It’s 10 o’clock, and, as usual, she stretches and slowly gets out of bed, rubbing her eyes as she shuffles toward the kitchen. Kriti is in her second year of college, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts with honors. While her friends may be busy with social outings, she’s focused on her studies, preparing diligently for the competitive Civil Services exam—a dream her family has encouraged.
In Kriti’s household, the responsibilities are shared. Her family consists of five people: her mother, father, her elder brother, and elder sister. Her father, a army officer but was retired, calm person love younger daughter kirti very much, always supporting his children’s ambitions. Her mother is a homemaker, gentle and caring, often the one nudging Kriti to stick to a study schedule. Her older siblings are supportive yet teasing, often joking about her “lazy” nature.
Kriti, while serious about her studies, has a little naughtiness but laid-back personality. She’s not an early riser and usually starts her day later than most, to the amusement of her family. After a light breakfast, she helps with lunch preparation, as she does every day. She takes on the task of cooking rice while her elder sister prepares the dal, the two of them working in comfortable silence.
After lunch, Kriti finally settles down with her books, her mind shifting to her Civil Services preparation. Her desk is neatly organized, filled with notes and study materials. She is determined and hardworking, even if her motivation comes in waves. She’s used to a life within these familiar walls, rarely venturing out or meeting new people. Her world is small, filled with family, books, and quiet moments, which is how she likes it—safe, predictable, and entirely under her control.
As she flips through her textbooks, her mother occasionally calls out gentle reminders to stay focused, to which Kriti sighs but smiles. Her family has always been her biggest support, but also her greatest responsibility. She’s the youngest, and while her family expects much from her, they give her the freedom to pursue her goals in her own way.
