Subramani Lakshminarayanan is one of the very few totally blind journalists in India with twenty-three years of experience in reporting, feature writing, copyediting and products/book reviewing. He lost his eyesight aged 18 due to a genetic condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa (R.P.) and was told he'll be useless because of his disability. Also, many told him that he was “crazy” to pursue his dream of becoming a journalist. But in April 2003, he became an editorial staff with the famous daily Deccan Herald in Bangalore In India. He has since written a memoir on his blindness called “Lights Out: The True Story Of A Man's Descent Into Blindness” published by Random House India in 2014, besides expanding his writing portfolio to include blog writing, ghostwriting books and online content writing.
