Diamond in the rough
  There strict teacher Mr Sisubalan teaches  maths ,all children of grade 7
watching boringly.
Here comes Gita .
She knocks the door  and says "Excuse me ..sir ."
"Ah Gita every day you are late.
Late comer .late looser
How are u going to study?
You need daily canings."
He brings the cane out and gives five shots on each hand. Her hands  become red.
What a pity! Her tears fall on her face.
Her dress is torn and patched.
She sits in the last bench and no one dares sits next to her because she is from a low class.
She writes with a half broken borrowed pencil  and a tiny eraser.
No one likes her in the class.
She doesn't mind.
She focuses on studies as others tease her.
Gita ,why you have to study?
Do you think you can get a degree or nothing less than to be a house wife.
Gita turns away and bell rings.
Gita lives with her only grandma .Their only home is hay thatched cottage .
Her grandma is sick and she takes care of her. She wakes at 2 am starts to study until 3 am. She fetches water from rivers and well. She goes to paddy cultivation and her vegetable garden.
She works as a farmer and gardener.
At 5 am ,she sells newspapers and vegetables. She goes to florist to decorate and pack flowers for bouquet.
At Sundays and Saturdays she sells fruits , flowers and vegetables at fair.
Then she works as a clever assistant in famous book shop and the manager is kind to her. He also books ,notebooks and pencils. But he can't do it always .
She buys medicine for her grandma and cook food for her. Her grandma is very proud of her. Sometimes she goes fishing and works in garment shop.
Well she also studies and does her homework. She manages everything.
That 's why she is late to school.
Nobody  knows this and she never tells.
   Gita is really happy .
She is afraid too but confident.
 

There come Miss Linda ,she helps Gita
secretly if Mr Sisubalan knows he will plan to fire her because he 's chauvinist
and jealous about her talent.
He always underestimate her when she is young student because she is lazy.
Unexpectedly, his daughter failed and she entered university. Thats why hatred.
Gita hugs Miss Linda and says ,
"Good morning  Madam
I feel very nervous. Why ?"
Linda kisses and says
Well you work and study
But look at other children.
They do nothing except studying.
But some empty bottles can't study.
I know you will definitely pass thus this exam.
Every body writes the test.
Gita performs well.
Who knows what will happen when. When  Linda hears that Gita 's answer sheet hasn't gone. She tries to investigate  with everyone. She finds the torn paper in garbage. She takes this to principal.  There she starts investigating students. Deepa could no more hide the truth and she says what happened  . She grows furious and
Complains to principal. As it may cause
a major issue, he asks both of them leave school ,she is from low class.
Everyone is sad but nothing could do.
Linda requests everyone to hide from Gita what happens.
Gita learns somehow this but before she comes they already  left.
She is in unbearable pain ,it is not the paper but Miss Linda . She never could find such a nice person then Deepa gives a letter .
  
  Dear Gita,
        I had lovely time with you .
Sadly I can't continue with you.
Don't loose your confidence.
You are my great student.
You can score better than rest.
Try try .. you 'll fly. ..
         
            Love
       Linda.
 
Her heart melts but couldn't keep her tears in her eyes.  Every body speaks about Mr .John, American lawyer and Maths teacher is joining school. All bothers except Gita.
Mr John is nice kind man but strict in discipline.  He excuses Gita but couldn't be patient any more. He starts punishing her with canning but he understands that she is used to this .
Once he goes to gym at 4 am, he sees her working in paddy fields.He starts to spy on her and understands all hardships . He asks about Gita with all teachers. They reply that she is good silent girl but nobody bothers because of low class  except the teacher Miss Linda. She helps her very much and Gita also scores good results. They tells what happened in the examination. He feels very sorry for her and visits her grand ma. Her grandma praises about her grand daughter. That morning she comes very late.
He doesn't punish but hugs her and says others about her daily routine.
He supports her in her studies.
But no one could expect this ,her
grand ma 's condition becomes worse and admitted to hospital. There continues famine that strikes all farmers. Nobody dares to help each other. Gita 's looses the job of cultivation. Even she finds difficult in
her own garden .She walks several miles for water. Her grandma 's condition  becomes worse .the medicines are really expensive .
She goes to near by hotel to work all night shifts and some morning shifts.All
She has to wash dishes,cleaning and mopping. She also sells water by collecting from rivers of far distance and delivery business of commodities.
The book shop keeper also lends money
but she refuses it .She knows she cannot pay but he says"It is not a loan".
She 's happy thats enough to look after grandma.  She goes lean and pale.
She finds difficult to concentrate on studies and sometimes she doesn't find time to sleep. She faces insomnia and suffers severely .
She goes to school and collects all notes.
Mr .John worries much about her and he helps her by excuses and teaching all lessons. She has to kneel down ,hear scolding and  punishments.
She studies by herself  and falls sick.
She drinks her own herbal medicines that gives her results from her herbal garden  .She sells sachets of herbs.
She  does others class homework and earns money from them.
She sells clothes all way.
All goes in severe ,where her grandma passes away. She couldn't bear this but has to run life by herself. She feels lonely, so she is afraid too. She feels insecure because  of  the drunkards .
They come often in search of her everyday.She hides in pot and roof.
She thinks to raise dogs .She takes twenty  street dogs and gave her food remains. No one dares to come near.
That day, they come to rape her .They tear her dress ,she starts crying and dogs become furious. They start barking and biting them.They gather around and chase them away.  There comes Linda and sees her torn dress of her and gita on straw bed.Miss Linda starts crying. And Gita wakes up,as she sobs and cries narrating last night .
Linda decides to stay with her .
Gita  waits for her lovely dawn in her life.

There principal announces  about of 1

It is an world famous olympiad .
All students from any age category can participate.
Classes cost rupees 50,000.
Gita is eager to write this exam but how can she pay such amount of money.
She speaks to Mr . John.
Sir, the olympiad.....

Yeah Gita , It is a good opportunity.
But sir I can't pay...
Money  can't be a barrier for this sir.
As you are from America, may you help me to provide notes and books relevant  for exam?
Why not?
Gita ,I can give you but it is difficult  to
study.
Is there no way?
There is, there is request for story writing  for 10,000 Words on success

She sits whole night and writes the story.
She also receives money.
She has to go many paper classes to faraway miles on walk.
She drinks and eats less.
She secretly goes to foreign teachers
houses to clear all her doubts.
She studies while she works in paddy fields and in shop.
The exam falls.
She writes her best.

All look at the noice board.
The one only selected to USA
is Gita.
Gita is very happy.
The news spread wide.
Principal organises a award ceremony for her.
Still a problem remains.
How she is going to live USA.
She is about to make the speech.
My name is Gita.
I m from a pure rural village.
My life is uncomfortable but I worked as an employer in book shop, vendor ,garment factory and paddy fields and garden.

I face lot of problems in my life.
I have to earn to live and study.
Last time I lost my scholarship because of racism and unfair means.

Yes I m from low class , I m poor from very far place ,but
For success
Nothing  is a barrier,
Even though my security became a challenge to me but I had my dogs as my brothers.

Only thing I m afraid about USA, every thing is going to be new.

If I wished bless with good parents.
As she says,she turns around,
A young couple standing behind.
It is Mr .John and Miss Linda.

"WE ARE YOUR PARENTS FROM NOW"

She hugs them and cries happily.

Everyone are do anxious and nervous."Ronald".All cheer s him.Gita is missing. She is working at school laboratory.Fixing all errors. William is watching her work .He sees her hardworking and determination more than competition. He knocks the door. Gita opens not the door ,there gate to success.

He awards her the token to participate in International competition of Robotics. She is very happy.Ronald is not. His jealous is pouring like vine of hemlock. He breaks her legs and hands by pushing her down from hill after night class. Now she is hospitalised. Still she is thinking about the next project. She asks her parents to bring all the necessary equipments. She makes her ward room as a lab . Even though she can't move . She uses her vocalised robot Mian to support her. She reads the scientic theories related to nanotechnology and Cancer.

A rare herb that grows in himalayas.She has no money to do this. William gets this to her. The project is successful. She demonstrates it to all scientists and she is awarded with noble prize. She gets glimpse of nostalgic memories. She wants to do something to her village.She knows how hard for people to get water ,so decides to build a dam from the money that she received from the ceremony. She comes back to India.
