Onwards and Upwards
This is one of the greatest moment of my life when my strong idol, my mother watched me on TV and she was in tears of joy........
While i was approaching to present the bouquet to the Honourable Prime Minister of India, the only thought came to my mind was, “ Thankyou MAA for believing in me”.
YES, i am a female and the first woman from 7(UP) Air Squadron , to achieve the best pilot Gold Medal on National Level in Zen Air Microlight Aircraft at All India Vayu Sainik.
“ But “..... My journey was never that easy.....
At a very young age i experienced a glaring disparity between boys and girls in the society. But me and my sister were fortunate and privileged to have parents who always supported and protected us .
They gave us the basic neccessity of every child’s life i.e ’Education’, the biggest tool which always guided me to develop a right perspective of looking at life and be the change.
The most unfortunate time in my life was when i lost my father. People who were my families advised my mother to pull me out of the school as according to them i was ready to be married at the age of 16.
But my strong mother took a step forward, fought against the unethical norms of the society and persuaded me and my sister to never ever feel ourselves different from a Man.
I always remember her saying, “The reign of all the girls present and future in our country is now on us and we have to remove this unlawful discrimination between a boy and a girl and prove them wrong. We are the pillars of change now”.
From then onwards we never stopped!
