Rani has finally got her visa for higher studies in the US. Since moving to Hyderabad after college, she got kind of jaded about just about everything. Her sole aim was to pursue a career in Physiotherapy in the US. I was keen that she appeared for the CAT and do a MBA at the IIM.
But she was reluctant. She felt disgraced at doing something other than treating patients. And the belief that India is not a good place to make money out of this profession made her all the more determined to make it to the US. And I've got to admit that she is one of those truly deserving people who overcome steep odds to make their dreams come true.
It seems like the end of something for her. A finish line. The tough part of the fight with life is over. No more crying, no more depression. Maybe it is the end of the long hard climb of childhood, the freedom, the independence, the sheer desperation of wanting to stand confidently on her own feet. The last two years have been a nightmare. With just no escaping from the 'what if' questions nagging her. There were times when the dreams seemed shattered and time was moving very slowly. But she climbed her way, never felt helpless or objectified.
It also is the beginning of something new, something fresh, the feeling of something good that's happened in a long long time, something exciting to look forward to. Atleast 'something' to look forward to. Hope this good time continues for the rest of her life. May she have the most amazing time of her life and live her beautiful dream.
