Returning from school,walking past the dingy lanes of the slum, Shivani finally landed in the room where she lived with her family.The room was compact but the atmosphere was always cheerful and bloomy with the presence of this powerpacket.She was fascinated towards books and following her ritual took a book from the shelf she herself had created with cardboards borrowed from the junk dealer on request.She sat on a corner and hardly had she started that the power supply got disrupted.It was nothing unusual for her,she was accustomed to it and took a candle,lit it and continued reading.She read the story of ‘The Hare in the Moon’ and went straight to the window to glaze at the moon to live check if she could correlate with the story she had just read.She was amazed by glancing at it and realising how the glowing moon remained unaffected by the darkness of the cluster of clouds.She was now a doctor, serving humanity,treating people and enlightening their lives saving their loved ones life and also financially supporting people in need.She had not only fulfilled her and her parents’ dream but also lessened the burden off their shoulders and herself was shouldering the responsibility of others.Everthing was going on smoothly and all of a sudden a drop of water fell on her face and she returned back from her future self to her present state.Although her dream is not yet fulfilled but it is to be achieved by her with self belief, dedication and perseverence and she will surely enlighten everyone’s path being the light bearer,just like the candle which helped her in following her ritual.
