Thought provoking poem; beauty or ugliness sometimes deceives us but can’t do the same with the mirror, which in general speaks the truth. On the contrary, a ‘perfect’ blindness may also take us to the Truth what a mirror can’t do! Chandan

The mirror's judgement is her own, while the blind boy's is from a person's imagination.

O how beautiful the poem is! So simply written but too brilliant /// Mirror has real eyes which depicts our reality but we the blind can't see or find our own reality!
