- फातिमा असला को मेडिकल एजुकेशन के लिए अनफिट माना गया लेकिन हार नहीं मानी, आज ये मेडिकल स्टूडेंट हैं, हौसलों के दम पर सपने पूरे कर रही हैं
Key points:
- फातिमा असला देश और दुनिया की उन हजारों लड़कियों का प्रतिनिधित्व करती हैं जो शारीरिक विषमताओं के बाद भी जिंदगी की परेशानियों से जूझते हुए हर हाल में आगे बढ़ रही हैं। इस लड़की के चेहरे की मुस्कान देखकर इसकी तकलीफों का अंदाजा लगाना भी मुश्किल है। असला की किताब, ‘नीलवु पोल चिरिकुन्ना पेनकुट्टी’ (एक धुंधली मुस्कान वाली लड़की) जल्दी ही रिलीज होने वाली है।
- फातिमा के माता-पिता को इस बच्ची की हड्डियों से जुड़ी बीमारी ‘ऑस्टियोजेनेसिस इम्परफेक्टा’ के बारे में डॉक्टरों से तब बताया जब वह महज तीन दिन की थीं। जैसे-जैसे वह बड़ी हुई, उन्हें व्हील चेयर की जरूरत पड़ने लगी। वह पढ़-लिखकर डॉक्टर बनना चाहती थीं ताकि अपनी ही तरह अन्य दिव्यांगों की मदद कर सकें लेकिन मेडिकल बोर्ड ने उन्हें मेडिकल की पढ़ाई के लिए अनफिट करार दिया। फिलहाल वे बीएचएमएस में फाइनल ईयर की स्टूडेंट हैं और अपने सारे सपनों को पूरा करने की जद्दोजहद में लगी हुई हैं।
