SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TITLE OF "THE EYES HAVE IT" BY RUSKIN BOND

Answer:    The word ‘eyes’ in the title “The Eyes Have It” signifies the inner eyes. Here in this story, the author Ruskin Bond has presented two characters—the narrator and his only girl co-passenger, both of them are blind. But we see that both of them try to hide their blindness from each other. Also both of them speak with each other like an eye-sighted man and they describe the outside of the train, beauty of Mussoorie so fantastically as if they can see. The writer thinks that it has been possible for those two blind characters only by the power of their inner eyes. So, the title of the story may be interpreted in this way that the inner eyes have it i.e. the power to see the the unseen. The title of this story is very much apt.
