Eyes Of Light

PROLOGUE

"Whirling trees, mesmerizing flowers, pleasant breeze, gloomy clouds hiding sunrays, greeny mountains, grumpy rocks, ragged roads, fascinating environment, and so much more - that's her native, Kanyakumari.

The place she adores the most.

Whenever she feels inspired, the first thing that comes to mind is her native, Kanyakumari. The southern tip and a perfect destination amidst nature's greenery, yet a somewhat overlooked district in the country. Despite boasting a high literacy rate, the district remains neglected. Therefore, she considers it as  her top mission to make the world aware of Kanyakumari and to instill pride in this lesser-known destination. She wants recognition as a girl from Kanyakumari, not just from Tamil Nadu.

Now, the moment has arrived. Her dream has come true. She is no longer Navya Jain. She has rewritten her destiny. Her name has transformed into a powerful one: from an unworthy girl to one of the most prestigious candidates - an IAS officer.

Her identity is a resounding rebuke to those who expected her downfall.

Rejections, failures, abandonment, loneliness, hatred, and more have sculpted her into a famous personality. Her attitude towards enemies and genuine heart for innocents is enough to reveal her true nature.

Life adheres to the law of attraction. We are drawn to things according to our human mentality. She considers herself a confidential and privileged woman, fueled by the confidence born from failures and rejections. Moreover, she takes immense pride in the monumental change she has undergone.

"Be Yourself" is often touted. Being oneself is acceptable, but to achieve the goals and desires burning within, change is necessary. Change enables adaptation to various situations, ultimately guiding you toward self-recognition.

And that's why today, our Navya Jain from Kanyakumari proudly stands as an incomparable icon.

"You're not even fit to be a police constable," her mother's ridiculous and harsh words, still echo in her ears - painful moments in life. Breaking down is acceptable; crying hard is acceptable. However, giving up is not. She must thank herself for being strong and moving forward.

"Liar! F***ing liar! What's the use of chasing a career? Remember, a husband wants his wife to be his slave. Both in bed and in the household. Women are meant for servitude, and men are born to rule the world." The offensive words she heard from a well-known person still ring in her ears. A smirk spreads across her lips. She has rewritten those words. Rising above men's derogatory remarks, she secured the top place in the UPSC.

AIR - 1.

That defines the intensity of the fire burning within her.

Navya had only one desire: to make her father proud and witness her mother shed tears of genuine happiness. But situations weren't favorable. However, times change everything and everyone. Now, she has earned immense respect and honor from all those who once abandoned and rejected her. That defines the magnitude of her success.

Navya Jain, a 27-year-old, sincere, honest, and genuine IAS officer. The daughter of Mr. Moorthy Jain, a retired army man, and Mrs. Prabha Moorthy, a pharmacist. Growing up amidst distractions and hardships, she managed to overcome all obstacles and now stands as the country's famous IAS officer.

Now, her father proudly considers himself recognized as Navya Jain's father, rather than just having Navya as his daughter. Finally, his dream has come true.

"Delayed again?" exclaimed Navya. She's thrilled to meet her parents after two years.

The last two years passed in training, visits, and work. Finally, she is entering her native as an IAS officer, exactly what she wished for.
