I Am That Girl : Postscript To My Bio

I am a girl who decided to go to school barefoot, because that’s what other young children from needy families in a village were used to… I am a girl whose best childhood memory is playing with sapphire waves on a tranquil seaside and listening to chimes soaring from a temple… I am a girl who read novels every afternoon to comfort her fragile grandmother critically ill suffering with deadly cancer… A girl who sent the domestic help to school, and taught the boy language and math whenever she could...in a country where that was unheard of… I am a girl who started teaching with lot of work and very little pay even though her husband earned a handsome salary, enough to live a life of comfort… A girl who passionately attended a craft class in an unfavourable, almost scary, situation in a country where women did not drive and travel by themselves… I am that girl who renewed her passions and started writing with a goal of being published, at the mature age when she completed all her family responsibilities… Notes: recently wrote a bio-poem “I am who I am” for a contest and posted on Soup. Now wondering…isn’t this my real bio!!!!
