Diadem Mrs India Legacy classic & Most talented 2019

My life has been like this quote of Mark Twain that says, “ twenty years from now you will be more disap pointed by the things you didn’t do. So , throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore* Dream * Discover” Life, however, has not always been such a smooth sail. But a silent sea never made a skilled sailor. As far as I remember I have always been a role. More than an individual I would always identify as a role, one of , a supporting younger sister, a caring elder sister, an obedient daughter, a loving wife and the biggest role of all. That of being a Mother. Somehow, in between all these roles I was never able to find myself. She was always peeping at ne , poking me at different stages, trying to come out of the shadows but I would always dismiss her for something that would require my urgent attention As time went by u slowly and successfully buried her under the weight of my responsibilities. She would knock at my heart once in a way just to be ignored. Until one say having gone into a very dark zone due to post patrum depression I finally let go. I was blank, I was lost, I was broken, I was scared. But I persevered . One step at a time I tried to claim myself and my life from the death grip of the depression I was going through. As fictional as it sounds, I danced my way out of that dark place. The shy country mouse of a girl who used to hide behind the shadows of others started holding the spotlight at different stages. At 40, when most women think that this is the end of their dreams, I started weaving mine. It with sheer determination that I won the Mrs. India title. And this proved to be great booster to the flight I was planning on taking. Since then, I have modelling, acting, dancing, being ab influencer to society and women who are where i once was, in a very dark place. To them I extend my hand , through my journey I want to let all the girls and women around the world know . No matter what you do , no matter how many times you screw up and think to yourself there’s no point to carry on, no matter how many people tell you that you can’t do it- keep going. Don’t stop. Don’t quit. Because a month from now you will be that much closer to your goal than you are now. Yesterday you might have said tomorrow, make your today count.
