On yet another dull, dreary, gloomy and heart rending day when yet another three year old toddler was brutally raped and killed by a 21 year old youth in Andhra Pradesh's Karimnagar Town, the awe inspiring, jaw dropping and seemingly unbelievable story of 24 year old Mumbai resident Prema not only acts as a beacon of light in these dull and gloomy times but also serves as an example worth emulating for other Indian womenfolk..........
Prema who is the daughter of Jayakumar Perumal a humble auto rickshaw driver and resident of the Mumbai suburb of Malad achieved the unique distinction of topping the National level Chartered Accountant's examination with an aggregate score of 607/800 (75.66%)........
What is even more heartening is the fact that this bright young lady cleared this seemingly insurmountable hurdle at the first attempt despite studying out of a 300 square foot chawl which is not exactly a salubrious atmosphere for such a mind boggling activity........
"The atmosphere was certainly a bit stifling, but never ever proved to be a deterrent", according to the 24 year old Prema as she was singularly focussed on aceing the exams thereby making her doting parents and teachers immensely proud of her in the bargain........
This all India topper attributes her success to the sterling efforts of her parents and teachers; especially her parents who ensured that her path was strewn with roses all the way despite having studied till class 5 and 3 respectively and toiling long hours as an autorickshaw driver and domestic help for almost their entire lives.........
What is even more heart warming and inspiring is the fact that her younger sibling Dhanraj (22) who calls his elder sister his mentor and inspiration in life also registered at ICAI along with her and scored a rather modest 450/800 in the very same qualifying examinations.......
Both the siblings now plan to complete their article ship by April and subsequently become proud and contributing members of India's burgeoning corporate world, "we have everything planned down to a T", the brother and sister go on to say, shyly confiding that setting up a firm of their own in the long run is their ultimate goal in life.........
Fellow Indians, I hereby give you Prema Perumal a living example of the dictum "that nothing is unachievable, if you are determined and singularly focussed on your ultimate goal", a shining example of making it big on her own accord with lots of help from her proud parents and teachers every step of the way........
24 year old Prema Perumal, a young Indian woman, inspiration for millions of others like her and a living embodiment of the fact that the Indian woman is in no way inferior to her supposedly superior male counterpart............
