Unlike every girl, getting married was never on my list of
desires. Since my teenage, I always wished that I would do something different
but what’s exactly I wanted, it was yet to be explored.
School, college and university…time passed all too soon!
After post graduation, I felt blank, what’s next? the question always occupied
my mind. Job? Being at home? Doing Nothing? …..and lots of similar questions
chased me for few years. As I belonged to a small town Rohtak in Haryana, there
were not much career options for girls except teaching.
Willingly or unwillingly, I joined a school and started
educating children. At a point of time, I realized that that was not the place
where I could give my best. Endless restrictions by school management never allowed
me to train children in a way I could do. They could not make the most of my
skills and caliber which could not only educate students but make them learn a
lot of things about life.
Soon, I started exploring for something which could make me
happy as a professional. One Sunday Morning, I was reading newspaper ‘Hindustan
Times’ after having breakfast. It was when I got to know about an opportunity in Delhi
where I could do much more than teaching. It was about ‘Writing’ which I would
wish to learn and go ahead. Without wasting a minute, I simply shared my wish
to my father who assured that he would accompany me for the interview.
Next week, we commuted to Delhi with a pair of clothes,
educational certificates and few books. As I belonged to a small town, facing
interview at Delhi was not easy for me. I was a shy person and dam nervous at
the moment. All my worries were disappeared when the employer declared that I
got selected and that too on a salary which I used to get after working for 6
months in Rohtak. Without thinking much, I joined and here my writing career
finally started.
I worked hard and one after another, there were multiple
projects, I took care of and soon got promoted as a Manager. Life was completely
changed. I had money, friends and above all, ‘Writing’. After 3 years, I joined
another job and moved on…from teacher to writer, from trainer to manager, from dancer to performer, I had
many roles to play. But one thing that never changed was ‘Writing’, it got me
along for 8 years and today I am married to a person who has always encouraged
me to become an exceptional writer. Hope I will make his dream come true one
day! The efforts are continued……
