When Life Writes Its Own Script of Triumph

We have often seen stories of success overcoming adversity on the silver screen. But this time, reality has surpassed cinema. A Bengali girl — Adrija Ghosh from Nimta, North 24 Parganas — has written such a story. She hadn’t even crossed Class VI when a deadly disease, cancer, struck her. Four long years of struggle, 82 rounds of chemotherapy, and countless moments of pain, fear, and uncertainty — yet Adrija never gave up.Standing firmly beside her was her courageous mother, Jyoti Ghosh, a teacher at Belgharia Boys’ School. She single-handedly took her daughter to Mumbai for treatment.After battling through all odds, Adrija not only defeated cancer but returned to life stronger than ever — scoring 97.37% in her Higher Secondary first phase exams and securing 9th rank in the state!

This week seems to have written an epic of women’s triumphs — by women themselves.Just a few days ago, a girl who used to sit at home watching her teammates play on TV, has now lifted the World Cup for India. Her name — Shafali Verma.Her courage, aggression, and determination on the field have left the entire nation spellbound. Yet once, to be allowed to play cricket, she had to cut her hair short and disguise herself as a boy, because society wasn’t ready to see a girl holding a bat. Today, that same girl is being celebrated across India.

And not just Shafali — Smriti, Richa, Jemimah, Harmanpreet — these names are no longer just of cricketers; they have become symbols of inspiration, echoes of courage for every Indian girl.This victory, therefore, is not just of a team, not just of women — it is India’s victory. A victory brought home by girls who fought against barriers and disbelief.“I am a woman, I can do anything” — they truly embody this spirit.

But stories of success this week aren’t only about women.From Purulia, comes the story of Chandan Maji, who lost half his body in a terrible bike accident — yet refused to give up.With unyielding determination, he cleared the NEET examination. But his dream of becoming a doctor hit a roadblock due to his 80% disability. Still, Chandan did not lose hope. He sought justice in court, and finally, Justice Biswajit Basu of the Calcutta High Court directed that he be re-evaluated at Lady Hardinge Hospital in Delhi.Doctors there declared that Chandan was fully fit to study medicine, and with the court’s order, the doors to his dream finally opened.

This has truly been a week of resilient triumphs — where victory means not just marks or degrees, but the indomitable love for life.These stories remind us that “Where there is will, there is always a way.” This is the victory of unbreakable determination — an inspiration for all who still think, “I can’t.”

With courage and confidence, everything is possible.
