She used to work very hard, always score top marks in her class, She was bright in studies during her school times and always stood 1st in class. During her 10th class, even though, she has to do all the household work, but still managed to be a Centre topper in her board exams and was felicitated by education officer for the same.

Somehow she cleared her 12th class and later pursued her degree in computer science but during graduation same thing continued. She battled with depression and exam phobia for almost 6 to 7 years without any medication. She completed her graduation, but what next, she was not prepared. She stopped talking with people and liking anything. While many of her colleague were preparing for bank exams and other jobs, but she did not feel like doing it.
