...I wish for a place in my father's heart".
He is her hero, her idol, her superstar. She looks up to him endlessly and from time immemorial, her only dream has been to be like him. But she is his biggest failure, she is his life's biggest regret, she is his daughter. She knows it and it devastates her.
Two months ago, Anjali Singh Rawat couldn't care less about mountaineers. Today, she is almost one, all set for her first expedition none other than Everest itself. It's quite incredible sometimes how one incident, one experience and one revelation can change our lives almost instantly. For Anjali, that is the fact that she is not a son. But daddy's little girl is not so little anymore. Being born a daughter was not in her hands but that is no reason why she cannot achieve for her father what would conventionally require a 'son'. There are women in Indian Armed Forces but since Anjali cannot work towards that given time constraints, she goes for the next best thing: fulfilling her father's broken dream.
Col. Abhiyanker says that completing the Everest Summit teaches how to live life. Hopefully, it will help Anjali get what she craves for the most in her life: her father's love. Without it, she can never be complete.
