42-day old infant talks to blind mother

Imphal, May 31 : This is not Ripley`s believe it or not story. But this is the hottest topic of gossipers in and around Moirang locality in Bishnupur district of Manipur. According to the local people there, a 42-day old infant talks to his blind mother during night time assuring his blind parents that he would make them see after he attained three months!

Whether the news is true or not is for anyone to find out for himself or herself, but curious locals have started thronging the house of this wonder child.

Mema and Oinam Sanayaima of Thanga Oinam village in Bishnupur district, both blind, who had their first contact while attending a blind school run by the Presbyterian Mission, were married in 2006. Fortytwo days ago on April 12, the couple received their first born male child at Churachandpur district hospital.

Doctors at the hospital said that the child would be able to have normal eyesight unlike his blind parents.

Mema is known for her ability to heal sickness through prayers which she proudly claims was a gift of God to her in a vision. Today, she also proudly claims that her child has also been a gift of God, who will change their (she and her husband) lives, something which she has already seen in her vision.

When Newmai News Network went to see the wonder child on Friday at their present location at Moirang Lamkhai Hemam Leikai, 40 kilometers from Imphal, in Bishnupur district, a sizeable inquisitive crowd had thronged their house trying to get a glimpse of the wonder child.

The blind mother of the child, Mema, told NNN that she and her husband have been moving as directed by God in her vision, which also made them stay in their present house at Moirang Lamkhai. Mema said that God had instructed her to venture out from their house before the child attained three months.

As such, they had moved to Thanga Khunjao and Sendra in Bishnupur district earlier before coming to Moirang Lamkhai.

The curiosity that had imbued the minds of the people and that made the topic of discussion searing is - believe it or not, the one and half-month child speaks to his mother during night time and assures his parents they would have a normal eyesight. However, when asked whether rumors spreading around the child are accurate, the mother preferred to conceal the secret.
