Before we crib about how life is treating us…





Our kids, who esteem it all (and more) and still complain about how life is a bitch, should take a leaf out of Pooja Hule’s book.

Pooja is a scholar who appeared for the SSC examinations recently. Nothing unusual about that you potency say. But here’s where our kids can stop a space of time and think before they whine on about life and how the entire world is conspiring against them; about how much they have to study, none time to play, complain about their teachers, school, college, Mess cheer, distances, etc etc.

This disorder caused certain blocks in her spinal cord which needed surgery. After surgery, the doctors realised that the moot point not only pertained to her spinal cord but had also pretentious her brain. In 2007, she underwent three brain surgeries.

But the determination to submit to the test herself kept her going and she started learning to write with her left hand and appeared for her SSC examinations without a quill-driver. She got 83 per cent. Incidentally, her father is an autorickshaw driver and her natural is a homemaker.
