When we used to go to school by the school bus, there was a shift of the bus which used to take college students also. There was a girl’s college where most of the girls of our place had done their graduation and post graduation. I had seen Kiran didi there only. But we hardly interacted we each other. Our locality was different. She has one younger brother and sister. Both of them are married. She has decided that she will not marry. When we shifted in our own house, after my dad, Kiran didi used to live somewhere else. But after three or four years, she also shifted to our locality only. Her younger sister was studying graduation and Arts that time. Uncle was in PWD and aunty is a housewife.

We interacted with each other and somehow we became friends. She was studying LLB during that time. She wanted to go for Civil Services also. She had joined a coaching for the preparation of UPSC Exams and was doing LLM separately. After a long struggle and hard work she has cleared her exams. She got a posting in Patna as a Civil Judge. She used to get up early in the morning to go for her coaching classes. After that she had college. In between there was a proposal for her younger sister. We enjoyed that marriage a lot. Then after some time her brother also got married. But she has never looked back. One day we went to University to collect my degree certificates. Both of us were wearing the same salwar kameez with different colour. It was a coincidence. When we were crossing the road, some people noticed that. It was fun for us. When she got the posting she went to Patna. She is practicing there with full energy and dedication.
