Rajahmundry: When a doctor asks a four-year-old visually challenged Bangari Anjibabu what he will do immediately after getting vision? Without any hesitation, the boy replies: "I want to go to school and play with children in the morning and watch `Pokiri', Telugu movie, in the evening along with my parents."

When the same question is asked to other five visually challenged children, they in turn ask G. Madhavi of Goutami Eye Institute in Rajahmundry: "Is it possible for them to see the world."

All the six children got vision after surgery on the day of Independence Day. Fiver children from Nakkapalli near Tuni and another from Lakshminarayana Devipeta near Jangareddygudem underwent surgery on Monday and got vision on Tuesday.

The operations were performed by Dr. Madhavi of Goutami Eye Institute.
