I owe everything I have to you and the sacrifice you have put in.

So beautiful, Chetna! Thanks for writing.

Have seen my parents too encounter the comments like "“ beti ko kyun padhana hai” “zamana theek nahi hai bhai sahab” “Akele kaise rahegi”.

And this essay took me back to the one week before my UPSC results. Same to same feeling.

Thanks Suruchi for reading. True, we owe a lot to our parents, for believing and then fighting small battles daily for years.

It's so beautiful, reading about your stories :) Truly inspiring, and some of us have had similar journeys in life, and more such journeys to come in life. I can relate to this, looking at my past, and it's a reminder for keeping on heading toward goals and dreams yet to be achieved. Thank you again for sharing your story.
