Today was a special day for
Aboli. She was coaxed by her parents to go on a shopping spree, on her own. Just
an iota of self-doubt was left behind somewhere deep
within.

Dressing up in her favourite
attire, she complemented it with a Kashmiri stole. Wrapping it around the neck
gave her warmth and assurance. Bringing some tresses ahead over the right shoulder
and checking the look finally in the mirror, she smiled. The dimples persuaded
her to hold her head high and walk with confidence.

There was a spring and gait
in her stride. She started browsing through the Autum winter collection. “Retail
Therapy” soon washed away last speck of fear.

Thanks to the cadaverous donation
of skin, Aboli, the acid attack victim, could walk back to normal life.

What a powerful post. I am glad victims dont have to suffer all life long and some hope exists for them. It is honourable that youre using your writing to talk more about organ donation.

This. Was such a powerful post,Anagha. I loved the confidence of Aboli. Not every person, a victim of such a crisis can garner courage. I really hope each of us looks at such people indifferently. They are one of us. Let's not make them feel otherwise.
Great take, Anagha 🙂

They are one of us…so right! And many could be one of us provided many decide to donate the organs! Thanks for visiting and sharing your thoughts!
