It’s not a story or imagination, it’s a fact what our society do, its reality what we think about a girl when she stepped out ofhome to reach her dreams.

There was a girl named Niddi. She was from middle class family, leading life with full of joy and happiness. One day in her school, teacher was asking a question to everyone that “What is your goal?” Students started answering like I want to become doctor, I want to become a lawyer, etc. even some students don’t know what is their goal. She raised her hand and she answered I want to become a pilot. Teacher was stunned asked her “Do you know who is pilot?, what does he do?, How to become a pilot?. Niddi was silent and confused why her teacher was asking like that. After going home, she told to her father what happened to her at school. Her father was also shocked and asked her why do you want to become a pilot? She said whenever I dream, I was flying in the sky and I liked it. So I want to become a pilot. Her father laughed at her and said “Ok, I will teach how to fly.” Next minute she started dreaming like she became a pilot and she was flying.

The day came, she completed her secondary studies. She came happily and told her father that she applied for Aeronautics and she was going to become a pilot soon? He was annoyed and said “No”. She was asking “why papa, you know right what my dream was? I thought you feel very happy about this.” He replied “I was very happy that my daughter was such a brave girl to fly on the clouds, but we are in a society that it won’t accept a girl to become a pilot.” She was irritated about his words and she said “whatever the society thinks, whether it will accept or not, it may salute me or regret me, I am going to become a pilot whether you support or not?” he said “wherever you go, whatever you do I support.”

She joined in Aeronauticswith great enthusiasm. She don't know that she was the only girl in her class until she entered into the class. Whole class became silent and everyone staring at her "who is she?, Why she came into this class?."She boldly step up on dias and introduced herself that"I'm Niddi srinivasan and I came here to become a pilot." Everyone started laughing at her and thrown comments "You are not a spiderman or superman daughter to become a pilot, you are just a little girl better to go back!!"Niddi felt very bad that none of her classmates are good to support her.

At sudden Niddi father died with heart attack. Now she was alone, no one was there to support her to her dream. Relatives started avoiding her. Everyone became opponent. Even she refused to give up and made her heart like a stone that never reacts to others words and do things what it can do.

Pilot is not a easy job to do for a girl, needs more courage. She like heights and excited to fly when she came into lane of flights. Even some boys are afraid of heights and not ready to fly. People astonished when trainer asked who was going to fly on clouds first, she raised her voice that I am there to fly. She completed her training and became expert as pilot. She started her career, people who laughed at her now respect her. Soceity gave asalute to her.

Respect women, support her to reach their dreams. Nothing will happen without her support whoever you are.
