In the heart of Rajasthan, where the scorching sun kisses the golden sands, nestled a small village in the Nagaur district—a place where life moved slowly, and dreams often dissolved into dust. But among those dunes lived a girl named Dhra, whose spirit was as fierce as the desert heat and as pure as the morning dew.
Born on the 8th of May, 2000, Dhra belonged to a modest middle-class family. Her home was not filled with riches, but with love and responsibility. She was the eldest of three siblings, with a younger brother and sister who looked up to her not just as a sister, but as a second parent. Her father, the sole breadwinner, worked tirelessly as a laborer to keep the family afloat and ensure the children could pursue their education.
Even as a child, Dhra stood out. Intelligent, disciplined, and deeply respectful, she was the kind of student every teacher remembered fondly. After returning home from school, she would take up small jobs to earn a little money—enough to buy books for herself and her siblings. She never let her father feel the burden of their education; instead, she turned her brilliance into strength. Dhra consistently topped her class, earning scholarships and prizes from competitions that she dutifully spent on her siblings' needs.
By the time she reached Class 11, Dhra's dream was to study Mathematics—her favorite subject in which she had scored an impressive 98 out of 100 in her 10th board exams. But the small school in her village didn't offer the Science-Maths stream. With quiet acceptance, she chose Biology, even though her heart beat for numbers.
In 2017, at just 17 years old, Dhra completed her 12th grade with 85% marks. She attempted the NEET exam, aspiring to step into the world of medicine. But destiny had its own plans. Her marks weren't enough to secure a government seat, and her family's financial struggles left no room for expensive coaching or private college fees. Setting her dreams aside, Dhra took admission in a nearby college for a B.Sc., trying to pave a new path without losing the fire within.
