The writer is an author. TO Lahoris, Sheranwala is one of the 12 gates that led into the ancient walled city. To New Yorkers, it was the portal through which they were admitted into the mind of the gifted writer Ved Mehta. Ved was born in Lahore in March 1934. He died in New York on Jan 9, 2021. In his benighted youth, Ved attended the then Emerson School of the Blind located near Sheranwala Gate.

Determined to do more with his life than threading cane chairs or playing a musical instrument, he moved to the United States at the age of 15. There, at Arkansas School for the Blind, in Little Rock, he learned to compensate for the loss of one of his senses by refining the other four.
