She loved sketching and her room full of sketches of famous personalities was proof of her passion. Seeing this, her friends had gifted her the Natraj dark pencils so that she could go on to live her dream of becoming an artist.

She had grown tired seeing the troubles in her house day in and day out but could only cry thinking about her helpless state.
