A story of dream...



Life is so different than what we think, two stage of my life given me a lesson about he life, that do not try just fly with the flow of life's wish. When I completed my graduation, it was not possible for me to go out and do further study it was far from my home, my dad did not wanted me to go out and do study. I compromise, as it was my skill that I was able to do nice embroidery and dress design, thank god...!!! at least my dad support me to do fashion designing short term course, one day he came to me and show the admissions in university where travelling was easy for me. I join short term course of fashion designing, it was also one of my favorite work to start. 



I was about to finish my short term course, my exam was there and communal riots happen in my area, my teacher told me to not come to the class, because as a Muslim girl it was dangerous for me, Hindu community was attaching to the Muslim community. However, for me the fees paid by my dad was so important, that, if I drop my exam I have to pay the total fees again and give exam, I told to my teacher that, its ok I will manage but let me be here, my last one month only left I do not want to spend money again. I continue travelling in riots. I completed my all assignments and exam. When I was doing that course I also started designing and embroidery work for extra earning. It was settle now, around ten women was working with me, but because of riots they drop to coming for work at my workshop. It was quite difficult time for me, as I was mentally prepare to become, Fashion Designer, as also was trying to do Fashion Management study in best collage. But this was the time when I was not able to go out. Now what...???



I was doing some work at home, because outside atmosphere was not good, in terms of safety. One day, three girls come to meet me asked me to teach tailoring and embroidery work to riots affected women who was staying in the camps ( a place occupied temporary to them to stay) I thought ok it is good chance to be active, I went there and met them, I started teaching them, after three months almost, 25 women got training and started working, the NGO who has offered me this, has offered me to join with them full time, and asked me to become employee of them, I did not have any idea about the NGO work and I hear that about the NGO first time. It was the time when social worker and support was required by nice people. I join that NGO without knowing anything, this was the organization who are working with women empowerment and supporting women so they were there to support women who was affected in riots. I also join and started working. The thought to become a fashion designer was out of my mind, as I saw so many women in difficulty, some was harassed and raped by other community, it was the difficult time for them, I decide to be with them. 



I worked with the NGO for three years, after doing counseling, case opening, and health related work I was mentally disturb as my age was only 22 at that time, but I worked with fully dedication, after three years, I decided for my further study, and left the organization. But, what to study, as I was in NGO people suggested me to join social work course, but I was also working in radio station simultaneously and I was writing, so journalism was also in my mind, now the struggle start again, I saw murder in front of my house which was not properly reported by the news channel and newspaper so I thought to become a honest journalist, and one who can give authentic data and reporting to the people. So, thought to join journalism course, but still people was forcing me to join social work I was so confuse, It took two years to decide what to do, but I did what was in my mind strongly, because to provide information to the people and real and authentic information is must, I can do social work after become journalist and I am doing, then finally I clear journalism exam and become journalist, and I am trying to give real authentic information to the people. 



I do never trust on people who say, it is not doubt but sometime we see differently, so I do that, I visit the place confirm the situation then speak, I love my job and it is also give satisfaction...how the life is moving, my dream was to become Fashion Designer, but my destiny was to become journalist, so that, I am saying, that do not try anything, everything is happening own their own, life is giving us the best, and what is best for us...
