📝 My First Blog – A New Beginning
Hello dear readers,
This is my first ever blog, and I’m so happy to start this new journey with all of you.
Through this space, I’ll be sharing my thoughts, life experiences, and everything close to my heart.
👋 Let Me Introduce Myself
My name is Shrikanth Mathapathi, and I’m from Chittapur, a proud town in Kalaburagi district, Karnataka. This blog is my humble space — a place where I share my story, my struggles, my strength, and my dreams.
🌱 My Story
I was born like any other child — with full vision and a heart full of curiosity.
But when I was just 6 years old, I lost my eyesight due to jaundice.
It was a life-changing moment — one that took away my sight, but gave me something greater: resilience and purpose.
Today, I am a completely blind person, and yet I see the world through hope, learning, and dreams.
👨👩👦👦 My Family
We are four in our family:
👩👦 My mother,
👨👦 My two elder brothers,
And myself.
My father passed away due to tuberculosis, but his strength still lives within us.
My family has always stood by me, no matter what life brought.
