Prologue
I DEDICATE THIS STORY TO MY BEST FRIEND Dr NANCY WHO DIED A FEW MONTHS BEFORE DUE TO COVID.
FEW WORDS TO BE KNOWN BEFORE READING THE BOOK.
SINCE IT IS AN Indian Story written in English, some words are written here with meanings to help all the readers.
CHACHI is someone a child calls to father's sister in law.
CHACHA is someone a child calls to a father's brother.
BHAI/BHAIYA means brother.
MAMA is someone a child calls to mother's brother.
MAMI is someone a child calls to mother's sister in law.
BEHEN means sister.
SARI is a dress worn by Indian women consisting of very piece of thin cloth wrapped around the body.
NAMASTE is a respectful form of greeting any guests, relatives or strangers.
It was her cousin little Meenakshi's fifth birthday and Ria decided that since she was back from the hostel, she could help them.
Ria stood in a long simple grey dress, along with her mother, welcoming the guests. Her mother, on the other hand, wore a dark blue silk sari.
Ria disliked wearing such clothes. It was too uncomfortable for her to walk around. She wore it for the freshers day and could not walk with it comfortably like other students. Moreover, she fell on the stage in front of others and broke her heels. A part of the cloth was even poking out from below the sari, near her feet after her great fall.
'After I fail, my mother will have no option but to take me back to my birthplace.' thought Ria, as she wished namaste to a tall, bald man who appeared in front of her wearing a black, knee-length coat, which closed up to the neck on top of white trousers.
"Ah Ria, I always wanted you to meet my friend. He was like my brother in school," said Mrs Singh.
"Natasha, how are you? It's been so long ." said the tall man.
" I am great. Ria, this is Dr Hari Prasad. He teaches anatomy in a medical college."
"Which college sir?" asked Ria, trying her best to be polite.
"Lakshmi Narayan Medical College."
Ria looked at him shocked. Her mother gasped so loudly that many people turned to look at her.
'Oh God, He teaches at my college!!! I was missing his classes and he even turned out to be mom's friend. Oh no my mission will fail now. No, I need to do something.' thought Ria, nervously.
She turned to say any excuse but with one look at her mother, she began to sweat.

Mission: Fail My First Year The Fall
Do people face unfortunate events regularly in life? Of course, everyone does occasionally. In Ria's case, that unfortunate event came in form of a fracture of her cousin on whom she pranked. She wore makeup and a costume to look like a ghost. Her cousin slipped on the stairs while running and ended up with a fracture. Luckily it wasn't his head that got affected but since he fell more than three flights of stairs, he ended up with a fracture in his right elbow. This unfortunate event changed Ria's life suddenly. Her parents were so upset by this that they decided to send her to India for her bachelor's in medicine and surgery. A couple of other events troubled Ria's stay in India but none were unfortunate because she managed to shine in those events among her peers. She thought she could manage her walk wearing a sari on the stage in front of her batchmate

Ria and her friends quickly rushed out of their hostel. The auditorium was in the building next to the second year building. The ground floor had two huge rooms opposite each other. This was where the third and final year MBBS students had their classes. The auditorium was upstairs. It was very huge with several ceiling fans. The auditorium also had a very huge platform. Several girls who wore sarees stood in a corner near the stairs of the platform in a queue. Ria rushed forward and stood last in the line. Her palms and soles began to sweat due to nervousness but she was relieved at the fact that the contest hadn't started. Clenching her lips, she turned her neck and looked for her friends. They were in the second row on the left side of the hall. A cooler was right next to them. Nancy and Nazia both gave her a thumbs-up as they sat down on a white plastic chair.

What is a beauty pageant? Is it just a public entertainment where judges select a girl whom they find to be the most beautiful? Or is it a contest beyond physical appeal? Pageants were platforms for showcasing women's empowerment, diversity, intelligence and leadership.Women who take part in pageants have utilized the platform to empower other women, others have also used pageants as a way to advance their careers. Although this was the meaning of a beauty pageant, it also somehow became a medium for fame for several young ladies but Miss Fresher was nothing at all compared to this.Ria realized that neither it gave any fame nor it would help her in her career. It looked like a contest meant only for popularity. Perhaps this was the reason why many of her batchmates weren't interested in participating. It would only boost her image among the students b

Ria thought all the students would be excited for fresher's day but she was wrong. Her classmates did not show much excitement. Apart from the girls who stayed at the hostel and the students who participated no one was excited. This shocked Ria. Back in America, at her school, the situation was quite different. Any competition would be something everyone would talk about and watch. Whether it was sports, singing, dancing, debate or quiz, many participated as per their interest and many would be excited about it. The hype for fresher's day here was not even remotely similar to that.The girls from the hostel who were rude to Ria now became quiet. Their acne was still visible. Few of them were so embarrassed about it that they sat at the back almost away from many. They only stood up for their attendance covering their faces with a cloth. Ria did feel sorry for them until she rememb

Finally tomorrow, the first-year students would have their fresher's day which was being organized by the second year students of their medical college. Many girls were already excited to see how the event would go but unfortunately, the girls who stayed at the hostel had a different story. Most of the girls from the hostel participated in the event and just a day before the event many of them had severe acne on their faces. They suspected that someone mixed something in the water of the washrooms. The hostel's warden asked the affected girls to freshen themselves and visit the dermatology department of the hospital. She also assured everyone that everything will be fine by evening but until then all students in the hostel will have to use water from the washrooms of the college. This almost made Ria throw up. The unfortunate moments she had with a rat appeared in her mind. Nazia too wasn't happy with this news because she disliked the

There was never a time in Ria's life when she thought someday she would wear a sari. She happily paraded showing off her Indo western clothes at weddings and festivals. Her mother made sure that she wore something that didn't offend anyone yet somehow her typical Indian aunties always found a way to complain something about her. Often they complained about her attitude and called it ego issues because she didn't talk much to them. At times they openly made fun of the way she stood and the way she sat.Ria remembered how her relatives made fun of her in one of the Indian weddings. She wore a very beautiful long skirt which had embroidery on a matching blouse. It was called ghagra choli. Though Ria wore a similar dress for various weddings, this time the blouse was heavy. Her relatives who saw her at the wedding did not appreciate her dress. Instead, they made fun of the way s
