Among those thousands a fresher was Shashank who got admission in this CDE engineering college through sports category. He was a national level cricket player.

ANGER AND REALIZATION;  I would wake up early in the morning around 4:00 am, sit in the corner, clinging to things that happened, diverting my mind and taking a book to read, shift to exercise, turn the radio on and  turn it off. Rush to the bathroom to brush my teeth, down to kitchen make myself tea, make breakfast. Anything, anything to get away from that situation,... from what? I don't know what, but I knew I was escaping.  Life was so easy back then; I would get up late, call for my mother for coffee. Serving the breakfast right in my hands and taunt her for seasons that would go less for me. 'Ma, why do you put so less salt in kichidi, it doesn't taste good at all.' And for once 'Ma its too much salt in it, too much salty. You alone have this, I am going out for lunch with friends.' But my mom being so nice all the time would never say a word to me. She would always reply politely in soft and low voice: 'Beta please adjust for once.' And now when I...

 ADOPTION AND DONATION;  It was the year 2018,  Introducing myself, Anupama in Orissa,  I didn't give up on my dreams and my talent. They were my best friends. I continued my dance classes and living my life back in the same small apartment with some cash left in my hand and salary that I was getting paid for.  Sitting with my diary in hand I am taken aback reading the goals and the promises that I made to myself.  Was it all my decisions fault, which lead me to take another path that has changed my life totally. I was standing in line with other girls with same kind of feeling probably thinking to get adopted today. Line extended, months passed,years passed.  I was fed up standing in the line, waiting and hoping that  "today is the day that is going to happen".   It was because very few couples came to adopt the girls and they were very choosy in doing it. My fellow girls got their t...

Raja is our ox who's age was equal to mine.  Raja and dad were my family. Dad loved me and him very much. We both have spent nearly 12 years of our age with Daddy.  We had small farm nearby our village which dad had got it from his ancestors. We survived because of that field on which dad farmed.  Without any late I quickly freshened up and followed Raja and Daddy. I saw dad was ploughing the field after our last crop was harvested.  I enjoyed this because I used to run in our field and Daddy would run after me asking me to stop doing it.

Daddy used to say that she lived alone and she w...
