She travels to various countries as a cultural ambassador
She is her school representative at debates
She is her schools cultural head
She is a state level champion at classical dance
She is interning as a fine visual artist with a book publisher
She is in college pursuing applied arts
She stands first in her dance diploma exams
She can do a headstand
She teaches children ancient art forms in govt schools
Now imagine this
She lives in a home not larger than 6 feet by 8 feet
She awakens at 5am to help her father prepare cholas for his bhatura cart or redi food stall
She scrubs the utensils at night for her five siblings
She delivers clothes as a presswali
She cleans her father’s auto rickshaw
She cooks all the food for her younger brothers
She only eats the cheapest possible food available
She often sees her mother with no voice
She is however full of hope and promise for the future
She recognizes that she is not a statistic
She is power
She is compassion
She is love and confidence
She is selfworth
She is Sarvam Shakti.
