Sajitha<br \/>\ncouldn\u2019t think of anything else but her husband Subhash, his love and affection. Everything she<br \/>\nlooked around seemed to remind her of him. He ran to the neighbourhood whenever needed,<br \/>\nsometimes the money earned with sweat was meant for his friends in need. He was not only her<br \/>\nsweetheart but also to the people around him. His thoughts shattered her consciousness for<br \/>\nmonths. She couldn\u2019t pamper even her children, take care of their studies, or even do the daily<br \/>\nchores.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever fate brings, the poorest need to meet two ends, right? She went to different homes as<br \/>\na housemaid, reaped paddy fields, worked in a cashew nut factory, sold lotteries, and did<br \/>\nwhatever work she could, to take care of her little ones and ailing parents. One day, as she was<br \/>\nback from her work, walking through the unpaved path, came across a few ladies, much<br \/>\nyounger than her, indulging in a combined study for PSC. This scene excited her thoughts. She<br \/>\nstarted thinking about the possibility of joining them after work. But being an average student<br \/>\nand a BTech dropout, would a 37 old be able to cope with those young ladies? Questions of<br \/>\nself-doubt popped up in her mind.<\/p>\n<p>Sajitha decided to ask them if they could add her too and they held her up. From the next<br \/>\nevening, Entri\u2019s classes fueled her determination. While cleaning the floor, reaping the fields,<br \/>\nsieving the cashew nuts, and traveling to and fro, Sajitha got addicted to earphones. After work,<br \/>\nshe walked as quickly as possible to join them. Her mother-in-law took care of the children, as<br \/>\nshe was reluctant to drift from studies even for a single minute. No wonder, such a determined<br \/>\nwoman could get into LGS- Thiruvananthapuram main list. Sajitha couldn\u2019t control her emotions<br \/>\nseeing the festive occasion of Entri&#8217;s Rank Holders\u2019 Meet-up. The countless grinning faces of<br \/>\nthe rank holders, meeting the teachers for the first time, and receiving a \u2018ponnada,&#8217; all seemed<br \/>\nlike a dream for her. We at Entri, appreciate the hard work and determination of people like<br \/>\nSajitha. No matter how bitter life seems, they put in the effort to make it buttery. Being<br \/>\nemployed, she now dreams of building a library in memory of her beloved husband, Subhash.<br \/>\nWe hope she will fulfill that dream just like this!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/0x3b\/ow4f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-25543605\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25543605 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kerala-psc-rect-banner-2022-2.png\" alt=\"Kerala PSC Cook Rank List 2022\" width=\"970\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kerala-psc-rect-banner-2022-2.png 970w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kerala-psc-rect-banner-2022-2-300x77.png 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kerala-psc-rect-banner-2022-2-768x198.png 768w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kerala-psc-rect-banner-2022-2-750x193.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can happiness be a choice?
