Scene starts with a woman shouting at her daughter as she was late for her board exam, "Poonmi Jaldi kar beta, papa intezaar kr rhe hai"
(Poonmi come fast my child, your dad is waiting)
Poonam went towards her Maa(mother) with comb in her hand signalling Shanti Devi (Poonam's Mother) to make her braids.
"Baal bandhana kab sikhaegi, 19 ki ho gyi hai tu, phir bhi kuch nhi aata"
(You are already nineteen and don't even know how to make braids)
Poonam just pouted on this and started setting her bag while her mother was bradding her hairs. After 5 minutes Santi Devi was done making her braids and went in kitchen to bring dahi-sakar(sugar and yogurt) for her.
"Chal ja ab aur dhyan se pariksha deke aana, thik hai"
(Now go and give your paper with full concentration)
"Thik hai Maa, ab jane bhi do"
(Okay Mom, Now let me go)
"Haan haan ja"
(Yeah yeah Go)
Poonam left her house and found her father cleaning his Rickshaw. Jiggling of her anklets caught his attention and he passed her a smile. Poonam went to her papa(father) and gave him a wide tooth smile.
"Poonmi Sab yaad hai na?" her father asked.
(Poonam you remember everything right?)
Poonam gulped and nodded her head making her father narrow his eyes.
"sach mein yaad hai, papa"
(I really do, papa)
"Hmm, thik hai fir chalo ab"
(Fine then let's go now)
Poonam and his father left to her exam centre for her last board exam.
.........
Poonam left her exam centre with her friends and they all were so happy as finally their school education has come to end. One of her friend, Sonakshi asked "toh ab kya kroge tum log ? Matlab college mein kya subject loge ?"
(So, now what will you guys do? Means which subject you'll take in college ?)
Shruti, another friend of her replied "Maine toh BA History Honours socha hai tum btao ?"
(I've decided BA history honours,what about you guys ?)
Radha, best friend of Poonam replied "Mein toh Maths lungi"
(I'll take maths)
Other girls looked at her in awe and asked together "Sachiii"
(Really!!)
Radha nodded her head making her friend exchange a look with each other and they smiled.
"Main toh BA Rajnitik vigyaan mein krungi " Sonakshi speaks.
(I'll take BA political Science)
Everyone nodded their head at her reply, between this Poonam's little head had only one question "Is it compulsory to study after schooling ?" her trance broke when Radha called out her name.
"Poonam Tu kya vishay rkhegi ?"
(Poonam what subject you'll keep?)
Poonam looked at her with unsure eyes and just shook her head saying that she hasn't decided yet, but her heart asked,
"Poonam what is your future ?"
.......To be continued
