  A blind man has solved a Rubik's Cube nine months after he first began the puzzle.
  
  
  Sameer Doshi, 32, who was left permanently blind by an incorrect dosage of steroid drops during cataract surgery, refused to let his lack of sight hold him back from challenges.
  
  So he set himself the task of learning to solve a Rubik's Cube because it was portable and silent meaning he wouldn't wake his baby daughter late at night.
  
  
  
  

  And for my next challenge! Sameer Doshi with his daughter and Rubik's Cube which he solved despite being blind
  
  
  He modified the puzzle using Velcro, plastic gems and Dora the Explorer puffy stickers so he could use his sense of touch to try and line up the colours.
  
  After nine months of perseverance Mr Doshi, an engineer by trade, has solved the complex, puzzle made popular during the 1980s.
   
  
  
  Mr Doshi, from Illinois, U.S., said: 'Solving the Rubik's Cube made me realise there are practically no limits to what I or anyone else can do.portant that people push themsel
  
  'I think it's very imves and not let little things like blindness get in the way of making the world a better place.
  
  
  

  Mr Doshi modified the puzzle using velcro, plastic gens and Dora the Explorer stickers so he could use his sense of touch to line up the colours
  
  
  'For my next challenge I'm going to run for and win a seat on the Illinois House of Representatives.
  
  
  'Many people have told me it will be too difficult to win as a blind man - but I solved a Rubik's Cube while blind so I believe anything is possible.'
