In a narrow lane of a small town lived a boy named Aarav. He didn't have expensive clothes or the latest phone, but he had something far more powerful—a dream.
Aarav dreamed of changing his family's life. People around him often laughed.
"What will studying give you?"
"No one ever succeeds from here."
Aarav stayed silent. He believed that dreams grow in silence, not in noise.
During the day, he went to school. In the evenings, he worked at a small shop. At night, under a dim light, he studied from old books. Many times, his eyes filled with exhaustion, but his heart never gave up.
Then the results came.
Aarav stood first in the entire district.
The same people who once mocked him now spoke his name with respect. His mother's eyes shone with tears—not of pain, but of pride.
That day, Aarav understood one simple truth:
Circumstances do not defeat people. People defeat circumstances.
And that narrow lane was no longer just a lane—
it had become the beginning of dreams.
