parchment written with golden Gothic capital letters for the wonder of natives and later to be declared as born genius endowed with the open eyes for the bunch of blinds who periodically rejoice their inherent quality of discovery even with their utter blindness, for they themselves had chosen to night watchings as soon as they knew all the works were to be done in night for the success of the legal as well as illegal stake holders.
Stake holders turned visibly humble in turn for showing their ingenuity with deception for utter discomfort to Sushil as all of them by the time have known not only the dimension of his eyes aperture but also thickness of his eye-glass frame and more how the shade of the frame camouflage the eyes confusing all others to open eyed.
Sushil had no go then accepting himself with the unholy agreement except at few times feeling the chilled darkness in his eye balls. While rubbing his eyes from the balcony few managed snaps at the height of audacity and discomfort of stake holders and worst, they even discovered his eye-sockets closed for ever but felt horrified to show that to others. Still all for believing good , together decided to add one more parchment with desi golden letters 'The Open Eyed Boy' in exchange of a tickle to Sushil as by that time he had forgotten what a tickling was .

Sir, Narration is too good. I felt the story would be more inspiring if it had a happy ending for the open eyed blind boy.
if you understood the story correctly and all the symbolism, could you please throw some light on also ? we are still struggling to arrive at the perfect interpretation...
I read your story. It is a good one and quite sharp.
