Why Shukracharya is having one eye?

                                  Why Shukracharya is having one eye?

Shukracharya is the teacher of demons. He was teaching the demons all the technics so that they can defeat the angels and occupy heaven. It was the time when King Bali was ruling. He was invincible in many battles.  Now he was eyeing heaven.
Because of this, king of heaven Indra was shocked. He begged God Vishnu for help. Vishnu agreed and born as Vaman. After his holy thread ceremony, which was done instaneously he went near King Bali to ask for alms. That time, Sukracharya had come to know who is this Vaman .
In order to deactivate Bali from giving alms, he hid in the vessel containing water  which will be used while giving alms. But Vaman came to know of this. He put a grass in the pipe through which water will come out. Sukracharya was sitting there itself keeping his eye through the hole of the pipe to see what is happening outside. As Vaman put grass stick, it directly damaged his one eye.
From that time onwards, He was having only one eye and famous because of that.
