Mumbai girl who lost both legs diagnosed with a bone tumor, but not will, becomes MD

( She has proved that where there is a will there is a way)

Mumbai: Thirteen years ago when Jogeshwari resident Roshan Jawwad lost both her legs in a train accident, she thought her life had come to a standstill and she would never fulfill her childhood, dream of becoming a doctor. But the brave girl has shown she is made of sterner stuff, fighting against all odds to realize her desire.

Today, Roshan has completed her MD in pathology and has proved that where there is a will there is a way. Despite her handicap and bureaucracy’s difficult rules, the 29-year-old did not give up hope. In fact, the adversities strengthened her resolve. “I am very happy to have passed MD. It has been difficult, but I had promised myself that I won’t give up,” Roshan told TOI. In October 2008, Roshan and her school friends were returning from Andheri to Jogeshwari by train when she fell onto the tracks and her legs came under a moving train.

Her lower limbs were severed at the ankle and thigh. Roshan, who scored 92.1% in her Class X exams in 2008, was returning home after writing her college exam papers at Bandra’s Anjuman i-Islam girl’s college. Her father was a vegetable vendor when the accident took place.

Her journey to become a doctor has not been easy. She had to approach Bombay HC for admission in MBBS even after cracking the medical entrance exam. There was a rule “up to 70% handicap” to study medicine but she was found to be 86% handicapped post-accident. She approached the court for help to be able to study medicine. Then Chief Justice of the HC, Justice Mohit Shah, directed the college to give her admission. She never looked back.

Roshan passed MBBS with first class in 2016 from Seth GS Medical College (KEM hospital). She cracked the PG medical entrance exams in 2018 and got admission to the same college for MD(Pathology). During her second year in MD, she said, she was diagnosed with a bone tumor. “I was operated upon and during this time our Hod, teachers, and friends helped me a lot,” said Roshan. In the MD results, declared on Wednesday she secured the fourth position at KEM pathology department with 65% marks.

Mumbaikar Proves No Challenge Is Big Enough

Wheelchair-bound CA goes places 15 yrs. since 11/7 blasts

Mumbai: As he peeks into his new office space on the eve of its inauguration, Chirag Chauhan cannot stop beaming. His dream of expanding his business has come true on a day that had a profound impact on his life. Chauhan, 36, a Kandivali resident, remembers July 11, 2006, differently – not as a day that left him wheelchair-bound but as one that propelled him to work harder and prove to the world that no challenge is big enough if you have faith in yourself.

Chauhan, then 21, was returning home from this workplace while he was pursuing his Chartered Accountancy (CA) course when a series of explosions ripped through local trains on Western Railway. He remembers opening his eyes in a derailed coach, lying amid hordes of injured commuters at Santacruz and not being able to feel any sensation below the waist. The next three months were spent at various hospitals as he tried to come to terms with his new reality. Chauhan had suffered a spinal cord injury that left both his legs and lower body paralyzed. “I often wondered, during those initial months, why I had to suffer so much, “he said.

The physiotherapy was grueling as Chauhan learned to sit up straight and manage his body. His meals and exercise regime had to be done by the clock. “My mother was a constant pillar of support throughout. I also found solace in the spiritual text, “he said.

Between 2006 and 2009, Chauhan’s daily routine comprised eight hours of physiotherapy and six hours of study. “My father, who passed away a couple of years before the train blasts, had taught us to always remind ourselves that there were people whose struggles were greater than mine. That helped me surge ahead,” he said.

After clearing his CA, Chauhan landed a job with an MNC. But the challenge was far from over. The MNC’s office was in Chembur and Chauhan had to commute 25km one wat to reach his workplace from his home. After one year with the MNC, Chauhan moves to a bank.

In 2012, he opened a small office with a few employees. “I had zero clients as id had moved from a corporate job,” Chauhan said. But he worked very hard and started adding to his clients.

During the lockdown, he founded a platform that offers virtual taxation services. “The portal gets 10,000 hits daily and also has an app,” he says. On Monday, Chauhan will begin a new journey in a much larger office space, against all odds.

The pandemic has uprooted lives. Among the worst-hit are kids from needy homes, many of whom are being forced to abandon studies and work, or juggle the two S L Shanth Kumar on childhoods interrupted in Mumbai.

Dharavi’s Kabaddi Player Sells Masks Outside Ground

Aishwarya Vijapurkar, an amateur kabaddi player from Dharavi, fears she’ll lose the game to this pandemic. These days, the 12-year-old sits outside the kabbadi ground to sell masks, garbage bags, cutlery items, and other knick-knacks.

Until last year’s lockdown, the family had a smooth life. Aishwarya’s father worked as a security guard on contract. But now, with offices shut, he has no job. So, Aishwarya has to be at their roadside stall right outside the ground where she plays kabaddi under the tutelage of a state-level player.

Aishwarya is up around 5-am to go play kabaddi with other kids. By 8, she is back to the ground to sell the household items while her father goes scouting for odd jobs. By 9:30, Aishwarya rushes home. She and her sister, students of our lady of Good Counsel, Sion, take turns to use their dad’s cell phone for an online class. After class, Aishwarya joins her father again to help him at the roadside “shop”. The girls say she is ready to work hard and study too. But she is very keen to put her best foot forward on the kabaddi ground and doesn’t want to lose. Time alone will tell if the girl will emerge victoriously.

Open Your Heart, Give A Child A Home

New Delhi: As the second wave of the novel coronavirus snatched many lives in the capital and left many children without parents, the State Child Protection Society of Delhi has opened up applications for families to foster children. A slew of eligibility criteria has been issued for families that would like to apply.

In a notice, the State Child Protection Society of Delhi, which comes under the department of women and child development of the Delhi government, mentions that every child has the right to live and grow in a family. Society has invited applications from ‘responsible citizen’ to provide care in a family environment to kids in child care institutions, orphans, or children separated from family.

According to the notice, the eligibility condition includes couples who are both 35 years of age or above, possess the competency to own the responsibility of a child to temporarily receive and foster care and protection. Both spouses should be willing to foster the same child.

Both spouses have to be Indian citizens, residents of the national capital, and also have their own house in the city.

Both of them have to be in good physical, emotional and mental health. All the other members of the family also have to be medically fit. The family ordinarily should have enough income to meet the needs of the child and have adequate space and basic facilities at their home.

Those people who meet the eligibility criterion, the notice states, are encouraged to send their willingness, explaining their socio-cultural background, family composition, and their financial capacity to the member secretary of the society. The duration of short-time foster care is not more than one year.

Ultimately, a Child Welfare Committee concerned or Juvenile Justice Board will decide on whether a family is fit to foster a child. Children whose parents have died due to Covid-19 are also being provided Rs. 2,500 per month by Delhi Government till they attain the age of 25 years as part of the Mukhyamantri Covid-19 Pariwar Aarthik Sahayata Yojna.
