Aasha- the Inspiration

Aasha - the Inspiration is the journey of Jyoti

Priya Malvankar, a Marathi girl born and educated in

some B grade towns of India whose birth and upbringing

hover around a middle class family with lots of dos

and don’ts to follow; Like in 90 percent Indian families,

she faced negligence and felt unimportant being a girl

child. Luck strikes her door when she has the opportunity

to travel abroad with her husband, see the world

and serve at an NGO. She publishes a book ‘Aasha –

the Inspiration’ which is about the struggle and journey

of a girl from orthodox society to the ultimate of

success and fame. This book was written and published

as a fund raising initiative for the NGO she was working

for. Her literary work got appreciated all over the

world and she gets identified as an iconic symbol who

uplifts the stature of common woman. She admits in a

felicitation program that that the motivation in life

comes from her mother.

This was an appeal to the masses of India, a message

not to ignore a girl child, but instead to give her equal

opportunity and help her bloom like a flower amongst

the society.
