'Love You Zindagi' : SwaSan SS

Shot 1 : Journey Of Dr. Swara Bose

~*~*~* HER POV ~*~*~*

'Love you Zindagi'... For the person who taught me everything in my life.

For the person who changed my life.

Imagining a good-for-nothing girl like me... Oops! sorry. I'll cut my tongue. He hated hearing that about me. So, I will go straight to the point.

Have you ever imagined that if you're suffering from some very bad conditions, physical or mental, and soon someone appears as a new ray of hope into your life, and becomes keen on his decision to make everything correct in your life?

Well, I never imagined this if coming to me. There was a period in my life where I had gone through very difficult times, and claiming that since my childhood I suffered from a mental disability called as dyslexia made my life very miserable. I couldn't read and write. My only family -- my mother Sharmishtha Bose -- also couldn't recognise my mental illness. And when she finally did, she passed away right when I was in third standard due to a major accident. It was only my dida who understood about my troubleshooting in studies. She was the only one who loved me the most after my mother's demise.

Yet I never had a huge family like everyone has, but I was always happy with everything I got from God. I never complained for anything.

So, the twist in the tale is that I am a medical student. Shocked? It's natural for you to be. You must be thinking how did I reach this far being a dyslexic. So the truth is, somehow my dida had managed to educate me till my twelvth grade and I had learnt reading and writing to a very minimal extent. But our lives changed again when dida was declared as a diabetes patient and after a few months, she too left... left me. All alone.

To be honest, my life was absolutely nothing then. I was pursuing the first year of 'Mumbai Medical University'. I was a girl with nothing and I was forced to stay in a hostel alone. But since the beginning of the year I started getting absolutely bad grades in my exams all because of my disability to read and write. Yes, it's true my dida did help me. But dyslexia is a case where your state of mind is absolutely pathetic. So...

My life in medical university in those five months was never easy. I performed poorly in assignments, projects, presentations or just managed to pass. But I was able to gain marks for my performance in laboratory practicals of examining dead bodies, that was the only thing I could be able to do. But for the dean, percentage was all that mattered. Dean Durgaprasad Maheshwari was never fond of me, and his strong dislike for poor students created more hurdles in my way. I got various taunts from our professors and my classmates used to troll me because of my bad scores. No one except my Dida understood about my severe difficulty in reading or writing and fear for letters and words.

But now no more...

Time had changed a lot right now. Yes, I was no more the Swara Bose who used to be a poor performer in her college days. No more the Swara who was broken. No more the Swara who was dyslexic.

Today if I'm living, only that one person was the reason for my existence. The person who taught me to fight with these damn letters, words, paragraphs and lessons! The person who brought light into my dark life. The only person who after my Maa and Dida's demise loved me, something I thought I didn't deserve. The person who supported me in difficult times! The person who helped me pursue my dreams... My Life, 'Sanskar'!

When I first heard his name, I realised his family had chosen the best name for him. Haha, He used to be a troublemaker in our college times! But when he met me, I didn't know what attracted him towards me that he used to do nothing but compliment me everytime. Ha, sounds insane, right? I used to think that he just made a troll of me for his fun. I also thought that he's going to be some sort of trouble for me in future. But I was fully wrong.
