"There is someone destined for us no matter how we avoid it."
Rani believed the same for many years till she grew up in one of the unpopular villages of Bihar, India.

She was now 22-years old and her life has turned 180-degrees when she saw that her father was sacked off the government job for a fraud case which her father was not even invovled with.

Basically, beauroucrats needed to blame someone and her father was quite naive and innocent to never point it out that he was actually not be blamed.

As the episode took turns in her life, the family income dwindled. It was tough for her father at the age of 52 to find a new job or start farming in the fields.

Rani was also the only child and they had no boy to do the deed and run the family.

In this scenario of life, Rani had no choice but to forget her dreams and aspirations. She started looking for a part-time job so she could complete her college side by side.

Then, one fine day, when savings in the house were almost over, she finally got the job at the local farmer's house as an accountant.

She spend her days there by learning something new about farming and farmer's market. She was so intelligent and quick to learn that by the end of the month, her onw boss, Vishwas Gangadhar, raised her salary from 15,000 to 20,000 per month.

The boss witnessed her hard work and saw how she could tell from the farmer's credit and financial history if they were to be given any further loan or not.

Gangadhar also commented to his fellow rich farmer's of the neighbouring villages that he has got a gem of a person in Rani but he too realized that this girl met a fair share of unlucky days in her life.

That was relatable because after working for four months with him, Rani faced a mother tragedy when her mother passed away due to unknown disease. She repented for not letting her mother diagnose her regular cough and cold with a better and more practised doctor from the town.

It took Rani and her father majorly one year to recover from the pain and grief. By this time, she had completed her graduation kn B.com from distance learning with online classes and practical experience at Gangadhar's farmer's office.

By now, she was confident that she could look for better earning jobs in the town. However, at this time, the country was in recession as the market was low and the global climate was turning the produce every year. It felt like a curse to live a life in a village But she had sheer determination to grow out of this stigma.

So she kept applying to Patna and other well-established towns, passing a long her resume and other credentials.

It felt like she was meant to be rejected one after another. Every day felt like the same nowadays.

But Rani wanted the change and she understood only she could bring about the same when everything is blocked and not letting her find a way. She was determined she will make her own way.

So she saved enough money and went to town herself. It was the first ever solo trip she committed...
